Mother's Against Sexual Internet Predators

The world is going to hell in a handbasket. It is evidenced in everything that we see these days and if I am saying it, it must be happening because I like to keep my head in an ostrich hole and ignore the crap that is going on around me. 50,000 men a year are castrating themselves, Sexually transmitted diseases are in the millions and growing, and their are people out their preying on innocent children. Did you watch the Dateline special where they caught internet predators? I didn't, but I heard it was sickening.

I got this comment posted in response to my story about Herpies that I wrote a while back. I never expected that post to open my eyes and to see things in a different light, but it has...


Very good article and good that you posted it. Our situation is different. My duaghter met a man (Brock Purviance) over the internet when she was 14 and he was 28. He is what is know as a "groomer". To make a long painful story short, he flew to our state, initiated a sexual relationship with our daughter five days after her 15th birthday. She tested postive to the HPV and the markers that cause cervical cancer. She will forever have to worry about developing cancer. This man is still out as of this day at his music school. The denver school of music. in Arvada Colorado.

1. This is a real disease that affects even those that are victims.

2. Men can give it without adverse side affects

3. My daughters doctor said men are not even tested for this disease because it does not affect them.

4. They are working on a immunization that can be given in a couple of years to those who have never contracted the virus as part of childrens immunizations, and hopefully will wipe out cervical cancer to which 95% of all cervical cancers are related to HPV.

By the way Brock told me personaly even if he did give it to my daughter it is no big deal because 70% of the population has it... yah easy for him to say, it won't give him cancer. Moral of this story....Parents check your kids cell phone logs, see who they are talking to... check their e-mails and see who is in their contact list..People be careful of each other, just because something does not affect you, does not mean it won't someone else.

Thank you for this chance to comment. ozarkcontessa [Mother Against Sexual Internet Predators]

When I got this comment I was obviously shocked and I immediately wanted to post it. Unfortunately, I had many posts about the Mavericks and other things and this post would suddenly seem out of place an incongruous with what I had been talking about and I wanted to be able to give the topic the full attention that it deserved.

On an up note, I received a second response from the Ozark Contessa stating that Brock Purviance is now in jail. I can't find the email or else I would post it here in full detail, but it looks like he will have to pay a little bit of a price for what he did, but there are some scales that can never be balanced.

So what makes a man a sexual predator? I don't think women realize that it is possible for any man to become sexually deviant. Reading an article in Details magazine about Craigslist and their Casual Encounter's classifieds I read this and was only mildly surprised...

(paraphrasing)

"Many people come here and find that they are interested in something that they never thought of before, one man had sex with another man's wife while the husband watched... 'it wasn't something on my to-do list, but I saw the ad and thought, what the heck'."

It all comes back to having moral integrity, knowing what your limits are, setting boundaries for yourself and not crossing them. The problem with the boundaries is now days they are blurred or non-existent. There isn't anyone out there saying, "Stop, don't do that!" Instead we have shows like MTV encouraging wild sex and even making statements like, "Getting AIDS is not a death sentence."

I think it is easy to ignore the fact that America is a guilded box, pretty on the outside, but rotting within. I wonder how many children have to be molested, how many people have to be raped, and how many people have to have to have an STD before people start to think about the consequences of their actions?

We're going to hell in a handbasket, but all America cares about is, "What kind of basket is it!?! Is it comfortable? Does it feel good? Is it pretty? Does it make me look fat? Is it a Longaberger?" No one even stops to think about the final destination.

Fresh Meat

What is it about these reality shows that are so fascinating? Well... in the case of MTV's new reality show - Fresh Meat - the fascinating part is the cast of hot athletic girls. It's a winning combination. You take a girl like Anna Kournikova and yes, she is pretty hot, but when you add in the fact that she plays tennis (and not all that well mind you) then BAM! she is a super hottie. Then we have Maria Sharapova, Jenny Finch, Elena Dementieva, and Mia Hamm to name a few more female athletes that are hot, but super hot because they play sports.

So MTV has figured out that we love to watch young attractive people competing against each other, backstabbing, and in general creating a lot of drama. The reason why we love to watch is because the good side of us, the side with the angel on our shoulder, watches in shock and says, "Oh, I can't believe that!" However, the devil in us wishes that we could be on the show, battling it out, creating drama and not living our 9-5 lives that are somewhat dull in comparison.

The interesting thing about MTV is that they keep bringing back the same people - especially if they were extremely dramatic in the past - like Coral. Coral can't say 3 words without including the F word or something offensive...

And speaking of offensive - did you see the offense the Mavs put on the Suns? Yes, we won game 3 95-88. We had a Mavericks watch party at Dave and Busters and I had the worlds largest headache. It felt like Michelangelo was inside my head carving my brain into the Pieta. With a game on Friday night, a 20 mile bike ride on Saturday, a 3 mile run on Sunday, ManiAAC practice and a watch party on Sunday I did something I have never done on Memorial Day - I stayed home and relaxed. I caught up on emails and some phone calls and then I just vegged out on the couch.

How was your weekend?

The Kindness of Strangers

Yesterday I decided to go for a 20 mile bike ride. I hydrated well and loaded up my iPod with a great playlist and then headed out in the hot sun with hopes to sweat off about 2000 calories. The temperature yesterday was in the mid 90's and since I don't want to have an uneven tan on my face I didn't wear a headband or sunglasses. About 3 miles into the ride I was sweating like Saddam Hussein hiding in the desert. My eyes were drenched in salty sweat and fortunately I had enough sense to wear wrist bands so that I could wipe my face. The thing about wiping your face repeatedly with salty sweat is that after a while it start to burn. The salt dries on your face and pretty soon every time you wipe you have the sensation that you are getting a micro-dermabrasin facial.

Despite the discomfort I continue to ride. I wish that I had a place to ride where there aren't any cars because I am constantly afraid that I am going to run into someone or someone is going to hit me as I ride through the suburbs of Plano. Yesterday I decided to ride so far that I would be away from the city and perhaps I would have the opportunity to ride without having to pause for so many cars. I succeeded. I rode out so far from my house that I was in between Allen and McKinney and their were more cows than there were houses. Finally I reach a dead end and I know I am about 10 miles from my house and so I turn around and head home. When I get about 9 miles from my house my chain does something funky and totally torques itself into oblivion. I pull over and investigate and at the exact time it breaks this dude rolls up and says, "Hey, is it broke?" I say, "yep". He gets out of his truck and tries to help me fix it and then he offers to take me home. On the way to my house he tells me that he started riding because he had by-pass surgery 4 years ago and the riding helped him to stay in shape. He then went on to tell me that I needed to wear a helmet and that I needed to purchase some White Lightning lubricant for my bike chain once I got it repaired. He was extremely nice and I thanked God for sending him along. If he hadn't stopped and helped I would have had to walk back 9 miles with my bike in tow and trust me - that is a long slow walk.

So a big thanks to Mr. Wilson for the ride home yesterday. I have become a bit jaded about helping people out and I am not sure I would have been so kind to someone in my situation, but now that I have been extended the hand of kindness, I won't be so hesitant to do the same.

P.S. This site design was created as a tribute to our troops. This Memorial Day weekend be sure and thank God that we live in such a great country and thank our armed forces for doing what they do.

Channel 11 with Beth Wagner


This morning we did a quick media shoot with Beth Wagner from Channel 11. Beth was extremely nice and very fun to work with. With over 60 appearances this year including games we have the opportunity to meet a lot of different people, some are really nice, some not so much. Beth was super nice and I really enjoyed myself this morning despite the early hour.

Tonight we play game 2 against the Spurs and I am praying that Steve Nash has an off night.

We are performing our Blues Brothers routine tonight and it is always more fun to perform when the team is doing well and so I am praying that we play well tonight.

GO MAVS!!!

I've been naughty...

I got a comment from a subordinate member of The Blog Patrol giving me a citation for not posting in "FOREVER". Talk about an exaggerator. I bet when they were a kid they would tell their mom, "I am STARVING!!!" And then their mom would say, "No you aren't, the people in Ethipia are starving." I need to re-evaluate who I have on The Blog Patrol...

It is true though, I have been busier than a long-tailed cat in a room full of rockers. Every night this week I have been tied up with ManiAAC/Maverick activities, but heck, we are in the WESTERN CONFERENCE FINALS!!!! This is the big time and if the world famous Maverick ManiAACs are going to be on Jay Leno or David Letterman someday then we have to work hard during this crucial time.

