celeb-reality

anyone that knows me knows how I feel about celebrity..
and anyone that doesn't is about to get an earful.
I have never liked the word "fan" a fan is that swirly thing in the living room that cools you off.. it is derived from a word that has some negative connotations to it.. therefore.. I don't like it. I am many things.. fanatical I am not..
I do, however know some fanatics.. and they scare me..
Just recently we were having a discussion with a person who had ripped on a particular singer, because that person, that night, was too busy to sign an autograph, and made the mistake of telling the autograph seeker so.
You would have though the world had come crashing down around her..
In further discussions it's pretty obvious that the person has some issues.. but that is something else entirely. There are people who travel the country to follow this person, they wait outside after the show, and when that person doesn't meet their expectations, they go into a public forum and bash them.
not cool
so not cool.
See, they have good days and bad days just like us, put their pants on just like we do and dare I say have spent a night or two hurling after a bit too much to drink..
So why do some people put these people up on a pedestal and hold them to some higher regard then say your next door neighbor? It is a need.. some need to feel a part of something, a need to be connected, a need to be validated.. In further discussions, this person made the comment that unless this celebrity really knew her personaly the changes of said celebrity caring about her situation were pretty slim...
then there was some weird analogy about well I have bad days too but that doesn't give me the right to shoot my neighbor.. which I find incredibly insane..
Below is my response in this discussion..


Let me ask you this.. Say ____ does meet you, find out about whatever situation you are talking about and you don't get the response that you expect? what then?
I will say it again.. it's about your expectations How do you expect her to respond?
What is it about _____knowing about your situation would change the outcome of it, or make it better or worse.. She's just a human being.. she can't fix your life..Only you can do that.. and from what I am reading that is what your expectation is.. somehow if you can only meet her and tell her about what is going on with you, she will make it all better..
I'm not out to make light of whatever it is that you are going through, but instead of trying to change everyones mind, perhaps opening yours and realizing that though the power of music is an incredible thing, the people that make it have no super powers.
Hero worship is an empty thing..
I'm not even going to comment on the shooting analogy cause it is just bizarre.. but I would have to agree with ____ and say that maybe you should re-examine the priorities and why this is so important to your life..
It ain't healthy..



Now.. many of you reading this know who I am talking about (and no, it is not rosie o'donnell in case you were wondering.. I did say singer.. even though she can carry a mean show tune..it's not her).

I've had many discussions with many of the same people who just don't get how truly fanatical they are.. One woman drove around a small country town for 5 hours trying to find a person's house.. why? They had no reasonable answer, but scoffed at the idea that it was somehow wrong.. it is STALKING for god sakes.. or borders on it..
to what end was this quest? to be the one to say.. I did this.. I found it.. I have some grand knowledge of this person that you don't have..
I mean I don't know about you.. but I fear a garden gnome would have gone missing.. and photos of it all across the globe would have become a website.. ( though I don't even know if this person has garden gnomes.. so I digress..)
But seriously.. what is it that makes people think that somehow.. if they could only meet the celebrity of their dreams, it would make their lives all better?
No one could EVER live up to that expectation.. ever..
and it is very sad for the person who is doing their job.. when you buy a concert ticket.. you are paying for the concert, and the atmosphere of possibly meeting like minded people, you do not however, have the right to ask said musician to come by your house after the show and paint your living room.. cause after all.. you purchase their CD's and go to see them in concert and without you they are nothing.. blah blah blah... to have to be out there in the public eye.. to have to turn away people for whatever reason.. because people don't respect their boundaries..
I suppose it's one thing to ask for an autograph or a photo, at an appropriate time.. it's quite another to ask them to lay hands on you and heal your every hurt.
Every artist I have ever known, be it actor, musician, writer etc.. have all had their own demons that they have had to work through.. and people forget that..
Now, don't get me wrong.. I'm not saying that there aren't some celebrities out there that I don't think are just absolutely fabulous (queen latifah, if you are ever in the neighborhood :)
It's about respect.. respecting boundaries, knowing when and when not to approach someone.. and just being compassionate.. If you run into angelina jolie buying tampons and chocolate at ralphs, chances are it's just not a good time.. :)
just remember we are all in this together.. and we are all human.. we all stumble we all make big and little mistakes.. and think about how you felt if you ever felt that you would never live up to the expectations your parents had for you.. and multiply that by about a billion and there you have your lindsay lohans, charlie sheens and P. Diddy's of the world..

