Internet Island Topic Post #24: Our Cultural Icons

WHAT A CAN OF WORMS THIS OPENS.
I LOVE IT.
YES, I HAVE MET SEVERAL OF THEM.

LETS SEE.

BACK IN THE 80S, AFTER MY DIVORCE,
I STARTED GOING TO THIS CLUB HERE IN ATL
CALLED CHARLEY MCGRUDERS.
IT WAS PRETTY BIG FOR MUSICIANS HANGING OUT.
A LOT OF THEM WERE LOCAL MUSICIANS, AT LEAST
THEN THEY WERE, AND SOME WERE KNOWN
BACK THEN, BUT NOT NOW.

LETS SEE WHO I MET.

I MET THE BAND KANSAS, WHICH WAS A
LOCAL BAND IN GEORGIA, SOME OF YOU MAY
REMEMBER THEM, THE SONG DUST IN THE WIND.


I HAVE MET GREGG ALLMAN, HE WAS DRUNK AND
BASICALLY HITTING ON ME AND MY FRIEND, AND
WE DIDNT WANT ANY PART OF IT.
THIS WAS POST CHER.


I MET JOHNNY VANZANT (LEFT LYNARD SKYNARD/DONNIE
IS ON THE RIGHT FROM 38 SPECIAL), HE WAS DRUNK,
I WAS WAITING ON HIM, LOTS OF CROWN AND
COKE AND ALL I GOT WAS A DAMN STRAW
(APPARENTLY HE FELT THAT WAS WORTH THE TIP AS
I COULD KEEP IT, BUT I KNEW HIS BROTHER AND
HE WAS NOTHING COMPARED TO DONNIE).

I MET VARIOUS DIFFERENT PEOPLE FROM VARIOUS
DIFFERENT LOCAL SOUTHERN ROCK BANDS.


I MET THE GUITARIST FOR SKID ROW,
SCOTT "SNAKE" SABO.

WHO DO I KNOW THOUGH?

A LOT OF THESE PEOPLE I KNOW FROM BACK THEN,
ACTUALLY HUNG OUT WITH,
BUT HAVE LOST TOUCH WITH SINCE THEN.


DONT KNOW IF ANYONE REMEMBERS THE PRODUCERS
BUT THEY WERE AROUND BACK IN THE DAY,
MY HUSBAND WORKED FOR THEM.
HERE IS THE VIDEO THAT AIRED ON MTV
WHEN MTV STARTED

I KNOW RICKY RICHARDS FROM GA SATELLITES.

HILLARIOUS WATCHING THE GEORGIA BOYS
AND TRANSLATOR AND HOST....

"KEEP YOUR HANDS TO YOURSELF"


I KNOW JOHNNY COLT (BLACKCROWS BASSIST)
NOW WITH SUPERNOVA. I WAS PREGNANT WITH
STEVIE THEN.


I KNOW .38 SPECIAL
(HUBBY WAS GUITAR TECH FOR THEM)


I HAVE MET CHRIS ROBINSON
(BLACKCROWS/KATE HUDSONS EXHUSBAND).


I KNOW MOTHERS FINEST.

MOTHERS FINEST IN GERMANY I THINK 2003


I KNOW ALLEN AYO WHO WAS THE DISC JOCKEY
HERE IN ATL ON 96 ROCK, WHO IS
NOW IN TEXAS AT THE EDGE.

I KNOW SEVENDUST'S TOUR MANAGER,
USED TO HANG OUT AND GET DRUNK WITH HER.

I KNOW SOME CHRISTIAN BANDS ALSO,

THIRD DAY, WHOM I ACTUALLY USED TO
WRITE ARTICLES ABOUT FOR THIS MAG WE DID
AND ALSO WENT TO COLLEGE THE SAME TIME AND
WOULD EAT LUNCH TOGETHER.


STAVESACRE, WHOM WE MET AT A FESTIVAL WHEN
THE LEAD SINGER WAS WITH THE CRUCIFIED
WHOM TRAVIS BECAME GREAT FRIENDS WITH,
HE CALLED TRAVIS MR. T.

