BB6

April’s turn at HOH….

She nominates Howie and Janelle, but wants to backdoor James….

Janelle wins a trip during the veto competition, and April gets the veto…

James is on the block with Howie.

Now…. Why the Hell is everybody getting pissed at Janelle for winning things?

Janelle gets the phone call from Michael- this set off everybody in the house…. April says that if America voted for Janelle to have the call, than American’s are pieces of shit. There are some people in that house who have a very rude awakening when they come out…. April, Maggie, Ivette, Bo… People hate you! They hate Jennifer! They hate Cappy! The entire ‘friendship’ is despised by millions! Kaysar got voted back in by 82%… Janelle gets the phone call… all because we can’t stand your side! Wake up!

James is trying with everything he has to stay in the house… He thinks that he can convince Janelle to vote out Howie rather than him?!? I don’t think so dude….. Bye bye James!

Anyway- guess we’ll see thursday….

Rockstar:INXS

Ty
Rolling Stones “You Can’t Always Get What You Want”

Maybe it’s just me… But Ty needs to get a job with Gwendolyn and the Goodtime Gang or something… he gets this look on his face when he performs that just scares me…. Like he’s some kind of demented Mr. Rogers or something….. I hate the Stones anyway, but he didn’t even live up to their standard… and the choir sounded like crap. Not my favorite of the night.

J.D.
Elvis Presley “Suspicious Minds”

I can’t believe I am going to say this, but he wasn’t bad. He wasn’t good, but it wasn’t bad either. I can see why he had a job as an Elvis impersonator… it works for him. Dance monkey!

Marty
Pink Floyd “Wish You Were Here”

Marty has a talent of taking songs I either don’t like or I am burnt out on and making me want to hear them again…. He did this again last night with this one. Nailed it. And it sounds like ourbandINXS likes the softer side of Marty…

Jordis
John Lennon “Imagine”

Jordis was in my pick for top three of this show a few weeks ago. She has turned into something far from that over the last two weeks. She’s boring. Last week, she straight up sucked… this week, I almost fell asleep.

Mig
Paul McCartney “Live and Let Die”

Worst I have heard Mig perform anything… He took a song I love and slaughtered it. I was glad when it ended.

Suzie
Queen “Bohemian Rhapsody”

She didn’t hit the high notes, but it really didn’t matter… she pulled it off well and had a blast doing it. Suzie has elevated herself in my eyes to the spot Jordis once held.

My bottom three predictions….

Ty – goes home
Jordis
Mig

I’d love to put JD there, but he was ok enough that I think the others were worse.

Marty or Suzie will get the encore, probably Marty….

BTW- The choir was horrible. Maybe it’s just me, I usually like choir music when done well… last night it was just, well…. bad.

There you go… Guess we’ll see tonight if I am right or not….

Hurricane Katrina

Where to begin….

I thought about posting some of the pictures of damage from Hurricane Katrina….

I thought about talking about how New Orleans is now flooding due to the levee breaks…

I thought about talking about the oil rigs that were in the path of the storm…

I though about talking about the people who lost their lives…

But really- all I want to say about it is to take a moment and ask God to help the people who were/are being affected. My thoughts and prayers are with everyone who has been impacted by this storm. The news reports we are seeing are horrifying… God bless you all.

Hurricane Katrina

Posted by guppyman | Posted in Uncategorized | Posted on 28-08-2005

Usually, I think hurricanes are pretty cool. Not sure if cool is the right word really… fascinating maybe? anyway….All Katrina is at this point is SCARY! She hit Category 5 this morning and may be that when she slams into shore….

Here’s the forecast in New Orleans for Monday….

Forecast for New Orleans…..
Monday
Widespread showers and scattered thunderstorms. Hurricane force winds. Some thunderstorms may produce damaging winds and heavy rainfall. Locally heavy rainfall possible. Highs in the upper 80s. Northeast winds 60 to 90 mph with gusts to around 125 mph becoming northwest and decreasing to with gusts to around 115 mph in the afternoon. Chance of showers and thunderstorms 90 percent.

Category 5 CATASTROPHIC DAMAGE
Shrubs and trees blown down; considerable damage to roofs of buildings; all signs down. Very severe and extensive damage to windows and doors. Complete failure of roofs on many residences and industrial buildings. Extensive shattering of glass in windows and doors. Some complete building failures. Small buildings overturned or blown away. Complete destruction of mobile homes. Major damage to lower floors of all structures less than 15 feet above sea level within 500 yards of shore. Low-lying escape routes inland cut by rising water 3 to 5 hours before hurricane center arrives. Massive evacuation of residential areas on low ground within 5 to 10 miles of shore possibly required.

My prayers go out to all those that will be affected by this major storm….

Balloons!!!!

Posted by guppyman | Posted in Uncategorized | Posted on 27-08-2005

This weekend is Ballunar Festival!!! Every year, I get all excited and must get up early and go watch the balloons take off… Today, only my daughter would wake up with me, so off we went…

First- we found a field where they were inflating…. Here’s my daughter and her favorite….

Here’s what this cow wishes everybody would kiss….

Just a few in the sky…

Benihana!

We got real close…. Close enough to feel the heat off the flames….

Another one taking off…

This one is another that we were real close to….

