Bombarded By Bees & Favorite Tunes Friday the Saturday Edition

Today wifey and I took the boy to the apple orchard to get some apples and let him pick out a pumpkin.

We get there and he wants to play on the swingset with the other kids, but instead of playing with the other kids he plays alone in the straw….I guess that’s pretty common for an only child.

After a few mins of that he wants to pick out a pumpkin, we go and find 2, however he doesn’t want to carry any of them heh, so I haul them back to the car while he and mommy go to the apple and cider and produce section.

I join them and wifey keeps asking me to get some cider (I love cider, but for $5 a gallon & $3 a 1/2 gallon I can do without). We ended up buying a pint of apple butter.

We go to the concession stand because I want an Elephant Ear, I LOVE them, but they are not like the fairs…bummer, I still get one, actually we get two + a water a cider for me and a cider slushy for the boy.

As were standing there waiting to order bees are EVERYWHERE and I do mean EVERYWHERE….I don’t like bees!

We get up there and order our stuff and I ask the lady at the counter if they get stung a lot “mmmm not too bad, we will usually grab one by accident, and the other day one flew up my shirt and stung me…..NOT FAIR!”

Did you just read that? OMG!!!!!!!!! have I told you I hate bees? well I HATE THEM, Bill Maher says there is a shortage of bees…..GOOD RIDDANCE!!!! I don’t care they suck!

THEY CAN SMELL FEAR!!!!!

So, we get our food and yep the bees surround us, so we walk away from the food and the other bees with food in tow, we go to the swingset area again thinking we would be far away enough……NOT!!!! THEY FOLLOWED US!!!!

We tried moving further away, no good so wifey says “We will probably have to eat them in the car” bummer, but ok I’m game.

We all move to the car and you should have seen how fast this big boy can get the food, the boy and himself in the car.

NO BEES!

We enjoy our treat and they (the bees) come the window…..I’m not lying! It was like that moie where the bees cover the VW and they have to go to the football stadium and freeze the bees off……ok not that bad, but it was pretty terrifying none the less….heh.

A couple of weeks ago I was at a herf and there was a bee and I’m ducking and jiving trying to get away from it, one of they guys thought this was entertaining and made the comment “Really? You have all those tattoos and your scared of a little bee sting?” I had to laugh at that,

So that was my Saturday.

Sorry I missed Favorite Tunes Friday and I am not going to do a double shot, just the one.

Today I bring you

38 SPECIAL

I love this band, and I feel they never got their due, sure they had some big hits and they are loved and respected all over the Classic Radio stations, but a majority of people won’t put them up there with all the other greats….I will.

I had the pleasure of seeing them live twice…the 1st time they had Eddie Money open up for them and the 2nd they opened for Bon Jovi (REALLY???? I couldn’t believe it….they didn’t even play Hold On Loosely, it was a pretty shitty show).

This video is the very 1st song I ever heard from 38 Special where I fell in love with this band, I then went back and discovered their earlier better stuff, but this one popped my cherry with this band and it still tests the time.

Enjoy!

And 4 Is The Magic Number & Super 8

Greetings everyone, just quick update on the Chris Clay Diet, I lost another four pounds which means (If you’ve been counting) I’m down a total of 12 pounds!!! Remember I started this adventure on May 2nd….not too bad eh?

Ok that’s out of the way, now Friday I went and seen the new film by J.J. Abrams (Felicity, Alias and Lost to name a few): SUPER 8.

The movie takes place in Ohio in 1979 about a group of kids that are making a zombie move when a train heading to Area 51 derails in front of them…something escapes and the kids have it on film (super 8 is a type of film, that’s where the title comes from) and the military finds out about it and wants that footage.

This is ALL I can tell you about the story without giving anything away.

I highly suggest you see this film, and see in the theater, this was one of the best films I have seen in a long time, they just don’t make movies like this anymore, it reminded me of CLOSE ENCOUNTERS, & JAWS and those type of films that I grew up with..they just don’t make films like this anymore and yes it was produced by Steven Speilburg and it definitely has his style all over it.

I had a blast watching this move and having my mind blown! The kids in this film make this movie, their acting is so natural you forget they are actors they are that good.

The story has heart, it has suspense, major drama, comedy and a few OH SHIT moments that I wasn’t expecting at all.

Some of the cast is:

The coach in Friday Night Lights (don’t know his name and not looking it up lol) He plays the towns Deputy sheriff, he was really good and brought his A game to the film.

Elle Fanning who I assume is Dakota’s sister is one to watch, she will be following her sisters’ footprints in the acting world.

SEE THIS MOVIE!!!!!

One last thing before I go. HAPPY FATHER’S DAY to all the dads who read my blog, and thanks for reading.

Oh That’s Farm One Arson Sleigh

This morning me and boy were waiting for mommy (like we usually do…she’s sllllloooow) in the car and he starts singing. I know it’s JINGLE BELLS, but when it comes to the Oh What Fun It Is To Ride part he says:

OH THAT’S FARM ONE ARSON SLEIGH.

Then he would say I’m going to sing it fast, I said ok and I beat on my knees and the steering wheel to keep up with his speed.

After that he says he will do it faster, again I follow with the drumming, but he’s not really going faster, just LOUDER!

Mommy finally gets in the car and he keeps singing the same song and me and mommy are trying to correct him by saying it’s Oh What Fun It Is To Ride In A  On Horse Open Sleigh, he can do it when he slows down, but then he goes right back to

OH THAT’S FARM ONE ARSON SLEIGH which cracked me up everytime and I made him repeat several times, just so I could remember the words and share with you.
