Dear Folger's Coffee...

Dear Folger's Coffee,

I am not a fan of your coffee but I know a great many people that are.
My letter to you today doesn't have anything to do with your coffee
grounds, though. My letter is in response to your little slogan.

"The best part of waking up is Folger's in your cup!"

I do find your slogan to be very catchy. I mean, it gets stuck in my
head at times after hearing it. It even, at times, has made me want to
drink your mediocre coffee. I never do but the thought does enter my
head.

In a sense, I believe your slogan is wrong. The best part of waking up
is not having Folger's in your cup. In fact, the best part of waking
up early in the morning doesn't have a thing to do with coffee,
actially. The best part of getting up early is morning sex.

Yep, you read that right. A great start to the morning is brought on
my great morning sex. That wakes me up and brightens my morning better
than any ol' cup of coffee; mediocre or otherwise fantastic. Nope, no
cup of joe can make my morning better than an orgasm can.

Maybe your slogan should say something about the best part of waking
up is morning sex followed by Folger's in their cup. After all, some
people are gonna need that extra kick after a sexy morning workout. I
can see how this advertising might not go over well and would probably
offend people. My suggestion is to air it late at night that way it's
on people's minds before they sleep and just maybe they'll wake up
remembering that morning sex followed by a cup of your java is the
best part of waking up at ungodly hours. Just an idea.

Sincerely yours,
Amorous Rocker

((Yes, I wrote this as a joke. Yes, I really think they're coffee
isn't that good. Yes, I really think sex is the best way to start the
day. No, I do not drink coffee post morning orgasm. I rarely drink
coffee actually. Yes, I did write this post morning sex. No, I'm not
crazy. Not entirely. No, there aren't pictures or video of said
morning sex. Yes, it was great.))

Happy Wednesday y'all!!!!

Random musings...

Not all cookies taste better with milk. (That's obvious for people who
don't like the combination, don't like cookies or just don't like
milk.)

I have to have music on when I go to sleep. It's usually Opeth, some
other melodic metal band or some other band/artist that has a lot of
relaxing stuff. I can't listen to anything upbeat, aggressive or fast
to go to sleep. It wakes me right back up.

Coffee is not better than tea.

Put your shopping carts away when you unload your purchases. If they
roll off & hit someone's car, it can cause damage. Why should someone
else have to pay for something you caused by being lazy or in such a
rush that a minute or two woukd have really made a difference? Plus,
it's just rude.

People are always surprised by how polite I am. That makes me happy as
I enjoy being complimented for it. It's sad at the same time. It means
polite people are too few and far between anymore.

Some things taste better when you're a little kid. I used to love Fun
Dip 15 years ago. Now? Not so much.

Animal crackers taste good no matter how old you get.

Even though the Stars have had a shitty season, I still love 'em. If
they win any of their remaining games, I'll still be happy about it
too. Even though we're not making playoffs this year, I'll still enjoy
the rest of the season. I'd just enjoy it more if my favorite team of
15 years hadn't sucked so bad. Maybe next year. ;)

I miss playing hockey. I think I'm gonna spend the summer getting
where I need to be physically and start playing again. Just for fun.
It's either that or roller derby. I'd prefer hockey. I also think I'll
start playing baseball again. I miss playing sports and having some
competitive fun in my life.

I own a lot of hats. They're mostly baseball style caps or cadet (I
think that's what they're called) caps or knit beanies. I have more
hats than I have shoes and pants; combined. I wear every one of them
too. I paid for maybe 5 of them. The rest have been gifts given to me
over the years.

Happy Tuesday, y'all!!

Pretty pictures...

Water soothes me. Be it at the beach listening to the waves roll in, sitting down by the river watching the currents swirl and dance, listening to water trickle over rocks in a creek, a rushing waterfall or simply just rain falling from the sky; water soothes me.

Sitting by a river watching birds swoop down trying to catch a fish for dinner, watching the fish dive away trying to live to swim another day, listening to the sounds of the water rushing by, seeing different currents swirling past, is one of the most relaxing things I like to do.

If I need to think, I have the quiet to do so and the atmosphere that centers me to calm my thoughts enough to allow me to make some sort of sense of the constant chaos I have going on in my head. Or, I can sit there taking in the sights and the sounds, absorbing it and focus on the beauty in that.

