Why does the great state of Texas, where everything is bigger and better (yeah, okay) have the sissiest mascots for high schools??
Example 1: Pioneers...for real, what is ferocious about a pioneer? The fact that he is carrying a rifle maybe?? And what is with the hat? That and the fringe rimmed jacket just about do me in for the dopey factor. Seriously, mascots are supposed to be ferocious, something to cheer about.
Example 2: A green hornet, SERIOUSLY?? This just makes me laugh...so you are going to sting me, eh? Just you wait til I bust out my can of Raid Insect and Wasp Killer on your sorry little stinging self.
Example 3: A kangaroo. To me kangaroos are cuddly...looking at least. Are they going to charge me and then hop all over me...I am wondering right now what the cheerleaders said during the cheers "HOP all over those pioneers!!" Pshaw!
Example 4: A porcupine. Once again, ferocious?? And what in the stink does POJO mean????? I have been trying to figure this out for years. And WHY is that what is printed on their cheer leading uniforms instead of something that makes sense like you know, SHS??
Example 5: A buffalo. Ok so maybe there could be a herd of them and they could get a stampede going on, but you just wait til my fringe-wearing pioneer busts out his rifle and shoots the sorry stampeding buffalo.
Where I grew up we had mascots like tigers, panthers, and bulldogs...you know things that could chew you up and spit you out...FEROCIOUS people!!
Random Thought #2:
Two voices I find sexy: Nickelback's lead singer Chad Kroeger and Josh Turner. Notice I said VOICES people...these men are awesome at what they do. Chad on the other hand is not at all awesome to look at...yuck. But Josh Turner, seriously is a good looking man with an awesome range. I love the song "figured you out" but feel so dirty after listening to it...I wish it had different lyrics...Josh Turner's songs are all grand and country though. And Josh is AWESOME live, we saw him at the Grand Ole Opry a couple of years ago...he sounds just like he does on his cd and I was seriously gushing.
Random Thought #3:
I love dogs that live OUTSIDE. Notice I said outside in big block letters there? Anyways, when Chris and I have land someday I want several BIG dogs. I want a St. Bernard, a weimaraner, a black lab, and a beagle. Ok, so beagles aren't that big but they are totally cute. And for those of you out there concerned with Spencer, yes he would be kept in the mix of things, he would just have to man up and learn to live outside instead of being a sissy indoor dog. Which I wish I could make him do now...
Random Thought #4:
Why are people shocked that I deleted my middle name when I changed my name after getting married? Would you honestly want to be stuck with a middle name that is spelled wrong because your great grandmother obviously never took phonics? AND would you want everyone being reminded of your middle name by a big cursive L?? With people always saying ha ha Lavern and Shirley...GAG!! This is why my name is now Lexi L and nothing more. So there! HA to my mean old great granny. I will NOT continue to curse future generations with the ugly name that you spelled wrong. My grandma and mom may have the middle name still but that is only because they were not clever enough to delete it when they changed their names. Also, my mom doesn't believe that it isn't on my birth certificate. I swear to you that my name is Lexi L on my birth certificate, but my mom thinks otherwise. I have it though and it is what it is. I think the hospital decided my mom was crazy because who would honestly give their child the middle name of Laverene??? Hack, gag, puke...why couldn't I get a cute middle name like Jane? That is what Laci got. I will forever be jealous of that. Grrr.

I find this funny. About a month ago I called my antivirus software company about my computer at home. We got a virus on our computer and I could not for the life of me get the stupid thing deleted or quarantined or anything. Instead, we got pop ups about every 30 seconds reminding us that it was there and that our software could not delete it. After talking to a seriously foreign person on the phone for about 20 minutes, they email me a software program to scan my computer and then send them back the log report that pops up after you do the scan. This program that they sent me is called HiJackThis. Isn't that amusing??? I thought so. Anyways, it worked. The virus is no longer on my computer and I highly recommend Trend Antivirus software for all home computer users.

I hate my skin. I hate its color, its irritability, its transparency, everything about it. If they offered skin transplants I would be the first to sign up. I want to be able to bust out a bar (yes bar) of irish spring and wash my body with it with out breaking out in weird red bumps all over my body. I hate shaving...I want laser hair removal bad. I love putting vicks on my lips at night before bed...why? I dunno, my mom made us do this when we were little and it has stuck with me into adulthood. I love the aroma of vicks it is relaxing and soothing.

