ROCK N ROLL FRIDAY meme: John Lennon

Bud Hosts: John Lennon
Hi! I'm Bud Weiser, sitting in for my girlfriend DJ Kathy A today. Welcome to Rock 'n Roll Fridays. We are like other memes in that we will ask you thirteen questions each and every Friday. But our little "twist" is that each week we will pick a singer, band, era or category and pick thirteen of their songs. Each of our questions will be based on the lyrics.
Today we picked John Lennon.

Just gimme some truth"
What is one undeniable truth in your life?
Death and Taxes...

2. Instant Karma “Why in the world are we here? Surely not to live in pain and fear Why on Earth are you there

Oh no, I didn't want to hurt you I'm just a jealous guy”
Tell us about a time when you were jealous.
I loved the styling makeovers they did on the AI contestants. I wish I had a make up artist make me over.

5. Mind Games “We're playing those mind games together
Pushing the barriers planting seeds Playing the mind guerrilla
Chanting the Mantra peace on earth”
When was the last time someone played mind games with you?
My siblings and I are going thru my fathers things and making plans for the funeral, which is turning into a 3 ring circus. There are mind games all around right now...

What's your favorite possession?
Bud.

7. Working Class Hero “They hurt you at home and they hit you at school They hate you if you're clever and they despise a fool
Till you're so crazy you can't follow their rules A working class hero is something to be A working class hero is something to be”
How did you get along in high school?
I was sort of popular in my Junior and Senior years, but only with a certain crowd of band kids and glee people.

8. I'm Stepping Out “Gotta, gotta, gotta, gotta get out
I'm stepping out, babe Just a while Ain't been out for days”
When was the last time you went out on the town? What did you do?
Re-created my first meeting with Bud at Max's for a nice dinner and then sitting at the same outdoor table (brrr!) we talked at when we met. I wore my new red shoes. :-)

9. Steel and Glass “Well, your mouthpiece squawks as he spreads your lies But you can't pull strings if your hands are tied, hey, hey”
Who was the last person who spread lies about you?
Ironically, it was my father...I was going thru his notes and found an open letter to one of his elderly friends that he never sent and he white-lied about his children in it. I was startled.

10. God “God is a concept By which we measure Our pain”
How do you conceive “god”?
Immaculate conception?

11. I'm Losing You “Here in some stranger's room,
Late in the afternoon, What am I doing here at all?”

No, I tend to leave them first, then find another partner.

12. Whatever Gets You Through the Night “Whatever gets you through your life 'salright, 'salright Do it wrong or do it right 'salright, 'salright
Don't need a watch to waste your time oh no, oh no”
What gets you through the night?
Lately, Xanax. I never take drugs, but the funeral planning and handling the contents of an 89 year old house keeps me wide awake.

Banisters and canisters, bishops and fishops Rabbis and pop eyes, bye bye, bye byes”

The skies were eerily quiet from the air ban.

SATURDAY 9 meme: ST PATRICK'S DAY

Saturday 9: St. Patrick's Day

 
1. St. Patrick's Day is March 17th (Thursday). Do you celebrate and wear green? Drink Green Beer? Ignore it?
I always wear green or green and orange on St Patty's Day. I ignore the fact that it is a celebration of a saint who drove the witches and pagan religeons out of Ireland...it just pisses me off. I do not go out at night on St Pats' tho, as I worry about drunk drivers...but mostly because I've gotten into lots of trouble myself on this date in previous years.


2. If a leprechaun told you that you could have any amount of money from his pot of gold but it had to be a specified amount for a specified item, how much would you ask for and what would it be for?
$450,000 for a house that included 20 years of tax payments and insurance premiums. I'd be a happy girl.

3. One of the symbols of St. Patrick's Day is the leprechaun. Name a celebrity that you think would look good as a leprechaun. Name a celebrity that would look ridiculous as a leprechaun. Is there any one celebrity that would make a really scary leprechaun?
Will Ferrell made a great Elf...so I think a Leprechaun is in order. The rest of this question is silly. 

4. For a prize of $1,000,000,000 you are challenged to make yourself a costume for a St. Patricks Day party. The ONLY rules are that you aren't allow to use clothing and it has to be green. Using anything other than clothing, describe your costume to us using ANYTHING else in the house.
Another silly question. I could dye my Wheatena cereal green and plaster it on, let it dry so it will stay put. Bud believes Wheatena is the material they built the pyramids with. I would then cash in the balance of the money for some fun.

5. What day of the week is your busiest? Tell us about your schedule.
Probably Monday. Weekends are laundry, housework, alcohol and Bud dates, tho not in that order.