I KNOW I HAVE LEFT PEOPLE OUT, JUST DRAWING A BLANK. OH WELL. SO HOPE YOU ENJOYED MY TRIP THROUGH MEMORY LAND.

JUST A FEW WORDS........

AMERICAN IDOL...............

CHRIS CUT,
ANOTHER WEEK OF THE HAIRDO KING......

I HAVE ALWAYS HAD PROBLEMS WITH THE POLLEN,
I GET THE SNEEZING, WATERY EYES,
HEAVY HEAD, FEELING LIKE ICK!!!

BUT WHEN I WALKED OUTSIDE THIS MORNING

LIKE MY CHEST WAS CAVING IN...

Wolfgang Laib creates one of his works, Pollen From Pine

AND TO THINK THIS GUY IS MAKING ART WITH IT..
HE NEEDS TO MAKE HIS WAY TO MY HOUSE AND COLLECT
WHAT IS ON MY BACK PORCH, WHICH IS JUST AS THICK!!

TODAYS POLLEN COUNT IS 5937. 

SORRY THAT IS ALL FOR NOW, GOTTA GET TO WORK!!!

DOES THIS GUY NOT REALIZE HE IS THE LAUGHING STOCK OF IDOL?

I AM TOTALLY SPEECHLESS...NOT!!!!

I THINK THAT IS REALLY SUCKS THAT SOMEONE WHO IS THAT BAD IS BEING KEPT ON THERE WHEN SOME REALLY GREAT SINGERS ARE BEING DISMISSED AND FOR WHAT? 

A DAMN JOKE, TO MAKE SOME KIND OF POINT, TO GET RID OF SIMON? 

ANYWAY, AS LONG AS THE ONES I LIKE ARE ON THERE, WHICH ARE GINA, BLAKE, AND MELINDA I WILL WATCH, BUT ONCE THEY ARE GONE, I AM TOO..... 

LUCKILY, I RECORD IT SO THEREFORE I CAN JUST FASTFORWARD PAST ALL THE CRAP.

I LOVE GETTING UP IN THE MORNING
AND SITTING ON THE BACKPORCH AND
LISTENING TO THE BIRDS AND
WATCHING THEM FLY AROUND. 

I LOVE THE FLOWERS BLOOMING AND
THE TREES COMING TO LIFE.

I LOVE THE FACT THAT I CAN
OPEN MY WINDOWS AND LET A
BREEZE BLOW IN WHILE I SLEEP.

SORRY HAVENT BEEN AROUND MUCH
LATELY, BUT AS USUAL, ONE THING
AFTER ANOTHER HAS GOTTEN MY
ATTENTION AND TIME AND JUST
FEEL LIKE A WALKING ZOMBIE LATELY.

I AM IN A REALLY GOOD MOOD THOUGH,

AIT SCHOOL, GOT HIS WINGS.

SO, HOW ARE ALL OF YOU DOING?

Internet Island Topic Post #23: Making Mistakes

This time our topic is going to be about mistakes. Instead of asking specific questions, (but including a series of questions to either answer individually or to get you writers and would be writers thinking) I want you to read the following quotations and questions, and then create a blog entry in your own style (as you usually do) about a mistake, either personal or global. How do you "feel" about the concept of the "mistake". This word gets thrown around a lot in the workplace. Especially when something goes wrong. The fantastic successes are never noted or noticed because they work. Everyone zeroes in on the mistake.

           "Everyone makes mistakes"

Or do they?
 
Have you ever made a mistake?

Did you ever do the right thing?

Did you ever do the right thing and somebody
you respected thought it was a mistake?

Are mistakes merely tools of learning?
Do we "Learn from our mistakes."

Are mistakes necessarily "bad"?
Should we indicate where mistakes are made?

What is a "happy accident"?

What is the "greatest mistake" in history or memory?

Could someone's greatest mistake be another's greatest victory?
(Ask Napoleon about that one.)

Is the concept of "blame" associated with the concept of the "mistake"?
Should it be?

I DECIDED TO START WITH THE
ACTUAL DEFINITION OF MISTAKE.

mis·take      (mi-stak')  Pronunciation Key 
n.  

