TRUE FACTS ABOUT LADY GAGA!

A few days ago, for some bizarre reason, I just kept thinking up "True Facts!" about Lady Gaga. My "True facts!" are so random and strange, that making up a bunch about Lady Gaga, the queen of random and strange, just seemed like a perfect match. I ended up with so many facts about her that instead of having them be part of my regular "True Facts!" series, I decided to make them into a completely separate post. As with all my "True Facts!" they are anything but true, though Lady Gaga is such an eccentric, that you never know - some of them might be! :p

Art and Sports

I have never liked Sports. I have never really known why, they simply do not interest me. I am much more into things that engage me emotionally and intellectually. Things that amaze me, or just make me laugh.

Recently the YouTuber Devin Graham posted a video that got me to thinking about sports in a different way.



At the end he linked to two more of his videos that I had seen before, but I had not given them as much thought as I had seeing them all at once.





Watching them all together made me really examine why I didn't like sports, because these video are sports videos, but I thoroughly enjoyed all of them.

I've come to the conclusion that I do not like organized sports because of the forced rivalries, and the manufactured hatred that the teams impose upon their players and fans. (No, not every sports fan or player is hateful, but there are a LOT that are.)

Devin Graham's videos showcase people who enjoy sports outside of the rivalries and multi-million dollar paychecks. The people in his videos are doing things that they love to do and it shows. It reminded me of a quote that I loved from the movie Speed Racer. Speed's mother is telling him why she goes to the races, even though it scares her to watch him risk his life.

"Speed, when I watch you do some of the things you do....I feel like I'm watching someone paint or make music. I go to the races to watch you make art. And it's beautiful... and inspiring... and everything that art should be."

I have come to the conclusion that I do not hate sports, I just don't like competitive sports. I like watching people play sports when they are doing it for the joy of it.

To paraphrase Mom Racer, Watching people doing what they love to do is beautiful and inspiring and it's everything that sports should be.

Apparently I'm Heartless

I am a heartless human being.

Today I saw a post on facebook. It was a poem that claimed to be a true story. It was about a boy who was beaten by his parents. The poem was written in the first person perspective. The boy told how he was locked up at home alone, and that his face was so swollen he couldn't see. He goes on and on about how he doesn't know what he did wrong, but he'll try to be good so he will only get one beating when his mother comes home. Toward the end of poem he claims that his father comes home, blames him for all his problems, throws him against a wall and kills him. Then he tells you to share his story and if you don't he'll pray for you because you would have to be a heartless person to not share it.

Fine. Pray for me, dead kid. I'm heartless.

I could care less about a fictional kid who pretends to be real. I am so tired of facebook posts and e-mails that try to emotionally manipulate you into spreading them.

I'm sick of being told that I hate God because I didn't pass on a sappy e-mailed poem. I'm sick of being told I have no respect for a kid with cancer because I didn't spam my friend's Facebook walls with his story. I'm sick of all the posts from all the mindless sheep who repost all this fake garbage just because they're told to, and that they are an uncaring, God-hating, heathen if they don't.

Last I checked, God didn't judge you on how many poems about him you shared with all your Facebook friends. Last I checked, e-mailing everyone you know a picture of a kid with cancer didn't make you a caring person.

Here's an idea. You want to be a caring person AND show God you love Him? Find a REAL kid with cancer and do something for him. Pay some of his bills, buy him a book, be a friend to him. Then tell NO ONE about it. Don't post one scrap of information about anything you do on Facebook.

These e-mails and posts on Facebook are worthless. The only purpose of any of them is so that people can prove what a "Great Christian" they are, and how caring they are, to a bunch of "Friends" who don't even care about them. You don't need to prove anything to anyone. Just be a good person and forget about what anyone else thinks. The only people who matter are you, God, and whoever you helped.

TRUE FACTS! 3!

 photo TrueFacts_zps430d290d.png

Did you know that there are no such things as manatees? They are actually a legendary creature invented by hippos, in much the same way that mermaids were invented by lovesick sailors. True fact!

Did you know that Rubber Duckies are actually real live animals? The squeak made when they are squeezed is actually a terrified scream of anguish. True fact!

Did you know that there is a McDonald's in Arkansas that is haunted by the ghosts of three giraffes and a Yeti? No one knows for sure what these spirits have against this establishment, but legend says that the giraffes may have come in for some McFlurries and then were kidnapped and later all served on sesame seed buns. The legend of the yeti says that he was discriminated against, and refused service. He later wandered out of town where he died of starvation. All four unfortunate creatures have been haunting the restaurant ever since. True fact!

