I can't understand how people can't determine reality from fiction.  Matt and Jeff are not feuding in real life people!  For crying out loud....they live together (till Jeff gets a new house built).  I'm so beyond sick of people trashing Matt for this storyline.  It's called ACTING.  I swear, we have licenses for driving, being nurses & doctors, and tons of other things...I think we need a license to watch wrestling, LOL.  Apparently we need a test to determine if we are stable in the head enough to comprehend it's fiction. 

This is not normally the better quality of writing I do, but I'm super sleepy (Benedryl), and need to go to bed. 

But anyhoo, for the record, Matt IS good at acting like he now has disowned his brother.  He's doing his job correctly.  I for one like the storyline.  I found it pretty unpredictable.  In my own opinion.  I do realize in the past they have feuded, but I wasn't watching wrestling back then.  So it's new and unpredictable to me.

Enough rambling for now.  Going to bed.  Must sleep. =P

Night all!

A while back I wrote a poem about my late, and beloved cocker spaniel Rosie,  It's called A Treasure From Above.  Well, I entered it into Poetry.com's contest.  I felt that Rosie was so unique & special that I had to find a way to share her story with the world.  While this was just a poem, and not anywhere near to being her story in its entirety...it painted her picture I think. 

Anyway, about a week ago, I got an email (also through snail mail), saying that my poem had been selected to be entered into a yearly contest where the grand prize is $10,000, and I am also a semi-finalist in a monthly contest with a grand prize of $1,000, PLUS...my poem is going to be in a book titled Immortal Verses (they did say that by the time it gets published that the title may change however)  And then today, I received an email stating that I was being awarded the Editor's Choice Award!  I was/am SO excited! I mean it's not like I have won an actual prize, but it's still so cool.  They also informed me that my poem will be read and recorded by a professional reader and put to a CD with beautiful baroque music in the background.  The cool part is that they said that they only do the CD ever so often, AND that only 33 people's poems get selected for recording!  Anyway, I'm so very happy about it.  Here is a couple of screen shots of my online certificate thingy.  I blacked out my last name on the letter and certificate.  Sorry, it's nothing personal, I've just learned in the past that even giving out your last name can be hazardous. 

I'll post my poem again at the bottom since I'd revised it a bit since the last time I posted it.  It's copyrighted now!! How awesome is that?!   **If the pics are too small you can go to my myspace blog: http://blogs.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=blog.view&friendID=423453835&blogID=467359282

A Treasure From Above

Unfortunately today...I woke up to find a message on my answering machine (didn't hear the phone ringing in my sleep apparently) from my doctor's office telling me that my doctor was out today with a stomach virus and that my ultrasound scheduled for 1:20 this afternoon, had to be postponed till another day.  I have to recall in a bit to re-schedule, but have to wait on my mom to come in on her lunch break.  We have one of those Magic Jacks if you've seen them on tv.  It's basically a portable phone jack that plugs into one of your computer's USB ports & gives you FREE phone calls to anywhere in the United States.  Unfortunately, the Magic Jack quit working on MY computer (we're gonna try re-installing it soon), but it works on my mom's laptop.  So when she comes in she'll boot her laptop up & I'll call to reschedule then.  I'd just call from home but we have no long distance plan (we hardly ever need to make a long distance call; except for my doctors a few towns away), and as you all know I'm sure, long distance is frickin' expensive! LOL.  Anyway, I'm rambling I know...just disappointed so I feel the need to, lol.  I SO wanted to get the ultrasound done today!   I'm tired of not knowing anything.  I've been waiting overall for nearly a month & a half!!  And now, it's gonna be at least another week, b/c my doctor only does the ultrasounds on Thursdays.  

Oh, and as a sidenote, I'm just now getting to watch some of my Ric Flair DVD that I got back at Christmas.  I've not had the time due to my appointments, staying busy with running my group & writing, and life in general. I like to watch wrestling DVDs when I can really pay attention to them; not as just background noise when I'm doing other stuff.  Anyway, I saw the first disc last night while I was doing my nails & other stuff, and was absolutely bawling by the end of it.  The part where he was tearing up during the interview segments, and then seeing footage of him behind the scenes of Wrestlemania 24...Lord....it was hard to NOT bawl.  And I found out some stuff about him that I had no idea about.  I've not read a whole lot about him so this DVD was very beneficial.  I did not know that he'd been a black market baby, or that he had been in a plane crash and broken his back in 3 places.  Makes me feel a bit dumb, lol, because I feel like I should have known it.  But I've only been watching wrestling for the past five years really, so I know that I still have a LOT to learn about.  Anyway, so far the DVD is exellent!