my favorite analogy in the conversation was about people waiting outside for the artists to come out to the bus.. they would travel around to show after show and wait outside the bus for a chance again.. (we are talking LIFERS here!) to meet these people..someone summed it up quite nicely.. it's like if you went to mcdonalds and bought some fries.. and wanted an autograph or your picture taken with the fry cook.. and you waited around outside the mcdonalds until it closed... dontcha think someone woulda called the cops! you get the idea....

just be respectful people.. that's all I'm saying.. and realize BEFORE you cross that line...

for the love of a bulldozer

welcome to my little (ahem) big project!
imagine if you will this entire lot covered (and I mean covered. overgrown really) in ivy.. lots of ivy!
a few days ago, we hired a bulldozer guy to doze the front yard.. when we bough the house, it was already overgrown.. neglected by renters for years.. we tried to do some things to it (you can't see it in the photo, but we have a rockin hosta garden in the left corner by the mailbox.. So now that the yard is clear, we will begin terracing the yard.. I will post pictures occasionally so you can see the progress.. it should be interesting! I can't wait! I'm working with some landscaping softwareat the moment that is very cool..
so join me on this gardening extravaganza! it should be fun!

arms length emotions

For the past 29 hours or so, a man has been perched atop a crane in the middle of buckhead.. threatening to jump.. Businesses are shut down.. roads are closed.. and there he sits.. now by crane I am talking one of those big ole construction cranes that they hoist on top of a building to build skyscraper-esque buildings..
standard routine.. lookie loos from below yelling for the guy to jump..
oh.. did I mention he's an alleged murderer?
From what I've heard, he killed a woman in florida and fled here.. went up to the construction crew, told them he had already committed one crime and to get out of his way.. and up the crane he went..

I am mesmerized..

Part of me says.. hey if he wants to end it.. let him.. but another part of me knows that the family of the woman he allegedly killed will have no closure of justice..
this afternoon I thought.. maybe they could shoot him with a tranquilizer dart when he is on the platform part of the crane.. this brought back memories of the bear.. perhaps you have seen it.. a bear climbs up a telephone pole.. they tranq him and he hits the transformer, falling to the ground in a shower of sparks... the bear wasn't hurt.. cept for maybe his pride....
He has that part of the city completely shut down.. businesses are losing so much money because people can't get there.. traffic is a nightmare.. How long can they possibly keep everyone at a standstill like this??
In this job I have had for well over a decade, I have learned to keep my emotions at arms length.. If I got really upset over every news story I have heard, I would be bouncing off a rubber wall locked in a room somewhere.. so we may seem cold or callous about things, but well.. that's how we do it.. There are those stories that just can't help but get to you.. but a guy on a crane isn't it.
some people say that those of us who cover the news have a twisted sense of humor.. I would have to agree.. and I think that it comes from seeing so much bad stuff and having to process it the best way we can..
So now we wait.. we wait for him to come down.. or fall down..
and we wait for the runaway bride to turn herself in.. all this and a three day weekend coming... I can't wait..
Now I am going to load the new landscaping software that I got and see if I can make my yard look spectacular.. my yard was overgrown with english ivy, it had been neglected well before we bought the place, but since I hadn't been able to do all that much, it kinda stayed that way.. two days ago we hired a bulldozer to come in and tear it all out! It's a completely different yard from what we thought it was.. we are definitely going to have some erosion issues.. but we are planning to terrace it out so that it looks cool and can actually be a functional yard.
here goes.....

