This blog is for the people who want to become a WWE Superstar or Diva!

It's hard trying to become good at something that you really like. Me for example I'm only 12 years old, almost 13 in a couple of months. I figured if I pracitce and train on my wrestling skills I will do better in long run.

LIFTING WEIGTS!- It's a lot better to lift weights when your youger. Here is really smart advice: DON'T BE LAZY AND WAIT TO WORK OUT WHEN YOUR OLDER THAT WILL JUST MAKE IT HARDER ON YOU! I do 20 pulls-ups in the morning and night. For me thats a lot. Before I could only do 2 now I can do 20, all because i'm training hard. My brother said thats it's all in your head. What he meant was when your running or lifting weight your mind will say you can't take anymore before you can't physically stop! run until you can't run no more and lift weights until you can't even pick it up!

THE FUTURE DIVAS- Hey future divas if you are reading this blog listen up. I wanna see some fight in the diva's division. I wanna see the next Molly Holly, Fabuloos Moolah, Trish Stratus etc. I am a true wrestling fan who enjoys the fighting not just the bikini conest and other stuff, I mean I like it and all but just try to bring some fight back.  because now the divas are starting to get really boring.

Thats all I had to say. Thanx for reading. Your friend DC3

So a good friend of mine who works closely with the ladies of Destiny's Child tells me that we'll have new songs from them possibly early next year. YAY. I'm so excited. DC is one of my faves. I'd really like it if Beyonce maybe confirmed that she and JayZ are married, like don't deny it B - be proud to be Mrs!!! And CLICKY HERE to agree with me that B's little sister Solange needs a new stylist.

And speaking of new music, I hear we'll have new Akon soon too and you know how he sings on everyone else's songs, well this time he's gonna have a huge list of mega stars on his songs!

This whole Lohan/Ronson drama is annoying. We all know that both Lindsay's mom and dad are using their daughter's celebrity as their claim to fame. If I were Lindsay I'd be mad at both my parents for profitting off of my career. Sure it's good to share your success with your family but when your parents are infamous for mouching off of you, then there's a problem. I salute Britney's parents who could have gotten their own tv show, could have gotten into fights with her former lovers, could be profitting in all the wrong ways from her past. CLICKY HERE to see how Lynne is doing it gracefully. And yes, I'll totally go buy her book. Team Britney all the way. she's much more of a bigger star than LL.

Has Katie Holmes been spending too much time on her knees? YOU DECIDE.

And in serious news, THIS is super scary. The AIDS virus spread 3 times faster in NYC than anywhere else in the US.

Subject: WANTED FOR ATTEMPTED MURDER (the actual AP headline)

 Linda Burnett, 23, a resident of San Diego, was visiting her in-laws, and while there she went to a nearby supermarket to pick up some groceries.  Several people noticed her sitting in her car with the windows rolled up and with her eyes closed, with both hands behind the back of her head.

One customer who had been at the store for a while became concerned and walked over to the car. He noticed that Linda's eyes were now open, and she looked very strange. He asked her if she was okay, and Linda replied that she'd been shot in the back of the head, and had been holding her brains in for over an hour.

The man called the paramedics, who broke into the car because the doors were locked and Linda refused to remove her hands from her head. When they finally got in, they found that Linda had a wad of  bread dough on the back of her head. A Pillsbury biscuit canister had exploded from the heat, making a loud noise that sounded like a  gunshot, and the wad of dough hit her in the back of her head. When she reached back to find out what it was, she felt the dough and  thought it was her brains. She initially passed out, but quickly  recovered and tried to hold her brains in for over an hour until  someone noticed and came to her aid.

Linda is a blonde and a Democrat who is going to vote for Obama,  but I'm certain that's irrelevant.

The Lark Ascending is often sneered at for being "chocolate box Englishness". Maybe for those whose ears are gummed up with chocolate! Perhaps the lark symbolises the transcience of beautiful things. But no culture has a monopoly on such things.Neither the soloist, Akiko Suwanai, nor the conductor, Susanna Mallki, come to the Lark with preconceptions. The result was a performance of refreshing clarity and freedom.. Pairing it with Ravel's Shéhérazade was a stroke of genius. Ravel was following the grand French tradition of looking eastward for new ideas, colours and harmonies. Would RVW been able to break free from the stifling Stanford had he not learned from Ravel ? So maybe RVW isn't so "English" at all, whatever that means. Listen to Chinese music, erhu and bamboo flute. The Lark could easily be transcribed for Chinese instruments. It's a truly original work, which transcends boundaries, strikingly "modern" in the sense it's timeless, too.

