The Sweet Escape - Gwen Stefani feat. Akon

[Gwen]
If I could escape I would but,
First of all, let me say
I must apologize for acting stank & treating you this way
Cause I've been acting like sour milk all on the floor
It's your fault you didn't shut the refrigerator
Maybe that's the reason I've been acting so cold?

[CHORUS]
If I could escape & recreate a place that's my own world
& I could be your favourite girl (forever), Perfectly together
Tell me boy now wouldn't that be sweet? (sweet escape)
If I could be sweet, I know I've been a real bad girl (I'll try to change)
I didn't mean for you to get hurt (whatsoever)
We can make it better, Tell me boy wouldn't that be sweet? (sweet escape)

[Akon]
I want to get away, to our sweet escape
I want to get away, yeah

[Gwen]
You held me down, I'm at my lowest boiling point
Come help me out, I need to get me out of this joint
Come on let's bounce, counting on you to turn me around
Instead of clowning around, let's look for some common ground
So baby, times get a little crazy
I've been gettin' a little lazy, waitin' on you to come save me
I can see that you're angry by the way that you treat me
Hopefully you don't leave me, wanna take you with me

[CHORUS]
If I could escape & recreate a place that's my own world
& I could be your favourite girl (forever), Perfectly together
& tell me boy now wouldn't that be sweet? (sweet escape)
If I could be sweet (sorry boy)
I know I've been a real bad girl (I'll try to change)
I didn't mean for you to get hurt (whatsoever)
We can make it better
& tell me boy now wouldn't that be sweet? (sweet escape)

Woohoo, Yeehoo
Woohoo, Yeehoo (If I could escape)
Woohoo, yeehoo (If I could escape)
Woohoo, Yeehoo

Cause I've been acting like sour milk all on the floor
It's your fault you didn't shut the refrigerator
Maybe that's the reason I've been acting so cold?

[CHORUS]
If I could escape & recreate a place that's my own world
& I could be your favourite girl (forever), Perfectly together
& tell me boy now wouldn't that be sweet? (sweet escape)
If I could be sweet (sorry boy)
I know I've been a real bad girl (I'll try to change)
I didn't mean for you to get hurt (whatsoever)
We can make it better
& tell me boy now wouldn't that be sweet? (sweet escape)

Woohoo, Yeehoo (I wanna get away, get away)
Woohoo, Yeehoo (To our sweet escape)
Woohoo, Yeehoo (I wanna get away)
Woohoo, Yeehoo (Yeah)
Woohoo, Yeehoo
Woohoo, Yeehoo

Opening Day 4-3-07

My second opening day ever.

I would have to say this year was a let down. Last year I remember going to the park and seeing Noah pitch and then get hurt. The sun wasn’t shining and then it because a beautiful day. This year it was sunny before I got to the park. That was a little strange. I had no idea what I was going to be in store for today. I did not know I would get to see many of the greats from past All Star games and then to see a couple of them in person!

After the 4th inning or part way through I decided to talk to a friend. When I went I saw John Montefusco also known as “The Count”. I took a picture with my cell phone so I could have a memory of the last Giant to have a no hitter.

As I went out for the second time as I was going back to my seat I saw Jeffery Leonard. The Hacman as he was called was trying to get to his car. I was holding two hot links and I didn’t have a pen for an autograph. Damn. He was turned away by security because he didn’t have a press pass. Yup, the usher was strict and it was before her time. She also told me who she stopped and made them turn around. It wasn’t like they were wearing their jerseys with their name on the back. Of course everyone would then hound them for autographs. I was close to it and it would have meant something to me.

It was something to learn about the history of the team. The number of great ones who made it to the All Star games. Barry Bonds’ father Bobby was an All Star too, but he passed away a couple of years ago. Seeing Mc Covey on the field with others just made me go WOW. He’s a nice man and if I could speak with him I’d say thank you for the memories that you have give us as fans. I haven’t been a fan that long, but just seeing him on the field just puts tears to my eyes right now. Very touching to see him out there with a couple of other Hall of Famers like Orlando Cepeda and Juan Marichal.

I still remember the ceremony when we honored Marichal. The bridge went up to mimic his leg kick. Today I will take with me the great ones that have had a career with the Giants and have given me hope for this year.

