Amy's blog: "my life"

What the fuck is wrong with ppl?? 2 years ago when my son was 4 he and Dave went shopping to get me something for mothers day.Dylan told Dave that I needed a garden gnome for my rose bushes.Dave said he looked at all of them at 2 stores till he found me the right one.He was very proud of himself for picking it out and so was Dave and I.I put the gnome on a slab of lime stone between 2 bushes in t he front yard and it just looked great.SOME STUPID MOTHER FUCKER STOLE IT! I took the dogs out and told Dave I think someone stole my gnome.He went outside and said yes it is gone but the one you got last year is still there(Now every year Dylan gets me a gnome for Mothers Day )I cried. I couldn't help it.It was the first gift my son gave me that he thought of,planed out and everything.Dave told me not to cry,that whoever took it wanted to hurt me and not let them get to me but I can't help it.Whoever took the gnome sees it has just a stupid gnome.To me it meant the world cuz it was a gift from my son.He made a big deal to Dave that I had to have a garden gnome and that it had to be the right one.What is wrong with ppl??

Hey everyone! Hows it going?I hope all is well.Things have been good for me.If you have been looking at my pics I have posted the tattoo I am getting for my mom.I am proud of it and so happy and will be even happier when it is done.This year I am going to go to 4 tattoo conventions.I have been in the past and have loved it.I have always went to help and support my best friend because she enters the contest that they have.This year for the first tie I will be entering as well and I am nervous about it.I will be onstage in front of 400 to 500 ppl.When I told Marcus(my tattoo guy) that I was thinking about entering his work he lite up and was just over joyed and told me I would get first place and he just had the biggest smile ever.So basied on his reaction I have to do it I cant let him down after seeing how happy he is about it.And it makes me feel great to have him feel so strong about the work he is doing on me.He always has everyone look at my back when im in the shop and to have an artist who is has as much passion about the work you are getting as you are is just the best to have. Plus I would love to win something for my tattoo for my mom.She thinks I wont win cuz she thinks she is ugly but I know how proud she would be for me wining.Plus when you win you have a great shot at getting in a tattoo mag and that would just be the greatest.Dave thinks its great and is behind me 100% as long as I dont make him go with me lol Poor guy.He went with me and my best bud once and didnt really have a great time.Me and Cassi love it cuz we love everything about tattoos and if you are not as into it like we are,the conventions can be boring as hell.He is a pic of what I am entering.What do you think? Its my mother in 1964 when she was 10.I love this photo of her.Funny thing is 5 years later my mom had my sister!She looks so sweet and purelol

Hello.I havent been on here much at all in the last month or so.I have been so freakin busy.I work all the time now it seems.I work so much that my son told me sunday that he likes his Daddy more then me,I work to much.Talk about heart break. But I told him that I have to work so he can have things and be taken care of.Dave and I have both been sick off and on we just take turns lol Last month was our 4 yr anniv. I love him so much.We both have changed and grown so much in 4 yrs.Dave has become an amazing father.And thanks to have I have become a stronger person.We have went thru alot together and it has been worth it.The crap made us closer and stronger.Not bad for a couple that some said wouldnt last a week! On the 23rd I am getting a new tattoo!!! I am so freakin looking forward to it and I just cant wait.Its going to be huge, covering my whole upper back from neck to the middle of my back and side to side.We are thinking it will take 6 to maybe 8 hours or more.