So shame on me for not blogging more. It is just that I have given up a lot of the things that I love since this is a once in a lifetime opportunity. I had to miss the American Idol finale last night (Go Taylor Hicks - I knew you were going to win!) and the final show on Tuesday night. I have missed most of Scrubs this season due to ManiAAC scheduling conflicts and I have put friends and family on ice until we win the National Championship.

Tomorrow morning the ManiAACs will be at the AAC to help with the "Lovely Lady Dunks" contest and so be watching for us on channel 11.

Later Gators.

My Cousin Chanc Fights!

It's a short clip, but it is posted here.

I am really proud of this kid, he has grown up to be a great guy.

Mavericks Beat the Spurs! 119-111 in OT

Man, I was watching the game at the Mavs watch party at Dave and Busters in Dallas and I almost crapped my pants I was so nervous!!

Then we won and I peed my pants just a little.

Wow.

It.

Is.

Blowing.

MY.

MIND!!

What a year to be a ManiAAC!!!

What a year to be a Mavs Fan!

Much love to all my Mavs fans and thanks to all of you who have called and emailed when you've seen me on TV and even when you didn't. I appreciate the love.

Go Mavs! Go Mavs! Go Mavs!

Man Cleavage and Testicular Chafing

Hey, if you kept reading after that title then you are on your own, you have no one to blame but yourself. Also, I am not posting pictures of either and it is not as disgusting as that colon cleansing post that I read over on Jes' site. (the things you girls write about... insert head shake here)

This weekend after I shaved my entire upper body I decided I needed to get some sun on my cranium to even out my color. I slipped into some really comfortable shorts without putting on any underwear because I thought it would be fine. I mean riding a bike is not like playing ultimate frisbee, or doing a ManiAAC dance routine - there are really no parts to jostle about and so I thought going commando would be fine. Besides, the shorts that I was wearing are super soft and they breathe really well and I thought it would be really comfortable to not wear restrictive undergarments. So I am riding along and everything is quite comfortable and breezy, then I start sweating like a banshee and things start to chafe and I am 5 miles into my ride and I have 5 more miles to get back home. At first it isn't too uncomfortable, but by the time I get home I can barely ride or walk and the burning is comparable to that time I flew over my handle bars while riding downhill and I landed superman style on the asphalt. Yep. That painful.

A hot shower and some Gold Bond Select comfort soothed the chafing tremendously and I made a mental note not to make that mistake again.

You single ladies might not know this but when a guy sleeps on his side if he has any chest at all he will have cleavage. Well, that cleavage can be quite uncomfortable if it has been recently shaved with a pair of clippers. The hair is just long enough that it is prickly. I tried to sleep, but everytime I rolled on my side I would prick myself and wake up. I finally got up and put on a t-shirt and was able to sleep.

So the moral of this story is - don't go commando when going for a 10 mile bike ride and don't shave your chest.

Maybe I will start fighting in UFC Cage Fights! Maybe...

This weekend has been a blurrito! (that means little bit of a blur in Spanish)

Friday night the Mavericks lost to San Antonio and so we have game 7 tomorrow night. I fasted all day and prayed that they would win - okay, not really, but I sure hope they win tomorrow night.

Saturday my parents brought me a washer and dryer. YEAH! I have been using the apartment laundry mat for 2 years now and having a free nice washer and dryer rocks. Thanks Ma and Pa!

Saturday night I drove to Admore, Oklahoma, one of the most biggest podunk places I have been in a while, to see Chanc Gomez, my cousin, fight in a cage fight. When I was getting dressed I almost wore my camo shorts and a sleeveless t-shirt, but I changed my mind at the last minute and dressed a little nicer. When I got to the auditorium I realized had I left on the camo shorts and sleeveless shirt I would have been dressed like 50% of all the other red necks in the place. The sleeveless shirt, the camo shorts, and the goatee - it was like a uniform or soemthing.

Chanc lost the fight. I know, yuck. But it was fun watching him even for a little bit and I applaud his bravery for getting in there in the first place. I am not sure I have the cajones to do that, but I sure am thinking about it. I just need to start training and fighting and maybe I will be the first Mavericks ManiAAC turned UFC fighting champion. maybe.

So Saturday rocked and rocked hard and I had a great time seeing my Aunt Jan and Uncle Chris and all my cousins.

Sunday I had to get up and go workout. I shaved my entire upper body on Saturday - including my head - and so I felt like I was already heading down the path to start training for UFC. I am not kidding. I even did some extra punching exercises with weights just in case I decide to fight some day.

Sunday night the ManiAACs went to a recital at Fair Park music hall. Our amazing instructor Shella Sattler had 57 different acts to show that day including the girl dancers and us. It was fun being there for her because she is so awesome. I am serious, I can't say enough good things about Shella. She makes us work hard and sometimes she is demanding, but in the in you respect her for it and you love her for it. She is a big reason why being a ManiAAC is so rewarding.

Well, I am off to bed now. I skipped dinner so I can start getting ripped for my upcoming fights. I plan to look like Maven from Tough Enough before I am done.

And to Sgt. Pepper, I got to give you a shout out! You guys are totally representin' for the Mavericks and that is awesome. You and the Mavs Army rock!

Night all.

Tony Parker's Girlfriend is a real Desperate House Wife!

Listen to these guys rap about the Spurs - and how lame they are.


Super Fans Mavericks 2


Go Mavericks!

We are still going to win tonight even if Jason Terry got suspended! You can't stop us!

My Lips Are Puffy and Swollen

Illustration by Jes of Just Say Jes -thanks Jes!

From Making out with the T.V. Screen...

No, it's not the lyrics to a new hit song by Fall Out Boy, even though it does sound like a lyric they would write. No. It's the truth.

Every time I see Sarah Chalke on Scrubs my heart races, my blood pressure goes up and I am drawn to the screen the way ants are drawn to a pile of sugar. She is what every man wants - vulnerable, a little messed up -but not too much, beautiful, smart, funny, quirky - yep, EVERY MAN wants this ladies so make a note.

So there I am watching her on-screen last night and as I sat near the T.V. I closed my eyes and pressed my lips to hers. I looked deep into her eyes and I said, "Sarah, will you marry me and have my baby?" Because I know we would have great kids and she would be the coolest mom and since she is a doctor she could totally fix our kids if they ever got sick or broke a bone. I know that in real life she might not act like Dr. Elliot Reid, her character on Scrubs, but that's okay, we could do these little pretend sessions where we play like she is a doctor.

And... on a slightly related, but different note since all of my friends are having babies, I have made a list of all the women I would like to have my baby. Note: this list does not include Angelina Jolie, or Christina Aguilera, or even Carmen Electra - I find them all extremely attractive, but they have all been soiled in my mind one way of the other. I just can't get over Christina with Billy Bob Thornton and the whole blood vile around the neck thing. Christina went ghetto for a while and when I saw her I kept imagining the way that she probably smelled, and it was stank. And Carmen Electra is married to the ever-freaky Dave Navarro who looks like a cross between a homeless man and Count Chocula.

All that being said, here is my list in the order of preferred conception:

Sarah Chalke
Jennifer Lopez
Jennifer Aniston
Jennifer Garner
Jennifer Love Hewitt
Evangline Lilly - From LOST
Eva Longoria
Keri Russell
Halle Berry
Courtney Cox
Mariah Carey
Jewel
Shakira
Catherine Zeta Jones
Salma Hayek
Gabrielle Union
Demi Moore
Cameron Diaz
Kirsten Dunst
Drew Barrymore
Zang Zi Yi
Marcia Cross

And why can't I remember that Asian girls name that was in Alley McBeal and Charlie's Angels? Add her to the end of this list and it is complete.

I think I am going to go into acting, I may not be able to marry one of these celeb hotties in real life, but maybe I could be the father of their children on T.V.

Hey, one can dream...

Mavericks Super Fans - Playoffs 2006

I'm in the Mavs Army! These guys really brought their A-K, I mean A-Game to the play-offs this year. It was so fun to see all the crazy fans and all of the dances and cheers they came up with.

If you don't know what a Super-Fan is, it's a person who dresses up and cheers in order to get into the game free. There are certain groups that really put on some hilarious cheers and I have some video footage of some of them that I will post soon.

Tomorrow night there will be a Mavericks watch party at Dave and Busters in Frisco at the Stonebriar Mall - I will be there and you should come too if you are in the area!!

"You Texas People"

This was a conversation I had in an email with my Cousin Chanc. He is fighting in a UFC cage fight this weekend. If he says, "You Texas People" again he might be in a non-cage fight with me this weekend too. haha.

"Hey are you coming bye yourself this weekend?"

"What time is the fight and where? I need directions and times"

"The doors open at 630 and its exit 32 and go east to C st"

"Um… you are forgetting that I haven’t been to Oklahoma in a while –do I just take 35 to exit 32? That is easy. But is there going to be signs? Does the place have a name? Can you describe the building?"

