So all last week VH1 was running the 100 greatest 1 hit wonders of the 80s thingy and some of them made me feel nostalgic, obviously because that's the point of these shows right? Anyways this song came on
And it made me remember how much I used to like this song when I was a wee lil lass. Also while watching the show I realized that it was such a fun time in music. Everyhting that happened back then, happened back then. Everyone now is just trying to replicate what happened then. Like people poop bricks over Lady Gaga but she is not doing anything original or different to me. Sure in this day and age as in this year it has not been done before, but its been done before, know what I mean!? Its just songs like these that are just so well put together and are original thoughts and ideas. It makes me wonder it anyone will be able to bring anything truly different and original to the table.

Fat Babies Unite!
According to one of those magical studies that tend to pop up every once in a while 1 in 5 4 yr olds are fatties. When broken down in racial categories the highest amount of obesity is natve american's with 31%. My first thought was 'are there even 31% of native american's around'. Then in my way of thinking I tried to come up with a theory as too why so many children are obese early. Me im a fat woman, I hate to say fat cause that's so degrading, Im too fly for the term 'fat' but I also dont like the word 'big' so ill go the myspace route and say 'more to love'. Anyways growing up I was a 'chunky' kid but I was not obese. Back when I was younger in the late 80s early 90s the kids had this thing called 'playing outside'. In this process of 'playing outside' children would play 'games' such as 'hide and seek' or 'red light green light' or 'hide in the bushes with the boy from downstairs' or my personal fav 'flash your underwear on the upstairs terrace to the boys downstairs then get a beating from your dad when he finds you doing that' ah yeah that was a great game. So the point im getting at is at the age of 4 your bouncing off the walls and your asking your parents questions and your getting on their nerves, so what do they do. They plop you in front of the television and give you something to eat to shut you up. At least that's my theory. I mean its sad when nickelodeon takes off broadcasting for a day and tell kids to take part in this activity known as 'playing outside', what a concept. Playing while a kid is THE best part of being a kid and sometimes parents are a)to self involved b) too lazy and dont want to be bothered or c) too busy. Me im all 3 which is why I wont have children. But i must realize that this is not the late 80s early 90s anymore, its a different time and maybe parents dont feel safe with their kids just running around. I dont know how childhood obesity can be diverted. I dont have the answer. Obviously.
And im done.
Afterthought: Maybe fat kids being the majority would work at school and all the fat kids gang up on all the skinny kids! Now that didnt happen in the 90s son.

What's going on in Raddy
So Radford University my alma mater has made national headlines for what may be the first time ever for such an undesirable event. There was a fatal shooting near the campus and let me tell you the city is the campus, yeah its that small. So because of this Radford did the right thing and shut everything down. As of 2:55am the shut down was lifted and the campus was deemed secure. The conclusion is the shooter and the victim were not students and it was not a 'random act of violence'. Rumors are it was a drug deal gone wrong, I believe it. I am thankful that all the students are safe and the RU police jumped into action right away, good for them. Hopefully they catch this person before the parties tonight, cause its a friday in Radford, its going down.

Remember me!?
So I had a couple of days off to get my tooth pulled. If you know me, you KNOW i was completely freaked out by it and not looking forward to it at all. I got prescribed valuim the day before which I think it helped me out, I didnt care what was going to happen. Like my brain thought about it but my anxiety was not kicked up by my thoughts which I guess is the purpose of valium. I was fine with everything until I sat down in the waiting room to be called back, then I started freaking out a bit. I started tearing up and my mom started to laugh at me and I said in a whiny fashion 'its not funny' and she continued to laugh and they called me back. So I started breathing really heavy and took a walk similar to those prisoners take before they are lethally injected. So I sat down in the dentist chair and they had to get an xray of the tooth that needed to be extracted. Because it is the farthest tooth in the back it took some shoving and head cocking (dirty) to get the xray right. In hindsight this was prolly the most painful part of the whole thing, shoving a camera in my mouth. So after that the dental assistant gave me some numbing gel, then came the needles. At this point all I could do was close my eyes and squeeze my hands to death and breath slowly. It wasnt that bad actually, its no different than when the dentist pricks you with you know the thingy with the hook on it. So about 3 mins later the right side of my mouth was numb and it was time to get to work. It did not take long at all, but it was very disturbing hearing my tooth being yanked from my skull but it didnt hurt at all, freaky. So before i knew it, it was all over, and it was not that bad, but anyone left alone with their thoughts can make the worst out of anyhthing. So I had wednesday and thursday off and Im back at work today cause i need some hours on that check know what im saying. Im like really happy right now. I dont know if its because this whole ordeal is over or its the medication im on, or its the fact im going to radford next week to see my favorite people. I say its all the above, whatever this feeling is I dont want it to go away, it feels nice.
