Every morning we wake with hope- this is the day! Problems we face will be solved and the pain of our circumstances will be treated with soothing assurances of relief on its way.

Every evening, disappointment, but hope remains. A prayer of faith is lifted in spite of circumstances. Waiting is the hardest part…but in waiting much is learned, and much is remembered.

We are commanded to walk along the cliff’s edge. When we look down, we see the face of despair. The question is, do we really trust God? A cliff’s edge is a bad place to fake it.

…wishes he was a race car driver works on a race car in his garage.

He works on his car about 30 feet from our patio windows and for some reason, he thinks the time to start revving his engine is at about 9pm+ at night (which sounds remarkably similar to this).

Now…I will say so far he has usually stopped no later than 10pm…but the other night I was pms-ing and simply couldn’t stand it another minute!  So I called the non-emergency number to find out when the noise ordinance can be enforced.

Would you believe 11pm!??!? Yeah. So not happy.

The dispatcher I spoke with was wonderful and very understanding as I expressed my frustration. She said she already had an officer in the area and that she could have him do a drive by to see how bad it was. I thanked her and said “only if he isn’t doing anything, but yeah, that’d be great.”

After a while, the neighbor quiets down (about 10:15) but then me and Mr. Blu see a cop coming down the street so, we went out and chatted with him for a few minutes…described the issue, thanked him for swinging down our street (he was already in the area so no problem he said). It was really a nice conversation and the officer seemed to appreciate the fact that we came out to talk to him about it and while we were all pleasantly chatting away…

…around the corner, down our street comes three miscreant teens on bikes (who have long been a nuisance in our area) with squeaky toys, hooting and hollering and squeaking their squeaky toys in a most peace disturbing and annoying fashion! Mr. Blu and I looked at each other and grinned. Timing is freaking everything! lol!

The officer (who happened to be in an unmarked car) shouts out his window that they are biking illegally (no headlights, no helmets) and they hooted and squeaked at him as they went roaring past completely oblivious that he was a cop.

That’s when the officer flipped his strobes on and the whole neighborhood lit up in red and blue. He then excused himself from us and kinda tore off after them.

We’ll never know the actual outcome but we have great fun imagining the looks on their faces when they fully realized that their asshatery had been discovered…

Anyway…it got me over my pms grump and we didn’t hear another peep out of the neighbor after that. Double win!

This is what happens when viral marketing takes steroids.  Enjoy! ;)

If you missed the fun, here’s a recap from yesterday’s OldSpice internet domination:  ABC-The Conversation Gets Personal With Old Spice Man

With a beginning like that, you know the wedding was going to be amazing.

The parodies she inspires, LMAO!!!!

It’s almost ten minutes long, but it’s just incredible. It’s entirely stop-action, so just THINK how long it took the creators to make… mind-blowing.

Hang on until the last 10 seconds…TOTALLY worth it! BWAHAHAHAHA!!! (and yes, this is an actual movie)

P.S.  Yes, I completely get the irony between this post and my last one.  :P

…you probably think I’m talking about “Twilight”, right?

*gag*

The “Bella” I’m talking about in this post is actually a jewel of an independent film that slipped through the cinema cracks of 2006.  I recognized exactly no one in the entire cast and was likewise completely oblivious of the director (Alejandro Gomez Monteverde) and any of his previous projects.

The story itself is very simple, a one day snapshot in the lives of two people: “He is a an international soccer star is on his way to sign a multi-million dollar contract when a series of events unfold that bring his career to an abrupt end. She is a beautiful waitress, struggling to make it in New York City, discovers something about herself that she’s unprepared for. In one irreversible moment, their lives are turned upside down… until a simple gesture of kindness brings them both together, turning an ordinary day to an unforgettable experience.”

A tad confusing with flash back scenes colliding with the current timeline of the movie, but any “Lostie” will easily get over that, lol! The real payoff, if you’ve paid attention to the entire story (and sub stories) is the last five minutes or so of the movie.

A word of caution:  This is a film for lovers of real cinema. If you’re a fan of likes of “Big Momma’s House” and “Dumb and Dumber”, this film probably isn’t for you.

Total fabulousness! *grin*

Like many dogs, Lucy is terrified of fireworks.  When she hears the crack/crackle/boom starting…well, she turns into a quivering, terrified, little wreck because clearly the world is ending! Poor girl.  The stupid rednecks in the area have been lighting them off for the last couple of weeks!  Lucy is just a mess. :(

Don’t worry, Lucy…I’ve got your “drugs” all ready to go for tonight’s “grand finale”.  Hopefully you won’t even be aware of what’s happening.

Here’s a good resource on how to help your dog through the worst night of their lives: “Dogs and Fireworks – Fear & Anxiety”
