Ramblings of Silver Blue

LIfe’s good, at least fo rme. So I’m not gong to complain. I don’t feel I have a right to.

Saffyre. (Saffy for short.) I did the unthinkable and traded in Kosheen (my 2001 Pontiac Grand Am). What did I get? A 2002 Acura 3.2TL Type S (hey, it only had 38,000 miles on it!) While I know that Kosheen has served me well, she had 64K miles on her, and still has much life [...]

…it was 3 years ago today that Jen interviewed me. You Asked, SilverBlue Answers John of SilverBlue has answered your questions! Music, blogging, and Roxette Bunny…plus much more! You cannot resist. You must click it! Just how darn big IS that house of yours? It sounds castle-ish. Well, it’s just a 1,600 sq. ft. dutch [...]

I’ve noticed how a great number of people are dropping off the Blogdar. Maybe it’s just this time of year that sends people underground. That would certainly explain the smell, at least. Don’t Zombies, at least part of the time, reside underground? But I digress. People get busy, people get bored, and the blogdom suffers. [...]

…in my head. I know that not everyone gets along with everyone else on this planet. That’s why there are arguments, war, divorce, and the Jerry Springer show. The thing is to not dwell on them so that you don’t go crazy. Myself, I’ve got a number of people that I’d love to choke the [...]

Get in the holiday spirit. (Click to experience in RealAudio)

What kind of day? The kind I’d like to forget. I’ve been turning and burning since I got in. No time to stop and think; no time to make sure I’m doing everything right. Just have to get it all done. Unfortunately, the exhaustion has kicked in, and so I’m not going to see Survivor [...]

The hardest thing for me to do is NOT tell people what I think. You see. I’m of the firm belief that everyone is entitled to MY opinion. Most of the time, I don’t mind telling it. But there have been a few incidents recently where…let’s just say I’ve kept my mouth shut because it [...]

How you do you relieve stress? Massage? Drink? Chocolate? Let me know. I need some suggestions.

Thanks to the reader who wrote in saying they saw me Monday night on a rebroadcast of “Garden of Evil” (Forensic Files, CourtTV). PR’s sister saw the same repeat. Nice to know I’m somewhat infamous. Know anyone who likes Belgian Chocolates? I’m trying to lose weight and was given a 435g package of the same. [...]

Or did everyone just forget to pack their brains today? I swear (often, and loudly) that today must be Jour D’idiot.

Lots to do. Plus haircut, cantata practice, solo song rehearsal, yada yada yada. Have I said that I’ll be glad when it’s all over? I have? Good. Let me reiterate. I’ll be glad when it’s all over. After 3 years of being the narrator for various shows, I’m thinking it may be time for me [...]

We all become obsessed with things; God knows when I purchased my Digital Camera, my Rolex, or when I started (and continued) writing my book. Does that make me a bad person? No. Does that mean I’ve lost direction? Nope. Asked for too much? Forgotten my place in the grander scheme of things? Not on [...]

Title from “Darkness” by Darren Hayes It doesn’t really matter where it all began Lotsa things happened today; had the Doc’s appointment where I was basically told there was nothing they could do since I’m not currently exhibiting symptoms that I was formerly complaining of. Had a pot luck today. Let’s be honest. Some people [...]

Do you take the easy way out and give gift cards/certficates and/or Cash? 4. Do you prefer to shop at megamarts [...]

Apple Computer reported today that it has developed computer chips that can store and play music inside women’s breasts. This is considered to be a major breakthrough because women frequently complain about men staring at their breasts and not listening to them. Groans are directed at Moonglow for this one.

Welcome to the almost tweaked template which will serve as Ramblings of Silver Blue, V5.0. Yes, you can cut and paste now. Yes, my big head is no longer on the screen. Yes, the comment window works correctly, though I think all comments are numbered 1. I’ll chalk that up to you all being special.

I know she’s had a lot on her mind, losing her Grandfather far too soon. But just in case she does drop by and read the blog, I want her to know that I smile every time the Woolite POD commercial comes on. I SWEAR her darling Maddie wrote the script, especially the Squeeze, Rub, [...]

PMUCC’s Kid’s Choir did “Twas The Night Before Christmas” and it was cute. Don’t take my word for it. See some photos.

Other than sticking a sock in their mouth? Options, people. I’m looking for options.

I’m working on changing the template (yet again). As such, I’ve still got to get the colours right on this one, but… the big news is that…you can highlight, cut and paste again, as well as using the blog header to get back to the main page.

From CNN: SEATAC, Washington (AP) — All nine Christmas trees have been removed from the Seattle-Tacoma International Airport instead of adding a giant Jewish menorah to the holiday display as a rabbi had requested. Maintenance workers boxed up the trees during the graveyard shift early Saturday, when airport bosses believed few people would notice. “We [...]

You You You are still a whisper on my lips A feeling at my fingertips That’s pulling at my skin You leave me when I’m at my worst Feeling as if I’ve been cursed Bitter cold within Days go by and still I think of you Days when I couldn’t live my life without you [...]

Keyed Up’s father’s funeral was today. I’ve had it to here (points to neck) with funerals, even though this one was a celebration of life and not manufactured grief. As such, I’ve been on the road for more than five hours today. My butt is numb. I’ve heard of an interment, but this was the [...]