Here we go landing…. We ran around to the other side of NASA to watch them all land and play in the water… Heather discovered that they all will give out trading cards if you ask them thanks to the guys in this balloon…..

Taking a little dip….

On the water….

Anyway- There are a few of the 138 pics I took this morning…. Another launch this evening and another in the morning…. I love this time of year…!

Big Brother sucks, plus more stupid links….

You probably want to see what I think about big Brother last night…. well…. I’ve quit caring! Rachael got sent packing (which sucks) and then April got HOH (which really really sucks). There is no show till Tuesday, so we have a long weekend to get a fix in again…

Best case scenario, Ivette pisses April off enough to evict her (wishful thinking?)… or maybe Maggot will talk her in to backdooring James….. I guess it’s wait and see time.

Anyway- I’m not real thrilled with it at the moment.

So here’s something completely different:

What Should I Do If The Internet Goes Down?

Dogs in Cars – Finally, a website dedicated to posting pictures of dogs in cars on the Internet! I’ve waited so long!

I guess everyone needs a hobby…

Hurricane katrina hit Florida, and if it follows the forcast track, it looks like it’ll hit Florida again….

My man does not need turtle eggs…

Stupid links…..

Posted by guppyman | Posted in Uncategorized | Posted on 25-08-2005

I used to post a bunch of stupid links as I came across them. I haven’t posted any for awhile… Not because I haven’t been looking, because I have… It’s mostly just because the ones I have been finding are just too dumb to rate.

But I decided that I can’t deny you stupid links any longer… so here are a few I found today… Enjoy!

Rockstar:INXS Vote off show….

6

Posted by guppyman | Posted in Uncategorized | Posted on 24-08-2005

Tonight was the vote off show….

Suzie got the encore performance- She looked like she was having the time of her life up there tonight…. It’s the most comfortable I’ve seen her so far. Then she got the honor of being the only one of the seven that was never in the bottom three! WTG Suzie!

First of the bottom- Proud Mary himself, Ty! He sang some crappy song by some crappy band… I guess they liked it… I thought he sucked! The more I watch this show, the more I can’t stand him…. He needs a career making jingles for Nickelodean commercials or something…..

Next was Deanna- She also sang some crappy song by the same ol’ crappy band. I liked her… That raspy voice with the faint tinges of Janis just sounds good…

Last was Marty. I realized something tonight… I have always hated INXS, but I might actually listen to them if they had Marty singing. He brings something to their music that it has severely lacked…. Go figure. Marty blew away the other two…. they could have done a double elimination after that one and it wouldn’t have been that big of shock.

But Deanna got told she wasn’t right for theirband…. No more sultry sounds of Deanna… Oh well….

Suprisingly, Jordis didn’t hit the bottom three… After her seriously off night last night, I was amazed…

And I have no clue who it is voting for JD to stay, but they need to be strung up somewhere…. He sucks people! Please, somebody… anybody… explain to me why he is still there every week. I have yet to find anyone who likes him… are you out there?

Big Brother and Rockstar:INXS

11

Posted by guppyman | Posted in Uncategorized | Posted on 23-08-2005

Judging by the overwhelming number of comments I got on my last post, I see i am the only one watching the Ultimate Fighter! That’s ok…. I’ll go back to posting about the shows you are watching…..

First up- Big Brother…
The Friendshit has to be the most annoying group of people on the planet. I can’t stand any of them. They drive me nuts having to see them on TV. Please please please don’t let them win anything else. Send them all home.

Anyway- First up, Beau nominates Howie and Rachael. Big suprise there…. The Ivette goes into this long rant about how horrible Rachael is. Ummmm…. Has anybody seen rachael being horrible? I haven’t figured it out…. the folks that watch the live feeds haven’t figured it out….. what exactly does Rachael do that makes her so horrible? She must have shot Ivette down at some point…..

Anyway…. for some reason, Beau let’s James play veto for him… and suprise suprise… James wins. He doesen’t use the veto, so most likely Rachael will be gone on thursday. Pretty predictable and boring episode tonight.

Rockstar:INXS- The show where the best place to be is in second place! (First place gets stuck with a bunch of overaged burnouts)

Suzie – Start Me Up
I thought she did great on a song I hate by a band I hate. But she’s been getting good practice doing that every week- she keeps singing INXS songs…..

JD – Cold as Ice
Is it just me that hates this guy? He just seems so cocky and I have yet to see the reason for it. He is not good. He is on a level way below the others in my opinion, yet for some reason INXS likes him…. But hey… they like INXS songs too, so what do you expect?

Deanna – original
I like Deanna… My wife hates her. She’s got that raspy voice that has always done something for me…. Good song…

Ty – Proud Mary
Ty is good. I wouldn’t pay to see him, but he is good. Pulling double duty this week with this song and co-writing Deanna’s song…. great week for him.

Mig – Original
Good week for Mig. More strange references by Dave that make me wonder if he and Mig have something going on the side….

Marty – I Alone
Marty looks constipated when he sings stuff like this. He did a great job with it, but I agree with the band…. How does this fit with INXS? Actually… What I wonder is WHY would anyone WANT to fit with INXS?

Jordis- Dream on
Jordis screwed up. Badly. from the first note till the end. Worst performance I have ever seen from her. WTF was she thinking????

My bottom three this week would be Jordis, JD & Suzie.
