Hello again all you wonderful people. Today while Season and I happened to be at Wal-Mart, getting some soon to be needed health care and pet supplies, we came across this lil dandy. THE GILETTE VENUS VIBRANCE. It's a vibrating razor, for those who didn't know. Like me, until this evening. Now call me dumb, but since when do vibrating and shaving go in the same sentence? I can see doing one AFTER the other, but at the same time? That just seems kinda scary to me. Just thought I'd share that.

WHY SO MANY LINKS?
Well that's easy...I'm bored. I've been at home for almost 2 months now (temporary lay off's suck) and being the house bitch, just isn't as cool as it was in the beginning. I spent the first week watching Sci-Fi Channel and Cartoon Network. I than spent part of the next week reading, watching anime and doing some house work. Than I decided I would get caught up on favorite blogs, and comics and catching up on my time waasting sites. So that's what I've been doing...and now I'm bored out of my freakin mind. So what do I do? I turn to the net to relieve my boredom. So I've been doing that...and when I see something that really makes me laugh, go "OMF'ingGAAAAWD" or even WOW...I link it. I know I'm in a sad state of affairs. Even cooking which has always been a joy for me, has been feeling like a burden. So there ya have it...I'm looking for crap on the info supa hi-weigh cause I got nuffin better to do.
But on the plus side...
I get to sleep with my girl. Well, when I CAN sleep. I get to see her for more than just 3-4 hours a day, which has been awesome. I talk to her when she calls me from her breaks, which still makes me feel like a teenager when that girl you likes calls you. So I guess it does even out in that way.
I guess I'n just like the petulant child, I'm happy with what I got, and unhappy with what I got. Do you think it's time for me to grow up? Oh sweet hosannah in the highest, I hope not.

KILLING TIME IN THE FIRST DEGREE
I'm still www surfing and watching the Hallmark Channel. Bedknobs and Broomsticks finished, and now A Simple Twist of Fate is on. So needless to say today is a lazy Monday. I have done nothing, except take dinner out of the freezer for dethawment. That's it. The most exciting thing I've done is find a couple of great blogs...I told you about one, well here's another one. Just read it. You'll love it. It's called Throwing Bananas at Toddlers Confessions of an Imperfect Parent. Read it already.
JUST DOING A LITTLE WWW SURFING
Wow. I was just wasting some time on here, while I wait to hear from Season. She calls during her lunch break, and we talk for a few minutes. So I decided to go blog hopping. When I do this, I usually read the first 3-4 posts. If it keeps me reading than I walk away from it. I save it in my faves folder. Than I'll walk away from the puter. Smoke a cigarette, check what's on TV, grab a diet coke and than come back to the puter. I basically try to forget what it was I was reading, and if that lil loud mouthed thing in the back of my mind tells me to go back and read more, well than I go back and read some more. Now this really doesn't happen that often...that's why I don't have many blog's linked. They really have to strike some kind of chord with me. So now that you have system as to how I link blogs I have to say this. I found this very honest, thought provoking and at times very humorous blog called Confessions from a Private Lesbian. I kept reading it, till I was up to date with it. It made me laugh, stop and think and at times I thought, that's what I would say/think/do. So here you go. Something new to read. Something new to enjoy.

HOMOGYNIST IS NOT A REAL WORD
Misogyny is an exaggerated aversion towards women. Compared with anti-woman sexism, misogyny is usually regarded as directed against women by some men, though women can also harbor misogynistic views. In feminist theory, misogyny is recognised as a political ideology similar to racism or anti-Semitism, existing to justify and reproduce the subordination of women by men. The etymology of misogyny comes from the Greek and means to hate (misein) woman (gyne).
The above was stolen with respect from http://www.reference.com/browse/wiki/Misogyny.
Well today I thought I was being very clever, when I asked Season, while shopping at WAL-MART
"If a misogynist hates women, does a homogynist, hate gay people or cows?"
See, I thought "wow I am so very clever", so being happy and smug, when we got home, I decided to look on the 'www' to see if it was a real word. It's not, but other people who are more clever than I, have used that word also, and plentifully. Now, again I used it as a funny little play on words, and I found people who actually use it. So being as anal retentive as I am, I looked up the definitions and the etymology. Low and behold, MUUUAAAH HAHAHAHAHA, I give you the results (see the first portion of this post). So than going to new levels of anal retentiveness, I looked up the word "homo" and I got this
A member of the genus Homo, which includes the extinct and extant species of humans
and
any living or extinct member of the family Hominidae [syn: man, human being, human]
So I guess technically a Homogynist would be homo=man genus=woman. It would be a man/woman. Umm...that's a good thing I believe. Unless you're gay than it would be a homohomo or a gynistgynist. Wow, I think I gynist wasted a lot of reading time with my retentivness.
So with that said, I remain a guy with way too much time to do crap like this named,
Jose

