Hobo Ghosts (I will be offensive, just warning you)

The title will make sense later on in the post I swear!
I would first like to thank Leslie for giving me the fodder to fuel this fire. She told me the other day that she doesn't believe in ghosts. She has good reason, I'm not going to go into it, it's her story to share. I on the other hand have had 'weird' things happen to me that lead me to believe that there are ghosts. Now aliens, I can't wrap my head around aliens but ghosts, yeah I get that. (ha)
I haven't had a ton of 'paranormal experiences' just one or two. Once when I was sleeping I heard someone say my name and then blow in my face. I uhm haven't been able to sleep towards the edge of the bed since. When I lived with my uncle in his creepy apartment I swear I had something on my bed every night with me. And then after I moved out and then went back to visit, I woke up worried about my mom because of a dream and felt a hand caress my face.  It didn't freak me out, it actually calmed me down.
Leslie and I have decided that I'm a freak and she's awesome about this whole situation. Leading me to talk about all of the awesome ghost hunting shows on television. I will not be discussing Ghost Whisperer or Medium because they're not "reality" shows. Plus I really like Ghost Whisperer because she wears really fancy clothes all the time and some how in that small town people still don't know that she can talk to ghosts.

So did you know there there are at least 8 shows that I can find that are regular shows about Ghost Hunting or Paranormal research of some sort. This is awesome to me. I love ghost hunting shows because they think that it's really scary to the viewer but honestly it's not. Because everything happens off screen. I can say though when I first started watching Ghost Hunters I really liked it because they did catch things on camera. But then it spiraled out of control. Here's my list and here's what I think about them.

Ghost Hunters:

Okay the only thing that they seem to catch lately is spider and bats. There's a guy on there that is more afraid of spiders and flying then he is of "spirits." And really do they have to explain what all their equipment is EVERY show? I think I know what a flashlight is for fellas, thanks. And they don't actually help the people in my opinion. They just say "yeah it's haunted" or "it's all in your mind." And then they're gone. And I can't stand most of the "characters" on the show. My favorite line so far is "Well should I start provoking the spirits?" "Dude, these people have had a hard enough life, if they don't want to come out and talk with us....they don't ... have to." Pure gold. I wish I could get audio of it or a video clip.  Which leads me to...





Ghost Hunters International:

Okay take the two most annoying people from your cast and give them their own show. Awesome idea! Yeah sure you're rid of them, but we still have to listen to them. I think that it is a good idea to check out England and the rest of "The Old World" and it has a lot of history and with that possible hauntings but no actual video evidence or very little. Just a bunch more "what was that?!" moments. I say "LAME!"


Paranormal State:
I like these guys because unlike GH if there is an actual haunting they don't just say "yup it's haunted, see ya later!" They do ritual cleansing which might work might not, BUT it makes the victim feel better about their house. If I thought my house was haunted I would want it "cleansed" before they left. They do get a lot of video evidence of people being possessed but then you have to ask yourself if it's all an act or not.

Destination Truth:

Is awesome. I love how over the top they are with their maps and explanations. It makes the show. No matter that when they were looking for a killer dog in Egypt and all they came up with was a fox. But I do give them kudos for going into Chernobyl and checking that out. That was pretty impressive.





A Haunting isn't so much a ghost hunting as it is ghost stories. The re-creations are awesome and it always gives me chills. But it seems a little over the top at times.



Ghost Adventures:



is where it spins a little out of control. The guys are WAY over-the-top and too into seeing things and provoking spirits. Which doesn't really lead to anything. Their night vision always just ends up making them creepy. I watched one episode and it was mostly "dudes! and what was that?!" And my favorite was "I just felt something on my leg! Dude! Wanna check it out!!" And he had scratches!! AHHHH!!




And then it all goes wrong with Extreme Ghost Hunters(which I couldn't find a picture for). Holy lord, who gave three rednecks HD cameras with night vision?!? Seriously oh and they're not always in the dark in those places like other shows because you can clearly see all the camera lights. They do rituals that they tell you not to try at home and try to scare you with awesome graphics between cuts. It's bad. Favorite line: "Dudes I've never hunted ghosts on water. I don't know anyone who HAS!!"

Then it gets worse. Last night I found Ghost Lab on the Discovery Channel. Really Mike Rowe? How many shows can you narrate for?! I've recorded it for further study but so far, not so scary, not any ghosts popping up.

