Tomorrow

Tomorrow is indeed my birthday. OY. I am not a big fan of the birthday anymore. What is the point? I don't think that we should keep track after 21. Getting old is depressing, is it not? And yet we beat it to death every year we turn in this crazy crazy thing called life.

To me, it would be like the "not wearing a watch" thing some people do. They proclaim that time goes by slower, and they can live life without being in a "hurry." Why can't it be the same with birthdays? When we're not "watching the clock," i.e. MAKING A HUGE HOPPLAH about our birthdays, we can enjoy it more. At least that is how I feel.

Its funny to me: when we celebrate our birth, we "celebrate" life, right? But at the same time...we also acknowledge our ever impending dissolution.

ANNOUNCEMENT

From this day forward, any and all of my entries are dedicated to this young man. Snoogins.

My new favorite movie is the Royal Tenenbaums. If you haven't seen it, SEE IT NOW.

Shabbat Glop!

Yes! You too can share "Shabbat Glop" with your friends and family on Shabbat! It is not only a fantastic dip, but it simply brings people together. Just make sure you have enough to go around!

The Recipe

One bottle of salsa

A can of refried beans (lard free, of course)

Half a brick of velveeta

Just throw all these ingedients in a crock (HA) pot, switch it on HIGH, and keep stirrin'. In no time at all you will be able to enjoy the glop! Be sure to have some Tostitos near! This feeds a LOT of people. If you don't have a crock (ha) pot, you can do this on the stove or in the microwave. However, the crock (ha) pot adds to the "trashiness" of it all. Do it! It may sound weird, but let me tell you, you'll love it. HOORAH!

The Berenstain Bears!

Agh! Remeber the Berenstain Bear books?!? I LOVED these when I was a kid. Now the authors of the books, Stan and Jan Berenstain, have come out with an autobiography. Celebration! Oh well. Yay for nostalgia...

Our proposed "Resolution"

You can't watch the news anymore without hearing about the Al-Queda network, seeing Tony Blair chillin' with George W., or about the fact that few members of the UN want to back the U.S. "resolution." To me, the "war on terrorism" hasn't been a tangible one. Its like we are shooting at any and all people that look like the "bad dudes." However, since Defence Secretary Donald Rumsfeld and National Security Adviser Condoleezza Rice made allegations that Iraq has had long-standing links with the Al-Queda (without giving detailed information to back them up), we have gone all IRAQ crazy.

Even after intensive lobbying, French President Jacques Chirac is still opposed a new UN resolution that would provide for the automatic use of force if Iraq fails to co-operate with UN demands. This has all been a part of the new "US/BRITAIN" diplomatic offense to get France, Russia, and China (the three permanent members of the UN Security Council) to support the draft "resolution."

So...France is out for now, anyway. Tomorrow the US/Brit delegation team is heading out to Moscow in an attempt to gain Russian support of the "resolution." However, the Russians have already made it clear that they are reticent to support such plans. And China? Well, they are in the same boat as France and Russia. And for good reason. Chinese Premier Zhu Rongji doesn't believe that the US has proof that Saddam does indeed possess weapons of mass destruction. NO ONE KNOWS. Saddam has given UN weapon inspectors an open door to Iraq, but the US administration is shrugging the offer off as some sort of "maneuver."

Meanwhile, US Secretary of State, Colin Powell has made it clear that the US will go against Iraq alone, if needs be. So what WILL the final resolution be? Is this WAR really necessary? What members of the UN would be supportive of such a "resolution?"

United Kingdon-Tony Blair is supportive of any and all action taken by the US against Iraq, but I don't think anyone else in the UK is.

Germany-Germany wants NOTHING to do with an attack, even if it WAS endorsed by the UN.

Turkey-Hesitant.

France-They like to inspect, but they are NO NO about an attack.

Russia-Believes an attack isn't necessary

Israel-WHERE DO WE SIGN?

Kuwait-Waiting a decade to open a can of whoop-A on Iraq. Even so, American troops outnumber the natives.

Qatar-Prefers a "diplomatic" solution, but would help us out.

Saudi Arabia-Okay...as long as you have UN backing...

Egypt-Advising Iraq to avoid ANY sort of scuffle with the US. However, President Mubarak thinks we should undertake the Israeli/Palestinian conflict first. Hmm...what an idea...