Did you know that sloths are a breed of monkey? They are the laziest, smelliest, red-neck-inest monkeys in the entire world. They only eat leftover fast food, and they never bathe. They are so disgusting that their entire body goes moldy, even though they are still alive. True fact!

Did you know that tacos were invented by the ancient Greeks? True fact!

Did you know that UFOs are the ghosts of dead Frisbees? True fact!

Did you know the the footwear, clogs, got their name when a small child flushed one down a toilet? True Fact!

Did you know that sea lions are really genetically engineered dog/fish hybrids? True fact!

Did you know there there is an island in the middle of the pacific ocean where Styrofoam peanuts are considered a delicacy? True fact!

Did you know that the Keebler elves don't actually make the cookies? They used to, but they outsource to Chinese elves now. True fact!

Did you know that Corn's real name is Plarpis? The name was deemed to be offensive in 1897 by the Official US Board of Overprotective Mothers Against Potty Words who got the name banned and replaced with "Corn." True fact!

Did you know that Elvis is the origin of almost every Bigfoot sighting in Colorado? After his falsely reported death, he went crazy, moved into the forest, and never shaved or wore clothing again. Now no one can tell the difference between him and a giant ape. True fact!

Did you know that the legend of fairies came to be in 1751 when a little girl named Zora Kiplingburg saw a butterfly kidnapping an elf and thought it was a tiny person with wings? True fact!

Did you know that spray cheese is really just old, rotten Reddi-Wip? True fact!

Did you know that toasters were invented by a kitten named Doris? True fact!

Did you know that an LA woman named her child Velveeta because she loved cheese dip more than anything else in the world? True fact!

Did you know that balloons are the eggs of the elusive explosive invisible albatross? True fact!

Did you know that unlike other birds, you can assist the baby elusive explosive invisible albatross while it's hatching by poking its egg with a sharp object? True fact!

Did you know that the feathered boa is the most endangered species of snake in the entire world? It was almost hunted to extinction in the 1970's by rich, elderly socialites, Vegas showgirls, and drag queens. True fact!

Did you know that hillbillies in the south believe in a mysterious race of underground creatures that only emerge during holidays to steal gravy? They call them the Gargling Gravy Goblins, and they do exactly as their name suggests. Before every holiday meal, the family's youngest child is sent outside with a bowl of gravy as an offering to appease the Great Goblin Governor so that all the Guerrilla Goblin Guards will not break into their home and grab all their gravy. True fact!

Video Blitz

I have seen a whole bunch of great videos recently, and I wanted to compile them into one blog post to share them all. Because they are awesome. Enjoy. :)

The first video is from MysteryGuitarMan. He was the first YouTuber I ever followed, it was because of him that I discovered a wealth of independent talent on YouTube. This video is one of his best in a long time. For anyone interested, all the clips that are featured in the video are from other YouTubers.



The next video is another one that just made me laugh. A guy doing a Gollum impression covering a Taylor Swift song. You just need to watch it. :p



I hear this song every day at the store where I work, and I have to say, I like this version so much better. :D

The next video is a dance video. It is amazing. Watch it.



Next is an ad for Dennys. Why would I like a video from Denny's so much? It was made by Rhett and Link, and it is hilarious!



The next one is a sequel to the last one, and is just as funny.



This next one is a time lapse video of Riga, Latvia. I love time lapse videos in general, but this one seems especially unique to me. I really like it.



This last video I am sharing because it made me laugh harder than anything I've seen in a very long time. Seriously. I was in stitches the entire time. I have rewatched this so many times now, I have lost count. :D

And I 'tink' you need some help.


Ripple for a boy is also a unique name. My baby is due in Dec. and we have decided on Ripple Journey.

A Twist Ending: 3!

Week after week he came into the store, spreading nausea to all he passed. Displays of flowers wilted, turning black and crumbling away as he walked by. Milk curdled, cheese spoiled, and half and half repackaged itself as sour cream. The checker’s heartbeats quickened and their eyes took on a look of panic as they saw him coming. It was the man who never bathed!
I've never done an intro like this before, but the above paragraph didn't fit into the story the way I wanted it to, and I couldn't let it go to waste. :)

For this installment of "A Twist Ending," I decided to do something a little different. The offending person was not rude in the normal sense, so I didn't feel the need to kill him off. But he did need... Something... This story is all true, at least, the first two paragraphs are. As before, I have limited myself to 200 words or less. This time I ended with 199.

~

Slowly the man approached my register and set his groceries on the belt. I did my best not to audibly gag at the stench. He reeked of body oder and cigarettes. It was the same every week. My coworkers and I were positive that he never bathed or changed his clothes.