My Left Eye Sees Ghosts...


I just finished watching that movie and it brought me to tears. It started when I was watching the second half wondering if there was something near me. It just turned out that the movie so much I started to cry.

It's a touching story where Sammi falls in love with her husband in 7 days and in that time they get married. He ends up drowning and his family doesn't believe that he married her. One night she ends up passing out at the wheel and that's when she can see ghosts.

At the end of the movie she finds out that the ghost was her husband in disguise. She and the guy that fixes the car she totaled (it was her late husband's car) was the guy she was meant to be with.

If you want to see a strange love story, this one is it.

Super Simian to the Rescue!

Legend tells of a hero not born unto this world, but destined to change forever the course of human existence. A hero so grand that all past legends will turn to dust in the wake of his greatness. This is not that hero. This is, however, the next best thing: a monkey with a cape and a mask. Because nothing says power like a cape and a mask.

This monkey has a secret - there are pockets in the monkey's hands. Slip your fingers in, pull back his hind legs, and his arms will stretch to a crazy length with the magic of rubber! You can just feel the potential energy coursing through the monkey's imaginary veins. Let fly and you will be treated to a wondrous sight. The monkey will scream with delight when jolted. So, if the launch is hard enough, you'll get a scream of power in mid air; or if the landing is hard, you'll get a scream of protest as gravity does its work. Or, you fling like a master, you'll get a double-dose of monkey justice (i.e. noise). Dimensions: 11" Tall (arms at sides)

Help Your Monkey Make Beautiful Noise

There’s a door in ThinkGeek HQ which leads to another dimension (and no, we don’t mean the bathroom). In this other dimensional Earth, which we call Moorhtab, Spock has a beard and monkeys are as plentiful and beautiful as butterflies (and they fly too). It is indeed a great sight to see a flock of Moorhtabian Monkeys chiming in the wind. They chime because of the magnetic stones their carry in their little sacks. It was such an unusual noise, we knew we had to find a way to share it with you, our customers. Lucky for us, Moorhtabian Monkeys love string cheese, so a giant trade deal was made. Now, it is our pleasure to present, for this first time in this dimension, Singing Monkey Balls.

A few tips & tricks for your Singing Monkey Balls...

  • The Spinner - Start off by clasping the Monkey Balls between your thumb and two fingers. Squeezing gently will spin the Monkey Balls briefly in the air, producing a mysterious whistle. Try spinning them from one hand into the other. The higher into the air you spin them, the longer they whistle. (Please be sure no real Monkeys are in the vicinity when trying this trick, they may become disturbed.)
  • The Pendulum - Hold one Monkey ball between your fingers and thumb, then attach the second ball to the bottom of the first. Gently swing the balls back and forth like a pendulum. For an even greater challenge, see how close you can bring the second Monkey Ball to perpendicular before they clash together.
  • The Pinch - Place the Monkey Balls on a smooth surface, pinch the ends together with your thumb and forefinger, then release. The balls will emit a pleasant fluttering sound as they spin around the surface. Experiment with different surfaces to produce varying noises.

WARNING: This product is very magnetic. Always keep a safe distance (at least 20 inches) from magnetic storage media and sensitive electronic equipment such as: portable hard disks, pacemakers, credit cards, laptops and especially CRT monitors!

PLEASE NOTE: Singing Monkey Balls are not indestructible. Only kryptonite is indestructible and ThinkGeek does not carry that yet. Avoid dropping the balls onto hard surfaces. Never ever ingest them and keep them away from live monkeys.

The car that wouldn't shut the fuck up...

I arrive home tired and a little bothered. I hear a car alarm and think nothing of it. You know, the kind you believe that some car just set off with the muffler because it made the ground shake. You think it's just the car alarm set on sensative. I should probably set up the time that I got home. I got home almost 8.00 p.m. Hearing car alarms every once in a while happens you know? Everyone's heard at one time or another.

Well then I keep hearing the same alarm. Now I start to wonder because I get curious as to what kind of car is it? Where is it located? Why is it going off every two minutes? I'm in my room and it's about a quarter of a block away and I still hear it with the TV volume turned up to almost 50.