At the last Smackdown Show (08 / 22) we saw that the Undertaker wants Vickys Soul. He owned the whole family. But what do you think ? Will the Undertaker be Heel ? Whats about Edge ? Maybe we'll get answers on our questions in this SmackDown Episode.

Irish Sausages

Can I have some Irish Sausages, please?' asked the Irishman,  walking up to the counter.

The assistant looked at him and asked: 'Are you Irish?'

 'If I had asked you for Italian sausage, would you ask me if I was Italian?' demanded the Irishman indignantly.

'Or, if I asked for German Bratwurst, would you ask me if I was  German?'

Then, warming to his theme, he went on: 'Or if I asked you for a kosher hot dog, would you ask me if I was  Jewish?'

'Or, if I asked you for a taco, would you ask me if I was Mexican?  Would Ya? Would Ya?'

The assistant said: 'Well, no.'

Suitably encouraged by the success of his logic, the Irishman steps   it up a gear.

 'And if I asked you for frog's legs, would you ask me if I was  French?'

 'What about Danish Bacon, would you ask me if I was Danish?'

'Well no, I probably wouldn't' conceded the assistant.

So, now bursting with righteous indignation, the Irishman says: 'Well, all right then, why did you ask me if I'm Irish just because  I asked for Irish sausages?'

 The assistant replied: 'Because you're in Homebase'

I had my post on the fact that the Clintons have now switched their stance on Obama being "ready" to be president deleted from My-T. The only possible reason I can think for that happening is because I called Bill Clinton "Blow-Job-Bill"

So is the insane Ghost of Mary Whitehouse running the show on this blog site now?

What else - what other truths - are we not allowed to print here? I'd like to know because it will save me wasting my time writing posts that get deleted!

Perfecto

1 Juan 4:18 En el amor no hay temor, sino que el perfecto amor echa fuera el temor, porque el temor lleva en si castigo. De donde el que teme, no ha sido perfeccionado en el amor,

El temor es una de las sensaciones mas destructivas y paralizantes que un ser humano puede padecer. Podemos tener temores de muchas cosas, quizás para algunos, insignificantes, pero para nosotros muy preocupantes. Hay diversas clases de temores: Externos e internos, pero cualquiera que ellos sean nos hacen vivir por debajo de lo que Dios ha diseñado para nuestras vidas. Alguien ha dicho con razón que el temor nos hace "inválidos emocionales" que detiene nuestro caminar. Gracias a la ayuda del Señor podemos aprender a vencer aquellos temores que tenemos desde pequeños o los mas recientes que se nos han "pegado".

El único que puede ayudarnos a eliminar el temor de nuestras vidas es el Señor, Aquel que nos ama con un amor eterno y poderoso. El pasaje de hoy dice que el perfecto amor de Dios echa fuera el temor. La menará rápida y sencilla de que nuestros temores desaparezcan y nunca mas vuelvan a torturarnos es centralizar nuestro pensamiento en el gran amor de Dios manifestado en la persona de Jesucristo. Usted como cristiano vive bajo el amor , y ese amor es que le ministra a usted seguridad, esperanza, consuelo, animo, valor y fuerzas para enfrentar la vida. Si usted deja de permanecer con su fe y pensamientos en el amor de Dios, se llenara de temores y ellos engendraran en su interior, castigo, es decir, le harán ver la vida de una forma negativa, asustadiza y llena de cosas oscuras. Aprenda a vivir sin temores viviendo cada minuto de su vida bajo el inmenso AMOR DE DIOS.

CONFESION DE FE

VIVO BAJO EL AMOR DE DIOS Y MIS TEMORES SE VAN DE MI VIDA

ORACION:

Gracias Señor por que en Ti esta todo lo que necesito para vivir sin temor. Me cobijo en este día bajo tu poderoso amor y experimento la bendición de que mis temores son echados fuera. Amen

Obama lacks experience? Bill says not anymore



Former President Bill Clinton took it all back on Wednesday, all the primary shots about Barack Obama's inexperience, telling a wildly cheering Democratic convention of a time when voters sent a young, inexperienced man to the White House.