"You Texas people, Take i-35 north to Ardmore exit 32 go east into town that will turn into Broadway its right on the corner of Cst and broadway"

"Yes, unfortunately, unlike everyone in OKC, we can’t read minds."

Waiting with breath that is bated...

The title of this post comes from a line in Sex in the City, but it is perfect for the way I am feeling right now.

I grew up in Sanger, Texas, a town of roughly 4,000 people, and a lot of cows, a lot horses, and a lot of chickens. We lived in a 2 bedroom trailer and I slept in the living room until our house burned down after being struck by lightning in 1990. We then moved to another trailer home, albeit a much nicer one, about a month later. At the age of 12 I worked at a horse ranch cleaning stalls and feeding horses. From 13-17 I worked for the Lemmons who owned a nice house that I cleaned and newspaper where I labeled papers.

We were all in homeschool when the house burned down and many of our books were burned and the entire debacle ended up really putting me behind in school. One day when I was at church the principal of Liberty Christian saw me and said, "Hey, you need to come back to Liberty and play football." My parents could not afford the 360 dollar a month tuition and so I ended up getting to back to school there on a football scholarship.

After graduation I worked as a janitor at the post office, I drove a special ed bus and I worked as a janitor at a kindergarden in the evenings while taking 11 hours of college. Things were very busy, but after 8 years of working various jobs to put myself thru college, I finished without any student loans and no college debt.

I worked at Boeing for a while building air plane cables and then left there, lived with my sister for 6 months and went to SMU for an MCSE - a microsoft certificati0n that guaranteed a lucrative position - it did. At one point I was working as a contractor making 35 dollars an hour. For one month I had a bring home check of 8,000 dollars - I thought I had hit the big time. That position didn't last and so I took a more secure position making great money at a place called Custom Food Group. The people were nice, but the hours were long and my responsibilities were impossible. After nearly having a nervous breakdown at 24 I quit.

I tried to become a teacher but that didn't work out despite the fact that I emailed my resume to every single school in Texas - public, private, Buddhist, Muslim, you name it, I tried to get a job there and I never did. I finally settled for a job at Texas Instruments. When I interviewed for the job here I prayed to God that I wouldn't get it. 2 months went by and I didn't hear anything and so I assumed that I didn't get it. Then I got a call and I got the job. It was a contract position and so the pay was 17,000 less than what I was making at Custom Food Group. The only upside was the fact that when 5 o'clock rolled around I didn't ever have to work late like I did at the previous job.

After 2 and 1/2 years in the grueling helpdesk I finally worked my way into the posiiton I have now - however, I am still a contractor and that means that I don't have the same benefits as regular T.I. employees have. I work through a company called Ajilon and I have been working here now for 4 years. The problem with being a contractor is that you don't get the great benefits of other TI employees. You don't get profit sharing or employee stock purchasing options and you don't get the great health benefits.

Well, I just found out this week that all of that is about to change. I was offered a position as a T.I. employee and it is almost like winning the lottery for me.

I want to thank all of you internet, for your prayers and love and support. For listening to me gripe, for putting up with my petulance, and for loving me unconditionally.

And if you read through this entire post then that means you must really love me because it was long and boring.

The Great Butt Rap Off - Revisited

This was so much fun when we did it last year and today I was reading through some of these and laughing my butt off - no pun intended.

MsThang said...

Other men just cant compare
or compete with my deriere

Eddo said...
O.M.W.!!!! That was too funny, let me try...

Captain sphincter your rhyme is broke
Like your flat buttocks it's such a joke
You only wish you had my rear
makes women grin from ear to ear
I'll put no buttvertising on your ass
When I saw your picture I said, "I'll Pass!"

CAPTAIN S.O.S. said...
Eddo so large and juicey

Eddo said...
Captain SOS is all lotso talk
His butt so flat he can barely walk
His pants are baggin, his jeans is old
His mouth is full of Fool's Gold
He wishes that his butt was glitter
Cause then he wouldn't be so bitter
I told him he bes not step to this
Or his broke butt I'd have to dis
I feel bad for him cause my butt is bank,
And all the ladies told me - CAPTAIN SOS' BUTT IS STANK!!!

CAPTAIN S.O.S. said...
As tears are streaming down my face
Theres a vision I just cant erase
Eddo shakin ass on the dance floor
with little girlies runnin to the door"
HIS ASS KNOCKED MY GIRLFRIEND TO THE GROUND!"
When he's by the speakers you cant hear no sound
God forbid you ever see that bare
like Chewbaka its got too much hair
The captains butt is smooth and pretty
makes the ladies all giddy
its cool just cut down on the lunches
"Bally Fitness" has aerobics and crunches


jes said...
oh what have i been missin'
eddo and captain are each dissin
'but-you-ain't-seen-nothin
unless-you've-glanced-at-my-muffin!
you can eat cookies and custard

cause nothing can come close
to the bootie that i boast
so you boys just need to jump back
my ass is whack
and you can't compare with that
you ready for an attack?
you oughta KNOW that i'm ready for combat!

CAPTAIN S.O.S. said...
Jes I think your style is slippin

Sorry I dont mean to be rude
but ya stepped to me and now you screwed
maybe you an eddo need combine yo powers
Like two big butt twin towers
I think Im done
fo' you grab yo gun
(Eddo still fills up showers)


jes said...
captain you're misinformed
tho i understand your body is deformed
what you've got in your trunkain't enough
to garner the worship of a chinese monk
i've developed somewhat of a following
sorry to leave you, i know you'll be wallowing
in your own misery once you see
that your words are nil to the highest degree
so get back to your sphincter
before it gets any pinker
cause i whoop ass whereever i go
and honey, you're about to have an electric glow.

And Eddo finishes with one more that is new to this post...

Captain SOS thought he brought it
But brotha nobody bought it...
We all know your butt is white
And my butt is DY-NO-MITE!

When people see your butt they scream
It's so pimply that it is obscene
Like a freakshow at the fair
Your butt's so ugly it's rare

On the front page of the Globe
Your butt they had to probe
Cause it must have came from outer space
and it looks just like your face!

But Eddo has buns of steel
No need for crunches or diet meals
All he needs is lots of protection
From the ladies that want his affection

So Captain SOS you need to bounce
Cause brotha you just got trounced
You thought you had Jes and I beat
But we don't even know how to spell defeeet.

12:24 PM




Cookie723 said...


Someone go rescue Capt!! He's had a heart attack!
Well, so have I after another round of these hilarious raps...I don't know about anyone else but is anyone else actually reading, excuse me, RAPPING these aloud? I am, hence the tears from laughter.



12:27 PM




Eddo said...


Captain SOS? More like Captain Crunch
When you start dissin' Eddo
You better pack a lunch
Cause it's gonna be a really long day
Better ask your mommy if you can go out and play
Yo stories are cheap and so are your tricks
When it comes to my body
I'm stacked like bricks
Banging booty, abs and chest
In this competition I am the best

NBC has sold you out
That show is a joke
Like your butt - No Doubt

So take your butt and your camera crew
Cause Captain Crunch I am through with you.



12:27 PM




Cookie723 said...


Oh please, Ed, continue on with the 'street verbage'-nice.

Cookie723 said...

12:55 PM




Eddo said...


SOS you are the cheese
You constipate even Hercules

Party Pooper is your real name
You've got no style, you have no game

You need to realize what you are up against
This ain't no joke, I came to reprezent!
I am tired of you, you big Chester Cheetah
Take yourself home and don't forget your Velveeta...

Yeah, that's what I'm talkin' bout!

2:39 PM




Katie said...


I leave for an hour or so and OMW

Uhhh Eddie Capt SOS might know a little bit about Clay Aiken, I'm pretty sure that in his CD collection

I'm not getting in the middle of this one, SOS can call me out all he wants, I know that you two are way out of my league (or maybe it's the other way around, hmmmm . . . . . )



2:51 PM




MsThang said...


KT.. you do have a point.. he named it as one of the CD's in his collection! And I agree they are way out of YOUR league!



2:55 PM




CAPTAIN S.O.S. said...

Eddo said...


No SOS, I think you win the Title of "The Great Butt Rapper!" Lol!

Congrats GBR!



3:03 PM




MsThang said...


LOL stalkers!

(raises up hand)

Talk to the palm because I am da bomb!



3:03 PM




Katie said...


Uhh, no stalking just a great memory (can't help it I just have skillzzzz (yep worth the four z's))

Stalking would be lurking on your site for days on end . . . .



