AMERICA!?!

What's wrong with you? I just don't get it.

Katharine? What you don't have a Pheever anymore? What about Bucky, yeah he was better last night, but still?

Listen. Katharine is basically the reason I watch the show. I need her to be on that show. Don't you go voting her off. You naughty, little, girly country.

Just stop it. STOP IT! You big dummy-heads. (Ok that's a quote from my classroom, maybe I'll call that an occupational quote.)

Listen. I am a Christian, so I'll show some grace and forgiveness. But maybe only tonight. Next time, I may forget about forgiveness and grace (cracking knuckles).

BOOM! WATCH IT BUDDY BOY!

The McRibb

That's right. Shes'a back. And shes'a better than ever. My blog baby.

Well, it has been sometime since I updated this thing and I do apologize. The main reason is I have been trying to catch up on all of my paper work for school and work. I had finals which consumed a lot of time, and my assessments were due on the kids at work this week. So a lot of finish it up and clean it up work was spent doing it all.

As for my life:

Farah. Ahh. A breath of fresh air. With a name ending in "ah" you know it's a good thing. A sigh of relief. Ladies and Gentlemen, dare I post such a thing... But she may have a job here! It is 95% sure, and yes... that means... SHE'S MOVING HERE! Lovely? Indeed.

Work. Kuh. A breath of stale air. With a name ending in "kuh" you know it's a bad thing. A cough of disgust. I'm not talking about the kid-o's, cause they are always great, even on their worst days, it's just the mundane, monotony of doing paper work and dealing with everyone's issues. Yuck. I'm over it.

Church. Chhhh. A breath of smokey air. With a name ending in "Chh" you know it's a moving thing. A train chugging a long. I'm pretty content with it all, things keep chugging a long, and yeah life works pretty well for me there. I'm in with it.

Parker. Errr. A breath of oddness. With a name ending in "Err" you know it's just silly and err--questionable. A friend writing funny poems. I'm cracking up over this guy, these notes are simply classic. I'm down homes.

Mario. Oooo. A breath of... well something. With a name ending in "Ooo" you know it's shocking. A game that has me almost to the last battle ship? Life is good.


And that's me in a few sound bytes.

Emotions...

Seriously, maybe I am a little emotional right now (waiting for Farah to get here and all) but I just teared up over a movie trailer...

Best part about it is... It was for X3. People, this movie is everything I want it to be. The acting looks great, the graphics look amazing, and the story seems to be following a unique yet true to the original (somewhat) storyline. Oh man. This movie, me, a popcorn on Regal's buck, and a time called Midnight are in my future. I can't wait for May.

Peace and Love. And God bless Apple Movie Trailers.

Out.

Coutdown

Ah I am rather tired. Oh well...

Class went well tonight, it was fun, but tomorrow... Yeah baby! Farah!

All rise! The honorable, beautiful, and practically perfect in every way, Farah is coming to town.

Horray. So I'm going to rest up before she comes here tomorrow morning. And off I go!

Wrong

Well... Two posts ago I posted something wrong. I am not too proud to admit it...

But here it is:

Gedeon and Will (I sorta guess him)

I should have known. The guy I can't stand is gone cause he draws odd pictures and is odd)

Kinik and Ayla (Yeah actually I predicted that one... I talked with Cory today and yeah... Too bad I didn't post it to prove it)

Anyway. Such is life, I'm over it.

P.S. I love that song about clapping the hands!
P.S.S. Bucky and Kevin better get going soon!

Good Dolly! I've got some News...

Every night I come home and I watch the news, Maybe I'll give the weekly update... We'll see... but it's time ladies and gentlemen, for Michael Shaw's slant on the news:


Entertainment...
The Oscars were good. Not amazing, but good. (My party was five times better so ha LaLa Land) This week all of Hollywood is reflecting on Chalize's giant bow on her dress, and Heath Ledger's ladies' odd color choice... Joan and Melissa have put their votes in and fashion awards have been divvied out. I must say I was pretty excited that two of the funniest people in all of Hollywood were together this weekend Joan and Dolly. Yes Dolly Parton. Those women are crazy. They're more plastic then the PlaySchool Factory in Michigan.


Sports...
Mr. Bonds is being investigated. Steroids. Ethics? Listen we all don't like the idea of someone using something unnatural to enhance (for instance Dolly Parton rubs people the wrong way because of her unnatural stuff--but hey she's turning 60 this year so ROCK IT OUT GIRL!). But seriously. I think its just a fact that people are going to use, so let's just throw those guys all into a different league--Say the American Druggie Baseball Association. It would be kind of amazing all these guys who are like X-Men playing baseball. The balls would be flying all over the place, bats cracking in half every other hit. Yeah that would be kind of amazing.


Health...
Cigarettes sales are down 4.2% which is interesting. All the kids in my class say that if you smoke you will die. Yeah that's true. But then again, if you breathe air, you will die. Such is life, I'm over it.

Did you know Diabetes can lead to erectial disfunction!? Did you know that they call it ED? Did you know that they have about 3 or 4 ED ads every night on the news!? How many men can't ... Never mind, I think that this whole subject needs to stop. I'm putting it to rest.