Iran-Opposes any attack, but they would like to see Saddam just LEAVE.

Jordan-Opposes military action, but would stay neutral in any attack against Iraq. They also rely on Iraq for ALL their domestic oil. Like Egypt, Jordan would like to see the US help solve the Israeli/Palestinian conflict first.

Syria-Probably not...they think it is a plan for Israel and the US to take over.

China-Not in support of an attack, but won't stop us from making one.

Japan-Firmly opposed to an attack. Again, they like the "diplomatic solutions."

Australia-Will seriously think about assisting the US in military action, but what can they do, really? Send some crocs?

And that wraps up the plan. But what IS the plan? I have no idea what's going to happen. On a lighter note, all we can do is keep our eyes peeled, and hope that maybe all the terrorists will stop killing people and admit they are trolls. That's it. That is all it would take. And then we can go back to playing frisbee with our dogs, laughing with friends, and planting trees.

Trouble-Coldplay

This song feeds the soul. Especially on a rainy and depressing day.

Oh no, I see
a spiderweb is tangled up with me
and I lost my head
and thought of all the stupid things I'd said

oh no, what's this?
a spiderweb and I'm caught in the middle
so I turned to run
and thought of all the stupid things I'd done

and I never meant to cause you trouble
and I never never meant to do your wrong
ah, well if I ever caused you trouble
oh no I never meant to do you harm

oh no, I see
a spiderweb and it's me in the middle
so I twist and turn
but here am I in my little bubble

singing and I never meant to cause you trouble
and I never meant to do you wrong
ah, well if I ever caused you trouble
oh no I never meant to do you harm

they spun a web for me
they spun a web for me
they spun a web for me

OK. I served my time. Now let's turn back to TRL!

So I have a pet peeve. I'll make this short. Specific days of remembrance are days to be reverant and solemn...the entire day. It doesn't mean to go to a service, then go out to dinner, laugh about last night's episode of the Real World, and then go to bed. That just doesn't jive with me. Can't we at LEAST put aside ONE day? ONE day to not think about what you're going to wear to that dinner party on Monday? Or the hideous sweater vest that Karen is wearing? Ugh.

Cafe Solo

So I had an experience tonight that gave me a FANTASTIC idea. I consider myself a very social person. However, I believe that I love time alone as much as being surrounded by people. Does that make sense? EH. Anyway, I was at Deb's, and everyone had brought their dinner outside, was gabbing up a storm, blah blah blah. ANYWAY...I waited until everyone was OUT, and then began THE TIME. I gathered my non-chicken pot pie and headed for the candle-lit dining room. I then just sat down, enjoyed the light jazz, and soaked in the calm. IT WAS AWESOME! No one yelling, no one talking, and the relaxing atmosphere put me at ease.

So this is my idea: a outdoor or indoor cafe that allows you to just eat by yourself. That's it. It is so relaxing. Man...I am coming off sounding like a lonely person. Sick and SAD! HA!

I am watching "Dead Calm" right now. How can Nicole Kidman look so good without makeup?

Do you ever feel like you are wasting your life?

Only when I am awake.

6th Day

Sixth day of Sukkot, and we had a shindig at Deb's. Usually we have our Genesis study, but hoorah for special occasions, no?

Jackie Chan is cool.

Annnddd...scene.

Orange clean! *and other assorted dreams*

Wow. No more dairy for me before bedtime, for sure. I had the STRANGEST dreams last night. I can't remember all the details, but it involved someone from my past that I'm not too "keen" about. Anyway, I broke into this person's house and just hung around. It doesn't sound too exciting, but it was just weird. I love how people from your past pop up unexpectedly in your dreams. Then again, is ANYTHING expected in your dreams? UH...yes! For me, it would be the constant presence of Sir Sean Connery....I'll get you, Trebek!

OOOOMMMMGGGG...I just found an AWESOME site! Where else can you re-visit the time of hot pants, the conk hairdo, zoot suits, and jazzed up jeans? Visit the world of BAD FADS! You soooo need to go here! ZUBAZ RULE! This is indeed joining the "permanent" rank of links. NO DOUBT!

I do indeed have a connection with the "ZUBAZ." Luckily, you can still buy some! Yes! I think Joey Buttafuco is having a garage sale this weekend, so pick some up! You might also be able to snag an official Looney Tunes jacket as well!