3:06 PM




jes said...


you guys, this is sooo funny. as i read each word i was totally rapping along. steve, when you come in town we're totally going to have a WEEKEND of gamenights, in which we play settlers, other games, and have a rap-off. :)



3:31 PM




Amstaff Mom said...


I'm with Jes.



3:34 PM




Eddo said...


Jes, we so needed your rap skillz today...



3:35 PM




Katie said...


Can Jes rap in my place?



3:35 PM




CAPTAIN S.O.S. said...


OK then I am the great Butt rapper
While Eddo still stuck on the crapper
Now go figure
thats just his luck
Stuck to his ass like a suction cup

Enough of my pitter-patter
Get back to your twinkie platter
Im the best
sound the alarm
I got great ass like a donkey farm

Thats just how I roll
An ass highway paved in Gold
I am the man
A white-ass Villian
With my butt raps Im thrillin

Thanks for puttin up with my ego
I know you hate to see me go
so grab some change
bounce quarters off my assa
Bet they fly higher than NASA

Peace!!



3:41 PM




CAPTAIN S.O.S. said...


i just... cant... stop...



3:43 PM




Katie said...


Eddie = Captain SOS

I swear the two of you share the same mind, if not the same butt



3:51 PM




jes said...


I was just walkin' down the hall,
Minding my biz
When I guy said "hello" and as I passed, "Damn, y'all!"
He stopped, but I kept goin'
His jaw was dropped tho I didn't start slowin;

Cause I knew he was staring
And in his mind comparing
My sweet, juicy peach
To Captain's hind-end leech

Sucked, Withered, Shriveled away
NBC is planning a special on his lack of display
He and Eddo are rappin
People are clappin
They have yet to turn around
And show their arse – the burial ground



5:03 PM




CAPTAIN S.O.S. said...


Jes why you tryin to bring game?
When yo rappin skills (with an "s") are lame?
Cause I gots da skillZ
dat come with da "Z"
we all know you really LOVE Andy

MTV called they got letters dat you write
Saying you think Andy is SO tight
He makes you all hot
And he makes you dream
of Milonakis doused in Whipping cream

You say Just say JES I say Just say no
You should try some straightner for your "fro"
I know that you be cute
In That Tiara dat sparkle
Only Texans call ROshambo gay-ass FARKLE

So go write another letter to dear "Mary"
Oh my gosh you come across so mean and scary
You told her
with yo yelling and yo screaming
"Juicey Peach"?? you are dreamin



6:00 PM




Heather said...


And he brings out the big guns.



6:06 PM




jes said...


Captain's style is wanting
While Eddo's confronting
Somethin' bout cheddar, somethin' bout soufflé
Please, mama! Get them each a cafeteria tray!

They're hungry, they're stuffing
They're huffing and puffing
Trying to mimic my glutes
They ought to just forget it,
And get a couple of bus routes.

I walk by, all the guys cry
Cause my back is sweet like apple pie
Put me in water
And I'll float like William Bligh

Cap'ns confused,
He needs to be rescued
From these hallucinations.
He couldn't even be saved
By the Bush Administration.

He thinks he's got Skills with a Z
He must have been told dat my the A.A.R.P.
Come to think of it, that must be why
His sounds is inferior, like MCI.



8:59 AM




Katie said...


Jes you are inviting wrath like no other . . . . .



9:23 AM




jes said...


haha, i was making myself laugh this morning while i wrote that. especially the bit about the AARP. ha!



9:37 AM




Eddo said...


Jessica, Jessica, Why dost thou start?
That rap so lame it was like a fart
It stunk up the air, it stunk up the room
I had to sweep it off the floor with a broom!

I know you want to shake your lump
You think men get love drunk on your hump
But girl that thing is a little ol' bump
You need to ghetto-size that rump!

You can't hang with us big boys so please don't try
We'll send you packin, we'll make you cry...



10:08 AM




jes said...


Eddo, apparently you haven't seen
My big ghetto bootie – a size 14.
It's like a big shelf on my back
I make boys go wiggity-wiggity-wiggity-WHACK!

I have no problems shaking my rump
But YOU need to get help from a hydraulic pump.
I hear yo' words about that fart,
But smellin yours earned me the purple heart.

I see ya clutchin and trying to hang on
But my skillz are recorded in the Gospel of John
So honey don't ya start trippin'
Unless ya WANT TO GET A WHIPPIN.



10:40 AM




Katie said...


Eddie - your google ads are FREAKING me out again.



11:02 AM




jes said...


ads about moisturizer & lip balm are freaking you out, KT?



11:07 AM




Katie said...


It won't copy but this is what it says for me:

Fragrant Vagina Mist
Sweetspot Labs PH balanced spray for a healthier and balanced vagina


Enough said.



11:37 AM




Heather said...


KT - I think Eddo posted that one just for you.



11:51 AM




Eddo said...


Jes, that last rap was hilarious!!

"But my skillz are recorded in the Gospel of John"

Too bad I am going to have to slam it right back at ya...



12:34 PM




Eddo said...


Wide Load Coming Through...
Butt so big people yell Choo Choo!
They thought it was a train
It had them trippin'
That butt's so big
Why aren't those pants rippin?

Shimmy Shimmy in your jeans
That butt is bangin people scream
They scream in terror they scream in fright
Girl that but has been super-sized.

I was wrong I must confess
Jes you win the big butt contest...

When people pass they'll say "Dear Lord!,
Look at that girls butt - IT'S A BIG BILLBOARD!"



12:40 PM




CAPTAIN S.O.S. said...


*work-schmirk... cracking knuckles*



1:10 PM




CAPTAIN S.O.S. said...


it goes "one for the treble"
"two for the bass"
"Jes's ass fills up this place!"

She rolls! From here to there
not a juicy peach but a big ass pear
The Gospel of John
Girl thinks that she has sass
Girl you are the book of DaLARDYASS

This is a game only for da boys
You aint digital your poliroid
is that a chair?
Stuck to your rear-end?
I gots more power than Superfriends

I gots da wonder I gots da Super
I have the worlds most powerful pooper
Im leavin Eddo out
Im the verbal master
when you walk in rooms you crack plaster



1:26 PM




Katie said...


and so it begins . . . . .



1:39 PM




jes said...


Uh-huh. Yeah, right. Check this:

My bootie is ghetto, and that's a fact
But it hasn't violated the respiratory tract.
Too bad no one can say the same
About your bootie's claim to fame

Ya see, Eddo and his MONSTROUS rear
Suffocate the room, causing death so severe.
He walks in and people can't breathe
His ass is bigger than JLo's on-screen.

He can't even shop at the big and tall
He has to sew his clothes after the curtain call
When enough cloth drops down to cover one cheek
Better watch out – he may spring a leak
Cause his ass is bigger than a mountain peak.

S. – O. – S.
Is scrambling, trying to find a way
Hastily, swiftly, that is to say
He's on his way out, his raps are a mess
He has yet to slam me with success.

He said something about a Polaroid.
He sounds more like he's unemployed.
And boy, can't you spell?
A-ring-a-ding-ling: that's the warning bell.

You're bragging about your world's most powerful pooper
Your mother must have been quite a trooper
I, for one, won't discuss my bowel movements
Though it looks like you keep a list of your accruements

We know you say you're a cutter
But it's probably more like a sputter
So we'll leave you with your diarrhea.
Smuggled across the Canadian border
in a mammoth tortilla.



1:51 PM




Cookie723 said...


I'm more frightened by this seriously scary rap-off than I was by those ads, Katie!
Yikers! (Way to go, Jes!!)



1:58 PM




Amstaff Mom said...


y'all are like fine wine
only getting better with time
yep, that's the extent of my rhyme.

Seriously, I'm dying over here.



2:01 PM




Eddo said...


My mail filter keeps filtering your raps out! LOL!

Jes, Please! I am bout to destroy you!!!



2:02 PM




CAPTAIN S.O.S. said...


Yeah.. yeah.. uuhh huuhhh...get yo game on.. yeah yeah

Spiggy spat yippy dippy doo
big butter butt I dump on you
When you order food
Its a quadruple order
Crack-smoker? Tortillas from the canadian border?

Yo what? Yo HUH? GET YOU GAME ON??


triple dipple super ass
bigger than a barge
My ass is priceless like Mastercard
3 days of rappin
the cap'n is da man!
I am gonna whoop your ass at Settlers of Catan!

Yo yiggy yep dont talk about my mother
You from down in Texas are you married to your brother?
You drive a pinto me I drive da Lexus
i look at you and realize ALL things are big in Texas



2:06 PM




Anonymous said...


THE CARDBOARD IS OUT!!!



