So Sad!!

RIP Patrick Swayze! The summer I was 19 it was all you and Dirty Dancing!

One of the best Patrick Swayze movies you may not know? 11:14. See it!

The CLASSLESS Bleepity Bleep

Well, I hope his career now goes down in flames. Are they going to learn to never invite him to a live award show again? Prolly not. They like the publicity I'm sure.

I am not writing or speaking this artists name again - as that is exactly what this person wants.

How totally classless to hijack a young woman's dream moment (well, at least one of them)! Taylor Swift was so adorable accepting her first Moonman statue at the VMA's for her fab video "You Belong With Me" and then the Bleepity Bleep comes on to announce that it is Beyonce who has "one of the best video's of all time."

Really? Really? Of all time? I like "Single Ladies (Put a Ring On It)" and find the dancing somewhat mesmerizing, but of all time? I don't think so! Not even enough to justify the rude interruption.

At least they had the sense to boot his sorry A...butt outta there.

And then Bleepity Bleep has the gall to basically compare it to his winning and giving his award to Outkast. Uh, NO! If it was similar then someone woulda interrupted your acceptance speech and said that someone else's video was better. He didn't even give her the chance to do that if she would have wanted to!!

For me, too little, too late with your apology Bleepity Bleep. But I'm sure Taylor is much more gracious than I am and will forgive him.

Here's Taylor's video performance from the VMA's last night - the new video for "You Belong With Me."





Here's the video that Bleepity Bleep indirectly dished!




I wanted to add Beyonce's "All the Single Ladies" video's but the embedding code has been "disabled by request" on You Tube, so you'll just have to go to You Tube to check it out yourself.

I like the video and the song, I just don't see how 3 lovely ladies dancing around is "one of the best videos of all time."

The 8th Anniversary

Here's one of the many interesting items that went around right after 9/11.

I'm a bit of a numerology buff and found this pretty fascinating.

UNITED WE STAND

1) New York City has 11 letters
2) Afghanistan has 11 letters.
3) Ramsin Yuseb (The terrorist who threatened to destroy the Twin Towers in 1993) has 11 letters.
4) George W Bush has 11 letters.
5) The two twin towers make an "11"

This could be a mere coincidence, but this gets more interesting:

1) The first plane crashing against the Twin Towers was flight number11.
2) Flight 11 was carrying 92 passengers.
9 + 2 = 11
3) Flight 77 which also hit Twin Towers, was carrying 65 passengers.
6+5 = 11
4) The tragedy was on September 11, or 9/11 as it is now known.
9 + 1+ 1 = 11
5) The date is equal to the US emergency services telephone number 911.
9 + 1 + 1 = 11.

Sheer coincidence..?! Read on and make up your own mind:

1) The total number of victims inside all the hi-jacked planes was 254. 2 + 5 + 4 = 11.
2) September 11 is day number 254 of the calendar year. Again 2 + 5 + 4 = 11.
3) The Madrid bombing took place on 3/11/2004. 3 + 1 + 1 + 2 + 4 = 11.
4) The tragedy of Madrid happened 911 days after the Twin Towers incident.

"Cowboy Casanova"

Carrie Underwood's new song if FANTASTIC!!!! OMG - I am listening to it over and over and over! Uptempo fun dance number! This chick has it soooooooooo going on! I bet it debut's at number 25, at least, and rockets to number one!!

::calm down a moment::

OK - the reason we have the new song to listen to now is 'cuz some jerk released an unfinished version online so Carrie and her peeps decided that they would release the official version. ::sticks out tongue at jerk::

The album "Play On" comes out November 3rd. I couldn't wait before!! Now I really can't wait!!

You can hear it on her webite: http://www.carrieunderwoodoffical.com/.

Here's the video.

Christmas!!!

I know it's been cold ~ but I still hate to do this ~ but it is that time of year!

Christmas Music! I know, I know ~ you don't want to think about it. But it's the time of year when the CD's start hitting the store, and I have to tell you about it.

October 6th ~ That's the day Toby Keith's new CD, "American Ride" is coming out (they moved it up a week), but it's also the day that we get our first Sugarland Christmas CD!

I thought it was a Packer CD at first 'cuz it's called "Green and Gold." So you can see why I would make that mistake ~ especially since it's coming out on October 6th! heehee

"Green And Gold" will have ten songs on it, five holiday standards and five tunes written by our fav duo Jennifer Nettles and Kristian Bush.

Buying the album also allows you access to special downloads.

"Green And Gold"
1. "City Of Silver Dreams"
2. "Winter Wonderland"
3. "Holly Jolly Christmas"
4. "Coming Home"
5. "Gold And Green"
6. "Maybe Baby (New Year's Day)"
7. "Nuttin' For Christmas"
