Clowns

I don't usually say this about anyone or anything, but I seriously hate clowns. And before you say anything, I am not using clowns as a metaphor for anything else. I am literally talking about clowns (you know, like circus clowns and those goofy clowns that make the balloon animals??). I am not quite sure where my fear of clowns originated. My best guess would be that I developed the fear after watching, "Killer Klowns From Outer Space", one too many times. Surely you've seen this quality movie. The clowns take over and turn people into circus peanuts and then drink them using their novelty curly straws. It was horrifying. It kinda made me leery of curly straws too for awhile, but we'll leave that story for another time. Anyway, I received a comment on MySpace earlier this morning and it said something like...

"Everything happens for a reason, except clowns. I mean, what the hell?"

I didn't even know that this person knew about my fear of clowns and maybe they didn't. It was so appropriate though. I totally cracked up! I had to share it. Hopefully you will get a laugh out of it too.

The New Kids on the Block were on the Today Show this morning. They had an amazing performance, as always. If you missed it, you should check it out. In fact, watching the entire last hour would surely give you a good laugh. I love those crazy guys!! They are so freakin' hilarious! I am not just saying that because I am a fan. If you don't believe me, check it out for yourself. They are so quick witted. The release of the "2 In the Morning" video takes place Monday on aol. I can't wait to see it. I have seen bits and pieces. I never knew, until a few days ago, that this song was so close to Donnie's heart. Now that I listen to it, I can totally understand how the song reflects his relationship with his ex-wife. I think that makes me appreciate the song so much more. I am not saying I know Donnie and Kim like that. What I am saying is that this song could be about any couple going through the same trials and tribulations. The song has a much deeper meaning, to me, now.

I am leaving work early tonight. There is an excess of staffing. I will happily take the time though. There are so many things to do! At this time next week, Jennifer and I will be listening to the ocean. I love our BFF trips!!! There is bound to be an abundance of mayhem.

6 Days until Myrtle Beach, SC
24 Days until St. Patty's Day with NKOTB

  2. Killer Clowns From Outer Space! That is one of the stupidest movies ever. I had the pleasure (if you could call it that) of catching that movie on one of the movie channels waaaaay back in the 90's.