I am making an actual, REAL site now. Surprise, huh? And it concerns one of the most powerful things in the whole world: THE AFRO!
Actually constructing it from scratch (i.e. plywood, glitter, and elmer's glue), it shall be a creation compared to no other. I am really excited about it! However, I need to start bringing the digital camera with me at ALL times in order to catch any "AFROS IN THE WILD." I tell ya, it shall be a fine time.

ANYWHO---I had like 0 hours of sleep last night. YOWZAH! I about died at 11 am, when I zonked out on the leather couch (uh cold, please!). I didn't wake up until 6:30, and my eyes were HUGE! Puff! PUFF! PUUUUUFFFF! Puff is a FUN word.

Oh, thank, G-d! Someone is coming to see our house tomorrow. All I have to say is they BETTER BUY IT! No questions asked. :)
Oy. We just want to get the hell out of here. Is that too much to ask??

Today in History...

Today in the year 1846, German astronomer Johann Gottfried Galle discovered the planet Neptune at the Berlin Observatory.

Today in the year 1926, the composer and muscian John Coltrane was born.

Today in the year 1965, the Beatles' "Help" was on top of the charts.

NEPTUNE. Wow. I don't recall that much about this planet from my 7th grade science class. Isn't it blue? I know that "Neptune" is the Roman god of the sea. That about wraps up all my "knowledge" about this planet.

SPACE. Crazy. When I think about its vast reaches, I can't help but feel microscopic. And we think we are so important. Even the "GIANTS" of politics and fame become touchables when the whole picture is put into perspective. And what perspective is that? I doubt we even have a true understanding of how far the reaches of the universe really are. However, the destructive decisions we make here on earth can and HAVE changed our larger-scaled surroundings. Can't we all just get along, run amongst the gazelle, and plant trees? Perhaps my idea isn't practical.

Sunday morning creeping like a nun

I am just NOT a fan of the Sundays any more. Evansville, already having zilch to offer, shuts down at 6 pm. It doesn't make sense. Are people going to bed earlier? Not necessarily. Are people at church? Maybe, but why wouldn't they want to go out to eat in the evening? It doesn't make sense to me. And what is the whole "not selling liquor" on Sundays, as well? It is a nice gesture, but it doesn't make sense. Its like a person that lives his life ANY way he wants to during the week, without regard to anything holy. BUT THEN on Sunday, he drops a dollar into the collection bowl, and feels better about himself. It is a dying attempt to "fake" a clean conscience. It makes me sick.

Its late...or early

So it is 3:43 in the am right now, and I am WIDE AWAKE. The "new dog" needed to go outside, and THANK G-d I was up. Otherwise, she could have left some surprises on the new carpet. NOT good.

We went to Deb's for the second night of Sukkot tonight. It was mighty festive. To read more about the festival of Sukkot, go here.

Well, I believe I am off to bed for now. Maybe I can go to sleep if I really try. I think I shall require a little help from Chris Carraba. Celebration.

Oh! On another random note, I discovered who Nora Jones is tonight. She is one of those "new" piano/writer/singer/teen people that is all the rage right now. I actually liked the song I heard, though. On the other hand, Vanessa Carlton's "music" still never fails to torment my soul.

Because you are as bored as I am...and these are ultra-sweet!
I decided to list some of my favorite, ridiculous quiz sites. I don't think you will be disappointed. :) May the fun begin, and the monotony of life end here. At least for a while.

The Geek Test

Which Candy Bar are you?

Which Psych Ward Patient are you?

Which Torture Method Would you be?

What Type of Villain are you?

Well, well. Shabbat calls. Cheers!

Rain

It has DUMPED rain today, and the sun hasn't even come out. A very dark and cold day. Today's song definitely would be Moby's "Porcelain." Fragile, delicate, enigmatic, and dark.

On a lighter note, I happened to catch an episode of "Home Improvement" today. Could someone tell me just WHAT that show was??? Jonathan Taylor Thomas? HAHA! I remember that he was always in the teeny bopper mags, like "BeBop." BAH! Hoorah for the only magazine you read when you are a 1. Girl and 2. In 5th grade. Ahhhh, yes...pull-out posters, too! When I look back on all of that, I realize the true depth of trashiness that came along with being a 5th grader.

