Dragon Con

Mr. Man loved Dragon Con more info to come when I get my laptop up.

Mr. Man's First Concert

Mr. Man loved going to StarFest.  He loved, Parachute, Michelle Branch, and the Goo Goo Dolls.  He loved watching Parachute.  Michelle Branch and the Goo Goo Dolls were the two he danced to the most and he even tried to wave to the Goo Goo Dolls.  The Verizon Wireless Amphitheater staff was so nice, they gave Mr. Man ear plugs and let us move up the lawn.  Mr. Man loved watching the show from the lawn.

The first picture is Mr. Man clapping for the Goos, the second picture is Mr. Man watching Parachute with Gigi, Uncle Scott, and Auntie Sabrina, the third picture is him watching the Goos with Gigi, and the last picture is Mr. Man watching the Goos in Cappy's lap.

Unican Candy

My grandfather loves the Unican Candy Milkita Strawberry Bag, 3.2-Ounce Packages (Pack of 12).  I would recommend this to anyone who likes strawberries and hard candy.

UE 100

I got my New Logitech Inc Ue100 Earphones Red Grey 4 X Pairs Ear Cushions 100 Earphone Wired 45.28inch Cablethe other day from Ultimate Ears after I completed Challenge 4 in the their Center Stage Challenges.  Here is a link for those of you who would like to try these challenges. http://www.ultimateears.com/centerstage/
I complete Challenge 3 with the help of you guys and thank you.
Earphones are awesome.  They are the best sound I have heard out of any headphones in a long time.  Just make sure if you get them to put the right size on to the earphones or they will fall out.  The sound is so crisp and clear and I love it.  I understand why 75% of tour musicians use this company.
If you can you should get a pair for yourself they have other cheaper pairs on their website. http://ultimateears.com/

And I Wonder If You Ever Think Of Me

I wonder sometimes if you ever think of me; however I would not walk a thousand miles just to see you.

I do not need you, I might want you, and I do not know if I would love you.  Two out of three might not be bad; but I think that it may just be one at the most and that is probably worst.

So, those are not the right words and have a different meaning than the actual song, but both are songs I cannot get out of my head.  Why is love such a huge topic on all entertainment.  I am tired of it and I am really tired of being asked my marital status when doing anything for my son.  Why do they have to ask for my “husband’s name”?  Why can they just not ask if there is an additional person that I would like to put as a contact name and or number?  I would love to be married, but I would also like to have everything together before I even start dating again.  Why is it so bad when that a child is raise by a single mom?  I am just so tired of hearing people say things about it. I am tired people asking me if I am dating anyone. Most of all I am tired of on all entertainment there are no true single parents.  Everyone has to be in relationships and no one can just be single.  I know I am going on a long rant, but I am just so irritated.

There are guys I think I would like to date if I had the chance, but I need to get my life fully together before I go on a date.  Sure it would be nice to date again, but from what I have learned from my past and through reading, one need to have their self together before entering into relationships with others.

I guess what I am trying to say is I am fine with being single and some days it would be nice to have someone in Mr. Man and mine’s life.  I do not need anyone else for now and for now need needs to outweigh want.  Need should always outweigh want, but this is a time where it is even more important.

I still wonder if you ever think of me, but I still will not walk a thousand miles just to see you or anyone.  Maybe if I ever fall in love I might change my mind about that, but even then I have someone who is always going to be more important to me.  I probably still will not walk a thousand miles for anyone.

Who Says

I miss you.

Sometimes I see that you are online and I think I should say, "Hey?"
But then I wonder what would I say?
I guess maybe, "How do you do?"
Or "What is new with you?"
But mostly I want to say, "I miss you."
Before I can muster up anything to say
You are gone
Or I think it has been to long.
So this cycle continues on
And we stay Facebook friends.
But for how long?
Maybe one day we will talk again,
But for now I guess we are still "friends"?

My Plan, Not Mr. Mans

So, I have decided I since I am doing so much better when I focus, I am going to create a plan for the next 6.5 years is what I would preferably enjoy.  I say 6.5 yeas because that is when Mr. Man turns 8. So here it goes.
August 2012 ~ Graduate with my Associate Degree in Business Technology Administration from CTC. (6 months early by the way.)
August 2012 ~ Enter KSU to go after my Bachelors in Business. (part time)
August 2012 ~ Find a good job.
Sometime between 2014 and 2015 ~ Earn my Bachelors in Business.
Hopefully before 2018 ~ Have my MBA.