1. 
   
   An error or fault resulting from defective judgment,
   deficient knowledge, or carelessness.


2. 
   
   A misconception or misunderstanding.

IT IRRITATES ME THAT PEOPLE THROW THAT
WORD AROUND, LIKE THE WORD LOVE FOR INSTANCE. 
I AM SO SICK OF HEARING PEOPLE SAY THEY LOVE
ME THAT HAVE ON IDEA WHAT LOVE REALLY IS
OR EVEN KNOW ME ENOUGH TO LOVE ME,
 JUST AS IN A SLANG SORT OF WAY. 

TO MAKE A MISTAKE, AS THE ABOVE DEFINITION STATES
IS AN ERROR OR FAULT RESULTING IN DEFECTIVE
JUDGMENT, DEFICIENT KNOWLEDGE, OR CARELESSNESS,
MISCONCEPTION OR MISUNDERSTANDING.

TO ME THAT MEANS THAT YOU REALLY HONESTLY DID
NOT HAVE ANY IDEA IT WAS HAPPENING, IT WAS
TRUELY AN ACCIDENTAL THING, OR TRUELY AND
ERROR IN NOT THINKING SOMETHING THROUGH. 
GETTING A TATTOO THAT YOU REGRET DOWN THE
ROAD IS A PERFECT EXAMPLE OF A MISTAKE. 
ASK JOHNNY DEPP ABOUT THAT ONE!!

FOR SOMEONE TO SAY THEY MADE A MISTAKE DAMN
WELL KNOWING THAT THE END RESULT OF WHAT THEY
WERE DOING WOULD RESULT IN ERROR IS WRONG,
IT IS MORE OF A LIE.  THAT TO ME IS NOT A MISTAKE
BUT NO MORE THAN A EXCUSE FOR LYING OR
CHEATING OR WHATEVER THE CASE MAY BE. 

WHAT DO I CONSIDER A MISTAKE YOU ASK........ 
I REALLY CANT EXPLAIN WHAT I WOULD CONSIDER
A MISTAKE, BUT I CAN TELL YOU WHAT I DONT
CONSIDER A MISTAKE.  HERE ARE A FEW EXAMPLES:

SPOUSAL ABUSE....THAT IS NOT A MISTAKE, IT IS
BULLYING AND BLAMING IT ON A LAPSE OF JUDGEMENT
OR WHAT NOT IS TOTAL BS..... THE ONLY MISTAKE IN
MY OPINION MADE DURING SPOUSAL ABUSE IS THE
FACT THAT IF YOU DONT MAKE THE "MISTAKE" OF
KILLING ME, YOU WILL LATER WISH YOU DID. 

CHILD ABUSE..... SAME AS ABOVE PRETTY MUCH. 
IT IS BULLYING AND THE ONLY DIFFERENCE IN
THE MISTAKE IS THAT I WILL MAKE SURE THAT YOU
FEEL YOUR MISTAKE BY PAYING THE REST OF YOUR LIFE.

SEXUAL ABUSE..... READ ABOVE.

THOSE ARE ONLY A FEW EXAMPLES THAT ARE
NEAR AND DEAR TO MY HEART.....

HAVE I MADE A MISTAKE?  WELL LETS SEE.....
CONSIDERING THAT I HAVE BEEN ON THE RECIEVING
END OF SPOUSAL ABUSE, I WOULD SAY YES. 
MY MISTAKE WAS BELIEVING HIM, TRUSTING HIM,
AND RELYING ON HIM.  THE MISTAKE WAS MARRYING HIM. 

DID I DO THE RIGHT THING? 
HELL YES, I GOT OUT OF THAT RELATIONSHIP AND DISAPPEARED. 

WHEN I MAKE A MISTAKE WHAT DO I DO? 
ME MYSELF, I GENUINELY TRY TO CORRECT THE MISTAKE
AND LEARN (YES OPERATIVE WORD HERE LEARN) SO
THAT I DONT MAKE THAT MISTAKE AGAIN!!!