Mom spent about 3 hours trying to find a suitable moniker for our new house guest. I have no idea what she finally decided on naming the dog. It is a sweet thing, but it has the absolute WORST breath I have ever had the joy of smelling in my lifetime. YOINK. When bad breath GOES BAD, let me tell ya.

I talked to dad today, and he was extremely bored. He was cracking up at some dude across the street. Apparently, this guy had caught something, and was trying to coax it into a trash can. Dad had NO IDEA what the creatue was, but he said that the guy was pretty jumpy and scared of it. I would have died laughing. People = great entertainment.

Rent downtown: $700 a month

Parking space: $80 a month

Futon: $400

Random screams of profanity in the night, and watching a man try to coax an animal into a trash can: Priceless.

The 5th Grade Crush

Wow...do you ever have memories that just decide to come out and flip you head over heels? I just had a moment such as this. Kyle asked me a question that just brought back 5th grade like it was YESTERDAY.

So I was new in Evansville, right? It was towards the end of 5th grade when I was the "new kid" at Scott Elementary. It wasn't too bad at all. I made it just in time to catch all the "awesome" field trips to St. Louis and Burdette Park (the local excuse for a "water park"). I suppose it seemed cool at the time.

ANYWHO... I distinctly remember watching some kids play kick ball at recess. And then I saw him! Him! At the time, I was REALLY into Beverly Cleary, and the writings thereof. FOR EXAMPLE: Ramona Quimby, Tales of a Fourth Grade Nothing HOWEVER, my favorite book of hers was Henry. It was about a young boy (Henry) with a dog that always ended up in trouble. And I know this is going to sound weird, but this boy playing kick ball WAS Henry from the book. He was tall, lanky, and had black hair. I don't know....it was like, HE was Henry. If the character was an actual person, THIS KID would be him! I found out soon enough that his name was Paul. So the "crushing" began.

I was rather shy in elementary school, so I didn't get in his face and tell him that I "like-liked" him. But who even does that today? HA! Anyway, he had NO idea who I was. Then came 6th grade...middle school. I HAD A CLASS WITH HIM!! He sat RIGHT in front of me in ENGLISH! Paul was HILARIOUS. Definitely the class clown. Who wouldn't have a crush on this kid? Tall, dark, funny...quoted SNL. What more could I ask for? All I remember is him turning around one day and looking at me. Then he said, "You look like that little girl from the movie "Interview with a Vampire." Of course I had never seen it, but just that one comment put me into shock. What a troll! And just to note, that "little girl" in the movie was Kirsten Dunst. HA.

So tides turned, and high school would soon start. Sadly, he didn't attend the same high school that I went to. A sad story. I thought it was finished. I soon was "over" Paul, and forgot about him completely. THEN CAME the summer before my junior year of high school. Summer musical auditions! And who was there, auditioning on stage? NON OTHER than Paul himself. I was CRACKING! I knew he looked familiar, and then I soon realized who he was. Anyway---he did make it into the show, and we ended up being good friends that summer. I never did tell him about the "crush" I had on him through middle school, or anything about Beverly Cleary. It was better that way. :)


Well, wasn't that a fun load of crap? HA! So some strange dog has joined the Schmidt household...ay ay ay *shakes head*. The fun and FLEAS, apparently, never stop.

Dad retrieved everything out of my 4x4 storage locker in Denver today. Good times. WHAT IS SPACE? We all just need more at times.

I am tempted to throw everything away in my room. Yay for the CATHARSIS. I enjoy the feeling. It is so incredibly easy to get carried away doing such things. EXAMPLE:

"Nah...I don't need a pillow!"

"I really don't have a use for shoes any longer." etc, etc...

So you see the dilemma. Anywho--I think I might go to bed earlier tonight, because I am going with Eli to the hospital in the hours of the morn. You know what THIS means! HOSPITAL BREAKFAST! Our family is indeed obsessed with hospital food. It is high quality. "HQ", if you will. Come on! SUBWAY is available for breakfast! The only question you must ask yourself is: Am I in heaven, or am I just in St. Mary's cafeteria?

"Liza Minelli and her husband have announced that they are going to adopt a baby. Not surprisingly, the baby said thanks, but no thanks." -Conan O'Brien

Just went for a bike ride, and that gave me ample time just to think and be alone for one second. I encountered 3 fine specimens of genuine "road kill" whilst on my "route." Which reminds me of Colorado. Not that there exists an abundance of road kill scattered on HWY 7, but the pure lack thereof. I think the creatures of Colorado are just plain wyly.