There are other step in there too.  The other steps just do not have a certain time they are to be accomplished by.  I hope I can get all this done on time or before the dates I set.  This leave little time for socializing to much and no time for dating at all.  All of which I find perfectly fine.  Mr. Man is the most important to me and I am doing this for him.  We need the best life, so to do that we have to follow those steps. My family and friends are so great, they are so encouraging. Ever time I do well in school they tell me how proud they are of me.  It is always nice to hear that.  So thank you family and friends for all your encouragement, and someday soon I will have my Associate Degree then my Bachelors and eventually my MBA thanks to all of you that do help, even if it is just by encouraging me.

Fun Science: Light

UGA v. Tech Game

We went last night and took my brother and grandfather to the UGA v. Tech game.  It was awesome.  Lucas loved it.  The seating was general seating so we got to sit in the section behind home on Georgia's side.  My brother said that during one of my many times taking Lucas to walk around he almost caught a ball. Hopefully I will be able to take Lucas to a Braves game later this season I think that he would love that.  I will post picture later on. O, we had to leave early but the final score was 4-6 UGA winning.  Lucas loved it when UGA scored 5 runs in the 4th inning he kept standing up and clapping and dancing.  I should post the picture sometime Friday.

Lemonade Mouth - Determinate

Mr. Man loves this song and cannot stop dancing to it.

Big Shanty Festival

Mr. Man, myself, and our family we enjoyed it very much.  Mr. Man liked his food the best.  His favorites were the fries and the fresh made mini cake doughnuts.  I really like the cake doughnuts as well, but my favorite was the home-made cream soda I got for a dollar because I had my reusable tin.  The dancing going on stage was another favorite of Mr. Man.  I wish I had brought my camera because it was so cute when Mr. Man tried to dance along with the dancers.  All and all it was very enjoyable.  I wish that I had the time that I could have hit the other two great festivals that were going on in Atlanta this weekend.  I think that Mr. Man would have enjoyed those too.

Cutest Baby Laugh Ever!!

Monkey Joe's and Yellow Tail

So here is the thing, I am go to start reviewing places that either Mr. Man, myself, or both go to and place them on here, if I can within 24-48 hours.  This review however is a little late because of technical issues that the user had not the actually equipment for the most part.

Monkey Joe's
Mr. Man loved this place.  The best part is for the little kids the parents can assist the kids with the inflatables and so it is a work out as well.  We will be going there later in the summer.  His favorite inflatables were the Duel Slide and the Maze.  He also enjoyed the inflatable play area.  He loved riding around on the mini marry-go-round too. I have video of him finishing the maze here:

Mr. Man at Monkey Joe's

Yellow Tail
This place my mom found over by California Dreaming.  I liked it and the waiter was pretty good.  Over all it was nice.  It was not my favorite, but I will go back.  Their sushi is more bite size and very tasty.  Mr. Man did not like it as much; however, he was very tired since this was after Monkey Joe's.  My family liked it.  Over all I think that it was a good experience and we will probably try them again later.  O, lastly if you like the fried Bagel Roll most places offer, then when ordering here make sure that you say that you want that.  They do not offer it on the menu, but will make when asked.

Look forward to later this we will be reviewing the Big Shanty Festival, Mr. Man Video Opportunity of the Week and Mr. Man's Video Spotlight of the Week.  Please submit all suggestions of other places to review, things to film, and video clips below or to any of our social networks sites.  We also enjoy feedback whether it be negative or positive, we prefer positive.

Etiquette?

In this day in age proper etiquette has changed some much.  Actually I do not know how much etiquette has changed and how much of it is just forgotten.  I admit sometimes I myself do not follow proper etiquette.  Hats are suppose to be taken off indoors, yet most of the time they are left on.  What happened to holding the door open for the person behind you?  Are we regressing to a simpler peasantry life style?
I have learned one thing, if we want to get ahead in life we have to behave like the class we wish to be at.  This does not mean to go buy sports cars when you cannot afford them, what it does mean is if you are behaving like your class you will be stuck there.  If you think it is fine to wear backwards caps and behave disrespectfully in public places, then do not turn around years later and wonder why you are still stuck at that lower class.  However, if you go out of your way to behave with more class and learn proper etiquette, maybe ever seek a higher education, then you will be on your way to moving up in the world.  It does not matter what class you are in as long as you are happy.
I know many of us many think that in America we do not have classes and cannot get stuck in them.  We do have classes, we just do not have a proper name for them.  There is always the possibility to move up and down the classes unlike other cultures.  Just like a mountain it is always easier to fall from classes than to climb up.  The hard work will help build character and get you further in life.
Again it really does not matter what class you are in life just as long as you are happy; however please use some proper manners when in public and around those of a higher class.

