Rock of Love

I have decided that Rock of Love really is a guilty pleasure. I love watching it. I love seeing what craziness the girls will come up with. I love to see people who really think that they can fall in love by MASS DATING! But then, the mom in me kicks in. Bret Michaels (who I love!) has two daughters. So what I want to know is 1) what are they going to think in a few years (okay 20?!) when they see how daddy and their step mom got together and 2) what would he say if those were his daughters on a show like that shaking their stuff and hanging all over some guy, on TV, for the whole world to see. Come on Bret, really. Did you think of the long term effects before you signed on?? At least Scott Baio just looks stupid (but he really grew up when he became a father).

I figured out the spin for Rock of Love 3 (you know it's going to happen). I think they should bring back Bret's favorite 2 from seasons 1 and 2, and also put a "mole" in the house. She's to go to girl. Nobody will know that she is the mole, but she'll be there getting the goods and reporting back to Bret. Sort of like Heather has been doing the past couple of weeks. So at the final episode, it will be the mole and the real winner. Come on VH1, what do you think?

Once a Slacker....

I wanted to do this daily thing, but it doesn't always work that way. I have a couple of good post ideas so check back later!

photo credits

in the video below, the photos were taken by Rhonda Hunt. She graciously shared them with her friends and I hope she's not upset that I used them for my sample video. Rhonda, if it's not okay, I can pull the video.

This new site I read about is www.animoto.com you use your photos and their music, or your own, and create these videos. you can do 30 sec ones or full length. Like I need anything else to help me spend time on the computer. :-)

New Video

A month of posts....

I'm not a great bloggerator...I'm not even good. I logged in and was mad that my last blog wasn't here. Of course it's not here, it's over at nablopomo. DUH! anyway, my list for today is ..huh, I got nothing. I can't think of a list of anything right now. My brain is on autopilot and apparently the autopilot is not working very well.

So, I'll try to think of a good list to post tonight or tomorrow, or the next day.....or any other days in March for that matter. I'm going to also have to figure out where I'm going to blog consistently.

Oh, oh, list, list. I just thought of a list.

Blogs I check daily (Without links)
Lynn's Life
Paula's Place
Amy's blog
Grey's Anatomy Insider
Rick Springfield and US (okay, not everyday, but I do get updates as they happen so that counts right??)

So, there you go. There's my list for today. I think I'm 2 for 6. I guess I better step it up.