Barack Obama Surprise Appearance



Feuding Dems hugging it out

With a jaw-dropping series of hugs, feuding Illinois Democrats sought to bury hatchets Wednesday in a surreal display of unity-gone-wild.

Obama makes surprise appearance

Barack Obama walked onto the stage of the Democratic National Convention late Wednesday, just hours after he walked into the history books.

Here's a little irony for your commute: Metra is reducing the number of bathrooms on trains, while the number of passengers, including seniors riding free, is on the rise.

Hey everyone!

If you were in chat last night you probably know that I was drinking, I don't drink too often so that's why I am blogging about it! It was so much fun to get with you guys and chat as I went through the four beers I allowed myself, I know, I know, I'm a lightweight but what the heck, it was still pretty fun! I was making typos and for once not caring because I told myself you all were smart enough to figure out what I had meant. LOL!!

I really enjoy the chats we have and it's been enhanced by sharing wild music together with of course Big Willy Radio! It's just great to relive some great memories of the past with you in chat, talking about videos and stuff we did during those decades the music Big WIlly is playing for us. I am so happy we have the chat to enjoy together, it really is what made me register as a Rockaholic and I don't regret it at all, in fact the only thing I do regret is NOT registering SOONER!

Ok soooooo Monday marks the 2 month date until my big fancy pants wedding. I'm a bit scared.

This weekend I'm bunkering down (when I'm not here Saturday, Sunday and Monday on the air) and getting a shitton of work done. I have a ton of DIY stuff I gotta finish up. NOT ONE SINGLE PROJECT IS DONE. So Tina from the hot spot chat is going to be my coach and get me thru this list...Here's my nightmare of a list...originally created on 8/27...