I know not many people check out what I have to say on this blog and thats fine with me.I write on here get things out of me.And the blog I am getting ready to write here,if people read it,there are going to ask themselves" Why the hell did she write about that?" I have always been a huge music fan.As few might know on here I am a Beatles collector.But I love lots of music.I know tons of stupid shit about bands that will never mean anything to anyone but me.I could kick ass on Rock and Roll Jepardy if they ever brought it back.I have spent many years reading and learning about many many bands and since I love it all so much,I can remeamber it all. Ok so to the blog at hand.I am a huge Def Leppard fan.Have been since I was 6.I see them live every time they come to Indiana, the last time was last week and the show was justawesome.Def Leppard never let you down when you go see them. Joe made news not to long ago about something he said in Sweden about Poison.I watched the video of the press confress were they asked Joe was asked how his band managed to avoid getting caught up in the whole "glam-rock" scene of the '80s even after citing such image-oriented artists as MICK RONSON, DAVID BOWIE and T.REX as major influences. Joe said that the thought most glam bands spent to much time thinking about cloths and eye liner and not enough time on the music.He named Poison as one of the glam bands that used the whole guys in make up and womens cloths to get themselves noticed and didn't spent enough time on there music. Of course Bret Micheals and Rikki Rockett responded,as they should have,to what Joe said about them.Bret gave a long winded responce.Bret took it better then Rikki,but of course took shots at Joe and Def Leppard.But at the same time,Bret said he thinks the whole thing has turned into something bigger then it all is. Rikkis responce was this and I am posting this from Rikiis myspace blog- For Fuck’s sake Joe Elliot! Current mood: amused Joe, king of the power mullet, at this point you need to shut the fuck up! No more talkin' shit. I'll give you a choice on how you go down. Arm bar, leg lock, shoulder lock, triangle, back choke or knock out. You pick! Let's get it on! Rikki has said that Poison is better then Def Leppard and that if you just looked at the facts anyone could see it. Well lets take a look at how Def Leppard and Poison compare. Here the facts about Def Leppard- Def Leppard have been together since 1977 and have been together ever since,never breaking up once.They have only changed members 3 times-Pete Willis, and drummer Tony Kenning left band and Phil Collen and Rick Allen joined and in 1991,Steve Clark dies and Vivian Campbell joins the band in 1992.

So if you compare what I have posted that is a matter of fact record of the two bands history,Def Leppard has done better. Up till now,I have posted things that can be read by anyone and is fact.Now I am going to say what I think about the whole thing and it is just what I think nothing more then that. I think that when it comes to the two bands,they are two different types of music. Like many bands from there time period and like legeands like Bowie and T.Rex,Poison used make up and female clothing to get themselves noticed.You have to do something to get your self and image out there you have to and for Poison the make up and chick cloths worked. But I never thought that there music was that great.I think if maybe they had spent more time on the music they would have done better then they did.The band fought more then put out hits.Bowie wore make up and girl cloths to get ppl to notice him and once he had them,the music kept them there.Def Leppard came out and yes they had the same long hair as everyone in the time period had.They wore the same ripped up jeans as everyone else wore.Poison has always said they were a glam band,Def Leppard were a rock band.One thing that pissed of Brett and Rikki was Joe saying they are not in the same catagory and I think he is right. The comment Rikki made about fighting Joe I think is High School bullshit.Rikki thinking that a fist fight will show his band is better is nothing but sad to me.Rikki had every right to responed to what Joe said as did Brett.The whole thing that bothered me about the entire thing so much that I had to write a blog about it is Rikki saying he wanted to fight Joe.When someone says something about you and the only thing you can think of is to say your going to beat them up shows that odds are what they said is true and the truth hurt. No one likes bad things said about them.But don't be 12 years old and think that fighting someone is going to make you out to be the winner causes it won't.Besides,Joe is to busy with Def Leppards sold out world tour.Def Leppard have spent years working on there music and touring.What has Poison been up to? C.C. was on the Sureal Life with other D-List celebs and Brett is out on a tour for is new solo album and is getting ready to do a 3rd season of his show Rock Of Love were he finds females he hasn't screwed yet.The new album isn't that great and maybe if he had spent more time on it and not on the skanks on his show,it would sound better.Rikki made news for that whole rape thing and that must have scary as hell for him. Rape one of the worest things ever and I am glad that whole thing worked out for him and the real scumbag was caught. So yeah thats my thought about all of it.Rock god Ted Nuggent always says that people need to put up or shut up and I think that if the only thing Rikki can think of to say is that he wants to beat Joes ass then he needs to shut up. I hate how we all teach our kids that beating someone up will not fix anything and here this guy is acting like fighting is going to prove Joe wrong and make Poison better then Def Leppard. Like I said I know that not one thing I say about any of this is ever going to actually mean anything to anyone but hey it's just what I think.

