The Aristocrats

Damn - that was hell of a movie. I knew i wanted to see it the minute I read about it in my parents copy of Entertainment Weekly. You know the one - The 7 Best Documentaries You Don't Want To Miss This Year. I think Tom fuckin Cruise was on the cover or something. Well, if my memory serves me correctly there was that documentary about penguins marching and also one about wheelchair chicks playing competetive sports but reading about this Aristocrat thingy well that was something else. A documentary (yes my favorite movie format) about not only comedians but about comedians telling an "inside-joke" with ABSOLUTELY no boundaries. Your telling me (or maybe it's the other way around) that there are no lines to cross in this movie because the lines have been BLOWN TO BITS! Yes, my friends, it was all that and more. The only thing better than laughing my ass off at the ridiculously vulgar & scatological humor was watching those that couldn't handle it walk out of the theater in pure disgust. I hope they were able to find the cleansing holy water they were seeking. I think my friend Matt (world famous ISTJ) said it best with "it really was medicinal to my soul". So you can keep your You've Got Mail's and War of the Worlds (Fuckin Cruise Man ) - Me and mine will stick to some good ole Incest-rich, blood and beastiality describing, Carlins' "7 words you cant say on TV and then some" infused movie-fun.

The anti-christ stikes again (or Now I've gone and done it)

Tonite as I was cleaning up in the kitchen - I accidently threw away a stray ice cream tub top that was left lying on the counter. As a result, he (being the anti-christ) grabbed the children's chicken and broccoli out of hands and yelled, "Would you like it if i threw this away?" - I wonder if that was suppossed to be a rhetorical question? Later, I came up and asked him (yup a.c.) if he was still giving the kids a bath - I was met with silence. I possibly asked another question and was met with more of the same. So, I guess i've really gone and done it now - a crime that no amount of begging and pleading (ha- like that would happen) will erase - a crime that is irreperable with the possible exception of some saran wrap and a rubber band. Maybe i'll be lucky and the next 14 days of this marital co-existence will end in complete silence. It will be fun dividing the remaining furniture and signing this damn separation agreement without speaking.

My shalom-bayit is so close i can taste it baby!!!!

ENFP

Had this great idea for a post about being a world famous ENFP but then my brother had to go and tell me, "nanny nanny boo-boo it's already been done" Now let me tell you that my response to him was in fact quite profound, if i do say so myself, which was "Soooooo"!!! No actually it was ,"Im not trying to invent the wheel here fella (my brother loves it when i call him fella) plus while Im sure there is a blog out there about someone being a world famous ENFP Im pretty damn positive that there is not in fact a blog out there written by someone else about ME being a world famous ENFP - so stick that in your nanny nanny boo boo and smoke it!!!

Ok so Im this ENFP the Myers-Briggs equivalent of a charming, addictive-personality, beginner not ender of tasks, interupting sort, story gathering & telling, disorganized, "woo-woo", advice giving, emotional, bleeding heart, sappy, ADHD riddled, witty, run-on sentence writing , sort of chick. It might not be the fucking equivalent of the "wheel" but i'd say i just wrote a damn good blog!

Get a life

A few months ago my kids Kindergarten(it's not an actual garden folks) teacher tells me what I need to do is get a life. It was an offhanded social remark made in an attempt to be supportive to my situation at the time. SHE does not remember saying it. I may remember it forever if Im lucky. Hot damn I think i've got a life now - the kind she was referring too. The kind that actually involves fun, meeting new people, taking chances, making choices and does not involve being a caretaker to anyone other than myself. Of course when Im working or being a mommy I do the caretaking thing constantly. I take it seriously. The comment Leah made was probably in reference to some caretaking advice I was esposing at the moment. Im good at advice. In the past few weeks I've given less advice, had quite a few moments where my job, my marriage, my kids were not at the forefront of my mind and not a topic of conversation at all. I believe the comment had more to do with balance than anything - that and what any one person at any one time constitutes to be "a life". All I know is that now i've got one - I'd be hard pressed to give it it up. Hot damn!!!!