I tried to hold my breath as I processed his order, but he couldn’t figure out the credit card machine, and I had to take a ragged breath. Another coworker helped him finish and we breathed a sigh of relief as he slowly shuffled out of the store.

As the man plodded through the parking lot, a passing tanker of body wash crashed into a circus semi, and careened down the embankment into the parking lot. It hit the cement and burst like a giant balloon, sending forth a tidal wave of soap, carrying the man across the lot, covering him in a thick layer of Ocean Breeze. Meanwhile a herd of elephants stamped from the circus trailer and raced toward the man, blasting him with high pressure streams of water from their trunks. In less than a minute the man was sparkling clean, and he smelled glorious.

New character overload! Normally if I come up with new characters I just introduce one or two at a time, but not today! I am introducing six new regular characters all in one post! Plus, I've decided that a few of my characters are going to get in on the This-isn't-Twitter-but-we're-doing-it-anyway, hash-tag craze. Enjoy!

Leia Organic Why not switch to an organic diet instead of eating out? It would probably save your life. From the sounds of your status, you're probably only a few days away from a heart attack!

R.W. Republicrazy All the legal gun owners automatically become targets!

Indie Pendant So? They're not taking your guns. Why would they need to come after you?
Connie Conspiracy They'll round us up and put us in concentration camps! We have guns, so they know we're a threat!

Indie Pendant Wow. That is so ridiculous I don't even know where to start.

R.W. Republicrazy I don't know about concentration camps, but it wouldn't surprise me. I'm more worried about the Mexican drug lords. As soon as they get our names, we're dead!

Indie Pendant Ok, even if that were just slightly possible, why would they come after all the gun owners in the US? That's just insane! You guys HAVE GUNS. Why would they purposely put themselves in that kind of danger?

R.W. Republicazy Because they're evil! Why else?

Indie Pendant Once again I'm just going to have to give up. You can't talk sense into the senseless.

TRUE FACTS ABOUT MR. ROGERS!

Watching the video about Mr Rogers that I recently shared got me to thinking about all myths surrounding Mr. Rogers that aren't true. Claims that he was a sniper in the army, that he had tattoos which he covered with his cardigans, the worst being that he actually hated kids.

All these fake stories about him reminded me of the inspiration for my original True facts! post, the lists of lies spread around facebook as truth. So I thought to myself, well, why don't I just make up a bunch of things about Mr. Rodgers too? I already write "True Facts" about all sorts of other things, why not Mr. Rogers? So I did. :)

Disclaimer: None of this is meant to make fun of, or belittle Mr. Rogers in any way. He was one of my favorite people when I was young, so this is my way of paying tribute to him. Yes, I know this is a weird, random way to pay tribute to a person, but I'm a weird random person myself. You knew that already.

If you watched Mr. Rogers as much as I did as a kid, you'll notice a lot of very obscure references to some really random things that most people wouldn't get. I had a lot of fun writing these! :)




Did you know that Mr. Rogers' real name was Frederic Roberto Luigi Alexander the Greatest? He thought the name was a little pretentious, so he shortened it to just Fred. True fact!

Did you know that Mr. Rodgers fish were not real? They were highly advanced robotic fish developed by the Sesame Street puppeteers, and planted in Mr. Rogers' home to spy on him in order to find out the secrets of his awesomeness. True fact!

Did you know that, in addition to being one of the top children's television hosts of all time, Mr. Rogers was also a crime-fighting ninja? Whenever he was alerted to danger in his neighborhood he would send Trolly to the Neighborhood of Make-Believe to distract the kids who were watching. Then he would quickly change into his black ninja sweater, sneakers, and mask, and stealthily hunt down the evil-doers, taking them out using only his wits and a pair of nun-chucks. True fact!

Did you know that Mr. Rogers was an expert ballet and break dancer? True fact!

Did you know that Mr. Rogers was a classically trained kazooist? True fact!

Did you know that Mr. McFeely was the leader of the only known tricycle gang in the US? True fact! 

Did you know that the Neighborhood of Make-Believe is actually a real city on a planet in the Cardigan Galaxy? The trolly gets there through a wormhole that is inside his tunnel. True fact!

Did you know that King Friday is in his second marriage? His first wife, The African Warrior Queen Zanobia Zimbabwe, disappeared in India during the tiger hunt that discovered the orphaned baby Daniel Striped Tiger. True fact!

Did you know that Lady Elaine Fairchilde and Handyman Negri were the lead singer/guitar players in a hair metal band called "The Scheming Screamers"? True fact!

