This is going to be a sour-puss post...sorry
- I hate income taxes, so much. We might end up canceling our trip to Disney :(
- I have a zit the size of Stone Mountain on my chin and it has a 10mi radius of pain.
- Our house payment increased for the escrow fluctuation....never fun
- I've been crampy the last two days and it's making me ill.
- I think all of this rain is to blame for sadness and overall depressed feelings. You know with snow everyone smiles (almost everyone).
- I'm behind on laundry.
- Flower keeps trying to dominate Tinker Bell and it's driving me nuts! I hate hearing them wrestle in the night and howl/growl.
- I feel bad for complaining because I know somewhere someone has it nug worse. I should be more thankful.
So bla bla bla. And wah wah wah

SOPA/PIPA
Did you happen to notice yesterday several websites were "down". Google's logo was blacked out, Wikipedia would let you search, but then quickly turned to a blocked page.
What these two websites and many others were doing was protesting SOPA (Stop Online Piracy Act) - this is a bill that if made a law, would give the U.S. law enforcement and copyright holders ability to fight online trafficking in copyrighted intellectual property and counterfeit goods.
The original proposal would allow the U.S. Department of Justice to seek court orders against websites accused of enabling or facilitating copyright infringement. Depending on who makes the request, the court order could include barring online advertising networks and payment facilitators from conducting business with the "allegedly" infringing websites. It would also bar search engines from linking to such sites, and further require internet service providers to block access. The bill would grant immunity to internet services that voluntarily take action against websites dedicated to infringement.
If this bill is passed to censor the internet it would be a direct violation of the First Amendment. This would highly effect user-friendly sites such as YouTube, Etsy, Flickr and Vimeo. This would also mean legislation would enable law enforcement to take down an entire domain (such as blogspot) due to something posted on ONE single blog.
How does that sound?? Punishing an ENTIRE community for 1 minority?? Nonsense.......seriously what is our country coming to?

Disney fever
To say I'm excited for Disney World is an understatement...
...I'm antsy
...thrilled
...anxious
...impatient!
I'm ready to go NOW and possibly never return. I was thinking I could show up in a Pocahontas costume with my hair in braids and see if they would just hire me on the spot as an actor?! I doubt it...I'm not nearly slender enough for Pocahontas.
It doesn't help that I torture myself at work and listen to the Walt Disney World soundtrack we bought a few years back. It's a two disc set with songs from all of the parks.
Some of my favorites:
Soarin' (theme from Soarin' in Epcot)
One Little Spark (theme from Journey Into Imagination w/ Figment)
***I absolutely love this ride and sing along when we ride it!
Swisskapolka (theme from Swiss Family Robinson tree house)
Yo Ho (A Pirate's Life for Me) (theme from the obvious, Pirate's of the Caribbean)
Grim Grinning Ghosts (theme from The Haunted Mansion)
***One of my top 5 favorite rides from Disney
It's a Small World (theme from It's a Small World)
***You have to love this song, I don't care who you are!
Star Tours (theme from Star Tours at Hollywood Studios)
***They recently updated this ride, I'm curious to see if the soundtrack is the same
Indiana Jones (theme from Indiana Jones stunt show)
There's A Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow (theme from Carousel of Progress)
***This ride, even though not as thrilling as a roller coaster, will always be one of my favorites and it's another one you can sing along to.
Energy Adventure Medley (theme from Ellen's Energy Adventure)
***Another one of my favorites!
