My son loves to spin around in circles until he is too dizzy to stand up. I for one do not see the appeal in this but still love to watch D-Man partake.Tonight he spun round and round then stopped and said, "The TV is moving." This was the funniest thing I have heard in a long time. The best part is that D-man really thought the TV was moving.
It will be a sad day when things like spinning in circles will not be enough to keep my son happy. Someday he will move on to being really in to girls, video games and fast cars. But for now I am just happy with watching my son spin in circles, and I am glad he is too.
My son loves, loves, loves the characters from Winnie the Pooh. He knows all of them on sight and has for quite some time. His favorite is Piglet. He has a little stuffed Piglet that he has had since birth that is his transitional object. Seriously, my son loves him. I have had to sew him back together at least 3 times! He is so dirty, and once upon a time he had stripes and squeeked. No more of either one, the stripes can only be seen in old pictures and the squeek, it is a distant memory.
D-Man is not really into television, he doesn't know who Barney is or who Dora or Diego are. (I like it and plan to keep it that way.) But he loves his Pooh characters.
So we DVR the show, "My Friends Tigger and Pooh." It is on the Disney channel and he will watch those and laugh and laugh and ask for more "Tiggpooh." I even starting enjoying them, but it lead me to ask the obvious questions, if you have ever seen the show. Who is Darby and where the heck is Christopher Robin? It seems that the 100 acre wood must have had a little too much testosterone so they added a little girl to make it more appealing to females? Personally I don't like Darby, she is a know-it-all and doesn't really do it for me. D-Man, well he doesn't care as long as Piglet, Tigger (he calls him Rarrr) and Pooh are there. I guess that is what really matters. Little kids don't care that Christopher Robin has been replaced by an annoying little girl named Darby, why should I?
When I got up this morning I do what I normally do; get D some breakfast and and sit down at my laptop to catch up on the world outside my little house.
I noticed that the headline on Yahoo's website was "Bernie Mac Dies at 50." I was stunned. Honestly, I couldn't believe that one of my favorite comedians was dead. So I read the story that he died from pneumonia complications. All I could think was, "What?!?!" How can a 50-year-old man die from pneumonia complications? I also read that he had Sarcoidosis, an inflammatory lung disease, but it went into remission in 2005 and his publicist was quoted as saying that the pneumonia was not related to the earlier disease.
So what went wrong?I don't have the answer, but do know that he made me laugh with his comedy. I loved the Bernie Mac Show. It transcended racial and family barriers and did so with some style. Bernie Mac style, that is right "Baby Girl." Now, every year as I watch Bad Santa (which is now part of our family's Christmas tradition) I will do so with a heavier heart. But, I will be doing exactly what Bernie would have wanted ... laughing.
Thanks Bernie, You will be missed.
A couple Christmas' ago my Dad bought me the boxed set of all ten seasons of the TV show, Friends. Of course this is exactly what I asked my Dad to get me for Christmas. That is how it is with my Dad, you have to tell him EXACTLY what you want or else you may end of with a calendar featuring naked or partially naked men.
I just recently pulled out the boxed set again and started them over from the beginning. I had forgotten how much I love this show! There is something in every single episode that makes me laugh so hard and I love watching the friendships of these characters evolve and the definitely think Ross and Rachel "were on a break."
I have also been able to draw parallels with things that happen on that show that remind me of things or people in my own life. For example, there is an episode where Rachel has something wrong with her eye but refuses to let anyone help her with it or go to the eye Dr. She has this thing about putting things in her eye or letting anyone touch anywhere near her eye. I had this same thing happen with Ryno, he needed eyedrops for some reason but every time I tried to get close enough to put them in he would jerk away or close his eye. I call this having one of my "Friends" moments. There is another episode called, "The One With The Screamer," where Ben Stiller guest stars as "the screamer," a guy that Rachel dates that has anger control problems that manifest themselves very much the same way someone with road rage would. Once again, Ryno has some road rage issues and whenever he shows this side of himself, I tell him, "this is just like an episode of Friends!" He doesn't really seem to care. He doesn't get my love for this show.
I don't know many people who love this show as much as I do. Although I do know they are out there, I just don't know any of them. But, I am not obsessed, I don't have posters of Rachel, Monica, Phoebe, Ross, Joey and Chandler on my walls. But, there was a time that I bought a hair product because that is what Jennifer Aniston used for her signature "Rachel hair." My hair never looked like Rachel's did. But at least I tried. I have tried to have "Rachel hair" more than once in my life. Come to think about it, my current hairstyle is similar to circa1999 "Rachel hair," only not as good.
To me, Friends will always be like that old friend that you don't get to see that much but when you do it is like you were never apart. You pick back up where you left off and nothing has changed.
"I'll Be There for You, because you're there for me too."
