And this is the reason

That I will never let Diamond audition for American Idol

I’ve stayed away from commenting or blogging about the crisis in Haiti

For a couple of reasons

Biggest reason?

As a mum, it’s breaking my heart

And I don’t know if it makes me a bad person

But I can’t watch the news coverage anymore

You donate what you can

And what else do you do?

I’m not a doctor, or a nurse

I can’t go over there and help in anyway

So, watching the non-stop story unfolding makes me feel helpless

And I don’t want to cry every time I see another child dying, or in pain

.

But I’ve been reading about a French politician (click here to read the story)

Who has been mouthing off running around bitching about the US troops and aid workers in Haiti

That the US has just come over to ‘occupy’ the country for it’s own benifit

OK?

Listen, you Froggy Fucktard

Geographically, common sense dictates that the US would be the first to arrive

They have the experience, the manpower, the money

Not to mention the ‘give a shit’ factor to get the job done

How about you take your ignorant arsehole-ish thoughts and ask the Haitian people what THEY think?

The ones whose lives have been saved

Seriously, fuck off back to France

And let the rest of the world do their job

the RED CROSS website

OK, I know I already did a birthday blog today

But I can’t let this one go unmentioned

You see, the funniest lady I know is having a birthday today too

She actually has no idea how funny she is

But I can’t remember ever spending time with her

When I haven’t cracked up from something she’s said

She’s the best thing to ever come out of 1920

And she’s having a party today to celebrate hitting the big nine-o

I can’t be there

But I know she’s having a beer

And on the other side of the world

I’m going to raise my glass to her too

Jeanie Marie

I miss you

Today

And every day

Happy 90th Birthday Nanna!

My brother is pretty good at most things he does

He’s a qualified electrician

Amazing guitarist

Fantastic producer

And he also has super sperm

I give you

Search

And Destroy

These  little guys were the reason I nearly didn’t move to America 10 years ago

I made the move

But they made it really hard to leave

I bought them cool little boots from Nashville

And made sure I put these photos in

Just in case they were tempted to go online and show their mates their Aunty’s site

I figured these photos would put a stop to that

I love ‘em

I miss ‘em

And I can’t believe they’re 11 today

Happy birthday Search & Destroy!