Did you know that Planet Purple was created when Asteroid Azure slammed into Moon Maroon and fused into one large planet? True fact!

Did you know that the Purple Panda is actually an immigrant from China whose fur was tinted by the newly formed planet's amethyst atmosphere. True fact!

Did you know that the Platypus Family are actually all beavers? They wear duck bills because they are all in the Witness Protection Program, and need to keep their true identities a secret. True fact!

Did you know that Henrietta Pussycat and X the Owl, were secretly married? Such a scandalous interracial relationship would have been frowned upon in those days, so they decided it would be better to pretend that they were just neighbors. Mr. Rogers was the only person caring enough to accept them just as they were. True fact!

Did you know that X the Owl's real name is not X? No one, aside from Henrietta Pussycat, actually knows anything about X, let alone his real name. His entire life is shrouded in a dark cloak of mystery... True fact!

Did you know that Mr. McFeely used to deliver the mail by motorcycle? The Council of Disapproving Mothers thought that the motorcycle sent a bad message to children and forced PBS to replace it with a tricycle. True fact!

Did you know that the entire story of Josephine the Short-Necked Giraffe was completely animated in one of the earliest known uses of CGI in television history? True fact!

Did you know that the song, "Won't You Be My Neighbor?" was originally a lively polka number? In the early seasons, before the show became wildly popular, Mr. Rogers and Mr McFeely would enter the house together, playing an accordion and a tuba, and they would sing and dance for about ten minutes every episode. True fact!

Did you know that Picture Picture was actually an iPad from the future, given to Mr. Rogers by Steve Jobs' great, great, great grandson who invented the first working time machine? It functions similar to the magic mirror in Beauty and the Beast. True fact!

Did you know that, contrary to popular belief, Mr. Rogers was NOT a Presbyterian? He absolutely hated the taste of Presbyteries, and wouldn't even dream of eating one. He much preferred the the subtle, earthy flavors of Agraries, and the humble flavors of a good Proletary. On occasion he would treat himself to a well-aged Octogenary, paired with a full, robust Totalitary. True fact!

Did you know that Mr. McFeely's middle name was Gladys? He never told a single person other than Mr. Rogers because he knew that Mr. Rogers, being the kind, gentle soul that he was, was the only person on earth that wouldn't laugh at him. True fact!

Death of the Last Chimpanzee

Would anyone like to see the application video I sent in to Madame Leanne that impressed her so much, she offered me a full ride scholarship to her prestigious school of interpretive dance and basket-weaving? Well, too bad because: APRIL FOOL!!!

In case you missed yesterday's post, you may want to bring yourself up to speed by clicking HERE.

So, if you couldn't tell, that post was 100% fiction. I am not quitting my art education, I am not moving to Paris, and I am not taking up interpretive dance. Hopefully you were able to figure this out on your own. :)

I tried to make the story as unbelievable as possible, but I have done this in the past, and had people actually believe it. Two years ago I wrote a post claiming that I was dropping out of school and hitchhiking to New York to become a street mime. If you'd like to read that post you may find it HERE.

Sometime later, dad came home and said a family friend had asked how I was, and if he had heard from me recently. They had seen the first post, but not the follow up post the next day. I love that someone found my ridiculous story believable. :D Were any of you fooled? I hope not, but if you were, let me know! :)

Direction For the Future

As most of you know, I recently enrolled in Iowa State University to get my Bachelors of Art degree.
As some of you know, I have always wanted to learn how to dance.
As none of you know, the kind of dance that fascinates me most is interpretative dance.

To that end, I have decided to cancel my enrollment at ISU and move to Paris, France immediately to enroll at Madame Leanne's School of Interpretative Dance and Basket-Weaving. (Madame Leanne is a very eccentric teacher.) I sent in my application video last week and I got a reply from Madame Leanne herself within the hour. She said that I was a natural, and that the dance that I had choreographed and performed myself, entitled "Death of the Last Chimpanzee" was the most hauntingly beautiful thing she had ever seen in her entire life. She then offered me a full ride scholarship if I would only come and study under her tutelage. Personally, I think that she can sense my potential to be the most famous interpretive dancer in the entire world, and she really only wants to ride on my coat-tails to fame and fortune of her own, but I can't pass up the opportunity for a free education!

Anyway, I should get going for now. I have lots to do before I leave for Paris, and I'm working on my next original performance. I'm calling it "Dance of the Weeping Naked Mole Rat." It's gonna be an emotional punch in the gut! I'll post videos when I'm done! See you all when I get back from France!
