Happy Leap Year Day! I'm still convinced that Leap Year Day is another ploy for Hallmark (You know I love them though) to make a little bit more money...like that valentines day, or black/women/Spanish month or teachers/nurses/secretaries day. Though I think black/women/Spanish is more like a ploy from Barnes and Noble to make you buy books about other cultures when everyone knows that you'll find that one episode on any channel you flip to. Celebrate Black History Month on VH1. It's funny, I never see Mariah there. But yet I see Alicia Keys! Double Standard! Double Standard! I think we should make Bi-racial history month! Or Men's history month. Then we'd be all politically correct and yet "happy".

What am I doing today? Homework...yes that dreaded thing you know you can’t get away from, even when you finish college! It just changes its name a little, basically dropping the "home" and you walk home and you go to yourself, "Geez I have so much work to do.

(End of today’s original/real post but...)


I guess since my sister pulled the idea, I better make a supporting comment.

George says:
"Why, oh why, can we no longer break into impromptu songs? Songs that everyone miraculously knows the dance moves and lyrics."

My response:
Maybe it's just who you hang out with. I can break into song and most of my friends will join in. In cool harmonies too! We did Moulin Rouge's Roxanne the other day, and getting up and dancing in the TV Studio, then we quickly stopped as Mr. Leonetti walked into the room and got back to work. Sometimes when walking the halls we'll do something like the juicy fruit synchronized walking or do that "Who's that lady?" (Who's that lady) . Maybe you should take a notice on modern day "breaking into song". I walk past the occasional Rap battle where there's the beat box and the rappers and even sometimes the dancing girls. I'd consider that breaking into song where everyone knows it. Everyone gets into it.

George Says:
"We all claim to be so "down" and "ghetto" and "hardcore" but we're not. I think we need to step up to what society expects of us. We must all band together to create chaos and new ways to insult and ridicule each other mercilessly."

My Response:
It's funny that you mentioned that, Vilma was telling me how gangs have gotten a little too 'bland'. We were joking around how some gangs are looking for that math student or that business law kid because they need an accountant for managing all the pot/LSD/MDMA/Lisim(I think I spelled that wrong) money and they need a lawyer to get them out of all their troubles. The real question is: Are you part of a gang? If not maybe one should check and make sure that all the facts are straight. One of the newest ways to insult and ridicule people? Keg Parties: A classic mix of old and new, underage drinking and football players that aren't part of gangs. What's next? Cheerleaders with eating disorders? Obesity? Gay Marriages? Your job being taken by a minority that will do the job for less? ...nah!


Oh and....

George Says:
"Like Howard Dean said at the end of his speech after he lost in Iowa, "YYYEEEAAAAAAHHHAAHHHHH!!!!!!!!!""

My Response:
As anyone well educated knows, Howard Dean's scream/squeal/pig call was taken well out of context; no one in the actual room could really hear it. Howard Dean's scream is basically like John Kerry's picture with Jane Fonda.

That's it...

(-M) I make evil run too ...has anyone got that? No, well it's not a comment about certain people's blogs! Silly it's just a simple play on words. That's the clue.


One more thing: The Word of the Day! (Which was easily stolen from my sister) Here's a word I use a lot


SNARK

1)nounUse of sarcasm or malice in speech. Commonly found in the LiveJournal community. also snarky, snarkiness.

Not to be snarky, but I don't see how what you're saying makes any sense.

"Oh, well, *that's* a good idea. How about we *all* follow *you* and jump off a cliff like lemmings?" she said snarkily.


2)nounsmart "donkey" comment

That comment was a snark.

3)noun Combination of "snide" and "remark". Sarcastic comment(s). Also snarky (adj.) and snarkily (adv.)

His commentary was rife with snark.
"Your boundless ineptitude is astounding," she snarkily declared.