2:07 PM




Eddo said...


This just in! We had an Eclipse
Oh, it was just the sun being blocked by Jessica's Hips!

Lumber, Lumber, Lumber Jack-
I almost mistook that thing for a cadillac!

Planet Earth can't take much more
Jes' but is such an eyesore
Uranus look out, here comes your equal
It's gonna be big and it already had a sequel...
"Giganto Butt" it's a number one hit
Too bad that butt is all counterfeit.

Jes we are on to you and your big ol' butt
We know why you have to strut
You got two big hams stuffed down your pants
Butt so full you can barely dance

You wish so bad you had the mega booty
But all you got is a tiny fruity
No Georgia Peach, more like a cherry
The other day someone called it a cranberry
Your but girl is a Pirates Dream
Sunken Booty if you know what I mean
You better take your butt doctor back to court
And sue that man for more butt support
Cause those implants you got, must have come from the black market
It's time you take your butt home.. And park it!



2:11 PM




Eddo said...


What? cardboard? Are you about to start Break Dancing? Why do people keep saying that!?!?!?!



2:16 PM




jes said...


Cap'n don't know nothing bout Settlers of Catan
He couldn't figure it out if he was the Miracle Man
He makes up words, thinkin they rhyme.
Good thing I got here in the nick of time.

You got Texas confused with Arkansas
You better step back – better yet, withdraw.
I'm from Seattle, straight from the hood
And I'll pop a cap if I'm misunderstood.

You think the Northwest is where it's at.
You forget all those hills make your ass real flat
You better drive that Lexus up to the store
And pick up some Miracle Gro to sprinkle on yur back door.



2:16 PM




CAPTAIN S.O.S. said...


Your but girl is a Pirates Dream
Sunken Booty if you know what I mean


YES!!! thats a good one!!



2:16 PM




CAPTAIN S.O.S. said...


ALRIGHT YOU ASKED FOR IT JES!! I AM BUSTIN YOUR ASS:

VANILLA ICE STYLE!!!!

Large Large Baby, Large Large Baby
All right stop, put down yo Donuts and listen
Cap’ns back With another round of Dissin’
Something bout yo ass is frightnin’
Harpoon you like a whale daily and nightly
Will it ever stop Growin? Yo - I don't know
You like a cosby character wid dat afro
To the extreme I rock an ass like a King
Light up your life Like Debbie Boone use ta sing


Dance, you make the floor go CRUNCH!!
Your killing yourself wid dat twelve course lunch
Deadly, when I rap a dope melody
yo there Jes I know that yo just jealous of me
Love it or leave it, You better gain way
Your ass is the bull's eye, every single day
if cookies where a problem, Yo, Jes would eat it
Check out Jenny Craig yo girl you need it

LARGE LARGE BABY!! LARGE LARGE BABY!!
YOU SO LARGE LARGE BABY!! LARGE LARGE BABY!!

Now that the party is jumping
Jes broke the floor with that ass she is thumpin
Im quick to the point to the point no faking
Jes is cookie up twelve pounds of Bacon
Eating them with links of pig
Damn you ever seen a girl so big?
Rollin' she’s a size 46.0
Rag top down so the Lard can flow
McDonalds on standby, Burgers stacked a mile high
Did she stop? Yes- she stops every time
if cookies where a problem, Yo, Jes would eat it
Check out Jenny Craig yo girl you need it

LARGE LARGE BABY!! LARGE LARGE BABY!!
YOU SO LARGE LARGE BABY!! LARGE LARGE BABY!!



2:38 PM




jes said...


OH. MY. GOSH, EDDIE.
You have me laughing.
Now I may have to send you packing

A Cadillac? Please.
You'd better get on your knees
And beg for mercy before this gets old
I'm going to pin you in a wrestling hold

One, two buckle my shoe
Three, four, I'm startin to feel sorry for…
Damn! Boy, you can't even bend over
Maybe you can get some help from your dog Rover.

That is, if you don't smother him first
With your three-hundred thirty pounds
Poor dog looks like he's about to burst.
Maybe you should just get a crane
Hook yourself up to a big jet plane.

It can try to fly, you can be the anchor.
Your weight will pull it down
Like a damaged oil tanker.

You think I have implants?
What about you and them stretch pants?
You've done broken the zipper
Torn the seam, like Jack the Ripper

Don your black sheet, it's okay.
Your ass is just wasting away
I heard the government's making plans
To send you off with Peter Pan

So you can eat imaginary food
And drop some weight
Cause that crane couldn't even lift you in a crate!
Forget the tanker, the anchor, the plane
Your ass has got you like a ball and chain.



2:39 PM




Eddo said...


SOS and Jes! I cannot be laughing like this when I am on the phone!!!

Now I guess I have to get dirty... and shut ya'll down for good.



2:47 PM




CAPTAIN S.O.S. said...


I will have to say that the Debbie Freakin Boone line wins!



2:49 PM




jes said...


Spinchter's style is droppin
He used to have it poppin
Like some fireworks on Fourth of July
He ought to just say Bye-Bye-Bye.

Rag top down so the Lard can flow?
What about that do you know?
Obviously, a lot.
Your butt is as wide as a 120 foot yacht.

Out in the country, up in Oregon
Year round you go for a ski run
Not on snow, not on ice
You ski on the fat of pigs with lice

Your head is itchy
Your arms are fat
Your eyes are beady
Like a chinchilla rat

Hold on, beware: he's like the bubonic plague
The grease is rollin and drippin down his leg

Cap'n should just enroll in Weight Watchers
Maybe he'd peel off some pounds
Meet the girl of his dreams
She'll be there too, slathered in cold cream



2:54 PM




Eddo said...


Your head is itchy
Your arms are fat
Your eyes are beady
Like a chinchilla rat

OMW!



3:01 PM




jes said...


eddie, will you make a separate page for site called "Rap-Off" (similar to "Marry Me" and "Admit") and include each individual rap from yesterday and today, chronologically? I went back to read through them, and I am laughing SO hard. it's totally obvious i'm not getting much work done.



3:06 PM




Eddo said...


Jes, she knows about the grease
She spoons it up and says, "Seconds Please!!"
Butt so big she needs a body wrap
Sweatin like a mummy... what's up with that?
She loves the gravy, she loves the taters
Her closest friends are all restaurant waiters!

She has to call the fire department to take a bath
She's 120X32342 you do the math



3:07 PM




Eddo said...


This will definitely have to have it's own page... I actually missed one of the SOS's because I scrolled too fast and I read it and nearly busted apart!



3:08 PM




Cookie723 said...


Thank you Jes - I am getting zippo done today seeing as every 15 minutes I shoot back here to see what I've missed...SOS, the tribute to Vanilla was fantastic! Jes & Ed. There aren't words to describe it.

Queen Boo-tay said...


Yo, Jes, let’s kick it!

Queen, Queen, Boo-tay,
Queen Queen Boo-tay
All right stop, back yo ass up and listen
Between Capt and Ed, there’s somethin missin
You fools been trying to rap all tightly
But yo butts are givin gals scares all nightly
Will it ever stop? Yo – I don’t know
Take a step back and I’ll give you a show
To the extreme I rock my ass like a scandal
Even with two hands you’ll never get a handle

Drop, my butt hits floors with a boom
A globe so big it even blocks out the full moon
Deadly, my ass if nice and meaty
Anything less than this is cheaty
Love it or leave it, you gotta respect
Your butts look like they just part of yo neck
If there is an ass brass, yo I got it
Check out my hook, while my girl Jes revolves it

Queen, Queen, Boo-tay,
You like my Queen Queen Boo-tay
Queen, Queen, Boo-tay,
You like my Queen Queen Boo-tay

I got some big chunk in this trunkin
The junk you got is seriously bunkin
Short on the hiney, yo boys you be fakin
Stuffin with charmin a booty you makin
Softy those asses are made of paper
You ain’t doin your butt any favors
Pancakes are what I see back there
Flat and smooth covered up with back hair
Bangin with my 10.0
Butt so good you never seen it’s twin-o
The boysies all hangin round hope’n catch a fly-by
Did you stop? No – I just shook it high
Wishin and cryin they want some of it
But their own butts be jealous I got so much sh*t

Yo – so I continued to a1a got-ass ave.
Eddo yo ass ain’t nothing like Arnuld
You might be big but your butt be carnal
Bangin and bumpin you tryin too hard
Think nothin of being a big ol gaytard
Captain you think you got all the skillz
sorry my brother you nothin but illz
Little and puney your butts got to go
Ain’t nothing to brag about that is fo sho
Ladies are naturally gifted in the rear
We pack it right were you boys like to jeer
Bumper to bumper you just can’t compare
Check out your backside and there’s nothing but air
Sorry to say, you know what I mean
Us girlies have the cheeks that cause all the scenes
We got it ridin all up in our caboose
Capt's backend's so empty even pleather be too loose
If there is an ass brass, yo I got it
Check out my hook, while my girl Jes revolves it

Queen, Queen, Boo-tay,
You like my Queen Queen Boo-tay
Queen, Queen, Boo-tay,
You like my Queen Queen Boo-tay

But nobody knows her face

Oompa Loompa who’s that girl
Seems the queen has got some swirl
Some be callin sista Jes
But it’s not her I must confess
The girl’s got skills that don’t compare
But she don’t got my shiny hair
Maybe I am Mr. Eddo
Come sit next to me, you fine fellow
Big and tall with calves of steel
Queenie eddo would be surreal
Could it be Captain SOS
His rappin skills I don’t possess
He got close to the answer
But ended up lookin like a square dancer
Sorry Capt you were mistaken
Seems this lady knows her bacon
I’m a sweetheart, I’m a lady
Cause Queen Boo-tay is none other than Katie



10:54 AM




jes said...


