Music For A Tuesday

This was live in 1980!  Very cool.

Now I've never listened to much (if any) Grateful Dead.  I quite enjoyed this though.. I hope you all do as well, Happy Tuesday!!!Thanks Tim for the music this week!!!

-Hang in there!

Juggalettes for Life?

source .. story here

Check the story, if you're so interested..... It made me sick, physically. I felt sick to my stomach. I know there are exceptions to all rules. I know there is bad eggs and good eggs and the likes.

This bothered me and made think, long and hard

I was bored this morning, how that happened I still can't be sure.  In my boredom I logged into my email, finally.  Some years back when the love flowed better in my veins I indulged in quite a bit of the Psychopathic Family.  Have I mentioned this before?

I've had a weak spot for ICP and Twizid since my days in High School, my "juggalo love" you might call it.  I've been to many a concert and painted my face like the rest of my brethren and sistren.   Yes on occasion I'm guilty of speaking like a dummy.  It is what it is, we're all guilty at times.

I'm in my email today and I'm clicking through, ending up on the Psychopathic newsletter I must have signed up for years ago... Towards then end of the newsletter I read that a lady, juggalette if you will,was going through divorce. Her soon to be ex husband took their daughter and would not return her. Actually went as far as telling the cops and judge that the child's mother was a violent juggalo. From what I've heard, gathered and read... Juggalos are now considered gang members?!?!?  In the end she actually lost custody of her child and isn't allowed to participate in the child's life without the fathers permission..

OVER MUSIC!  THIS BLOWS MY MIND!!!

I will give them one thing... The music isn't for children, I've never let my child listen to anything by any band on their label. It's just not right ... But it makes me laugh sometimes...

Is this bad?

Never in all my years did I even think that they would consider a group of people who enjoy a certain band or bands gang members?  It blew my mind.   Then I read what that guy said and was just even more bothered by it.

I don't know why it's bothersome to me, I just hate to think that people look at me that way!  I enjoyed their music for many years and will occasionally still listen to some of it. I haven't been to their shows in a few years, but that's not because I don't want to.  Life happens, sometimes I just can't.

I do remember the disappointment I felt the last time I went to a Twiztid show and there was a child walking around with his parents drinking Red Bull. I died a little inside that night...

I worry now driving around with my hatchet man sticker on the back of my car. On more than one occasion I have received unwanted attention from people who also enjoy their music.

Perhaps it's time for me to grow up and put away my childish things?  But at the same time it just doesn't seem fair to me to lose and give up the things I once enjoyed because I'm worried what people might think.

Monday Mash-up Episode 6

Happy MONkeyDAY my dear Dingleberries...It's a hectic day here in the land of working at a towing company.  I don't think I've met the requirements for a mash up post, but you know I'm going to give it a shot. It wouldn't be the Monkey Butt blog if I didn't at least try.

It's good to be back, I'm struggling with my reading a bit, but I'm at least doing my best at attempting to read those of you who are regular visitors  here. I plan on getting back to my normal self... It's just not in my nature to let things go so easily, especially not some things that I truly enjoy!

• I've quite a few shout outs and thank you posts that need to be posting as well. I've received quite a few things in the mail, which has melted my frozen heart and made me smile.  You Dingleberries really don't understand how much I love you all! So keep hanging around, I'm hoping to get them back to going tonight. One at a time of course... Perhaps I can squish em all together. That doesn't seem like the MB way though does it? 

• I signed up for the gym!  Not for weight loss mind you, I'm hoping my readings will prove correct and it will help my stress levels some... 

• Working on resolutions that make sense for me this year. Shocked a little to see that I didn't fail too miserably with my resolutions for 2012.   I will save that post for later though. I'm sad a bit that I didn't get to post my year in pictures for you.  Bummer.   I guess most of it was pretty much boring or nothing picture worthy!  As if! 

• I've started reading again.. I'm working on the Twilight Saga (again) DON'T JUDGE ME. Also picked up the Bible. I obtained a list thing at church that is suppose to help you read through the Bible in order.  It's going.. I finished a whole weeks worth last night... Yea I was 6 days behind.  But I'm hopeful.  To at least keep my reading up. I love reading.

• Pokey got her wish and we're the proud owners of an adorable new guinea pig..  Pokey has named him Howard. Honestly we're not sure of it's sex. We picked him out from a very scary looking shed in the back of someones house. It smelled so bad in there and those three little guinea pigs broke my heart. There was no way I couldn't take at least one of them home with me.  Was just glad to get away from the woman telling us she'd been sick for weeks now with the flu or something. IF she'd been hanging in that shed too much I think I can understand where the sickness comes from. So far he seems like a good fit. Pictures to come later. 

So I'd say that's a good mash up for this MONkeyDAY. I know there is more.  Stuff that's been stored away and filed up for when I could get back in the swing of things...   

As I said before, I hope you're all hanging in there today... Enjoying a Monday.. 

Welcome back...

As most of you well know I went through some things there at the end of 2012.  Here we are a brand new year and there is no guarantee it's going to be any better than the last. But you know what?  I can take steps to attempt to make it the best I can. I'm not over the loss of Mama MB but I know now that it's completely normal... I haven't given up on the thoughts that therapy could do me some good. Me being me I've gotta exhaust my own abilities before I seek outside help.

I've missed you all in the last month or so...

Dare I hope to say that I'm back in the swing of things?  Still sticking true to my blogging and life in general. Forgive me and for those who have hung in here through my struggles...  Thanks!

I'm not going to get into the story that brought me to this post this week. But I think it's worth the watch. I've never actually seen Clerks 2  ... Or Clerks for that matter, but whatever!! 

 

Did you know there is also a fan page on facebook for this "Taking back Porch Monkey"  Where do they come up with this shit?  Like really?!!!??!?

 

 

 

 

 



What I'm Loving Wednesday

Happy Wednesday folks.  It's about 9:30 here right now, so I'm running late, but what's the saying? Better late than never?

So far, I'm two days into 2013 and have no idea when the last time I posted was.  Without looking oif course, but that's OK. I've hopes to do better with my postings.  To get it all together.  But it's OK, right?

So I'm keeping up with What I'm Loving Wednesday. I enjoy this weekly post, it's fun for me... At times. 

 

So here we go...

 

It's What I'm Loving Wednesday!

 

 

This weeks post is super easy and short...

 

I'm loving, 2013.

 

Two days in and so far it's not too shabby. I miss Mama MB so very much, things are still fresh though. I'm glad we're to a good start so far.

Pokey's 9th birthday bash was awesome! 

I've so many great friends and family members. I'm really quite lucky to be me.

I'm back to reading and as soon as  I finish up I'm wanting to start picking up new things..

I've made my New Year's Resolution..

It's so easy..

Try new foods! 

How can you go wrong with that?!?!

 

So my dear Dingleberries.. There you have it. What I'm Loving.  I plan to get caught up, i've lots of updates and shout outs to share and plan to get them all done asap.  It's January, never fails at being a busy month for me.  Kind of like December I guess! 

 

Hang in there!