American Idol

I love me some Bo Bice....
that being said.. I had picked Carrie when we first saw her audition..
The reason I think she won..
Marketablity.....
Now.. don't get me wrong.. Bo is talented.. Bo ROCKS!
But.. the style of music he is made for.. good old fashioned kick ass rock and roll..is dead.. or in need of CPR..
think about it..
Lynrd Skynrd.. molly hatchett.. the allman brothers.. Doobie Brothers.. hell Aerosmith is the only real rock and roll band other than the Stones who are still even around.. and they only play them on top 40 cause they've been around so long..
the kind of music Bo is built for just isn't on top 40 radio.. I'm sure he will have a great career.. but Carrie is more marketable.. period
Country radio is more popular than it has ever been. former idol contestant and marine Josh Gracin has a booming country career..
Country music is just where it's at right now..
top 40 is slowly dying Rock is now"classic rock"
and that's why I listen to CD's and talk radio
I love my classic rock..
I even like country..
and I suspect that the AI producers will steer carrie in a more faith hill like direction.. good for country radio and playable on top 40 (or as they call it in the biz.. adult contemporary)
I would love to know what the numbers were, since every online poll had Bo winning by a landslide.. but kudos to carrie.. she has a great voice.. and she's a cutie..
and Bo.. well.. I'll be more than happy to put his upcoming CD in rotation in the truck.. He will not go silently into the night.. and good on him for sticking to his genre and going all the way to the top 2..

Honor among the Dead

Tonight I felt the warmth of my grandfather and great grandfather and all of his sons shining down. 67 years past due, the city of Lewiston finally recognized them for the work that they did in the city. They presented a proclamation honoring the family and gave it to my 93 year old aunt. The only surviving member of that generation of the family. Others were in attendance, daughters, granddaughters, cousins etc..I am proud to be a Malo.. I am proud of my Franco-American Heritage, and I am thrilled that I was able to make this happen.



Below is the text of the proclamation..

Office of the Mayor
CITY OF LEWISTON, MAINE



Proclamation

WHEREAS: On Sunday, May 22, 2005, Saints Peter and Paul Church, an exquisite historical structure within the City of Lewiston, will be inaugurated as a basilica, joining only 49 other churches of that distinction within the United States; and

WHEREAS: Basilicas are chosen by the Vatican for their historical importance, artistic value, and quality of liturgical prayer and service to the community; and

WHEREAS: Louis P. Malo, highly esteemed contractor of Saints Peter & Paul, was educated in Lewiston’s parochial schools, worked in the mills, and then in 1886 began learning the trades of carpentry and brick & stone masonry; and

WHEREAS: In 1912, he started his own construction business with sons Felix, Alfred, Maurice, Emile, Lucien, and Louis P. with the office located at 101 East Avenue; and

WHEREAS: From 1912 – 1938, Louis P. Malo was the general contractor for some of the largest business buildings, residences, churches, and schools in Lewiston-Auburn, as well as in other cities throughout Maine, to include Holy Cross School and St. Mary’s Church in Lewiston, St. Mary’s Church in Augusta, St. Louis School in Auburn, and the Arts & Sciences Annex at the University of Maine in Orono; and

WHEREAS: Malo & Sons’ most prominent work was Saints Peter & Paul Church, which was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983. Not only did Malo & Sons serve as contractor & stone masons, they also donated the stained-glass window above the altar in the Upper Church with the wording “Famille Louis Malo.” The window serves as a testimony to the many sons and cousins of the Malo family who took part in the church’s construction; and

WHEREAS: To ensure the building of the church, Franco-Americans donated nickels and dimes during the Depression, with construction on the Upper church beginning in 1934 and completed in 1938; and

WHEREAS, NOW, THEREFORE: I, Lionel C. Guay, Jr., Mayor of the City of Lewiston, by virtue of the authority vested in me, do hereby proclaim the date of the basilica inauguration, May 22, 2005, as Basilica Recognition & Louis P. Malo Day within the City of Lewiston. Mr. Malo missed the dedication of this beautiful structure, but we take this opportunity to celebrate him upon this very prestigious occasion for Saints Peter & Paul Church.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand
and caused the Seal of the City of Lewiston, Maine, to be
affixed this 17th day of May, 2005.

