Ike Ike baby...what??!!!

Okay I'm sitting in a basic yet innovated space known as bird rock coffee roasters. (which happens to be one of my favorite coffee house of all time, chuck is the man!) It has huge glass garage style doors that roll back to open shop, and allows the ocean breeze to come in and mix with the yummy smells of freshly roasted coffee. Amazing. I'm sipping on an enormous yet delicious organic cappuccino and I received this email from a friend. While reading it, my first reaction was to smile, laugh and look over my shoulder to see if i was being watched, which i wasn't. Moving on i began to read over the familiar song with different lyrics. I chuckle, a little out loud, a little on the inside. I thought if these people could read my mind they would realize what a big cheese ball I am. I don't know why a thing of this dorkish nature would make my heart happy but they do.

Now its your turn to gauge for yourself the level of brilliance that went into this diddy, but to give you a heads up to what you are in for, here you go...

Enjoy!

 

Ike Ike Baby, Ike Ike Baby

All right stop, evacuate and listen
Ike is here with some big ambition
People, close your homes up tightly
It's blowing like a hurricane daily and nightly

Where will it stop? Yo-I don' t know
Turn off the light s and let's go
To the coast line Ike rocks like a vandal
Start up the car and watch me drive like an animal

Dang, hardware store sales boom
Ike's killing my plans like a poiso nous mushr oom
Deadly, evacuate they tell me

Anyone left will becharged with a felony
Love it or hate it, you better get away
Ike will hit the bull' s eye, the storm don' t play
If you're on vacation, Yo, Ike stalled it
Check out the eye while the bands revolve it

Hurricane Ike Ike Baby, Hurricane Ike Ike Baby
Hurricane Ike Ike Baby, Hurricane Ike Ike Baby

Now that the people are jumpin'
With their stuff packe d up and the gas done pumpin'
Quick to the road, to the road no fakin '
Pass McD's get a burger with bacon

Burnin' 'em and follow the symbol
I go crazy when I hear some imbecile
Revving, in a souped up Pinto
Now I can roll, it's time to crack the window

Rollin' in my Chevy Tahoe
With my window down, I can feel Ike blow
My laptop's on stand by, Waiting for some Wi- fi
This spot hot? No – and I gotta fly

Kept on pursuing to the next block
I busted a left and I'm beating the clock
The light was red

Yo -- so I continued to I-37 to San Antonio

Wish I was there in a blink like a jeanie
How I'd love to be sippi n' a martini
Jealous ' cause my girl' s living fine <> She left yesterday and was there by nine

Ready to give my homies a call
My homies acting ill because their car just stalled
Humidity, the air is sticky as hell
Ike's on his way, the weatherman yells

Moving toward the gulf coast real fast
I'm in my car, can't give it no gas
Bumper to bumper the interstate 's packed

I'm trying to get away before Ike attacks
Police on the scene , what can it mean?

They hooked me up, now there 's another lane free
If you're on vacation, Yo, Ike stall ed it
Check out the eye while the bands revolve it

Hurricane Ike Ike Baby, Hurricane Ike Ike Baby
Hurricane Ike Ike Baby, Hurricane Ike Ike Baby

Yo man, let' s get out of here! Word to your mother!

if you feel somewhat nostalgic here you go...

Quirky McQuirkerson

I've come to the realization that I have some quirks in my 28 years of living.
let us begin...
1. I like michael bolton. (the musician not the actor, stop judging me)

2. Can't stand personalize license plates. (My bff has one, so obviously you can still be my friend, i just won't date you.)
3. Guys with jewelry... eww. (watch and wedding ring excluded)
4. I don't like chocolate, yes i still am a girl.
5. Pickles & BBQ sauce or popcorn & bbq sauce & mustard (don't knock it till you try it)
6. When eating out... modifications are what i live for, or at least everything on the side.
7. I like dad figures. i like guys who aren't too fit or skinny. think vince vaughn.

Hey I'm not the only one. Here's a few of my friends quirks, i'm leaving out their names to protect the innocent.

• loves minivans over suburbans
• loves guys in speedos
• loves guys in nerd glasses
• loves to vacuum
• loves any teeny bopper show (its a quirk when you're over 35 and a male ;)

 Let the quirky fun begin.

Weird or not Weird that is the question...

I was on facebook...(surprise surprise) and I was chatting with my best friend Kathy.

Kathy Mary Kelley, i.e.pure virgin warrior.

We started talking about our life and how nothing new is happening, wondering where life is headed for us, & where we are all going.

I'm like "Kathy, why is life so weird (also defined as strange)? She responds with, "why is it so hard to rest in the things already given us". I responded, "I know , I know"...wait for it wait for it... "I KNOW". By the third I know I actually began to know. By know I mean that i finally understood what kathy was saying. God has not only blessed us with so many amazing things, but he also has already given us everything we need for now and for things to come. Yet I still find myself finding it weird.

Problem was I did't have the right perspective. I'm hello, I survived Ike, heartache and life with out my credit card for 3 days. I'm still breathing, my heart is semi-broken, and in 3 days my credit card arose, its time to rest. Rest in the fact that God is for me, in me and with me. So even though my ceiling fell in from dumb ike... I'm gonna rest. Even when I'm out of Red Vines... i'm gonna rest. No matter what comes my way...I'm gonna rest.

Ok I'm exhausted from all this resting.

I'm gonna appreciate this journey called life even if things aren't going my way. I'm going to rest in life even if it spins me into insanity. So, all that to say, my world may be weird but at least i have friends like Kathy to make it go round. Weird lives rule. Ask Kathy.