You messin
And pressin
Purely distressin
Cause KT's confessin

Captain thought
she was a lady
Turns out
that KT's kinda shady

She calls herself
The Queen Boo-tay
Her hair is as shiny
As a golden ray

She thinks she's so witty
She thinks she's so smart
She fooled the boys
With her crazy rapping art

She hipped, she hopped
The boys both dropped
Cap'n & Ed, you better scurry
Before KT and I
give you reason to worry!

How Bout Them Mavericks!!!

The Mavs lead the series 2-1 after defeating the Spurs at the AAC last night!!!

It was the best game, a real nail-biter as they say and the ManiAACs performed and so it was really one of my best nights as a Mavericks ManiAAC.

Now as a bonus, I have uploaded a really funny song that the Mavericks created and played last night during the game. I wish I had the footage that they paired it with. Manu Ginobli from the San Antonio Spurs is known for falling down and "flopping" at the slightest touch from an opposing player. He does it so often that it warranted a song - The Manu Flop.

I'm looking forward to Game 4 tomorrow!

Happy Mother's Day Mom...


My mom is amazing. She works nights at the police station and volunteers at McFadden Boy's Ranch on the weekends and takes care of her mother, and my dad, and two boys that live with her that needed a place to stay.

She gives and gives like Shel Silverstein's Giving Tree. I don't know any other woman that is quite like her. She is the perfect combination of mom and best friend. She drives 45 miles one way just to have lunch with me almost once a week. She drives to Oklahoma frequently to take care of her mom and has bent over backwards doing everything she can to make her mother comfortable and happy.

I got a lot of blessings in life, but the biggest one of all is my mom.

Happy Mother's Day mom! And Happy Mother's day to my sister Precious who is a mother for the first time this year! That is her little boy Aiden that my mom is holding.

A Hodge Podge of Stuff

Kiss FM Big Money What is That is up to 45,000+ and here is that sound if you want to here it for yourself, or if you want to listen to it and tell me what yout think it is so I can win the money.

The Secret Sound is Here!

The Toaster Question of the week...

Everything in Texas gets dusty, so does dust get in your toaster? How do you clean it out? Does it get burned up when you turn it on? IS MY TOAST DUSTY!!!??


Are you watching the Dallas Mavericks!?!?!

This weekend is game 3 of the play-offs where the Mavericks play the San Antonio Spurs. Who is watching? Who is rooting for Dallas? Who wants to go with me to see game 3 even if they have to sit alone? (I may have an extra game 3 ticket, but that is still up in the air)

ManiAAC practice tonight and we are performing at the game tomorrow. Part of our dance has that Bubbas Sparxxx song - "I found you Miss New Booty" - and "Let's get it on" by Marvin Gaye. I should upload the music since I can't ever get a video to post.

Well, happy Friday everyone and have a great weekend!

I'm Sorry

Okay, I'm back. I'm sorry I was being an immature petulant ass this week.

My boss told me some interesting news today that really told me a lot and nothing about my new position at work. It made me feel better and it frustrated me a little bit too. I am just tired and this isn't just work, it's my life and I have been trying to improve it for 4 years and so this change, if it ever happens will be life changing for me - so please keep praying for me.

I also owe Cody an apology for the donut post. What a lame ass I was for that. I took something way out of context and passive-aggressively attacked him online and that was so wrong of me. I already verbally apologized to him and now I want all of you to know that Cody is the best dude ever. He continues to amaze me with his maturiy levels even whenever I am immature. It is humbling.

This week has been challenging, but it has been a week of growth and I hope all my readers will forgive me for being a big baby this week. Please send me boxes of Pampers and a pacifier next time I act like this.

BOO FREAKIN' HOO!

I enumerated to a friend today why I have been in a funk this week.

1. Too High expectations set on people and when they don't meet my expectations I let it bother me too much - and sometimes I take it too personally.

2. I was at a friends house recently and he is older, married, with children, children that I used to mentor when I was a high school leader. He said to me, "We need to find you a girlfriend before you balloon up to 400 pounds."

3. New Job Interviews - I had a second interview last Friday and not hearing anything this week has put me on edge. It is that feeling you get when you want something really, really bad, but you don't dare allow yourself to hope too much because you don't want to be disappointed. Well, times that by 10 and you know how I feel because I have been trying for this for 4 years now.

4. I got a toll tag bill for $500 dollars and I have no way of proving that I didn't run the toll. I always pay - except for a couple of times, but shoot, I didn't run the thing 20 times like they are saying.

So, I will tell myself what Jim Trolio, a good friend of mine that I used to work with used to always say to me - BOO FREAKIN' HOO!!! No one wants to hear about your problems.

But a special thanks to those of you who sent kind words via email - it really helped a lot and you didn't even tell me to go get a can of "Suck It Up". Thanks!

A Foul Mood

I am in a foul mood. I get in these every now and then and it is a mood that cuts people off and burns bridges. The moods are normally brought on buy a series of unfortunate events that cause me to lash out at people.

I am still in this mood so don't expect any apologies now, some might come later, but I doubt it.

The World Doesn't Stop...

I fell off my bike and scraped my knee
I hurt my leg when I fell out of that tree
I fell down a hill and hit a rock
Despite my pain - The world didn't stop.

I dislocated my shoulder, I lost my job
I lost my tooth eating corn on the cob
I wanted it cold, all I got was hot
and all the while - The world didn't stop.

I fell in love, my heart was broke
I lost faith, it was no joke
I cried so much I needed a mop-
But guess what - The world didn't stop.

I had a dream, I had a goal
my plans fell throuh, a big fat hole
I gave too much, all I've got.
But the damn world won't pause, it just won't stop.

I dared to hope, to try again
To live right, stay away from sin
but what I didn't remember,
What I continually forgot
No matter what - the World doesn't stop.

I grew so weary, I grew so tired
Tired of life, unending desire
I bent over backwards - I flipped. I flopped!
But man alive, the world won't stop.

I'd like a moment, a reality break
Maybe a miracle - even an earthquake;
Somebody help me, please call the cops!
The world is coming... and I can't make it stop.

Mammogram - This one is for you ladies

A fiftyish woman was at home, happily jumping on her bed and squealing with delight.
Her husband watched her for a while and then asked, "Do you have any idea how ridiculous you look? What's the matter with you?"

The woman continued to bounce on the bed and said, "I don't care. I just came from having a mammogram and the doctor says I have the breasts of an 18 year-old."

The husband said, "What did he say about your 55 year-old ass?"

"Your name never came up", she replied.

Meredith's Regret - Finished

Part 1 in a short story series:

Prologue

The blazing fire scorched Samantha’s skin, but she did not stop. She didn’t dare stop. With frenzied hands she cast every book she owned into the infernal blaze. Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, The Chronicles of Narnia, her entire collection of Jane Austen and Edgar Allen Poe, even The Grinch glowed brilliantly red and gold in the wickedly hot blaze.

Beads of perspiration collected on her forehead and stung her shallow wounds. Her fair skin, once lovely and porcelain, was now a marred mask of red welts and scrapes – souvenirs from her most recent trip down Crazy Lane...

Chapter 1

Friday had started like any other day; a tall upside-down caramel macchiato from Starbucks, a cinnamon scone, and thirty minutes of reading. This particular morning she was reading Meredith’s Regret by Genevieve Davies. She had found it at Second-Hand Harry's shoved between a copy of Run’s With Scissors by Augusten Burroughs and A Million Little Pieces by James Frey. Second-Hand-Harry's lacked organization, but made up for it with the most intriguing eclectic selection.