I am so EXCITED!

I am so excited I get to go see Chelsea Handler Live on June 10 at Chastai Amphitheater.  My mom is going with me and loves her books.  Chelsea's show on June 10 will be apart of her new book tour.  Lies that Chelsea Handler Told Me (A Chelsea Handler Book/Borderline Amazing Publishing) is her new book and my mom plans on buying this when it comes out May 10th.  She has read her other books Are You There, Vodka? It's Me, Chelseaand Chelsea Chelsea Bang Bang.  Comedy Central has aired some of her performance before and they are always so funny; however, not for suitable for underage viewers.  Mr. Man will be staying hanging out with the boy that night so that I can go.  It will very nice that his Cappy (my dad) will be watching him for me.  I will let you guys know how the show is when I go see it.

Your Input

Mr. Man and I would like your input about our blog.  What do you think should be added?  What do you think needs to change?  You are the views and without you we are just a page on the web being unread.

Mr. Man is going to be doing a weekly Mr. Man video where he showcases his favorite Youtube Video of the week.  He will also be doing a weekly How to Video where he displays how to do something that he can do.  Please give us your suggestions on what Youtube videos you like and maybe Mr. Man will like them too.  We also need suggestions on what Mr. Man should do a How to Video on and if he can do it we will do it.  Both of these will be posted on Friday.

Any other weekly posts you would like to see.  We will be adding more and do not forget to come back often and check to see what random post with I or Mr. Man has posted.

Times Change and People Do Too.

We all change, whether it be for better or for worst.  Since we change everything around us has to change and what does not adapt is often left behind.  While some change is good, other change can be bad.  Society has changed before when celebrities acted up they would be punished, whether it cost them their show or their fans.  Now, if they act up they all most get praised for it.  Had Chris Brown or Lindsey Lohan done what have done their careers would have been over.  Way back when, stars would leave the money and go fight for their country to show their fans that they were just like them.
Jimmy Stewart was to old for the draft, so he gained weight (because he was to underweight) and enlisted.  He would put of fights when military would not put him in battle, and eventually they put him in battle.  When he signed up he did not know if when he came back he would still be able to act, yet he gave up the money for the greater good. So did a lot of other stars back them.  What happened?  Now we have had presidents who have skipped out on the draft or had their daddy pay for them to not actually get in the middle of the action.  We have star who are rude and careless, yet they are praised.  Their fan base grows with ever fight or neurotic thing that they say.
At the same time, we still have some stars who actually care about other and do try to do good.  We have star who do thing for selfless reason and yet they get less press about what good they did.  It is a sad time when we have become so desensitized to what good could be done in this large world.  In a world where kids are getting bullied at school and the schools are not doing anything about it, and the military is almost worst than the fashion world about weightloss, how can we see what good is still being done out there?
I am not saying that I do not ever watch a reality star fight, but I also look to see what good some star are still doing out there.  Some stars I will stop watch due to the selfishness and ridiculousness.  We have the power to change this.  If we do not want to see this anymore than we could stop watching, or we could not elect the officials.  No one is perfect I understand; however some have gone over the top.
What is the saddest part that no one understands is that most of these celebrities choose this as their career, yet when they throw a fit or get thrown in jail we excused them.  If a teacher or any adult who is suppose to be a role model to kids, had done what Micheal Vick, Ben Roethlisberger, Brett Favre, Chris Brown, or Miley Cyrus they would have been fired and not aloud to work in that industry again.  People always say, "Well they did not choose to be a role model."  Many do not choose many aspects of their job that they do not like, yet they still have to deal with it or they will lose their job.  A nurse does not get to choose to not deal with the over night shift, but cuts are made and they were told if they did not take it then they could loose their job and they could not afford that.  Everyone in the I.T. industry does not choose to always be on call 24/7; however, they are now stuck be on call 24/7.  So, how it not the same for the celebrities?  Why do they get a free pass when the common man has to struggle with aspects of their jobs that they hate?
I have no answers to all the questions I asked, but what I do know is that we are the fans.  We are the consumers and we are letting this happen.  Kids are growing up with bad role model, society as a whole is being desensitized, and we are letting all this happen.  We choose this.  Just think about the next you watch your favorite celebrity doing wrong.

