It's Amaaaa-zing

That was my attempt to sing the "Amazing" song by Aerosmith. I am referring to the fan-freaking-tastic reality show "Amazing Race."

It was on last night and entertaining as always. It's down to 4 teams. The team who are cousins and one is tall, blond and skinny and the other one is a "little person" is still on the show. I want them off. Not because of the little person. She's cool. Her tall skinny cousin NEEDS TO GO though. Pronto. She is so friggin annoying and puts on this weird "accent" whenever she talks to locals...it's just so insulting! And she's manipulative. She makes my skin crawl.

Just like "Sangina" from American Idol. Uggghhhh! I know these are "reality" shows and all, but if these producers could just conveniently rid of the annoying people on them, it would please me mucho.

What is wrong with people?!?!?!

OK, seriously...what is wrong with people? Why are there these crazies that think shooting a bunch of people is a good idea?

By now, I'm sure you've heard about the crazy nut job who killed 32 people at Virginia Tech. This just infuriates me and makes me so sad at the same time. It's just so senseless and tragic. What made the shooter so unhappy and miserable? Why was he so messed up? I just don't get it. If he was that unhappy, he should have just sucked it up and gone to Disneyland...or gotten his frustrations out with a good kickboxing workout...or go to a shooting range and shoot paper targets for crying out loud!!!

33 people (including the shooter) gone, just like that, making it the worst shooting in the U.S. Such a shame. My heart goes out to the friends and families of the victims.

So I know it's been a while...

Yes, ok, ok....I haven't updated my blog in a while. I lag.

But I am back on the wagon...atleast for today...and have decided to post a photo of the surfboard I painted at my work. Employees were given the opportunity to design their own surfboards for our new "Catch A Wave" exhibit which debuts Friday, May 25th (and which you should all check out...but not Memorial Day weekend because it will be a madhouse!!)

So I'm dedicating my surfboard to my Dad, and the artist Magritte was my inspiration. Here is an example of Magritte's style and where I got the idea to paint the elements (although he depicts 6 and I'm pretty sure we only have 4 elements buddy). This painting is one of his better known pieces (and it was featured in that movie "Thomas Crown Affair").

I really enjoyed the painting process. Maybe that means I should take some painting classes to nurture my artistic side. Or...maybe this means I should stick to my day job.