So the window dude came and went. It turns out that he did windows for mom's store back in '97. Isn't THAT a blast from the past? So mom opens the door, and RECOGNIZES him. I couldn't believe it. I suppose I should have been more presentable. I was watching "A Wedding Story" when mom "re-introduced" him, and I looked like trash.

Speaking of "A Wedding Story," I did indeed catch both episodes this morning. YAY for weird themed weddings! This one couple had a "Medieval-Renaissance" wedding. Interesting, to say the least. The groom and his groomsmen were all DECKED out in "First Knight" attire. COMPLETE with real swords and velvet. And not just the "participants" were valiantly clad. All the wedding guests (minus the bride's father) were carrying swords and wearing tights. TOP all that off with a woman officiary that looked like Janet Reno, complete with an "Old-English" ceremony. There you have it, people. Personally, I think my "Futuristic/Robot themed wedding will blow that one out of the water completely.

The Window Fixing Dude
Right now the three-legged dog is outside barking her head off, because the window fixing dude is here. So I, not having showered, decide to HIDE up in the den for a while. That is, until the "heat" dies down, at least. The "heat" = the window fixing dude.

I really like using the term, "heat." A friend of mine from Wisconsin used that in reference to a stint with a Ronald McDonald statue. Example: "We had to bury the statue in a field for a few weeks after we took it...there was just too much heat."
Heat, of course, meaning "scandal" or "the pressure of being caught." So naturally you would want to "lay low" near any heat that may be around. Am I making sense? Is this coming through?

So after the windows are fixed ( and the heat dies down), I have no idea what I'm going to do today. I don't think we have any showings scheduled, so we'll probably play it by ear. Trying something different today, right?

Dad sent us some pictures of a house that he found. I have yet to view them. Something odd about Colorado homes is that they rarely have air conditioning. This is including NEW homes. I do think some of the newer homes have "swamp cooling." This is when the cooling of the home is done basically by evaporating water, but only works in drier climates. This is interesting stuff.

If this house doesn't sell in another month, I am going to go ahead and go by myself. School starts in a few months, and I would like to have a job already in Denver. YAY. Anywho, Eli is bothering me because he needs to get on for "school" purposes. HA.

Today I sold my soul

I knew somewhere in my heart that I would eventually have to give up my true friend. I think we both realized that this time would indeed come. As I watched the burly man load him up onto his flatbed tow-truck, I knew that I would never see the Stanza again. I felt the measley 35 bucks in my pocket, looked up into the sky as it shed its tears upon the earth, and then I, too, wept. I have betrayed a friend for the price of a bean bag chair.

If George DID run, I would have kept him. But since his transmission went out whilst I was away in CO, there was no choice. He was a lawn ornament. Such a sad story. I found the rain today very appropriate for this day of grievance.

This is the end of an era. I salute you, Stanza. You will be missed.

Wow. I can't believe that I am ACTUALLY up this early. I didn't go to bed until 5 am. Nice. Apparently we have about 50 or so realitors coming to "walk through" the house. So naturally, the house was put through a "Level 5" cleaning. I don't know how much more "preparing" of the house we can take. Trying to sell the house has been a big pain in the butt. But we aren't doing a half-assed job of trying to sell it, either. It is a NEVERENDING task. I hope and pray to G-d everyday that we can sell this thing and get on out to CO as soon as possible.


On a lighter note, I came across an awesome "alter-ego" test online. You can check it out here. If you're wondering, my alter-ego is "Gothic." Nice, huh? It sort of freaks me out, because I did go "mock goth" to the staff prom this summer. Some things are definitely being revealed.


So I think the main activities for today will include more cleaning, stuffing everyone in the car, and a few trips to Wendy's with the dog. Ahhh...the life of house-for-sale-occupants. Its a strange one, indeed. At times I feel like I'm in some kind of freaky boot camp/militia-type thing. Here's why:

1.You are awoken from sleep to the shrieking sounds of "SOMEONE IS COMING TO SEE THE HOUSE!!! AGHHH!" You respond to this "alarm" instantly. Without even rubbing the sleep from your eye, you get up, make your bed, and begin hiding your dirty clothes from the previous day.