1. CAKE TOPPER - I'm restoring my mother's cake topper from her wedding, which is the same one my grand parents used. I'm about 98% done. I need to touch up the paint on the bride's face and have my dad fix the eyes, currently she has 3 and only really needs 2. I need to fix the paint at the base, there is 1 tiny chip. I need to hot glue the arch into place and touch up anything else. I need to box it up and label it and make it ready to go.
2. GIGANTIC LARGE CENTERPIECE - without giving too much away this is going to be huge, a huge item and a huge focal point. I need to box up everything for this and finish printing out photos and put them in frames. This is about 98% done. I need to box it up and label it and make it ready to go. As of 11:30pm on 8/27 I have used all 18 frames I've bought and still need a few more. I keep thinking of things I want to include. I'll be making another trip to the store this evening to purchase another dozen or so. Great!
3. DECORATIONS FOR THE CEREMONY - we're keeping this pretty basic but I need to print out quotes about love and get them in the hanging frames and redo the ribbon to my prettier blue ribbon. This won't take very long but I'm waiting on my mom to get the quotes formatted so they print neatly on the printer. This is about 70% done. I need to box it up and label it and make it ready to go. I need to order fresh rose petals for the isle and I need to figure out if I want to drape tulle or not.
4. LARGE CENTERPIECES - we are doing half of the total number of centerpieces about 95% ourselves, the other 5% will be fresh flowers from my florist. I need to go thru all of the glassware and remove the stickers and rinse and pack them up. I need to get the items going into each glass ready to go. I need to count out the proper number of candles for each glass and get each glass, the candles and other times in a ziplock and put each of the 10 centerpieces into a box, I need to box it up and label it and make it ready to go.
5. SMALL CENTERPIECES - we are also doing 8 smaller versions of our DIY centerpieces for the cocktail hour location. These glasses need to get their stickers removed and the same process as above needs to be done. I need to box it up and label it and make it ready to go.
6. MEMORIAL CANDLE - this is about 95% done. I need to unwrap all 3 candles, 2 we'll light the main memorial candle with, and take the stickers off the hurricanes and the holders. This is super easy. I can even ask my dad to do it. I need to box it up and label it and make it ready to go.
7. FAVORS - I need to figure out of my favors will be my place cards or not. This debate is going back and forth with my mom, my wedding planner and me. We'll figure it out and move on. If my favors are just favors then I need to make a very large sandbox out of plywood to use for the place cards. This involves my dad.
8. GUESTBOOK - I'm about 98% done with our guestbook which is also a scrapbook. We're waiting on 2 more pictures of us that we'll probably take at my birthday in late September and 1 more somewhere else, I'm sure we'll have more but this is when I'm planning on taking a really good pic of us. I am also waiting until after my bridal shower and put an invitation in the scrapbook. The pens are ready to go, the paper to write on is ready to go, I need to get one of my extra centerpiece glasses to use for the filled out papers and I need to get my old digital camera charged up and ready to go. So really we're like 90% done. I need to box it up and label it and make it ready to go.
9. CEREMONY - we're pretty much done. We're just waiting on finalizing our vows probably the week before hand.
10. PROGRAMS - we're just about ready to print them but we're going to wait until about 2 weeks before hand.
11. TABLE NUMBERS - I gotta get my mom to print them. Shouldn't take too long. We have their holders ready to go. I need to get them together, I need to box it up and label it and make it ready to go.
12. WEDDING RINGS - we need to go have them engraved. We need to figure out what to have them say. This won't take long. We love our jeweler. He's awesome. Need to know who he is? Ask me!
13. MY DRESS!!!! - my first fitting isn't until the 17^th...so I have a few weeks to figure out what bra to wear. That's such an issue I'm having. Oh well, I'm sure it will be fine.
14. JEWELRY - when we go pick up our rings we're going to go pick out my jewelry that I'm going to be borrowing. I know I'll be getting 5 pairs of pearl earrings in descending sizes since I have 5 holes in each ear. I need a necklace and possibly have my bracelet that my Fiance got me cleaned and it can be my "something blue" since it's sapphires.
15. SOMETHING OLD, SOMETHING NEW, SOMETHING BORROWED, SOMETHING BLUE - well I just told you my blue and my borrowed will be taken care of...my something new is pretty much everything. My something old??? I have no idea!!!
16. BOUQUETS - I saw in a bridal magazine a really pretty picture of a bouquet that had a charm hanging from the stems and inside was a picture of the bride's grandparents. I thought this would be a great way to honor my grandparents so I need to get my butt over to my florist and drop this off. I also need to drop off the extra fabric I got that matches my girls's dresses so she can use that to wrap their bouquets in. matchy matchy!
17. MUSIC - I need to put a playlist together for our cocktail ceremony and put it on my Ipod shuffle. We're going to use that for cocktails. I know what I want to play, I just need to get it all together.
18. CEREMONY MUSIC - I need to finalize this. I know what we will be using for most of it, I'm going to let the dj pick what plays while people are being seated and at the end. He has a handy website tool that allows me to select my songs, I need to get it done!
19. RECEPTION MUSIC - I have no idea what my dad and I will be dancing to. I don't know what my fiancé and his mom will dance to. I don't know what we'll be cutting the cake to, doing the garter toss and bouquet toss to. I gotta think!! This is no where close to being done.
20. NAIL SALON - I have to go out to Annapolis one Saturday and try this great salon that my wedding planner recommended and see how their mani and pedis are and if we love them we'll book appointments for the Friday morning before the wedding.
21. ANNAPOLIS TOUR - I need to find out how these work and try and book something for jimmy's family. I believe most of his extended family is going into DC Friday and they'll miss the rehearsal dinner but for his immediate family I need to plan something local so they'll be back in time for the rehearsal.
22. GIFTS - I have the gifts for my soon to be nieces ready to go, I just need to shrink wrap them. I have the gift for their little brother who is our ring bearer ready to go and wrapped. I have no idea about anyone else. The bridesmaids gifts are coming along but I gotta figure out the rest of their stuff. I don't know what to get the guys. I need to order stuff for the women in Jimmy's family - his mom, sister and grandma. I need to get my parents something. I think I should get Jimmy something. AHHHHH! As of 11:30pm on 8/27 I have ordered gifts for Jimmy's parents, all 3 bridesmaids, all 3 groomsmen and my dad. Yay! And I got the gifts for jimmy's nieces all shrink wrapped. So now I just need to make cute gift tags for the 3 gifts that I have and we're good to go. Once all the other gifts come in I'll get them wrapped up right away.
23. OUT OF TOWN GIFT BAGS - this itself is a nightmare. I'm going to need to have my mom call in for some help from her aunt. Since most guests will be coming in on Halloween night we themed everything out in Halloween style. Black canvas reusable grocery bags will have orange tissue at the bottom to provide support for water bottles, Halloween candy in clear Halloween bags, salt water taffy from ocean city, a jar of homemade blackberry jam, some cookies, possibly some trail mix or crackers, a postcard from Maryland, and a map of the area. I have these cute little notes typed up and ready to print that will go inside each of these. I need to cut the paper and then print 100 of them. This is about 10% done.
24. REHEARSAL DINNER - this itself is another event. Since it's on halloweenies, we'll all be in costume. I don't have mine yet, neither does my fiancé. I need to remind the bridal party that they are required to wear one. I need to finish buying my decorations for this. I'm going to have buckets full of Halloween candy along with a cake on a table all decked out in orange and black. I bought some faux pumpkins and my dad is going to carve out our names in them. We bought some cool skull votive holders and some cool spider web candelabras to use. We need to get the invitations out once we have all of the wedding rsvps in. I need to order cheap Halloween masks to have as favors so each guest will be in costume. As of 8/27 at 11:30pm I have ordered our Halloween costumes! We're going to be so cute.
25. DRESS FOR THE BRIDAL SHOWER - all I know about my shower is the date and that I need to wear red. I need to find a day next week to go shopping so I can have time to get it altered if I need to.
26. REMINDERS FOR THE BRIDAL PARTY - I need to tell my girls when we are getting things done like hair and nails and all that good stuff. I need to find a restaurant to have a lunch at the day before. I need to remind the guys that they need to get fitted for their tuxedos before the deadline and remind everyone to get a Halloween costume.
27. MISC. CEREMONY DECORATIONS - I need to allot for certain areas to be decorated with candles and need to get them counted out and organized.

