Do Smiley Faces have Noses?

16 12 2009

December 16, 2009

One day after the mandatory “Winter Snow Tire” law in Quebec.

9 days before Christmas.

66 days after my birthday.

And well honestly over a year since my last post.

Its not that I haven’t thought about it.  Or wanted to.  Simply put, life got in the way of blogging.  Which in the grand ‘ol scheme of things isn’t quite such a bad thing.

I started blogging because frankly my life was pretty darn boring.  Same ‘ol job, with no prospect of changing.  Same ‘ol schedule, same ‘ol plans, same ‘ol meals. . . . same ‘ol everything.

Blogging was a positive and fun outlet for me, gave me something to look forward to.  I spent a whole year blogging at least one post every day.  It was quite an under taking and I was proud of myself for finishing that.

Last night I was speaking to my hometown bestie, Christine – and she was telling me a story about cousin and the hilarious happenings of her customer service job.  Christine has been trying to get her cousin to write a book about the people she crosses paths with for about a year.  Christine tells me cousin is a no-holds-barred George Carlin-esque kind of personality, of course she is a little more woman, a little less grey, and of course a lot less dead then then late Mr. Carlin.  Cousin has been mulling over the idea, and finally though, “I could put my hand at blogging”.  Christine told her about my blog, and how I could help her get it up and going.  This of course got me thinking – its kinda bad to suggest to someone to check out a dead blog.  And her I am, resurrecting the dead.   This was the push I needed to get back on the horse.

So today I was posed a question, though through a status update on Facebook.  Do Smiley Faces have Noses?

I suggested to Aaron, who posted the above picture, that perhaps this smiley face (who doesn’t actually appear to be smiling at all) that he may have a birth or beauty mark, like Cindy Crawford.

————

Since my last hoorah of constant posting, a few things have changed in my life. Without going mass amounts of details – the most significate.

1.  The court case at Job1.  I was advised to lay low in my online postings.  People on the other side were reading my (personal) blog, and the Job1 legal team thought it best I didn’t give them ammo.  (I’m still not sure how posting about celebrities, sewing, cats and dance shows would really have helped/hindered a court case).  Who won that anyways?

2.  My S.I.Ls car accident.  It changed alot.

3.  Job1 became old job.  I am no longer then, and considerably more healthy now for it.

My life has come almost full circle, and though I won’t admit to being back to a boring life – I’m certainly more calm, rested with more time to allow for *some* often blogging.

Thank you to all the readers who have emailed me, sent me messages and posted comments to during my hiatus.

I hope you will all welcome me back.

It feels nice to put pen to paper, or keys to screen. . . . . . .

Joey

ps.  and to everyone looking for SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE music.  give me a week or so, I’ve been keeping track, I have obviously just not updated in a while.

Look at What the Cat Dragged In

1 04 2008

look at what the cat dragged in

Hello everyone.

Its been a really long time. I’m sorry. I’ve missed my blogging.

I won’t go into a lot of details right now about my long long absence, I’ll simply sum it up by saying. . .

Life got in the way of blogging.

Glad to be back to blogging, I need this outlet right now. I don’t think I will be here in the full force I was before, but I’ll be here.

Love,

Joey

Pavarotti Changed His Will

11 09 2007

In the weeks leading up to his death, Luciano Pavarotti changed his will to favour the children, Lorenza, Cristina and Giuliana, he had with his first wife Adua Veroni.

Putting his second wife Nicoletta and daughter Alice as a disadvantage.

Sources say that Pavarotti grew close again to Adua, and his daughters by Adua in the last year of his life.

Thinking about You, Too!

24 08 2007

I got a beautiful simple card in the post this week from my Grandmother – my Nanny.

http://img411.imageshack.us/img411/1654/xxminoucardbt9.jpg (Grumpy Minou with the card)

There are very few people in this world who affect me so wholly then her.

She is the matriach of our family, and one of my best friends.

I won’t go into details about what an amazing woman she is. . . trust me she is!

This beautiful and simple card hurt me right down in the very core of my being.

I’ve avoided Nan recently, actually for the last 8-9 months.

She had a fall and broke her back over a year ago now, and simply she hasn’t been the same. The medications that were helping her body heal, were stripping her of her mind and wits.

I was so emotionally distraught about seeing the one of the most influencial people in my life simply looking like they were hanging on to a last shred of life (and of dignity) I couldn’t bring myself to visit her.

And I haven’t.

I’m sitting here, tears welling in my eyes.

I’ve been horrible, horrible to the one person in my family who knows me the best, and accepts me just the way I am. My partner in crime, my confidant. My inspiration.

I love you Nan! I promise I’ll be there to see you soon.

I love you!





Personal DNA

19 08 2007

I saw this interesting quiz at Vic’s blog “What Is It With Dykes & Guitars” here

Its a LONG one to complete but very interesting results. If you have 10 minutes to do this one, the results are worth the read.  WordPress.com does not allow script in posts, so I wasn’t able to post the actual ‘results button’ so I made it with a screen shot. . . anyways, go check Vic’s out to see how a results button should function :)

Take your own Personal DNA quiz!!





Rock & Spice

18 08 2007

Which are you?  Rock or Spice?

In every relationship there is a rock and an spice.  You can personally have traits of both but you are primarily one or the other.   Which are you?

Rock : The rock is stable, considerate and interested in the details.  The are solid in mind, sturdy in thought and tough with challenges.

Spice : The spice is spontaneous, off the beaten track and a little eccentric.  A heaping of an artistic nature, a sprinkling of the wild side and a dash of out-of-the box thinking.

Although I have a strong tendancy to be timely, I believe I’m the Spice to Colin’s Rock. . .  .

Linky Luv! Help me Boost my Technorati Rating & Google Page Rank

1 08 2007

I was checking out some of NewHoosier‘s blogroll, and I came across this post on a blog NewHoosier reads. It tickled my fancy because alas, even though I get a thousand (and some times thousands) of hits a day now, my Technorati rating is actually quite low. I’m hoping all this link love will help me boost it a teeny-tiny widdle bitty bit.

In addition to the first list I saw on NewHoosier’s site, a bunch of my favorite haunts also have another link love post, which can be found at the bottom of this entry.

Come on folks, show some love!

Monday Melee

A Fracas Project! You’re invited to participate. Get details and see the participant list here.

————————————————————–

The Monday Melee Questions:

The Sleep Edition

1. The Misanthtropic: Name something (about humanity) you absolutely hate.

That we don’t know how to sit back, relax and really get rest.

————————————————————–
2. The Meretricious: Expose something or someone that’s phony, fraudulent or bogus.

Sleeping Aids. The whole lot of them. I think (rightly or wrongly so) I’ve tried them all. Breathe right strips, natural sleeping pills, bubble baths. The whole lot. A bunch of hog-wash.

————————————————————–
3. The Malcontent: Name something you’re unhappy with.

I’ve really started to look as tired as I feel.

————————————————————–
4. The Meritorious: Give someone credit for something and name it if you can.

Anyone who really gets their 8 hours a sleep a night. Kudos to you all.

————————————————————–
5. The Mirror: See something good about yourself and name it.

I certainly know how to enjoy sleep if I get to have it.

————————————————————–
6. The Make-Believe: Name something you wish for.

Counting Sheep that would really help me get more sleep :)