FOR THE RECORD...ACCORDING TO THE HISTORY CHANEL
The History of Valentine's DayEvery February, across the country, candy, flowers, and gifts are exchanged between loved ones, all in the name of St. Valentine. But who is this mysterious saint and why do we celebrate this holiday? The history of Valentine's Day -- and its patron saint -- is shrouded in mystery. But we do know that February has long been a month of romance. St. Valentine's Day, as we know it today, contains vestiges of both Christian and ancient Roman tradition. So, who was Saint Valentine and how did he become associated with this ancient rite? Today, the Catholic Church recognizes at least three different saints named Valentine or Valentinus, all of whom were martyred.
One legend contends that Valentine was a priest who served during the third century in Rome. When Emperor Claudius II decided that single men made better soldiers than those with wives and families, he outlawed marriage for young men -- his crop of potential soldiers. Valentine, realizing the injustice of the decree, defied Claudius and continued to perform marriages for young lovers in secret. When Valentine's actions were discovered, Claudius ordered that he be put to death.
Other stories suggest that Valentine may have been killed for attempting to help Christians escape harsh Roman prisons where they were often beaten and tortured. According to one legend, Valentine actually sent the first 'valentine' greeting himself. While in prison, it is believed that Valentine fell in love with a young girl -- who may have been his jailor's daughter -- who visited him during his confinement. Before his death, it is alleged that he wrote her a letter, which he signed 'From your Valentine,' an expression that is still in use today. Although the truth behind the Valentine legends is murky, the stories certainly emphasize his appeal as a sympathetic, heroic, and, most importantly, romantic figure. It's no surprise that by the Middle Ages, Valentine was one of the most popular saints in England and France.
The History of Valentine's DayWhile some believe that Valentine's Day is celebrated in the middle of February to commemorate the anniversary of Valentine's death or burial -- which probably occurred around 270 A.D -- others claim that the Christian church may have decided to celebrate Valentine's feast day in the middle of February in an effort to 'christianize' celebrations of the pagan Lupercalia festival. In ancient Rome, February was the official beginning of spring and was considered a time for purification. Houses were ritually cleansed by sweeping them out and then sprinkling salt and a type of wheat called spelt throughout their interiors. Lupercalia, which began at the ides of February, February 15, was a fertility festival dedicated to Faunus, the Roman god of agriculture, as well as to the Roman founders Romulus and Remus.
To begin the festival, members of the Luperci, an order of Roman priests, would gather at the sacred cave where the infants Romulus and Remus, the founders of Rome, were believed to have been cared for by a she-wolf or lupa. The priests would then sacrifice a goat, for fertility, and a dog, for purification. The History of Valentine's DayIn Great Britain, Valentine's Day began to be popularly celebrated around the seventeenth century. By the middle of the eighteenth century, it was common for friends and lovers in all social classes to exchange small tokens of affection or handwritten notes. By the end of the century, printed cards began to replace written letters due to improvements in printing technology. Ready-made cards were an easy way for people to express their emotions in a time when direct expression of one's feelings was discouraged. Cheaper postage rates also contributed to an increase in the popularity of sending Valentine's Day greetings. Americans probably began exchanging hand-made valentines in the early 1700s. In the 1840s, Esther A. Howland began to sell the first mass-produced valentines in America.
According to the Greeting Card Association, an estimated one billion valentine cards are sent each year, making Valentine's Day the second largest card-sending holiday of the year. (An estimated 2.6 billion cards are sent for Christmas.)
Approximately 85 percent of all valentines are purchased by women. In addition to the United States, Valentine's Day is celebrated in Canada, Mexico, the United Kingdom, France, and Australia. Valentine greetings were popular as far back as the Middle Ages (written Valentine's didn't begin to appear until after 1400), and the oldest known Valentine card is on display at the British Museum. The first commercial Valentine's Day greeting cards produced in the U.S. were created in the 1840s by Esther A. Howland. Howland, known as the Mother of the Valentine, made elaborate creations with real lace, ribbons and colorful pictures known as "scrap".
The boys then sliced the goat's hide into strips, dipped them in the sacrificial blood and took to the streets, gently slapping both women and fields of crops with the goathide strips. Far from being fearful, Roman women welcomed being touched with the hides because it was believed the strips would make them more fertile in the coming year. Later in the day, according to legend, all the young women in the city would place their names in a big urn. The city's bachelors would then each choose a name out of the urn and become paired for the year with his chosen woman. These matches often ended in marriage. Pope Gelasius declared February 14 St. Valentine's Day around 498 A.D. The Roman 'lottery' system for romantic pairing was deemed un-Christian and outlawed. Later, during the Middle Ages, it was commonly believed in France and England that February 14 was the beginning of birds' mating season, which added to the idea that the middle of February -- Valentine's Day -- should be a day for romance. The oldest known valentine still in existence today was a poem written by Charles, Duke of Orleans to his wife while he was imprisoned in the Tower of London following his capture at the Battle of Agincourt. The greeting, which was written in 1415, is part of the manuscript collection of the British Library in London, England. Several years later, it is believed that King Henry V hired a writer named John Lydgate to compose a valentine note to Catherine of Valois.