special assistance........ aka the lowes story

welcome friends and neighbors!
I haven't quite gotten my ire up enough to write about that stooopid law initiative in Alabama.. but don't fret.. I will..
in place of that today I offer up the following fare.. Some of us were having a pseudo discussion about how perhaps people in our lives don't like being mentioned in our blogs.. I can understand that.. I try to only use initials, so that the guilty will know who they are.. but aren't readily identifiable..
So in the interest of letting everyone know that I am not beyond the embarrassing story.. I give you.. THE LOWES STORY...
some of you have heard it.. it may not transfer well.. but here goes...
after a debilitating back injury I began pain management treatments with a local doc.. every so often, they would change the meds so that my body didn't get too used to one for an extended period of time.. After a visit and med change, I decided to wait until the weekend to try it out.. since sometimes they make me sleepy..
So, bright and early saturday I took them.. waited a while.. and felt ok.. so off to Lowes we went.. now anyone that knows me knows that lowes is my favorite place to shop besides target.. As we get to the store.. I start feeling a little.. silly..
goofy really.. we wandered through the store.. everything was "pretty" in that kinda have a buzz going on kinda way.. we ended up with a cartful of new flowers for my garden.. Butter at this point I think realized that I should probably lie down.. so we headed off to the registers.. as she was checking out.. I wandered over to the magazine rack to look at all of the "pretty" pictures.. I was pretty gorked out at this point.. she called me over and I did the meds shuffle over to the register.. as I was standing there waiting for her to finish up.. I heard one of the lowes employees over the loudspeaker say "special assistance is needed in plumbing" .
Now in my state, in my head, I thought for some reason that this was the most hysterical thing I had ever heard. so in my head I started saying it..
and then it happened..
as I was saying "special assistance is needed in plumbing" over and over again in my head.. for some reason.. I changed the words..
"SPECIAL ASSISTANCE IS NEEDED IN MY PANTS!"
from the fog in which I was mired, I heard butter scream BABY!!!
yup.. you guessed it..
it was my "out loud voice"
you know.. the one that everyone around you can hear? The woman at the register apparently didn't hear me but heard butter shout.. so she asked "what did she say"?
and I was fully prepared and just about to blurt it out again.. and fortunately.. she stopped me.
now.. you gotta understand.. there was no reason for me to say it.. my pants were fine.. thank you very much.. but in my warped little head.. it was funny..
and if you knew me you would also understand that as much of a cut-up as I am, it's not something that I woulf generally say.. out loud.. in front of well.. other people..
It remains to this day, a most embarrasing.. and quite funny little story..
every once in a while I will just say it just for fun.
So, in that, not afraid to tell stories about my own self.. there ya go..
never go shopping at lowes on new medication. :)
And after a fabulous interaction with my neurosurgeon back in september, I am happy to report that the back problem has been fixed, and I am well on the way to recovery.. I'll be shopping for new flowers for the garden again real soon!

The L word and my mom is addicted to bingo


P1220127
Originally uploaded by atlbiscuit.

ahh.. you thought I was going to write about this week's episode.. well.. that will be in a moment..
in the meantime, we spent the weekend at the lake with my wife's parents.. had a lovely time.. be mesmerized by the view of sunset...
happy post mother's day to you all .. hope you had a lot of "L" in yours..
I was able to talk to my biological mother last night for a bit, but have been unable to get a hold of my mom as she has been playing bingo for days..
I really think she needs an intervention.. but it's her social time, so I guess it's all good.. I gave the woman a cell phone last year for christmas so that I could get in touch and she would have something with her in all her late night driving.. (sometimes she doesn't get home till 2 in the morning) but will she put the thing in her purse? NO! it's on the counter.. fully charged and unused.. I'm gonna call her in a bit and hopefully she will be up.

now.. on with the show.. (possible spoilers ahead.. read at your own risk!)

