does anyone know of the best FREE website to store my pictures? i have all kinds of albums (like 30-40) on yahoo photos. for some reason, they are closing this down. what a disappointment! flickr charges you after a certain amount. and i’m not familiar with others. just wondering. thanks!
don’t you think it’s funny when you go somewhere and someone you completely don’t know acts like they know you and that you’ve been there sooo many times before? that has happened to me twice in about 2 weeks. and i just laugh to myself. i’ve probably done it before to someone at work or wherever.
the other day my dad was talking about something. i said…yeah, dad, i guess that’s just how you roll. he said…i don’t understand that. i said…you know, like the way you do things. he said…no, that’s just how i ROCK. i’m still laughing about that in my head.
funk — it’s a nice word. but it’s kind of where i am right about now. i understand that verse (wherever it is) that says where there is no vision the people perish. how horrible it is to be somewhere in your life and not have what i guess you could consider goals for the future. to be just floating around somewhere with no real purpose (that you can see) for being there. i finally know where this step is taking me in life. now i’m just waiting for it to take course. it won’t be too much longer, but it’s been a tough road to get there. more details later…
yesterday we headed out to the red bull flugtag where they launch all these crazy flying contraptions off a platform to see how far they will fly. it was pretty funny. one was a rubix cube, a car, a dude a bike, a dragon. most of them didn’t stand a chance and went straight down. at times, i was a bit concerned for the people on them when they landed…you know…broken vertebrae and such. i’m posting the winner…this was absolutely amazing. we didn’t witness it though. the scorching heat drove us away early. watching this, i can’t believe how it didn’t occur to someone else to create one similar. previously, i think the record was 81 feet…now it’s set at 155 feet!! wow! the admirable part of it was that they had to land in the cumberland river. i never even knew how horrible and nasty the river was until i read an article about one group saying that was the part that concerned them the most…the possibility of coming out with another arm or strange defect. funny.
Flugtag
what a deal we got for entertainment on saturday night. the fab five (me, christi, accalia, lauren, sandy) went to the cma music festival at l.p. field (where the titans play.) for $35, we got to see the following artists: jodee messina (well, we heard her from the parking lot), billy ray cyrus (yes, he sang achy breaky heart with the crowd going wild), leann rimes, rascall flats, josh turner (oh my gosh his voice is so low), and martina mcbride! it was amazing. so much talent in one place. i like getting a good deal like that. christi’s parents also went with us. her dad took a phenomenal picture of us afterwards with the fireworks in the background. when sandy sends it, i’ll try to post it.
yesterday i finally tried this small mediterranean restaurant down the road. it was that or krystal’s. i wanted krystal’s so much but couldn’t bear to eat THAT unhealthy. anyway, the man at the mediterranean place was really nice. i ordered a grilled chicken salad pita wrap, and he made it right there in front of me. i was really surprised when he told me to pay last. go ahead and eat and then come back and pay. what? have you ever heard of this? what’s so funny is that the whole time i was eating i couldn’t stop thinking about it. why? are they leaving room open for me to more likely get a dessert or add another side item? do they want to make sure i am satisfied? how do they keep up with all of this when they are really busy? what if someone leaves? are they watching me right now to see if i leave? i’m still not really sure. i didn’t ask. i think it’s just to make you feel more at home. who knows. but now that i won’t be shocked by it, i will definitely go back. it was magnificent.
the other night lauren and i were in blockbuster with a free non-new-release rental coupon. those are the hardest to pick. i remembered that i needed to see that spinal tap movie. i asked the guy at the front desk if he knew of the movie. his face lit up as he told me where to find it. we walked to the aisle, grabbed the dvd and took it up front. he pulled out his super duper cleaning solution and shined it right up for us as he told us how much we would love it.
weelllll, we watched it. and i didn’t get it. pretty much struggled to get through. i wanted to like it! yes, there were many parts that were funny. nigel was my favorite out of all. and the other guy that plays the bass…he was hilarious. but i’m thinking maybe it would be funnier to watch with other people, maybe we should have been in some kind of altered state of mind? i don’t know but we tried so hard to think it was so funny. maybe i need to know a little more about rock music. who knows. but i will say that i’m glad i finally saw it. their outfits were ridiculously hideous!