IT'S SATURDAY AND IT'S ALL RIGHT
For Fosters and Pall Mall Light 100's (although it's my last 100, and I'll be smoking Kings, because they were cheaper). It's been an a domesticated 2 days for me. Cleaning, laundry and cooking is what I have done. Now it's time for me to blog away. Season is sleeping, and I couldn't. So I decided to have a solo man outing. Which means I was reading comics, blogs and porn. Oh by the hand of Jesus saves, because he clips coupons, I have blogged. I've comiced. I porned. Damn it's good to be the kings...3rd cousin from my mothers side 4 times removed. Yeah, this is one of my waste of words kind of moment, but I hope you enjoy the rut out of it anyway. You know it has been an ok week this time. Not great, but not a suck's worse than a dirt devil kind of week. Season is now an official employee of her work place, insteat of being a temp. My ass is still on a layoff. We watched all of Firefly, along with DOOM (which was an awright flick), Mirrormask (which was stunning and beautiful), the Island (which was fun...although to me it felt like it had shades of Logan's Run) and Amy's O (which is a DRAMA/COMEDY about relationships and how they are percieved). Now don't get me wrong...we aint perfect...but we keep trying. The 2 of us. Working through everything. Dealing with everything. Trying to a better whole, than just a couple of ok parts. I guess I just had to say that.
So with all that said...meaning I said nothing at all..I still remain
Jose
Yay Ruttin me.

IT'S 3 AM I MUST BE...SLEEPY?
Oh good lord...I am on the last 2 loads of laundry...you know having only 1 washer/dryer, really is a way to waste the entire day. Thank the goddess, I had movies to occupy my time. Because after I finish washing/drying the last 2 loads, I than got to put all the clothes away. Which won't be so bad, cause I don't fold a damn thing. Another moment of praise for the dieties that someone follows, that I have a lot of closet space. So why does laundry actually take up 2 posts? Because very simply, I had a lot of laundry to do. So now that I'm on the last lap, I can now start on the next thing on my list. The kitchen. I already started some of it. Trying to let the dishpan hands go away. OMG. I'm becoming domesticated. I really need to get a life.
Be back in a few.

REVIEW OF THE DUKES OF HAZZARD (Unrated Widescreen Edition)
I feel so ashamed. I feel dirty. I wasted 107 minutes. I actually watched this movie. And by the grace of God's wicked sense of humor, I actually found myself laughing not only outloud, but also cheering for the damn Dukes. This movie may not have been an overly accurate remake of the TV series, but it did capture the spirit of the original. Of course it helps that it was directed by the same cat Jay Chandrasekhar who directed Super Troopers. which is frikken HIGH-LAR-EEEE-YUS. Let me simply say this. You had to have seen the original series to appreciate the subtle and overly obvious jabs and parodies. Now being a fan of the original series, albeit I was also 7 thru 13 years old and that's my excuse, I did enjoy the movie. But at the same time I can see why people who didn't see the originals or like the original, wouldn't like it. And that's cool. Like I said;

NOT IN THE MOOD, SORRY
Well I guess that says it all. You see for the last week or so I've been absolutely lazy. I haven't been in the mood to post, so I pretty much put up some of my "back up" things, you know those dumb things we keep that we enventually share. Well I finally did. So there you have it. I'll be back a lil later. I actually have some things to talk about. Right now I'm in the middle of laundry. Be back.