6. No matter what's going on in your life, what always makes you smile?
Music.

7. Of all the clothes you own, what do you feel most comfortable wearing, and why?
My nightgowns. No pressure lines...

8. On what television show—either past or present—would you like to make a guest appearance, and what role would you play?
24...as one of Kiefer's love intersts that turns into a terrorist.

9. What else is on your mind? Go ahead and rant.
Will people just shut the F%# up about Charlie Sheen? I'm sick of hearing about him.

THURSDAY DATING PROFILES: Iwillifyoumakeme

Welcome to Thursday Dating Profiles. This meme is based on a feature from WTIT: The Blog authored by Bud Weiser. This is a bit different than an "answer this question" meme. Weekly, we scour those on-line dating sites to respond either a person's profile or often their headlines as most of us would really like to do. The spelling or grammar errors were in the original profiles.

1. ME:... is ... optimistic, faithful,hmmm... sometimes with certain ones, sexy; has 2 grown-up children - what a well done job! ;)...
ME: is not interested.

2. I am a very young 50 & a high-energy person. No couch potatoes please!
Hope you took your Geritol.

3. I like quiet life to enjoy with the favorite person and travelling together.

4. I am weak yet strong, brave yet soft, leather and lace, a little good and a little bad.
Wasn't this a toilet tissue ad?

5. I think I am a shy person, still trying to smile though I've lost my beloved lover. I will try. But I may not get over it.
It'll be easy getting over your profile...

6. I have a wonderful sense of mischief,and a smile that will make you think naughty thoughts.
Where ya smilin? Perhaps Hef can do a spread on that.

7. I am a simple person without much fuss and with just average looks. I am a Catholic who would like to follow Jesus.
Translation: I am a boring, stoopid person who thinks other boring, stoopid people will find me worth being boring and stoopid with.

That's your story and you're stickin to it right?

Wednesday Wickedness: Whoopi Goldberg

Today Janera picked Whoopi Goldberg. Here's Wednesday Wickedness!



1. An actress can only play a woman. I'm an actor, I can play anything.
If you could experience any life form that was not a human of your sex, what would you pick and why?
A dog on a farm or out in the country. I think it would be well fed, get plenty of fresh air and have lots of other animals to bark at, play with and hump on (jk).

2. For some reason, all artists have self-esteem issues.
Do you have any self esteem issues? Do tell. (Since we all do.)
I have had bad esteem issues since I was a little girl. Both parents are guilty of promoting my self-loathing, but I'm raising myself out of that pit ...one day at a time.

3. I am the American Dream. I am the epitome of what the American Dream basically said. It said, you could come from anywhere and be anything you want in this country. That's exactly what I've done.
Do you believe in the American Dream or has it passed through time?
Yes. I am optimistic and have faith in people's resourcefulness, inventiveness and sheer guts to keep this country moving.

4. I don't have pet peeves, I have whole kennels of irritation.
It's been asked before, probably weekly, but what's irritating you today?
I did not get a callback on a very important matter today.

5. I don't look like Halle Berry. But chances are, she's going to end up looking like me.
What do you think you'll end up looking like? (A picture would help.)
Depends on how many lifts I get and my genes. I'll just be an older version of NOW. ;-}

6. I grew up in a time when it would never have occurred to anyone to tell me there was anything I couldn't do.
Has anyone told you that you could not do something?
I was told I would not find a job in this economy. I found and was hired for 7 in the past 13 months...

7. I want Carl Sagan to explain the sky to me.
Is there anybody dead that you'd like to talk to?
My mother. I'd like to know about the post-death journey she took and if dead people's spirits are really around us and part of the universal energy, (as has been my theory for years).

8. If every American donated five hours a week, it would equal the labor of 20 million full-time volunteers.
Have you ever done volunteer work?
I have helped the Salvation Army (via my ex-workplace) serving a meal, helped in California as a blind person companion in a program there, and most notably, I helped with an elderly christmas celebration a couple years in a row when I lived in England. It was for the Mayor of Islington's Annual Christmas Party which is held for destitute elderly people living in that area. I helped load these fragile people onto a bus and then helped served them dinner at the party and walked them to the restroom. I found it all really gratifying.

9. It's being willing to walk away that gives you strength and power - if you're willing to accept the consequences of doing what you want to do.
Have you ever walked away from a job and regretted it?
Probably...

10. Normal is in the eye of the beholder.
Are you normal? Explain.
I'm quite normal...the rest of the world is not, apparently.