There's a simplicity to nature that I love. There aren't human emotions running around. There aren't a lot of hurt feelings. There isn't hypocrisy, wealth, poverty, political uproars or any of the riffraff that every day life holds. There's the food chain. There is death, there is life, there is birth, there is sickness, there is fear. Things live, things fight, things flourish, things protect their own, things eat, things are eaten, things die. Nature is the most beautiful and raw form of life.

*These pictures were taken by me yesterday with a camera phone. They're not the best quality. If you look closely in the last two, you can very faintly see the rainbow that was hanging around.

Happy Monday y'all.

I got these earrings for $9.50 and then never wore them because I decided I didn't really like them. I had meant to take them back but I rarely go to the mall so I just never got around to it. If anyone wants these, email me. amorousrocker [at] gmail [dot] com =) Don't worry, I don't expect $9.50 for them, lol. Click the image to make it bigger if you want.



The Stars play the San Jose Sharks tonight, in SJ. IT should be a good game to watch and hopefully the Stars get the win. We're in 10th place and not out of playoff contention yet but in all seriousness, it's just extremely unlikely. The Stars need to win the rest of their games and several teams need to start doing a lot of losing. *Sigh*

On Wednesday morning, I woke up with the dream I had fresh on my mind. I had a dream about grocery shopping in a super fancy store. I was also doing surgeries in the bakery with the cast of Family Guy... before revealing I was a CIA agent who was just guessing about what I was doing during these surgeries. Then I robbed the soda machine outside with my mind before I ran off to an island where I filmed a horror film. Also, the cast in the movie consisted of random NHL players, the Family Guy cast, Dallas Cowboys cheerleaders, my boyfriend, a few of my friends, the shark from Jaws with human legs & a huge killer walrus that had a British accent when he talked. Of course, this is the short version of the dream but it gives you the general gist of it. And no, I didn't eat anything weird, drink any booze, watching anything weird or do anything at all that would have prompted such a strange dream. That's normal for me and my dreams are usually strange and random. I also have the awesome ability to remember them in pretty good detail most of the time. I have the best dreams ever.

Happy Thursday!

One of those things...

The Boyfriend has a job interview at 11 AM. He's still at his current
job but looking for something better. Something that pays more and
something that is actually in the field he's interested in. It's a job
that will put him working on computers if he gets it and this is his
second interview. So, here's hoping interview number two goes well for
him. =) Good luck my love.

The Stars played the Preds last night and won 3-1. The first period
was rather boring but it got better after that. Especially since my
Stars were playing pretty well and even won. Which always makes me
happy.

Do any of you out there do the P90X workout? I want to get into it but
I seriously can't afford to buy it. It looks awesome for toning and it
also looks like a lot of fun. Definitely difficult but fun. If anyone
does it & has a DVD burner... ;) Actually, if anyone does it, I'd love
to know if it's actually done any good for you or not. You can e-mail
if you don't want to comment. amorousrocker [at] gmail [dot] com.

Alright, I'm typing this out on my phone so if the paragraph breaks
don't work and this is all run together or if there are any typos,
sorry! I blame the phone. ;)

Happy Wednesday people!

Nothing else matters...

Thank you to everyone who commented on my blog post yesterday in regard to tolerance and acceptance. Whether you agreed or disagreed with my points, I appreciate the comments that I have received and the couple e-mails I have received as well. If you haven't checked out the blog post from yesterday, please do and feel free to share your thoughts and opinions.

Moving on. =)

This band has been one of my favorite bands for years. Before their awesome collaboration with sexy and talented Cristina Scabbia of Lacuna Coil on "S.O.S." Or their song with Corey Taylor of Slipknot/Stonesour on "I'm Not Jesus" or even more recently, their song with Adam Gontier of Three Days Grace on "I Don't Care."

Their music is gorgeous. I can easily listen to them and drift off to sleep feeling relaxed and sometimes even peaceful. I feel like I'm absorbing the notes as they're played right into my mind and body and it just lulls me right to sleep. I also listen to them often when I've got a lot on my mind because I can just focus on the music and the beauty of what they play. I love metal and symphonic metal is one of my favorite subgenres. I love the pairing of classical music with hard rock. It's a beautiful thing. ;)

This song is one of my favorites. Not just by them but "Nothing Else Matters" is also one of my absolute favorite Metallica songs. So here is Apocalyptica.

Happy Tuesday!
