The brilliant thoughts of overworked minds

You stupid, stupid woman...

Ok, so I thought I was done with this mess. I ooohed and aahed over their wedding. I watched all three seasons of Newlyweds. I watched the break-down. I bought all the magazines that were trying their best to help Americans cope with the loss of their favoriate golden couple of the moment. Then I gave up on them.

But then this Rolling Stones article came out... here's the quote that got me:

"I'd marry her all over again," he says softly. "Because I still love her. It would be a lot easier to walk away if I didn't."

Is he stupid? I don't think so. Poor man is in love with a girl that didn't know what she wanted.

Is she stupid? Yes. Look at this man. He is a work of art. And he can sing.

Ok, so you don't buy into the sappiness? Well then read the Rolling Stones article for the comedic factor-- it's hysterical! The things they call Jessica are so terrible!

"The alimony ripple aside, Lachey has enjoyed a predominantly bruise-free ride down the tabloid shit chute, while his ex-wife has alternately been portrayed as a silly girl who made a huge mistake in letting him go and as an unbridled ho-cake dancing on banquettes and bedding random co-stars."

Does anyone else sense Newlyweds: The Reunion.... ??

If his album is good though, I'm gonna give it a shot. Good for you Nick :)

"I read somewhere somebody was saying, 'Oh, he's capitalizing on his failed marriage to sell records,' " Lachey says. "That really pisses me off. Like I wouldn't rather be singing about how great love is? About my newborn son and shit like that? Give me a fucking break. I don't get to choose where my life goes. What do you want me to sing about?"

Military Families

This week's article focuses on military families. I figured that I would blog the first paragraph and then post the link if you wanted to read the rest!

"I do not have any children of my own, but I do have a 6-year-old cousin named Mary Beth who I am very close to.

My grandma went to pick up Mary Beth from school the week after I left for my mobilization to Iraq and saw that she looked physically ill. Grandma asked her what was wrong and whether she felt sick. Mary Beth replied that she had been sick all day long, so Grandma proceeded to ask her if she was sick to her stomach or had a fever.

Then Mary Beth said, "No, Grandma, I'm sad sick. Leebo is leaving and I'm going to miss him."

Well, I found out that on the same day Mary Beth was sick at school, my dad had called in sick to work.

He told my mom that he had just been feeling a little under the weather, but I think both he and my mom knew he was actually just a little "sad sick."

As Easter approaches, it is important to keep in mind the families of deployed military personnel. "

Meet Julia and Val...

Wow... could this picture look anything less like me and Lee?!? I look like the Asian version of Julia Louis-Dreyfus and Lee looks like Val Kilmer in Top Gun.

We got this beauty drawn at 6 Flags this week. Went on a Monday afternoon-- no lines, lots of sunshine, new rollercoasters... it was great! Got to ride most of the rides about several times in a row. Now on some level you do miss out on the whole experience of standing in line and anticipating the ride. But all I know if I got to ride the Batman ride three times in a row and that sucker normally averages a wait time of 1 and 1/2 hours in the summer!

So as most of you know, Lee has "officially" been deployed. He is at Camp Shelby in Mississippi getting his final training before heading to Kuwait in June and then Iraq in July. He's on lockdown though, so no one is able to actually see him even though we can still talk to him on his cell phone. Thanks for everyone's concern, but I'm doing ok so far and not in danger of drowning my sorrows in large amounts of tequila. The key is keeping busy with my work and hopefully the next 2 years should go by fairly quickly.

During his time in Iraq, Lee is going to be writing a weekly article for the Daily Mississippian (a paper published by the students at Ole Miss and then distributed daily around Mississippi). It's basically gonna be his personal account of what it's like to be a student going to war. The links for the first two articles are here: #1 Dealing with going to war and #2- Difference in military ranks.

Lee has joined the My Space craze, and that's usually a pretty good way to reach him.

So basically, we're doing good, life goes on, and we got to meet Batman. He was so hot-- or at least his jaw was really hot, and isn't that all that really matters when you're Batman? The suit does the rest for you :)

April Fool's to you!

Fact of the Day: April Fools' Day

There are several explanations for the origin of April Fools' Day, but here is the most plausible one. April 1st was once New Year's Day in France. In 1582, Pope Gregory declared the adoption of his Gregorian calendar to replace the Julian calendar and New Year's Day was officially changed to January 1st. It took awhile for everyone in France to hear the news of this major change and others obstinately refused to accept the new calendar, so a lot of people continued to celebrate New Year's Day on the first of April - earning them the name "April fools." The April fools were subjected to ridicule and practical jokes and the tradition was born. The butts of these pranks were first called poisson d'avril or "April fish" because a young naive fish is easily caught. A common practice was to hook a paper fish on the back of someone as a joke. This evolved over time and a custom of prank-playing continues on the first day of April.