What is up with the L word? the two episodes before this were more like filler episodes, and this week's just left me scratching my head.
Did Ilene Chaiken go on some sort of spiritual journey that we are now forced to watched through the character of jenny? Hey, I'm as big on a having a spiritual journey as anyone, but is this really entertaining? No one has been more vocal about their displeasure with this show than I have been in the past, but the storytelling this season has been so much better, the plot lines have been a little tighter, but then jenny took this left turn.. she was actually likeable, to a degree, and well I suppose having cameras in your house can wig you out a little.. but I am just at a loss on this one.. from the preview it looks like she has begun cutting, which I don't remember seeing on television much before, but she is on a one way road to self destruct and I am wondering if she too will go the way of marina.
I thought the scenes between bette and tina were quite touching.. Bette being vulnerable may acutally be the thing that leads her back to Tina, where she belongs.. though the previews for next week scare me a little.. they better not mess with Tina or the baby.. ooh that would just tick me off..
the whole dealing with the death of Kit and Bette's father was interesting.. I find it odd that the man is actually encouraging his straight daughter to break up a family if it means her own happiness, but he cannot for the life of him give any credit to his gay daughter for being happy (well somewhat before now) in her relationship with a woman.. I sincerely believe that breaking up a family is a much worse offense in the book of life than loving another woman (or man) but hey.. that's just me.. I am so happy that they dedicated the episode to Ozzie Davis, we were all in tears at the end, and I felt it was sort of weird foreshadowing and quite sad that probably one of the last roles he had, he played out his own death. sad..
We have a guess as to the big secret.. when bette was showing her father the photos his housekeeper had sent, there was one photo that bette didn't recognize. later kit made a comment that after he left bette's mother and fell in love with hers, he fell in love with someone after that as well..
we are thinking that perhaps bette and kit have a sibling that they aren't aware of.. we could be wrong.. but
that's what we think.. and kit's son may show up next week as well.. Kit was huggin a guy we had never seen before.. which is what started our "Matlock-in"
Alice..alice.. alice.. take a pill.. you are waaay too nervous.. you are going to drive dana away.. Dana's comment about coming out sooner wasn't great to make in front of your current GF to your ex.. but if alice truly had a problem with them having dinner she really shoulda said something..
Shane.. comb that hair!!! hehe..
Overall this episode was better than the last 2, and I feel that Tina is finally seeing the true helena, and is not really happy with things.. I just want helena to go away... don't like her.. never will..

Later, I will be bloggin about alabama trying to pass a law to get any book, movie or work that has any mention of gay people tossed out of the library and off shelves everywhere.. I really have to get my composure together for this one and I am not quite there yet.. but stay tuned....
peace out and have a happy day!

Judy Ann

Last night after a long evening of even more runaway bride coverage, I headed over to the pool room to meet my wife and some friends who shoot in a pool league on thursdays..
On my way into the place, a woman stopped me.
"ma'am, Lord would you please help a woman down on her luck?"
"sure", I said, "what do you need?"
"oh if you could just get me something to eat?
"ok", I asked, "what would you like?"
"oh I don't know what they have in there."
"How bout a burger?" I asked, her eyes lit up at the thought. "or maybe some chicken?" she asked..
"Sure, whatever you would like" I said to her..
She told me her name was Judy Ann and that someone had stolen her purse, she was able to get a hotel room, and was going to her bank in the morning to see if she could get some money out of her account. She had come up to Atlanta from Jacksonville for mother's day. We made small talk and we went up to the ordering area, she decided on the King burger.. I asked if she would like anything to drink with her meal, "oh, um maybe a beer?" she timidly asked me.. she looked to be in her 50's so I wasn't too worried about buying a beer for her...
We sat down and waited for her food to come, she told me she liked her beer, and she liked her weed too.
I excused myself for a moment to go and let the others know that I was there and that I would join them shortly, as Judy had asked for her meal to go, and drank her beer while she was waiting. My wife came over to meet her and we chatted for a bit, my wife went back over to our friends as Judy ann and I waited for her food.
After the food arrived, she continued to drink her beer, and then invited me back to her hotel room, I thanked her for the offer, but explained that I needed to go to work in the morning, and I had to let my dog out. She gave me a big hug and was going to go to the bathroom and head back to the hotel. I gave her some money and wished her well. She thanked me again..and we parted ways..
The pool hall is a very large room, the part we were in was well away from the bathroom and I couldn't even see the area from where we were, so I was more than a little surprised when Judy Ann approached us a while later, to again ask if I was going back to her hotel with her, and that I could bring my wife.. I again declined, but thanked her for the offer.
She had, apparently been sitting over on the other side of the room, ordering more beer and shots and getting pretty lit.
I felt bad for her, it was obvious she just wanted some company, I invited her to join our group but she didn't want to. She wandered back over to where she had been before.. the bartender then came over to me and told me that she had been asking people all around the bar for drugs..
She came back one more time, to offer the hotel once more, and asked how to get out of the bar, it's a glass fronted building so it's kind of hard to see where the doors are.. I offered to walk her out, and my wife and I walked her to the door.
She hugged me again and then wandered off into the night.. with quite the buzz..
My wife could tell that the interaction upset me and so she explained to me that even if the woman was a drug addict, it was obvious that she needed something, whether it was food, or company or whatever, and that I helped her as best I could..
And that if the bar owners had had a problem with her being there they would have asked her to leave, but "T" the bartender was ok with it, and so I shouldn't be worried..
I've wondered all day today where Judy Ann ended up.. whatever part of her story was true, I hope that she gets home to see her mother this weekend..
I'm off to see my mother-out-law...
may you all have a wonderful weekend with the ones you love..