So with all these ghost hunting shows on now I want to get into the mix. So here's my pitch.
An all woman group of ghost hunters. And they could all wear pink! Because that's what women do when they get their own shows.
Leslie and I were talking about this the other day. And she told me that if I had a ghost hunting show she would dress as a hobo ghost and jump out at me at every house that I investigated. And I thought how awesome would that be?! The audience would be at first thinking "why is that hobo ghost sippin' on Night Train." And then she would jump up yelling "HOBO GHOST!" and I would say "Oooh Leslie!!" And then from then on every episode the audience would wonder when the hobo ghost would appear.
I have yet another pitch... Little People Ghost Hunters. I'm waiting for E! to get that one. They don't have a show about little people or ghosts yet....I'm emailing them today. (not really)

Two for Wednesday

So I have to do another post today for missing yesterday. And I need to update everyone on situations that I have previously written about.
I went in and had my interview with Wal-Mart and it went good, I was offered a job and will be a part-time temporary employee for up to 120 days. Which will be nice and help us while I'm working on getting done with my Medical Transcription. Which I am happy to say that I've gotten an assignment done, Monday! And waiting for them to get it back to me to re-do because I have to get 80% or better and there were many words that didn't make sense and I couldn't find on any data-base. And if it were in real life I'd be able to go up to the doctor and say "What the heck were you saying?!" So I'm not too worried. I have made my mind up to just not worry about it and get it done and get it in. What is really making me mad though is all the "practice assignments" other then the one that I have to turn in are all under 3 minutes long. BUT the assingment that I have to turn in is 6 minutes long! Thanks! Because it takes longer then 6 minutes to type out because well I'm fast, but not that fast!
So anyway! Sorry for the tangent. I went in yesterday and took my drug test, which I would hope I pass since I haven't done any drugs in years! So I'm pretty much just waiting for the phone call now after they run my stellar background. They're paying me $9.55 an hour which is more then what I made the last time I worked which is nice! And will help, at even 20 hours a week. It will definatly help out our money situation. As long as Jesse continues working.

So there's that.

My dad update. My mom had posted a status update on facebook saying this:

Okay so Mike starts a new thing for the multiple myeloma, it is a thylidomide derivitive called revlimid. The clinic in Bend called, well their financial planner called, not a good sign and not especially if you are a real positive personality like my Mikie. So I have been told to drive the piss out of the new car 'cause it is going back. So who wants to see me? Sign up now!!

So this worried me, so I called to ask what the heck was going on. They found out that dad's meds would cost him. $5,000 a pill. A PILL. And he has to take them once a day! For at least 3 weeks!! Oh and my dad has been on partial disability now for a year because his work has gone down since his first round with his cancer. So he's on Medicare, and Medicare being AWESOME won't, that's right WON'T cover the medication because it is a chemotherapy. Sooo now they're waiting on what my mom's insurance will cover and whatever that won't cover they are trying to get on different programs to help with the payment. My dad needs this so his bones will stop dissolving. This is his life. So I don't want to hear anymore from people saying we don't need health care reform. My mom and dad have health care. My mom pays half her pay check a month to her health insurance. So why doesn't it help them?!?! It makes me sick.

So there you have it. Questions, comments? Good!

Things I love. The short list.

I do a lot of "things that annoy me" so I figured I better take my mom's approach and try to be more positive. Yeah, yeah, pat me on the back, go ahead you know you want to!

• The number one thing I love is my family. No not Jesse and Oscar family, wait, yes I love them. But I'm talking about my family that I grew up with. They're always ALWAYS there for me. No matter what, we're all so different yet all so much a like. I couldn't live with out any of them in my life.

• I love the faces that Oscar makes. I wish I had a good camera to take all the face pictures of him I can. Here's a couple: 

I don't really know if he's showing me his boobs or what.

One day I was bored, and I drew on his face.

That's his "cheese" face. Right before he tells me to stop and go away.

This one he does a lot lately. It's not the best version of it but you get the idea.

• My friends, they rank right up there with my family. Like my family they're pretty much there for anything. And even though I haven't keep up with all of them I know if something happened that was important they would all be there for me.

• Reading. I could read all day every day. I think this one of my big reasons why I love blogs so much. I like to read everything and anything. Suggest something, send me a book, whatever I'll try it. I have a good imagination and usually a book for me is better then a movie any day.

• The ocean. I really would love to live by the ocean one day. That's a big dream of mine. I love the sounds and smells of the ocean. 

• I do love to scrapbook but I have to do it in spurts because my creativity is very short lived. And now that I don't have enough room I don't know how much I'll be able to do. 