Mr. Man the Helper

Mr. Man has decided that when helping is interesting he wants to help out as much as he can.  Shredding is now his favorite thing to do.  He can turn it off (but not on) and he can put the papers in there.  If he is handed paper he takes it right over to the shredder and will wait for an adult to turn it on.

Going outside is another favorite past time for him, so if he wants to head outside he will get all the supplies to go clean up the backyard.  He will go open the cabinet and get everything out and then go stand at the backdoor waiting.  I do not let him clean up the backyard.  The dogs will follow us out there and he will play around with or without them while I take care of everything.

He keeps wanting to help so I let him when he can.  If I am unloading the dishwasher, I will let him help with the safe dishes.  I do not want to discourage this helping thirst he has and I hope he keeps it while growing up.  As always Mr. Man has some sort of plan in his little head.

Itty

Mr. Man is now calling the cat, "Itty." We told him it was a kitty so now he follows her around and keeps shouting "Itty" over and over again.  He will even stop eating so that he can call her.  I find it funny how if you ask him where is foot is or where is his mama, he gives you a blank look.  However, you ask him where the "Itty" is he will get up and go try to find her and if he has to he will build steps to get to her.  He can also go find his disc if asked, but for most he will go find the "Itty" as fast as he can.  I am hoping that soon he will call her Kitty soon, but if he does not then that is fine as long as he is happy.

Dating!

I have figured out that Mr. Man does help out some when the thoughts of dating come around.  While I strive to want more in a guy (not always the case before), now it is even more important to find a guy who is better and not to settle for less.  Waiting is what is best for now, since there are not to many guys right now that fall into my strict opening for guys that I would potentially date or have any type of relationship with; however, that is fine for me because I need to focus on school and work, there is no time to.  Still with my "I do not want to date." vibe out and me saying "I do not have time to date right now" guy are still interested.  This has helped me come up with a list of things that if guys do then they are not right for Mr. Man or his mommy.

The guy who keeps asking you out on dates, after you have already gently turned him down before, only to hear, "Well, we can just hang out if you would like."  Worst next day he asks you out on a date again.  ~  Big heads up, if I said that I was busy yesterday I am most likely busy today as well.  It is so annoying when you do this, it actually repeals me.  It makes me think that there is one thing that you want and only one thing.
The next guys is even worst the guy who keeps asking for sex.  Worst yet when they ask you sleep with them and tell them that you have a kid and TELLS YOU TO BRING HIM WITH. ~ OK, just hearing that alone, you have no chance.  I tried to be nice and tell you know and now you say to bring my kid and he can go in the other room.  You have to have something wrong with you to think that is fine.  If any women actually does that with you I feel sorry for her kids.
I just do not know what so say about the next type of guy.  How about this any guy who actually gives you an ultimatum, well he is scum (but not worst than the previous guy).  ~  Really you want to make me make a choice.  Well just for that I do not care who are or where you come from. I am going to choose what is best for Mr. Man and that means not choosing you.  No guy gives me an ultimatum.

If I would be ashamed to introduce you to anyone that I care about then you do not make the cut. I also do not want someone just show up at my house because I would not leave my house out nor answer my phone.

For now Mr. Man, school, working, and trying to find a job will be the only things I focus on, but when I do start dating I know types of guys not to date.

Teen Mom Shows

I am tired of watching these teen mom shows that do not realistically show teen how life as a teen mom is.  On the Secret Life you do not see Amy staying up till 3 a.m. working on projects because John was being cranky and would not go to sleep on time.  You do not see her trying to figure out, "Ok, I have twenty dollars till the end of the week do I buy diapers or do I put gas in the car  or do I try to save it for next week when I will be stuck in the same situation?"  I wish that for once there was a teen show that would show the really "drama" of being a teen mom.  Even Teen Mom (1 and 2) do not show the real problems of being a teen mom, but how could they when the "teen moms" on the show are being paid over 200,000 a year.  If they really want to show what it is like then switch the "teen moms" out each year so that way you can show the real problems of being a teen mom.  How can the show the difficulties of finding a job or getting school work done or living like a really teen mom when they are being paid enough to pay for help to watch the kids so they can get it done?  I am done with my rant this real teen mom has to get back to her homework before she gets to tired to get it done.