GOOD NEWS!!

just got a text that mama C has been upgraded and they may move her to a regular room later today.. Baby E is doing great!
thanks for all of the prayers..
they are appreciated..
breathing a big sigh of relief!

Buses, Lesbians and Steaks, oh my~!


my new toy!~
Originally uploaded by atlbiscuit.

wow.. what a long monday!

I spent a most fabulous evening with my boo! I got a new toy this weekend... a chef's prep table for my kitchen! :) I am so damned excited I can't stand it!
She had tried to get me one for christmas, but couldn't find one that she thought would be tall enough.. so on a jaunt out to Sam's club to get a present for a friend, I saw it.. the light shown from above and the angels sang.. and behold.. (see photo)

I know it's nothing spectacular... but it's the little things.. I love to cook and have no counter space.. I had a butcher block.. but I had to kinda hunch over it and it would hurt my back..
anyyyyyyway..

I watched the most wonderful movie last night.. It apparently is based on the life of the alum of a friend of mine..
"Riding the bus with my sister" is the title.. Of course it was quite the buzz cause it was rosie o'donnell's return to television.. and WHAT a return it was!
I was teary the first few minutes of the movie, and then in the hospital scene I was a complete bawl ass! She gave the most gripping performance of someone in the absolute throes of grief and fear and really complex painful emotions.. That scene alone should win her an Emmy Award.. I could actually feel the desperation.. powerful..
truly powerful..
excellent movie.. if you didn't get a chance to see it, do. I don't wanna go into too much detail and ruin it for ya..
So we had made an evening out of it..I used my new toy to prep dinner.. steaks, grilled shrimp, asparagus and potatoes.. yummy! smoked the steaks with a bit of oak.. ohh it was really good.. had a nice bit of wine with dinner.. settled in for the movie, followed by our weekly "L word" viewing..
to me, these past two shows almost seemed like filler shows.. I could have missed both of them and still been ok.
Jenny was doing so well.. and now she's being a freak again.. what was with the wolf eating the cutout of her mother (or father I couldn't tell)
weird.. every time she gets some sort of redeeming qualities, she does something bizzare?
was she kidnapped by carnival workers and sold into the sex slave industry?
is she afraid of carnies? (the carnival workers, not the wilson sister!)
I know or at least I hope they will tie it all together.. but in the meantime.. ENOUGH of thre flashbacks!
on to Bette's sick father.. I'm so confused.. he tells Kit to go after her man, even though he is married with children, as long as it makes her happy, but he won't acknowledge bette and tina's relationship? huh? what's the lord gonna say when they open up the book of life and see that one?
when he called the nurse to come in and close the curtain on B&T, I am so sorry but I would have spun around and snatched it out of her hand and we would have been having a chat right then and there.. time is ticking..
Please make helena go away.. please??
I tire of her.. a lot..
There are only two episodes left.. not sure how they are going to explain things, but time is ticking there too!
I can't wait to see how it goes!
More Runaway Bride stuff.. meetings all day today to figure out what to do about her..
I feel bad.. I've been listening to all kinds of news reports and it seems like everyone has turned on this woman.. don't get me wrong, she should have to pay the city back for the money they spent looking for her.. definitely.. however, she made a huge error in judgement.. hell she may have even planned to take off, but yes, she could have handled it better.. that is clear.. but several days ago when people were saying that they hoped to god that it was just that she had cold feet, now seem to have forgotten that sentiment..
The whole situation is just bizarre..
and yet the fiancee still wants to marry her.. sticking by her.. I suppose this is the "for better for worse" part.
