I don't... really...

Do you think that Barbie and Co. did research before they named her male counterpart?

ken \KEN\, noun:
1. Perception; understanding; knowledge.
2. The range of vision.
3. View; sight

I could be wrong but the above gentleman has some sort of understanding that I don't have about Ken dolls. And (nearly) painted on mustaches.
Corrine: "I've never seen an adult that likes Barbies. Why is he holding those dolls? That's just weird. I mean, you play Barbies with me, but I've never seen an adult that has a collection of them."

Me neither, Corrine. But I remember Jem. Do you remember Jem? Jem and the Holograms? And her alias was Jerrica? I wanted to name my firstborn daughter Jerrica so bad. I thought it was the coolest name ever. But Jem is truly outrageous. Truly truly truly outrageous. Don't forget the Misfits. They were gonna get her. How's about you check out this sweet video and refresh your memory.





Hunter: "Is this like an older cartoon version of Hannah Montana?"
I knew her story line sounded a tad familiar.

Jem is my name no one else is the same. JEM IS MY NAME. Ah.

I wonder if my man will ever grow his hair out? Don't you think that when a man has hair that is thick and rich like a man's hair should be, it should be long? No man-bun style though. Bleh. Kinda like this... But seriously. Who didn't have a crush on Grizzly Adams?  Hunta boi is playing football again. This year, the 2016-17 school year, will be his last year playing high school football. Say what?!? For reals. He's a senior y'all. A SENIOR. Can you hear my panic? Did you just see my eyeballs pop out of my head, roll across the floor, gather dust mites and come a rollin' back to me? That means we (I) only have a limited time left with him at home. The days are slipping away like seconds on a clock. Much as I try, I can't seem to stop that mean old man, Father Time, and his clock that is tick-tick-tocking away. Though I must say, we are SO proud of who he is growing up to be. Of who he is today. And we really are very excited to see where his lif...

I know I've told you before, but I'll say it again. I love to get my hair done. There's just something about having someone else play with my hair that puts me into a hypnotic state. It's soooo relaxing, and I love the feeling of fresh, soft, just done-by-someone-else hair. It's also something that I don't do often for 2 reasons: 1) I'm lazy and don't like having to maintain my hair. 2) It can get pretty pricey. It may be because I fell into one of those hypnotic states that the following disaster occurred. I guess my first clue of impending doom should have been when my stylist decided to get her nails done. At the same time that I showed up for my appointment. Now, I'm a compassionate person, I didn't think it was a big deal, so I shrugged it off, and waited patiently for her to finish. My next sign on the road to "bad hair-dom" was when she asked the stylist next to her what colors were used on my hair previously, because she j...