Meredith’s Regret was a large voluminous hardback boasting at least 900 pages. Purple and blue swirls decorated the cover and the title was embossed in a metallic gold. It caught Samantha's eye immediately. The orange circle price tag had .99 scrawled on it in blue ink. What a steal, Samantha thought, and then she purchased it without hesitation.



***

Plain as vanilla ice cream, people hardly noticed Samantha. Hair the color of peaches, it would have been pretty if it hadn’t been so coarse. It hung straight down on the sides of her head like straw in a broom. Her face was plain, her glasses were thick, and the only thing special about her was her skin. It was clear, fine pores, creamy smooth – unfortunately it was wasted on such a bland face whose only outstanding feature was a bird-like nose.

Part 1 1/2

Friday moved along at the pace of a sloth on Ambien, Samantha longed to be free from the prison of her cubicle so that she could escape to be with her favorite companion – a book. Her books rarely let her down, and they never required long-term commitment. They didn’t cheat on you, or stand you up, and they never made fun of you. A book could be your best friend, your lover, a teacher, a priest. This weekend she planned to spend the entire weekend poring through Meredith’s Regret and losing herself in a world so much different than her own.

When she arrived home that evening she quickly made a pitcher of mango green tea and picked up a box of buttery Girl Scout cookies. She opened the patio door and sat in her favorite green chair and began to read.

Meredith's Regret - Chapter 1

Meredith was cold - cold on this inside and out. Her life had not been filled with years of marital bliss and love, but with abuse and hate. As a little girl she had dreamed of being a nurse and eventually a mother, she had reached both of those goals, but as the Bible says, "The Lord giveth and the Lord taketh away" and take he did.

Samantha continued to read enthralled by the horrific tale of Meredith. A tale of suffering that started with the loss of her children to beatings from a jealous husband. Once a pretty girl, Meredith's ugliness on the inside had transformed her on the outside. Her hatred for herself had become so great that it manifested into a form of evil and that evil gave Meredith a supernatural power.

Putting the book down for a moment Samantha felt an uneasiness starting to build within her. She got up and made sure that the door was locked. The patio door was still open and despite the warm breeze that was coming in, Samantha was cold. She slipped into a sweater and pulled an afghan around her legs. She hugged herslef for a moment and let her mind wander about Meredith. Without realizing it she found herself nibbling on a butter cookie. Then she felt something tickling her hand and when she looked at the cookie again it started to crumble into tiny little pieces and each piece started turning black. Immediately she threw the cookie onto the floor and started spitting out what was left in her mouth. She wretched violently and wiped her mouth with the back of her sleeve. Standing now she watched as the black spots that had once been a cookie started to move. Like tiny little ants the pieces started to take shape.

Frightened and fascinated Samantha could not believe her eyes. A million thoughts ran through her mind: call for help, get the Dirt Devil, scream, run - she acted on none of them.

As she watched, the small black ant-sized creatures grew - and grew quickly. Still small, about the size of an egg now, the little black orbs suddenly sprouted wings and the wings began to flap. This time, Samantha did act. She ran. She screamed. It was too late.

Part 2 - READ!

Samantha stretched out her hand to pick up her cell phone, but before she could grab it a slippery black creature scampered past and with a wicked laugh ran off with it out of site. She whirled around looking to see where it went and what she saw made her gasp with horror. There in her living room were approximately 30 small creatures. Their skin was oily black and smooth and even glistened as if it was wet. Large eyes greeted her, looking at her with a mixture of affection and something else... Hunger?

About a foot tall, the beings appeared to be almost cute to Samantha. She was reminded of the creatures in Gremlins, but these little guys were much rounder with chubby legs and round Buddha like bellies.

Samantha continuted to stare at them not know what to do. They stood there almost expectantly, as if they were waiting for something. Her heart was pounding and she was visibly shaking, but at the same time she was fascinated. Finally, a bit of excitement in her life - and this time it wasn't in a book, but it was actually happening.

She looked at the creatures and smiled and then tried to communicate with them. She waved timidly and said "Hi, I'm Samantha!" Feeling a little stupid she was surprised when one of them opened it's large mouth and smiled back and said "Read". It had a raspy voice and brilliantly white razor sharp teeth and upon seeing those teeth Samantha screamed and ran for the door.

The darkness appeared like a cloud around the door. The winged creatures clamored together, their large eyes looking at Samantha curiously. Then she felt something pull on her skirt. She let out a startled gasp when she saw one of the chubby little creatures holding her book - Meredith's Regret. With expectant eyes and a scratchy voice it repeated the only word it seemed to know, "Read".

Samantha reached out slowly and took the book. The small creature smiled and then eagerly clapped it's small hands and said "Read". It was then that Samantha noticed the claws. Metallic looking points almost like cat claws extended from the wicked little hands.

As she opened the pages to the book she noticed all of the little black things settling around her like small children waiting to be told a fairy tale. In unison, all of them, with a voice that had been conjured in the darkest recesses of hell, began to murmur - "Read, Read, Read". Their chorus started out slowly, an almost pleading cry. The cry quickly changed and Samantha noticed a hint of frustration and in seconds their tone turned to a demand. "READ! READ! REEEEEEEEAAAAADDDD!!!" The whites of their eyes turned to a dark red. Their little faces began to tremble as if they were about to have an epeleptic seizure and without further hesitation Samantha obeyed and began to read.

Part 3

The menacing ululation subsided upon the first syllable Samantha uttered. The whites of their eyes turned white, their faces turned almost cherubic and they settled down like a sated crack addict after receiving a much needed fix.

Samantha read quickly page after page and noticed the little black creatures starting to settle down as if they were about to fall asleep. Samantha found hope in this and almost began to find a bit of joy in having someone - some thing to read to, but her hopes were quickly dashed as she read what was happening to Meredith...


Meredith rocked in her chair on her front porch. Her mind drew pictures of wicked things and those things brought a cruel smile to her face. The readers would need to be punished. That was the solution. Her husband had been an avid reader always choosing to spend his time with a book instead of with her. Once he had even thrown a book at her and broke her nose. Yes, that was it, she set to work on a plan...

Double Double toil and trouble, fire burn and cauldron bubble...

Samantha began to grow tired of reading. Her voice was hoarse and so she paused for just a moment to take a sip of her tea. She paused and looked at it making sure that it hadn't suddenly transformed into something evil the way the cookies had. Other than the fact that the ice had mostly melted, it still looked like tea. She sipped a cool sip and then suddenly the glass was slapped out of her hand. Tea went flying across the room and her glass broke up against the brick fire place. A couple of the creatures flew about and one of them stood on the arm of her chair, reached out and held her face gently in both of it's tiny little hands and with a command that probably sounded similar to the way a command was given to an unworthy slave - the little demon said, "Read".

Samantha's lip quivered and she choked back a sob. Her mind reeled about looking for some way of escape, she thought of none and so she continued to read.

***

After reading for eight hours straight Samantha didn't know if she could take it anymore. Her throat ached and she needed to go to the bathroom. She was tired and soon found herself fighting back the urge to just close her eyes and fall asleep. Every time she paused for just a moment the oily black things awoke quickly and forced her to read. Sometimes they would hold the book close to her face, one even climbed upon her head and peeled back her eyelids momentarily until she continued to read. It seemed that when she stopped reading the creatures were in intense pain.

As she read she continued to think of a way of escape and then realized that she was nearing the end of the book. Maybe there was a conclusion to this horrific tale, but what she had read from Meredith didn't allow her to hope too much. It seemed that Meredith had a plan, and that plan ended in death.

***

Tears flowed from Samantha's eyes when she read Meredith's plan. There reading could not cease. An incantation read...

Demon creatures oily black
Come out, out, and attack
The reader who reads incessantly
Make them read and make them bleed

Don't let them stop
Don't let them pause
If they do scratch them
With your claws.

Make them hate their favorite thing
Make them hate - HATE TO READ!!

The book ended and another book was forced into Samantha's hands. She pushed the book away and one of the small creatures slapped her hard in the face. The blow knocked her out of her chair. Before she could recover she felt herself being lifted and above the drone of their beat wings, the creatures shouted "READ, READ, READ!!!!"

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban felt like lead in Samantha's hands. She started to read it, and then another, this went on for hours and by now it was nearing midnight on Sunday night. She had finally gone to the bathroom in her pants since she couldn't hold it any longer. Her lips were dry and her throat was so hoarse that she didn't even recognize her own voice. She hadn't slept in nearly 72 hours.

Finally she decided to give in.