It then becomes later at night. It's 11.05 p.m. and I still hear the same car alarm. At this point it's just annoying and since no one (all the neighbors did not call or anything) I decided to do something. Rather than calling 911 because I looked up who you would call I found out the nearest station and e-mailed them. I emailed the station with the following information:

I am writing because there is a white Mercedes Benz that has a car alarm that goes off every couple of minutes. When I arrived home tonight it was already sounding. It is now 11 pm at night and it is still going off. The car is located on the corner of 18th and XXXXXXX. If you turn right on XXXXXX it is the second card before you reach 18th avenue. If you could have someone either locate the owner of the car and or have it towed I'd appreciate it and I'm sure the rest of the neighbors would too.

If you need to reach me my cell phone number is 415-xxx-xxxx. I do not know who's car that is nor do I have the license plate number. My name is Monkey.

That is what I put down. I believe I emailed that at about 11.09 p.m. and within about 20 minutes to about half an hour there was this truck noise I heard. I thought it might have been a delivery truck for Safeway or something. I find out it's a tow truck ready to take the car and there is a police car there too. While they were trying to tow the car I bet and believe they heard and understood what I was talking about. As they were trying to remove the car the alarm continued to sound.

My theory is this: if you can have a nice car then you can afford to pay the fee to get your car back from the impound lot. Should your car keep making annoying noises and someone who has pretty good hearing they will call and have your car towed.

Lesson here: If your car alarms keeps going for hours and hours I'm going to have it towed at YOUR expense and that's too fucking bad for you. If the people with in a half block radius has to hear your alarm go off for hours on end and don't complain I will. Watch where you park your car because if that alarm goes off for more than an hour expect it to be gone from the place you parked.

This has been a public service announcement for those that drive a nice expensive car and leave it unattended for more than three hours and knew the alarm would go off that often.

I wish I had a picture of the car being towed and or the car before. But I don't.

Horoscope: Lay the foundation for a few important things you hope to do -- plan the future. Is it better to give or receive? Now that's a question for the ages. Your usual perspective goes topsy-turvy when you realize there's more to life than accruing goods and success. What's really important?

Happy New Year! 2007!

I started off the New Year in another state. I was in the state that has that oh so famous Reno sign. I was actually eating when the whole count down happened. I was inside Silver Legacy. After I did hit a jackpot well, not really but won about 4 times what I started with. That wasn?t that bad. I mean I started off with $6.00 and left with $28.35 that?s pretty good. But then I had no luck. So I was bummed.

I left the same day and I think I came out not too badly damaged. I did get a Stewie and it wasn?t that hard. I had everything figured out and pretty much was within budgeted time.
Heading back I took pictures of what I thought I saw on the way there, but the snow covered trees were gone. I made a mini snow man and I made ?foot prints? in the snow. Some of it got stuck in my shoe. How funny it was not.

Then it was back to the real world to a nice sunset. That was my weekend. Now I can count the days until fan fest, spring training, opening day, and then the road trips.

Horoscope: Look deeper into something that's already a part of your life. Explore the known. Movers and shakers are listening to what you have to say right now, mostly because you say it so well. One precaution: Just because your brain is moving at the speed of light doesn't mean your mouth has to.

Christmas Eve...

My complaint for the day is AC Transit. I leave work at about 4.45 p.m. thinking the bus would show up by 5.00 p.m. But it?s ends up being 5.23 p.m. and then the bus finally shows. The bus fills up with people on the Edgewater stop. Then finally when we?re near the BART station there?s another bus behind us. WTF? How did the bus come out of no where?

I wanted to be home and not stuck right across the street because of some stupid bus not showing up. Everyone is trying to get home for the holiday and just finish wrapping presents.

I know I was really pissed off when I couldn?t get on the bus right after work to head home to just chill and start my three day weekend.

I just wish the bus company would be more responsible with the time schedule. I know that there is traffic and even nextbus.com won?t be as accurate.

My $0.02 on AC Transit.

Horoscope: A friend will receive some well-earned praise, and will thank you for your help. Your intellect melds with a megadose of hardworking astrological energy. The stars emphasize taking responsibility and being assertive. The resulting synergy is awesome to behold, but make sure you rest so you don't burn out.

This is what my supervisor gave me for Christmas. Now if I can request the rest I'll be good. I'll have a mix of monkey and baseball. There are Giants monkeys.

