I know the picture is weird, but ya can’t have a “messed up childhood memories” blog topic without a scary goth chick, right?  That, or it’s just my excuse for not being able to find another picture that I liked.   

Any-who,  as much as we love our parents, I think we’ve all done it.  Look back and say “Man, that was kind of messed up.”  My mom has a great sense of humor, and we love to laugh about “SOME” of those memories.

For example- When I was a teenager I was going to Mexico with friends.  I needed my birth certificate to get into the country.  When I opened it up, it showed my birthday as October 10th.  Problem is, I had been celebrating my birthday, oh for 19-years, on October 11th!  It caused quite a family uproar.  My family says the nurse made a mistake.  Anyway, there’s now a line crossed through the 10 and an 11 sits just next to it.  Man, that’s kind of messed up, huh? :)  What about chu?

I saw a few, okay ALOT, of mullets when I was out on the town last night, and it got me thinkin’.  Many people make fun of the mullet, but it wasn’t always that way, right?  Did it start in the 70’s, the 80’s?  I mean it came from somewhere.  Was there a mullet founder?  Inquiring minds want to know!

I go through these weird times where I have certain types of dreams.  Not sure why, but this time I keep dreaming about flying.  Kind of like “The Greatest American Hero from the ’80’s tv show,”  I run, jump, and start flying over mountains.  I’ve also had weird dreams where I panic about forgetting my locker combination in high school.  Then there’s the one where I signed up for a class in college, but forgot to go to class, only to find out at the end of the semester that I failed.  Is it bad pizza or a sign of something greater? Hmmmm….  Any strange dreams you care to share?

It’s a play date with disco lights and drinks!  Apparently there’s a new trend called “Baby Loves Disco.”  Full article below for your viewing pleasure.  Not only can you take your baby out to the club, but you can also have a cocktail or two, while you’re dancing with them or putting them down for a nap?!  So I gotta know.  Would you have your baby in a bar?

It’s a love/hate relationship with these Crocs!  I’ve had this conversation with at least a 100 people.  Okay maybe more like 5, but anyway the conversation is the same.  People either love them or hate them!  I think they look cute on kids, but I can’t bring myself to buy a pair!  Yeah, I know they’re comfortable, but they look horrible on me.  Maybe if I’m working in a garden or something, but I can tell ya, that ain’t happenin’ anytime soon! :)  Otherwise, I just can’t stand them!       

I was watching my tapes from when I first started in the business, and they are hilarious!!! That got me thinkin’ about news bloopers. I’ve had a quite a few in my time. I know you find that hard to believe. But the last time I laughed hysterically on air, like the anchors above, was when I was reading a story about a man who moonwalked everywhere he went! I lost it when I saw him moonwalk into a bathroom stall! What are your faves?

SCENARIO:

He said: “Hey, do you like this hat?”

She said: “Yeah, why? “ 

He said: “Do you want it?”

She said: “Not if you bought it for your ex-girlfriend?”

He said: “But she didn’t like it, and it’s never been worn!”

She said: “I can’t believe you are trying to give me your ex-girlfriend’s hat!”

He said: “But she never wore it.  I don’t want to throw it away.  That would be a waste.”

She looks at him like he’s lost his friggin’ mind.

He looks at her like she’s crazy.

What do you think?