• I have loved all animals since the time I was little, I even held field mice and garden snakes when I was younger. I have always LOVED cheetahs. And I don't think I've put pictures of my tattoo of my cheetah up on this blog so here's a couple pictures. The cheetah is an old tattoo I got it when I was 22 I believe, and it is "photo real" so that's why its light, oh and because my skin sucks in ink like crazy. The rest of it just got done last year in September. It's already faded and not quite finished yet. We didn't have the money to finish it. 
  

So there's my list, well what I can think of at the moment.

Stolen Idea...

Okay so I was wondering around through twitter and landed on a blogger http://onesmarmymama.blogspot.com and read her blog and liked it and she had a post about her celebrity crushes. And I'm SURE this has been done before but I hadn't seen it yet. So I asked her if I could steal the idea because I need more ideas for postings. And before I let her answer I did it.

Here is my top 5 celebrity crushes...we'll start with male because I likes the mens. And maybe I'll move on to women because there are a couple out there that I would switch teams for...

1. Justin Timberlake. Not only is he ADORABLE he's hilarious to boot. I love SNL when he's on. He's seriously a comedic genious and probably one of their best hosts.

2. Jason Statham. Okay I loved him since Lock, Stock, and Two Smoking Barrels. And then I loved him even more when I saw the muscles. mmm I might be drooling a bit.

3. Denzel Washington-Dudes. I LOVE Denzel. I would marry Denzel. I would walk away from my life as it is right now for Denzel. 

 

4. Chris Farley. Just to show that I'm not completely shallow. I will admit to liking the big boys. Chris Farley is my hands down all time favorite comedian. I honestly cried when I found out he died. I wanted to meet him and tell him I loved him so bad. I swear to god.

5. Ryan Reynolds ahh the pretty boy toy. His abs, I could live in the ridges. *shudders*

So I know this list is mostly very stereotypical but hey I think I am pretty shallow so deal with it! And I made it two posts in a row!

Wow!!

The Only Blogger that Didn't Post about Halloween

That's right.
I honestly don't have much to talk about so I don't really know why I'm posting. It's kinda like my twitter today. "I've got nothin'. Just tweeting because I like to annoy"
So lets see...
I am not a huge fan of Halloween. I never liked going trick-or-treating as a kid because I hated going door-to-door for anything. I was a terrible Girl Scout because of this too. I don't like knocking, or cold calling or selling of anything. I also had a hard time dressing up for some reason. Except for Wonder Woman but that was because I thought I was Wonder Woman.
Thankfully this didn't leak onto Oscar who LOVES trick-or-treating. And seemed to always want to get into people's houses. Oh it was a lot of fun saying "NO! You can't go in!" The nice thing is that we went with the old neighbors and the boys were really good at introducing him to every person they met.
OH MY GOD I CAN'T DO THIS!
I don't really know what I want to blog about but it's not Halloween. I really want to blog about things that annoy me like the way my boyfriend eats. Or people that say the word Hubby. I hate that word. That is my number one reason that I'm never getting married because I know for sure that someone will ask me "how's your hubby" and I will have to punch them in the face.
I also would like to say that Ghost Hunting shows really annoy me. Especially Ghost Adventures. I want to yell at the guy to just "Shut up already!" And if I were a ghost I would scratch at him too. It doesn't quiet him down though. They even made fun of him on The Soup. Which was hilarious, and not so much of a stretch.
I also hate that my Mozilla has this "Getting started button right above the tabs for my other pages so every so often when I try to go back to my first tab I hit the "Getting Started" button and it takes my page to something else. I hate that.

Okay I think I'm calmed down enough to continue on. Or go in another direction.

Switching Directions NOW.

I the other week got tired of our situation with money and got tired of Jesse not wanting to tell me how much his paycheck was and a whole bunch of other things that were bugging me about him and said money situation. I went on line and while on the phone with a friend applied to work at the dreaded Wal-Mart because well there's no where else here that I could think of that would hire me quickly. So they called me in for an interview and well I pretty much kicked ass and took names. So today they're checking my "references" which consists of two people. One of my best friends and a former co-worker/friend. My friend called and said they asked her "Does she have violent tendencies?" and I said "You better have lied because I'll cut you!" hahahaaaa. And so you're pretty much reading a blog by a person who's soon to be employed by the devil.
This might manifest into a blog about my awesome working experience. And oh my mother has high hopes. She is of the mind that I will be owning my own Wal-Mart soon. I had to break it to her that this is a temporary stop gap to help with our finances until I can get a job transcribing.
Or I could be running my own Wal-Mart one day....