Horoscope: This is a day full of success for you -- your latest plans are working perfectly! Feel like someone's put a second helping of anxiety on your plate and you didn't even ask for the first? Taking judicious and appropriate action will assist you in remedying this. Yoga, meditation and other grounding exercises can help.

Move Along - THE ALL-AMERICAN REJECTS

Go ahead as you waste your days with thinking
When you fall everyone stands
Another day and you've had your fill of sinking
With the life held in your
Hands are shaking cold
These hands are meant to hold

Speak to me, when all you got to keep is strong
Move along, move along like I know you do
And even when your hope is gone
Move along, move along just to make it through
Move along
Move along

So a day when you've lost yourself completely
Could be a night when your life ends
Such a heart that will lead you to deceiving
All the pain held in your
Hands are shaking cold
Your hands are mine to hold

Speak to me, when all you got to keep is strong
Move along, move along like I know you do
And even when your hope is gone
Move along, move along just to make it through
Move along
(Go on, go on, go on, go on)

When everything is wrong, we move along
(Go on, go on, go on, go on)
When everything is wrong, we move along
Along, along, along

When all you got to keep is strong
Move along, move along like I know you do
And even when your hope is gone
Move along, move along just to make it through
[x3]

(Go on, go on, go on, go on)
Right back what is wrong
We move along

When I get married...

I am making this post only after realizing how much my uncle likes to pull pranks. He seems harmless, but he's really a joker. After seeing how others are being "played" at their wedding eloping sounds good.

It would be the Oh by the way...we're married. This dinner you all are at is our way of saying thank you for coming and here's the surprise. It's similar to I guess Britney Spear's, but of course we all know how her's ended up.

I'd like to do the whole walking down the isle in a church with a dress and a nice reception, but maybe keeping it limited to family only. Maybe some friends.

It's still a long way away. Just fun to think about.

Horoscope: Even if you're at a loss, look inward for the guidance you need to get you through this current issue. You may discover a hidden talent or find a way to apply an old one in a new way that will teach you an invaluable lesson.

Do People know how to drive or is it just the holidays?

I?m in the parking garage at Stonestown Galleria and I make that first stop sign stop. After that I make that first right turn where there is a ?U? shape parking area. I saw a car leave and thought maybe there?s a parking spot. See if anyone knew the parking area right there, you?d have to turn right and then left to get out of that mini area. Well this BITCH saw the parking spot and started to proceed. Well her only problem is that she didn?t see the yellow arrow on the ground and went the wrong way.

She then proceeds to yell at me and say ?Did you not see me going for the spot?? Excuse me BITCH, but when did going the WRONG FUCKING WAY meant you had a parking spot and you had it first? Last time I checked I had the spot and I went the right way. I called her a dumbass and if I saw her inside the mall I would have kicked her ass.

Hey BITCH! Did you not see the yellow arrow on the ground? And who the FUCK gives you the right to yell at me and say it?s YOUR SPOT? Bitch you can go to hell. And if I ever see your car again I will key it and go? HEY BITCH! That?s MY FUCKING SPOT!

Maybe I was just too sensitive to her. Hell fucking no I wasn?t! She didn?t have the right to take my parking spot. BITCH I hope you rot in HELL and get your car keyed.

Horoscope: Balancing your family and your career will get easier today. Life gets demanding about now, so pay attention and be on your toes. Multitasking types like you rise to this challenge quite easily. In fact, all of this activity makes you feel like you're living life to its fullest.

Black Friday...

If you all didn't know I spend Thanksgiving in San Diego. This one will be my first and last I'd say. I have never been so tired and so shocked in my life. So Cal pwns Nor Cal with Black Friday. I woke up with very little sleep to head over to Fryz for some deals. Little would I know what I would be expecting. We pulled into the wrong parking lot and that alone already had me freaked out. It was where a Wal Mart was. There was a line like you wouldn't believe.

We did end up leaving that lot to head over to the correct lot. There was a line that wrapped around the building at Fryz. I kid you not! There were beds and make shift cart forts. The line wrapped around the building before it opened. I might add I arrived at about 4am. You can imagine how long others were there for. It was sort of cold too.