DOING THE RIGHT THING AND BEING TOLD YOU
MADE A MISTAKE, THAT IS ANOTHER QUESTION....
I HAVE TO SAY YES, I HAVE DONE THE RIGHT THING
AND BEEN TOLD I MADE A MISTAKE.... THAT IS LIKELY
TO HAPPEN WHEN YOUR MORALS TELL YOU SOMETHING
THAT SOMEONE IS DOING IS WRONG AND THE PERSON
THAT IT WILL EFFECT NEEDS TO KNOW AND YOU TELL
AND THEN ALL THE SUDDEN, YOU ARE THE BAD GUY!!! 

I DONT CARE, I HAVE TO PUT MYSELF IN THE
SITUATION OF ASKING "WOULD I WANT TO KNOW THE
TRUTH" AND YES IT MAY HURT, BUT I WANT TO
KNOW THEREFORE, PEOPLE CAN SAY IT WAS
A MISTAKE, BUT I DONT THINK SO!!

DO WE LEARN FROM OUR MISTAKES. 
I THINK PEOPLE WHO KNOW THE REAL MEANING
OF A MISTAKE AND GENUINELY GET IT DO LEARN
FROM THEIR MISTAKES, BUT THE ONES WHO THROW
THAT WORD AROUND, MY OPINION IS THAT IT IS
JUST A WORD AND NO THEY DONT LEARN AT ALL!!

MISTAKES SHOULDNT BE BAD, BUT SOMETIMES THEY ARE. 
I BELIEVE THAT THEY COME IN DIFFERENT STAGES,
MISTAKES WITH MATH CAN RESULT IN NOTHING SERIOUS,
UNLESS YOU ARE A BOOKKEEPER,
THEN YOU COULD SEE JAIL IN THE FUTURE...

SHOULD WE INDICATE WHERE MISTAKES ARE MADE?  
THAT DEPENDS, WHERE WAS THE MISTAKE MADE AND
WHO OR HOW DOES IT EFFECT THINGS?   
ASK THE MAN IN THE ABOVE PICTURE!!!

PETEY MADE A MISTAKE STICKING HIS HEAD IN THE BISCUT JAR

THIS COULD HAVE BEEN BAD,
BUT LUCKILY TURNED OUT GOOD...

A HAPPY ACCIDENT WOULD BE LIKE BUMPING INTO
YOUR SOULMATE, BUT I WOULDNT REALLY KNOW THE
ANSWER TO THAT ONE, BUT IT SOUNDS GOOD TO ME!! 
CHERYL CROW WROTE ABOUT IT "FAVORITE MISTAKE". 
ALSO, ANOTHER EXAMPLE WOULD BE MAKING AWRONG
TURN SOMEWHERE DRIVING ON THE ROAD AND
FINDING A WONDERFUL BEAUTIFUL SITE!!

GREATEST MISTAKE IN HISTORY.....
CHRISTOPHER COLUMBUS ENDING UP HERE INSTEAD OF ASIA...
THAT WOULD HAVE TO BE IT!!

WORST MISTAKE IN HISTORY (MY OPINION)....
NOT KILLING BIN LADEN WHEN WE HAD THE CHANCE
"THANKS PRESIDENT CLINTON!!! MAYBE IF YOU HAD
SMOKED YOUR CIGARS INSTEAD OF PLAYING WITH
THEM YOU MIGHT HAVE KNOW THIS!!!"

COULD SOMEONE ELSES MISTAKE BE ANOTHER'S GREATEST HISTORY?  
I CAN ANSWER THAT IN TWO WORDS.........................
SPELLING BEE!!!!

MISTAKE AND BLAME........
WELL THAT DEPENDS ON WHO IS MAKING THE MISTAKE
AND THE EFFECT OF ONES MISTAKE...  IF IT EFFECTS NO
ONE YOU HAVE NO ONE BUT YOURSELF TO BLAME,
ON THE OTHER HAND, IF IT EFFECTS SOMEONE ELSE,
THEN YES, SOMEONE SHOULD TAKE BLAME,
THE QUESTION IS DO THEY?

HOW WOULD YOU ANSWER THOSE QUESTIONS?
