Dang, people. This is totally gonna be old school!
First, Mamakat asked for an old school song that makes us happy. For some reason, "Tha Crossroads" by Bone Thugs N Harmony was the first thing that came to my mind. I'm not a big rap fan, but this song was probably just an old school icon for me (1995, yo).
Why does it make me happy when it has gangsters and people dying?
Well, I suppose because the theme I get from it is HOPE.
And hope helps chase away despair and sadness. Right?
So watch the cool VEVO and then scroll down for some Old School Blogging - courtesy of Elaine and Brittany!

I couldn't see the video here -- will just play Ice Ice Baby in my head while I reply. LOL
ReplyDeleteYour toddler is the cutest -- I love that so tired flat on back arms over head pose. that's my middle daughter. as soon as her eyes open she starts moving ...and talking!!... and doesn't stop either all day until her body finally drops from exhaustion. And that is a hard fought battle in of itself.
We share the same like: LOVE rootbeer floats!! cannot believe my children won't drink them with me.
And the same fear: I used to be practically terrified to drive. slowly got over it, but I still get nervous.
I always say I am going to do this Old School Blogging thing.....and then I completely forget about it. I've had the draft saved several times......but somehow my brain doesn't get to it.
I don't do this on my blog cuz I'm just not too much about me, I guess, so I'll do it on yours...especially the first one, cuz something funny happened just this morning...
ReplyDeleteWhere is your cell phone? The only reason I have one is cuz work must call sometimes. I took my phone, mifi, and listening device, and being helpful brought my wife's phone downstairs, and stuck all of them in my backpack, and then left for work with her phone in my bag...:)
Your significant other? I'm unworthy of my significant other. Really.
Your hair? just cut Monday, so not much of it. I get skinned every two weeks!

Your dream last night? I went to Mass today, and no priest showed up, so I presided.

Thanks for letting me know about the video. Will try to fix it now.
ReplyDeleteANd Yay for rootbeer floats! We ought to have that along with coffee someday when me meet in RL. Yes?
And old school blogging - great for days when I have no idea what to write about! LOL
That's weird. I tried the video on Chrome, FireFox, and IE...and they all worked.
ReplyDeleteMaybe check your Flash Player plugin on your browser? Need an update? Or were you watching on your phone?
Let me know. Thanks!
So....did she look for her cell phone all day? LOL
ReplyDeleteAnd it's weird hearing "old" people (your mom at 85) have boy/girlfriends. But anywho, I hope she's happy. ;)
Dying before a significant other is one of my fears too.
Hey! I watch Fox news too! On Roku, we watch the shows that were aired later that day. We only have time at night to watch, so it's not so bad - we get all the good stuff without commercials and still get to keep up with current events. I like Fox news and the way they've been covering all this Obamacare stuff...
Wow. 4 tvs? That used to be my family in high school. Living room, my room, my brother's, and my parent's.
I'm sorry you're missing your dad - but I'm sure he knows how you feel now, wherever he is.
Organize. I need to that with my pantry!
Thanks for playing along, David!
I actually caught myself, but still too late, I was on the nonstop bus to the city when I found out. I called her at home before she started looking.
ReplyDeleteI don't particularly like hearing about her boyfriend, but I get it. She wants a companion, like my grandmother had after her husband died. They never married, were chaste by all accounts, but he was like my sub grandfather.
The living room TV seldom gets used, except for big sporting events or company, or when I work out with my Wii Fit. There's another in the office that seldom gets used. So really it's dining room and bedroom. The TV in the bedroom is 3D and has internet connection-you can watch YouTube on it, but it has little memory, so it's choppy.
Sometimes even Fox News is depressing. I'm glad they're covering politics honestly. I know there's a lot not being said on the networks and CNN.
I know he knows, but I regret not letting him know when he was here...
If you came in my house, you wouldn't know it's disorganized. Everything that's not organized is behind a closet door, in 1/2 the garage or our shed.
The pictures of your kids are adorable... I especially love the one of your toddler napping. I wish I could sleep that relaxed and peaceful! :-) Thanks for sharing a glimpse into your life today!
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean. I wish I could sleep like that too. (And thanks for stopping by!)
ReplyDeleteSuch cute pics of your little guy!
ReplyDeleteI'm usually too tired to have a dream too.
Thanks so much for linking up!!
Thanks for hosting! It was fun! ;-)
ReplyDeleteMeet ya at the crossroads! Yes, totally brings me back to 8th grade. I definitely jammed to that one!
ReplyDeleteOh yay! I wasn't the only girl to like that song? ;)