No one was going to come to her rescue. She had no friends and her co-workers would just assume that she was sick. They would never come and check on her.

She stopped reading. She couldn't stand it any longer. One of the little creatures got up and started flying at her hard and she held the large book like a baseball bat and hit is hard hurling the little beast across the room. She made a charge for the door but felt a sudden thud against her back that it felt like a grown man had been pushed against her. She fell to the floor, but didn't hesitate, she didn't pause, she didn't wait for them to cover her - no she decided if she was going down, she was going down with a fight.

She jumped up quickly and lashed out with her fists connecting with 2 demons flying around her. They screamed and whirled and continued to chant, but she wasn't going to go down easy. She suddenly felt the most intense pain in her calf and when she looked back one of them was biting into her flesh, it's wickedly sharp teeth easily cutting into the soft flesh. The pain continued to ignite a fire already burning within her. She kicked at the little creatures and decided she needed a weapon. She ran into the kitchen and grabbed for a knife but it was quickly slapped out of her hand. The creatures were lightning fast and they didn't seem to want to hurt as much as they wanted her to sit back down and read. She noticed something different about them. They continued to chat, but each one of them held a book tightly in it's grip. On the counter she had a lighter and on the back porch she knew she had some lighter fluid. She picked up a pan from the stove and started hitting the demons as they attacked her. The action reminded her of a game she loved as a kid - Whack-A-Mole.

Her arms ached and her clothes were ripped to shreds but she managed to make it out of the house and she slammed the door before any of the creatures could escape. She quickly grabbed the lighter fluid and then lit the house on fire. She could hear the demons their shrill cries unlike anything she had ever heard. Their fever pitch was so intense you would have thought that they were already burning. She started to run and leave them to burn in the house hoping that they would die, but just as she thought, that would be way to easy. Suddenly a book flew out of the window. It was hurled with such force that if it had hit her it probably would have broken a bone or at the very least knocked her down. More books came. Every book she owned came spewing forth from the windows of the house. It was as if the house had suddenly gotten sick from consuming too much bad literature and suddenly it was projectile vomiting from every orifice.

Her small house was two story and it had been inherited from her grandmother. Unfortunately, her grandmother preferred solitude and country life - which meant there was no place to run and no one to call to for help.

This would be settled here, tonight, end game, finis, finale, whatever you wanted to call it, it was about to be over. She picked up the books one at a time and through them back at the house. She watched them burn, all of her favorites, but she didn't care, she didn't think she would ever want to read again.

The house groaned as if it could feel itself burning and dying. The orange flames were hot and hungry and continued to devour every available morsel.

Where are the creatures? Samantha thought. She could no longer hear their cries, maybe it wouldn't be so bad after all. Maybe it was finally over... and then she saw it. There in the middle of the house something large and dark. If she had to describe it she would have said that it looked like a giant burnt Pillsbury Doughboy with black wings and pointed teeth. It stood their in the middle of the blaze morphing into something unholy.

Samantha continued to toss the books into the fire. She wanted to stoke the blaze with anything and everything - whatever it took to burn this thing alive.

The creature moved toward her. It's voice was no longer shrill and childlike, but deep and booming. It let out a bellowing sound that wasn't unlike a foghorn. A fould stench enveloped Samantha and she fell back onto something hard. She reached behind her and found that it was a small Bible. One she had as a child, but one that she had thought she had lost. She held the Bible closely to her chest as it was the only thing she had for protection. The monstrous black creature walked out of the burning house towering above Samantha. Again it repeated it's one and only command. "REEEEEEAAAAAAADDDDDD!!!!"

All of the other books were gone, she only had this one left. She opened the book and found a passage that had been taught to her as a little girl, one she still remembered by heart.

"Yeah though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil..." She could barely talk, her voice was barely a whisper, but she continued... "for thou are with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me"

The creature was standing over her close now. Samantha didn't dare look up. She was afraid, but she wasn't shaking and suddenly she felt calm. And then the large black hand scooped her up and stuffed her into it's mouth.

The pain was intense, so intense that Samantha thought that this must be what it felt like to die. This was the end. There wasn't a bright light at the end of the tunnel, only blackness, only filth, only bile. She held on to the small Bible, she clutched it tightly somehow taking a modicum of strength in knowing that it was there. She finally gave in to the pain and let herself go. She gave up, she was ready to die.

Samantha opened her eyes. She couldn't believe it, she was alive. She looked around hoping that what she had gone through had been a bad dream, but it wasn't. Her skin was covered in a oily substance that smelled of sulfur and charred flesh. The house was in ashes behind her and in her hands she still held on to the Bible. As she looked at the Bible she laughed as she thought to herself, "thou anointest my head with oil" - apparently God was being very literal this time.

Epilogue

Samantha hugged her husband tightly. Her dark hair flowed around her shoulders and she still couldn't believe how much her life had changed 2 year ago on one dark and wicked night. After taking a bath and washing away the oil and dirt she was no longer herself. She had become something new. No, she wasn't beautiful, but she was different, she was changed on the inside and on the out. She stopped reading - everything except for the Bible - and she stopped living in a fantasy world and started enjoying reality. 1 husband and 3 kids later she realized that she had learned a lot from Meredith's Regret, and she didn't plan on having any of her own.

1 in 5 has Herpes, but not Everyone deserves them...

A while back I posted about herpes. You can read that post here. The point of my post was not that people make mistakes, my outrage was in the fact that the magazine made it sound like if you got the disease it was no big deal. However, I know when I wrote the post I definitely was not as sensitive as I should have been as some people get herpes by not fault of their own.

The reason I am writing this today is because I got an email that prompted me to give an apology to Deby, a woman that wrote me this:

Please be careful about information you discover on the internet, particularly something as important as medical info. Check out WEBMD.com, type in STD (sexually transmitted disease) to get accurate info. (By the way, genital warts are human papillomavirus, or HPV.) I ran into this website while doing some research for a paper. As a retired grandmother living with Herpes for 35 years, I was really disappointed at some of the mean-spirited and judgmental comments. Not everyone gets these things because of their behavior. I was married and didn't know the husband (now ex-) was messing around. Fortunately, my outbreaks are mild. So mild, in fact, that at first I wasn't even aware that I had it. (Most people don't have the horrifying symptoms mentioned in the magazine.)

I was pregnant when the ex- left and, because he didn't tell me about the Herpes, I actually put my baby in danger by having a vaginal birth. I have known several other women who trusted the men they were with and ended up with similar - and worse -problems. So, I could be judgmental, too, and say all men are dicks, but I wouldn't do that. A little kind-heartedness and understanding goes a long way. Thanks. Deby


What a horrible thing to have to live through. First the betrayal and then the disease that keeps the memory of the betrayal fresh year after year. My heart hurts for people who are in Deby's position.

So to Deby, I do apologize if my post, or the comments sounded judgemental. I always try to be sensitive to others in my posts, but sometimes I fail to do so. I wish you the best and thanks for opening my eyes and helping me to be more understanding and less insensitive about a very sensitive subject.

A Series of Small Performances

Shakespeare was right when he said, "All the world's a stage". My life lately has been nothing but a series of performances strung together by momentary intermissions that have allowed for sleep and a trip to the snack bar.

Last week I went to Houston and I had to do a presentation and then I sat behind a table and smiled as people walked by uninterested in my blackberry services. I was acting like I was happy, but I was miserable. Houston is as humid as any armpit in Georgia in the middle of August and even the locals will tell you that the heat in Texas isn't so bad, it's the humidity that really gets you.

Later in the week we had a couple of appearances for the ManiAACs, and then I spoke at the boys home on Sunday and then Monday night was another ManiAAC appearance.

One summer when I worked at Kanakuk I remember Keith Chancey, the Kamp Director, telling us that we needed to always be "on". Even though we might have been there for 7 weeks sweating and working our butts off, for the kids, it was their first and only week and so we had to be just as excited for group 7 as we were for group 1. It was definitely a mental exercise that taught me to "act" as if I was happy on the outside even if I was a wreck on the inside.

Last night seemed to be the final scene in a series of performances. The mother of one of the ManiAACs passed away unexpectedly last week and the wake was last night. I put on my best suit and drove down to be there for support as this particular ManiAAC happens to be the only other rookie and has fast become like a brother to me. Some of the other ManiAACs showed up as well and it was cool to see the guys pull together and be there for each other. It was the first time I felt like something more than just a group of fat guys that liked to dance and have a good time, last night we were indeed family.

So far my performances have been Oscar worthy - I think. My smile is still firmly in place. My costume is nicely pressed and when the curtain is pulled back once again I hope I remember my lines for my next series of small performances.