2. You can take 1 minute showers, and be completely ready in roughly 10 minutes to leave the house.

3. You hardly ever wear makeup, and cut your hair into a "quick-fix" style.

4. Gas stations become a second home, and the frosty is the main staple of your diet.

5. Your house is so clean, it begins to look dirty even WHEN spotless.

So those are my observations. For now I am off to windex the mirror in my room for the 5th time today. Cheers.

Yom kippur was today. The feel of the service was sooo strange. Maybe because dad wasn't here to lead it. We broke the fast at sunset at the Olive Garden. Let me just say that breadsticks have never tasted so good. YAY.


Other than services, nothing too major happened today. We have a million people coming over to our house tomorrow morning to go through it. It won't be too bad, because I won't be here. Bwa. Oh G-d, I pray that we sell this ASAP.


Found out that Dashboard is going to be in Denver next month! AGHH! I must go. I will go. Chris Carraba = awesome.


Wow. Once again, I prove that I don't have anything useful or interesting to say. :) Hoorah! More later....

WOW...and I decided to STAY home tonight? Yoink. Somehow, going to "The Vineyard" doesn't sound like a good idea. No thanks.



So being that Kyle and I have nothing better to do, we decided to watch the new season of "Survivor," starting Thursday. I never watched the previous seasons, so I should have an interesting VIEW on the upcoming season. Maybe. You can check out the new contestants here. The following are Kyle's opinion's on the new contestants, just based on his "FIRST IMPRESSIONS."

Kye's First Impressions of the new "Survivor" Cast

i like ghandia and shii ann

and stephanie

penny = bitch

jake - fun grandpa guy

robb - seems cool

ted- hahaha

ken looks like a vampire

erin is a hooch

helen is mean

And there you have it, folks. :)


Its an old SNL tonight, but it is going to be a HIGH QUALITY show, nonetheless. "Wake Up, Wakefield!" My absolute fav. Hoorah for Jimmy Fallon. :)

Okay, enough crap...hopefully I will have something meaningful to write later. Don't count on it.

Uh... false alarm. Eli's cries were only to signify the arrival of Daniel. So right now there are a million people eating downstairs. Cheese balls, red velvet cake, carrots, pizza, triscuits, and a troll in a cowboy hat. Nice. It looks like it is going to rain again. I can only hope. I LOVE the rain. However, I don't enjoy the "steam bath" that it actually feels like outside. I suppose I'll just stay inside this afternoon....


I wonder what the weather is like in Denver today.

Yay for only having about 4 minutes to write! Torah study is about to start!



OOOH! I checked my email this morning, and I have 4 messages from my "matches" from hot or not. I WAS CRACKING. Too much fun, no?



Deb and Dawn are here, and the cheeseball has been broken out, along with garden herb triscuits. I enjoy triscuits. We also are going to whip out a DiGiorno pizza out of the oven in a few. "No, its not DELIVERY!" Its...well, you know. :)



I'll be back to share "Torah" findings. OH! Before I forget! I had a WEIRD dream with Jeremiah Kenoyer and Nate from the Y in it. TOO WEIRD. Jerry had some improve program going. ANNND... I was hitch-hiking to Estes Park or something, and ran into Nate. Wow. That was organized and made a lot of sense. NOT. Oh well. DIGIORNO!

Well, ladies and gentleman...mark this date down in your Dilbert calendar! This is the day of new beginnings, and Andrea's daily dish! LET THE BLOGGING ROLL! Yes, indeed. I can sense you now, sitting in your chairs and toadstools reading this! Wow. Too much fun. Anywho...let's start this off.



Tonight we had some friends over for the Shabbat dinner. GOOD TIMES! We called dad as we were lighting the candles. None of us could find the appropriate litergy that he usually sings for the bringing-in of Shabbat, so Eli had to sing what dad dictated to him via phone. Cordless phones are indeed extremely awesome, but they definitely LACK the whole "speaker phone" thing. That comes in handy when you would least expect...



AGH! I found the greatest web-site today. Actually, it wasn't that hilarious, but I found it quite amusing. If you're ever bored, definitely check this out. THE BOOGE



OH, CANADA!

Ah, yes. Our friends to the North, right? After what Canadian Prime Minister Jean Chretien had to say regarding the 9/11 attacks, I am not so sure. Come on, JEAN, what is the deal? Find out for yourself here Canda Shows Its True Colors

Well, that is all I have to say right now...but the eve has just begun! Stay tuned, kids.
