Casey Anthony Parody Songs

Check out 2 clever & funny parody songs made about Casey Anthony last year. She’s the Orlando woman who let her kid rot away in the trunk of her car.

Haiti

checked out haiti on google earth (google imagery was taken after the quake). That place was in really bad shape prior to the quake. Check out the Palace and then look about 1 block south and 2-3 blocks NE. Almost pure poverty. It reminds me of images from the movie Slumdog Millionare. I wouldnt be surprised if Haitians were getting better care now than ever before.  Its sickening to hear reports of Haitians saying its other countries responsibility to help them. What little gov’t they had was usless.

I pass by 20-30 homeless people a day who could use the aid, food, & water that is currently going to haiti. So freaking sad. Why not a Red Cross ad of “Help Americans. Text 99999 for $10 donation”. Yeah, you don’t see those ads - well you do after a disaster.

And I do think its sad what happened to them. I’m so thankful I don’t live in such shambles. I’m so thankful to have a really crappy job. They were in horrible shape prior to the quake. Where was our compassion then? There wasn’t any. Nobody cared about Haiti prior to the quake and in 1 year, nobody will again. Since most of the gov’t officials died, maybe new leaders will take a stand and actually help build a stronger & better place. But then again, why make that kind of investment & care about your people when you know other nations will step in when disasters happen. Must be nice to have that safety net. 

New Job!

No more sign holding! Sunday was my last day of sign holding. The truth of the matter is, my knees just couldn’t take the abuse. A few Saturday’s ago, my knees were is such pain that I could barely walk. So, I reduced my hours at work and started standing on a few pieces of plush carpet. (Yes, I had inserts in my shoes long before). Though all these techniques have help my knees recover, I needed to find other employment in which I wasn’t standing for 4-9 hours a day.

My new job started Thurs, Jan 7th. I will not disclose details of it online in fear of my ex gf Melissa stalking me or something. The pay is based on commission & when I convert it to a rough per hour rate, its a little better than sign holding. At least my knees don’t take a pounding.

I will probably stick with this till I get on board with the FAA.

Date Sunday Night

Was on another date with a new girl Sunday night. Yeah, it was awkward and I felt uncomfortable. She was from Puerto Rico, lol, and was very educated. Very nice, petite woman who had 3 boys. Though she had a sense of humor, well educated, and is not a vegetarian….I just felt like we weren’t clicking.  Lots of awkward pauses during & between conversations. I felt like I was doing most of the talking just to keep the silence from happening. She would have a few things to say but it wasn’t much for me to work with.

I tried dropping a few future hints of activities and stuff, but she didn’t pick up on anything. I got no clues that she would want to see me again.

(insert music) doo doo doo, another one bites the dust.

Make Snow in Tampa, Myth Busted

Myth Busted. 3:30 video. http://www.wxobs.info/Links%20&%20Odd%20Stuff/Videos/video/Make%20snow%2010/100_5420.MOV

Can’t really see the fine mist falling through the light nor me on the roof.  

Fans wrote in and said my experiment was flawed. I am conducting some research and I may build a snow making machine. Stay tuned. 

Waitress date dissappointment

The date never happened. On Tuesday, Brittani instructed me to call her Friday afternoon. After a text around noon, a voicemail around 3p, and another text about 5p on Friday - no response back. Our date was for 7p at a place to be determined. I received a call from Brittani at 615p. In a depressing slow voice, she says that her day sucked, it was slow, just want to stay home with my cousin and chill. Yada yada yada, she says to call about 830 to see if she what she’s doing and maybe we’ll go out to shoot some pool or darts. I called. Brittani says in a mellow down tone, I’m smokin pot and not going out. Listen Marty, I know you hit on me, but I just want to be friends. I’m telling you this now because I don’t want anyone’s feelings to get hurt.

My opinion. That’s all bullshit. Why would agree to going out on a date, blow me off, then tell me you just wanted to be friends. Bullshit. I had originally asked her out 3 weeks prior. She loved the poems I wrote and I even mentioned the date in the poem. She knew it was a date, she was definitely flirting with me all those weeks, and I know and could see that she was genuinely excited & flattered about our date.

What a disappointment. I’m not upset that the date didn’t happen, but I’m soo disappointed in Brittani. She was a totally different girl on the phone than at the restaurant. What happened to that fun, up beat, quick witted, woman I met? Did I mention that she can’t drive? Hmmm, geez, I wonder why. There’s more red flags that tell me to stay away. I can tell you that there will be no friendship. I haven’t contacted her since and don’t plan on to.

I certaintly know how to pick-em, right! Geez whiz. Kathy was a saint compared to these women.