Don't even get me started on the seating chart, time line, limo arrangements, menus, and anything else. This is just kinda ridiculous if you ask me!!! tick tock!

I was out the past two days and missed this.....Boo Hoo, Poor P.Diddy has to fly commercial because he can't afford the fuel for his personal jet:

Watch out for those moral entrepreneurs

Just before taking a break I noticed with interest the extraordinary admission from Julian Critchley, the former director of the Cabinet Office's anti-drug unit, that legalising drugs would be a more effective strategy than the current policy and that his view was widely shared by the 'overwhelming majority' of professionals in the field including police officers, health workers and even members of the government. Critchley also claimed that drug policy was dictated more by what would appease Daily Mail readers than any objective consideration of the actual evidence as to what works despite the widely held recognition that prohibition causes rather more problems than it solves.

I would suggest that the reason successive governments have stubbornly clung to an approach which they (and the Daily Mail) think ought to work, but clearly doesn't, is because of the insistence that drug taking is somehow a moral issue. An examination of the entire history behind the process of the illegalisation of recreational drug use reveals that it has been led by a desire to discipline particular groups of people rather than any considered view of the actual harms associated with particular substances. Whether it has been Mexican immigrants, Black people, jazz musicians, anti-war protestors, hippies with long hair, new-age travellers or eco-warriors, the targets of drug prohibition have always been populations identified as problematic to those 'experts', press barons and politicians who have the power to establish themselves as self-appointed guardians of public morality - the moral entrepreneurs.

Consider the following quote from a medical textbook written in 1909 by Sir Clifford Allbutt (an appropriate name under the circumstances) and Dr. Humphrey Rolleston and see if you can guess which particular substance they are warning readers about:

'The sufferer is tremulous and loses his self-command; he is subject to fits of agitation and depression. He loses colour and has a haggard appearance. As with other such agents, a renewed dose of the poison gives temporary relief, but at the cost of future misery.'

What could it be? Heroin? Cocaine? Not at all since both of these were hailed by the medical profession as boons to medical science at that point in time. Morphine perhaps or opium? Again no. The answer somewhat bizarrely is coffee! And the reason behind the dissemination of such 'informed' and 'expert' advice warning of the dire consequences of drinking the evil brew was that coffee was particularly associated with the bohemians of Paris, a group of people identified as morally dissolute and with the added bonus of being, not just foreign, but French!