Two Funny Movie clips I am pondering and laughing at today:
"You look like the 4th of July...makes me want a hot dog REAL bad" ~ Legally Blonde 2 - this movie is so dumb blonde it makes me laugh. Let's get a snap cup going people!!
Brodie: Brandi is the past my friend. You face forward, or you face the possibility of shock and damage.
[Brodie gets knocked down by a metal beam]
T.S. Quint: You should learn to heed your own advice.
Brodie: Where the hell did that come from? What's going on here?
T.S. Quint: Looks like a stage is being erected.
Brodie: What is this monstrosity?
T.S. Quint: Maybe it's for the Easter Bunny pictures.
Brodie: Impossible, the Easter Bunny Court is down at the other end of the mall, it's been there since two days after Christmas. I want answers!
~Mallrats...Jamye and I love this movie for some reason...always good for a laugh.That's all of the random thoughts I have for now. Good day.

Glad to have some entertainment for the last couple of minutes. I think your name change is just fine.
Another highschool mascot that I can't stand...although vicious... is the Dumas Demons and Demonettes. Who wants to be a Demonette?
Who would want to be a demonette...that is crazy/scary.
We were the mustangs...not really ferocious but it sounds good. Maybe Missouri took all the ferocious animals and we were left with all the others.
Well, demons ARE pretty ferocious. I totally wouldn't mind being a Demonette.
I don't like my skin either.
I had a friend with one of those big huge dogs (not sure what it was....it was very fury and bushy) and I mean BIG. It would knock me over every time I walked in the door. Of course, I weighed like 20 lbs but STILL. It was the biggest dog I've ever seen to this day. It was very nice though.
Oh, and Chris and I do want big dogs on some land someday too. I want to be able to send them off with my kids fishing. Ahh, dreamland. I love Great Danes. I wouldn't be afraid to open my frony door to a stranger with a Great Dane standing there.
I love your randomness! Thank you about the mascot stuff! I was a scout for goodness sake and a star once! What is that? Find them or shine brightly in their faces but only on a clear night? Big dogs can be good...but scary if they plant their paws on your shoulders and put their mouths over your face until someone says get down! Uh, need I say anything about the skin thing? You know I got some funky stuff going on, like the transparency...that would actually work if I was a star and all of me could shine and blind someone! You had me laughing outloud about the Mallrats stuff! Rock on Mallrats!
Oh I forgot to comment on the sexy voice stuff. I totally agree on both counts. Josh turner is hot all around!
I haven't even finished reading your post and already feel the need to comment: What the heck is POJO??? I get that it is MOJO, but POJO is just stupid!! I was Lady Roo (kangaroos) and the basketball coach at our school came up with ROO JO (fron MOJO). That was also stupid.
OK, I stopped again. I think there really is such a thing as skin transplants...but it's probably just or people with burns or something...where's the love for those of us that just don't like to look at our skin, 'cause it grosses us out and we need new skin??
i must say you are a very very very funny girl!
thank you for your encouraging words concerning my cousin.
OMGosh you crack me up!Ok the mascots... I feel the same way. I was NOT proud to be a dang Pioneer. The voice! TOTALLY agree. Love to listen to some Josh Turner. Your skin is beautiful. It may be a pain sometimes but you are beautiful inside and out. Dogs- I want a big dog SO bad but my little apartment wouldn't. Maybe one day I will have a house of my own and can afford a dog. LOVE the movie quotes. I love Mallrats SO much I haven't watched it in FOREVER though. And I understand about you changing your middle name to just an L. Remember when Jennifer Prince told Lauren Moore that my middle name was Shirley and she called me Laci Shirley at church camp! Still cracks me up. And HEY I was going to be Lisi Pear! Thank GOD for Aunt Beverely NOT liking that name! How coutryfied is that! The Green Hornet... I almost peed my pants!! you are FUNNY!
Skin transplant, I hear that! I've also always wanted Ryan's name instead of smelly old Stevie :) And Pioneer...yeah. Oh the world we live in. You can have all my dogs too!
You have got to be the most entertaining person I know! You make me laugh! And POJO is a spirit word...you try and make up a cheer with the word porcupine in it!
Now I am going to go and investigate those songs you were talking about!
I love your comment about your middle name. I think it is hilarious. If you wanted to delete it, then good for you for deleting it. Names are wierd.
Posts of random thoughts are my favorite....you never know what you are going to get but it is ALWAYS entertaining...and thought provoking. :)