This was something I wasn't prepared for. I was so tired I took a nap. I kid you not. The girl that never naps not even after a Black Friday in year's past just had to. Something about being in a car and for long distances that just put me to sleep.

I wish I had pictures of how long the line was, but I'm pretty sure I'd get hurt. There were many college students from UCSD and SDSU. I have no idea why they'd be there, but of course it's the holidays so that's why they were there.

Horoscope: Good results can't always be ensured, but they can always be hoped for. Be positive. Long-held investments start to pay off. Long-cherished projects finally come to fruition. Success breeds more of the same. Take advantage of every opportunity that comes your way and exploit each to its limits.

Collide - Howie Day

The dawn is breaking
A light shining through
You're barely waking
And I'm tangled up in you
Yeah

I'm open, you're closed
Where I follow, you'll go
I worry I won't see your face
Light up again

Even the best fall down sometimes
Even the wrong words seem to rhyme
Out of the doubt that fills my mind
I somehow find
You and I collide

I'm quiet you know
You make a frist impression
I've found I'm scared to know I'm always on your mind

Even the best fall down sometimes
Even the stars refuse to shine
Out of the back you fall in time
I somehow find
You and I collide

Even the best fall down sometimes
Even the wrong words seem to ryhme
Out of the doubt that fills your mind
You finally find
You and I collide

You finally find
You and I collide
You finally find

Friendster...

That's today's topic. I have no idea why, but I'm hooked on it. It's my new "thing". It's the older version of MySpace. I have spent I don't know...maybe a week now on it, but hours maybe 72+?

You just kind of wonder how did Jane turn out? How did John turn out? It's really one of those curiosity things.

If anyone even reads this via my friendster and you know me from either elementary school, middle school, or even high school please say hi to me. I can be your friend in your travels around the states.

Horoscope: Put more effort into your career today, and do the work you've been putting aside. Under this influence, there's a definite 'when in Rome' vibe going on with you. Just make sure you're not catering to others' needs so much that you forget your own personality in the process.

I learned something today...

OK it really took me about a week to figure out this one, but better late than never right? Well I reported that I went to the Rolling Stones concert on Monday because I had tickets from work. Yes, never in my wildest dreams I believe I?d go to a Rolling Stones concert.

I was sitting in section 239 and for a couple of songs I was able to sort of see Mick Jagger dancing like Curious George. Granted I don?t have perfect vision, but I knew it was him.

The opener was Van Morrison. The only song of theirs that I knew was Brown Eye Girl only because of some obscure memory I remember hearing after Lacy Peterson?s mother said that was her favorite song.

OK now that you all have an idea of who I?m talking about or the group I?ll get to the point of this entry. Van Morrison sang Crazy Love. For some of you who watched 90210 would know that song because Brian McKnight covered it and they showed him singing it at the end of a couple of the episodes. I thought I know that song. I didn?t know that Brian covered that song.

The other song that I knew well was Wild Nights because John Mellencamp covered that song back in the 90s as well. If you don?t know who he is well let me tell you. He?s the guy that sings the song This is Our Country in the Chevrolet car commercials and was on every other time (or it seemed like it) during the World Series.

Now you know a couple of the songs of the 90s was originally done by someone older.

Horoscope: Someone else's business problems are not yours, although you may be affected. When you have to take charge at the last minute, you discover that improvisation sharpens your skills. You may actually enjoy taking center stage, especially when you realize you're pretty good at being there.

In The Sun - Ben Harper

I picture you in the sun wondering what went wrong
And falling down on your knees asking for sympathy
And being caught in between all you wish for and all you seen
And trying to find anything you can feel that you can believe in

May God's love be with you always
May God's love be with you

I know I would apologize if I could see your eyes
cause when you showed me myself I became someone else
but i was caught in between all you wish for and all you need
I picture you fast asleep
A nightmare comes
You can't keep awake

May God's love be with you always
May God's love be with you

Cause if I find
If I find my own way
How much will I find
If I find
If I find my own way
How much will I find you

I don't know anymore
what it's for
I'm not even sure
If there is anyone who is in the sun
Will you help me to understand
Cause i been caught in between all I wish for and all I need
Maybe you're not even sure what it's for
Any more than me

May God's love be with you always
May God's love be with you