People in America are living longer. Dolly (yes, her again), Bush, and thousands of others are turning 60 this year.

Financial...
Billionaires. There's tons of them! FORBES said it... 793 Billionaires in the world! There were only 476 3 years ago! That's a big growth rate for those of you who don't do well with numbers (Shaw family shout out). Bill Gates tops the list with 50 billion, and how much has he given me? Nothing. 371 billionaires live here in the US. Martha is off the list. Donald is on the list. Dolly wasn't on the list, even after Dollywood. That freako James Dyson with his stupid vacuum did it, he's a billionaire. I can't stand that stupid commercial. He spent his life doing it, and for that we give him a billion. Come on. I've spent over 6 years becoming a teacher and do I get a billion? Nope, I just get a 5 figure salary and kids spitting on me. Whatever.

And that's the news for today.
Check back soon for the amazing things happening in the world. More to come on Dollywood soon...

The Ghetto Guys

Gedeon..
What the heck? Is he really THAT intense!? I thought I was the only one who was that intense. Listen I love the Lord, but still he is always saying "God bless you." Is he for real, or unlike most people who hear voices he hears sneezes? I'm just saying.

Chris...
Baldy, you are good. But I wasn't that excited by your performance tonight. Maybe it's all become just expected from you, but still.

Kevin...
Oy. Is he really loved by so many? I do get it, but come on. It's the Geek Squad look, but I just don't hear it vocally. Sorry. Time to buy a plane ticket.

Bucky....
Oh shucky. Not so good my southern buddy. Just averagey and totally sounded like the bar buddy who got up to impress the ladies. Couldn't dig it.

Will...
Good kid. Not the best. But totally likable. Too bad he sounded like a Karaoke Bar for overly professional 14 year olds.

Taylor...
Put the bunny head back on buddy. I'm getting tired of you. But you have this totally individual self that will probably put you through. Urg. He moves worse than my car trying to shift gears. I can't understand that awkward movement. A little Forrest Gump-esk if I've ever seen it.

Elliott...
Are you sure you aren't black? He has so much quieted soul in his voice. Effortless. Simple. But I think it missed that big moment that made everyone believe in him as the superstar.

Ace...
The pretty boy strikes again. Does he really need this forum to get a contract? But what's up with Michael Jackson!?! That blasted falsetto strikes again! Learn this all men competing: You sound like a freakin doofus when you sing in that falsetto, everyone can do it, you're not special cause you can. Hated that song, but hey, someone must have liked it. It wasn't as bad as Kevin's song about suffering for sanity!!

Who should go tomorrow?
Bucky and Kevin unless America loses faith in Will... Don't do it.

Fallen Idols...

Oh jeepers.. Seriously that sounds like a 20/20 special I saw once, but it couldn't be. Cause I think I just saw it on American Idol over the past two nights....

This post is dedicated to Parker who believes that I can be a famous, old, grumpy judge... If only all the world could hear me....

Here it is the good... the bad... and the ugly...

(Ok I won't say anything was ugly other than some of the style issues we saw going down cough cough Paula...)



THE GOOD

Elliott. Amazing. He has this rich silk like sound to his voice with this raspy tinge that says "Stevie?! Yeah, I can work that." Yeah he did. Still a favorite...

And Chris. Very believable. I liked it. Sounded a little close to the original, but I thought it was great for the masses. People will, in the words of Morgen Jane, "heart you."



THE BAD

Ok... My how some of the favorites have fallen!

Ace, the lady killer, he missed a shot and killed himself tonight. Bad singing, bad song, bad style. What's up with the beanie? Can we say odd? Reminds me of a kid I know... But alas, perhaps his looks will push him through to the next round, not that he's not a good singer... something happened to him tonight.

Sway. Seriously. How are you still there after this last week? That fallceto was odd. This week was standard. And I hope for the sake of diversity you get pushed through. But seriously, I think its time to chat with Aloha Misho, cause I think you're joining her destiny.

Katharine. My heart yearns to hear you sing like Week 1 again. Say it isn't so.... Please, don't be shunned for a.. dare I say... bad performance last night. She really didn't bring the "A" game. Maybe she needs to stop hanging out with that High School ASB president of an Idol contestant, Kelly.... "Pick Pickler" (mumble, mumble, mumble). But, Katharine, I still support your team (man--I am so biased toward the women--I'll let them slide more than the guys--sorry Ace.) But girl you gots to BRING IT!




THE UGLY (TRUTH)
Paris. What are you doing with your clothing this week? Here's my advice... If Paula says you look "cute" or "good" watch out. Something is amiss. Keep that in mind.

When it's all said and done... I fear the quality of idol has gone... kapooey... since the first week...

Unless Elliott. Katharine (yes I still believe in you), and Chris can bring it on next week, in the words of C3PO "We're doomed"

Image of the Month


Yup here it is the image of the month. This is probably my honest favorite of the lot, but hey March is a good month. It is sorta lucky if you know what I mean.