An even more bizarre example of extraordinarily misinformed moral entrepreneurship masquerading under the guise of professional expertise can be found in the views of both Benjamin Rush, the founder of American psychiatry, and his French counterpart, Jean-Etienne Esquirol, on, of all things, masturbation. Rush didn't just think or believe, but positively 'knew' that masturbation caused impotence, tuberculosis, indigestion, dizziness (he could have been right on that one!), epilepsy, memory loss and a range of other disorders, while Esquirol stated it 'is recognised as a common cause of insanity in all countries.' In a staggering exercise in the closing of professional ranks our own Royal College of Surgeons in 1891 advocated a somewhat dramatic solution to these many problems attributed to masturbation both male and female. I will spare readers the gory details, but suffice it to say had their advice been acted upon fully then I wouldn't be here to write this and you good readers wouldn't be there to read it!

Finally, and to return to both the theme of drugs and that most reputable and morally sound organ, the Daily Mail , one of its recent reports spoke of miraculous goings-on in Afghanistan: 'Officials believed the Taliban were turning dried cannabis leaves into heroin.'

The last time somebody came up with a party trick like that was over 2,000 years ago and it involved water and wine - though come to think of it he would have probably looked remarkably like Osama Bin Laden!

Iain Martin calls for a British foreign policy. Hear, hear. But what would such a foreign policy look like? How would it differ from the European one, which Britain is currently bound to uphold (in the words of the Treaties) "actively and unreservedly, in a spirit of loyalty and mutual solidarity"?


Britain must take foreign policy back from Brussels

A sovereign Britain should rediscover her sympathy for national movements. She should prefer countries to be united by trade than by political structures. She should sponsor the spread of individual liberty and property rights, and thereby guarantee her own prosperity as a commercial nation. She should work with friends and allies around the world instead of narrowing her horizons to Europe. She should put her faith elected national politicians rather than remote supra-national bureaucracies. She should combine military preparedness with a preference for non-intervention: war is a terrible destroyer of freedom as well as of people and property. An ability to intervene, combined with a reluctance to become entangled - "splendid isolation" as the policy came to be called in retrospect - brought Britain to her highest point as a nation. Finally, she should recognise the extent to which her outlook and interests are congruent with those of the wider family of free English-speaking peoples, the Anglosphere.

These precepts may sound banal, platitudinous even. But they are far removed from the assumptions of Eurocrats and their FCO proxies. The EU tends to favour stability over democracy. To the despair of Washington, Brussels has declared its intention to sell arms to Beijing. The EU refuses to back anti-Communist dissidents in Cuba, and has spent 15 years cosying up to the ayatollahs in Teheran. At the same time, Brussels seeks to replicate its structures on other continents, pouring money into the various campaigns to turn Mercosur, ASEAN and the rest into supra-national blocs, often refusing to sign trade or aid deals with individual states unless they join their regional associations. The EU dislikes and distrusts the principle of national self-determination, understanding that if that principle were accepted for, say, Kosovan Serbs, South Ossetians or Macedonian Albanians, the intellectual basis of European integration would be pulverised.

For Britain, this emphasis on preserving multi-national entities represents a complete reversal of what was once the basis of our foreign policy. Traditionally, Britain was a friend to national liberation movements. As Lord Randolph Churchill observed: "England has ever made the cause of nations her own cause. She supported the national movements of Germany and the Low Countries against Bonaparte. Her sympathy was with Greece, Hungary and Italy, and with the South American republics." To this day, Canning's name is honoured by Latin Americans, who know that they owe their independence as much to the Royal Navy as to Bolívar or San Martín. Twice during the twentieth century, Britain would go on to embark on ruinous wars because a friendly country's sovereignty had been violated. Indeed, the notion that the Second World War was a battle on behalf of all nations would become a favourite refrain for Lord Randolph's son.

An independent Britain, in short, should be a champion of independence for all peoples. She should exhibit that highest form of patriotism: a concern for the freedom of friendly countries. But the first step is to take foreign policy back from Brussels.