My cousin Ricks funeral is this Saturday. And as some of you know I work as a DJ.Today Ricks youngest girl called and asked me if I could DJ at the funeral and play the music her dad loved.And of course I said yes and my wonderfull boss is going to let me use the gear for free.It will be the hardest show I will ever do in my life.I know I will be crying the whole time.The church they are haveing the service at doesnt have a p.a. system and they dont have any money and since I am a DJ,Im the person for it.I am glad to get to do it for them,do it for Rick.He would have done it for me.

Today I did something I never want to do again.I had to drive my mom to Indy so we could tell my dad that his nephew had been killed. Rick was a great man and I will miss him every day.My dad was so happy that me and my mom came to see him.It made telling him that much harder and worse. its hard not to cry in front of my son but i am trying.

Something has been on my mind for a long time and I am going to try to get it all out. People talk about people.It just happens. We all talk about the people we know when talking to others.It is just a part of life.You run into someone and they say"Hows so and so doing?" And you in turn ask the same.Friends catch each other up on there friends and family. And I see nothing wrong with it at all cuz like I said it is just a part of life.And sometimes,things that get told are wrong,not to anyones fault but,anyone who has played the game Telephone knows sometimes, things get a lil turned.Now to me it is one thing to tell something about some one and say" Now I could be wrong Im not sure" or "I think this is what happened I dont know". Addmiteing you don't know all the facts or that what you are saying could be wrong I think is a good thing to do.I know sometimes I forget things that have been told to me.And if I am saying something that I might not have right,I say it.But what I do have a HUGE problem with are when people flat out tell things about someone that they know is a out and out lie.Even if you do get half right and the rest is a lie it is the same thing to me.A lie is bad enough but when it is a lie that is just something so terriable about the person that it makes others think they are a bad person and end up not likeing them because of what is being told about them.And I don't care who you think you are and who you tell these things to,it will at some point get back that these things have been said and who has been saying it. Something else that goes along the same lines as this is when someone lies to someone else and rips them off or pulls one over on someone and then brags about it to others knowing that the person they lied to and pulled something over on know the people that are being told the truth about it.And hopefuly the people being told about this poor person being lied to will think that the person doing the lieing is in the wrong no matter what it is about. No one likes lies being told about them,no matter how small the lie is.But when you make up things that is so bad that you wouldn't talk about it even if it was true, that is just the lowest of the lowest thing to do. I am writeing about this because this has been happening to me. I always knew it was going on but I didn't know just how bad untill resently.I have always known about things being said about me but always let it go. But there have been a few things said that when I found out about it I cried. It was something so terriable that NO ONE would want it said about them even if it was true.And all I could think was that everyone was told this terriable lie and that everyone was talking about it and everyone believed it.And it was said more then one time. I was so humiliated.And I didn't know what to do.Lucky for me only one person was told about it but it was still bad enough that it was made up and told in the first place. Makeing up lies that bad are just ,it is beyond me how you can think something up like that then have the nerve to tell it.And to tell the lie to someone that knows the person you are lieing about,knowing full well it will get back to the person your lieing about shows what kind of person you really are. I am lucky that the things that have been told and will be told are not believed.The lies of me being this big terriable person have been proven to be a lie and l am lucky that people see that it is just not true. I have been painted as a selfish person,as the bad guy.I have been lied to and tricked then had it told and been made fun of and put down for falling for the lie and the tricks. It hurts.I can't help it,it just hurts.Anyone would be hurt.And it is all a out and out lie. I am a good person.I see nothing wrong with me saying it about myself.It has taken me years to get to the point to where I can see that I am a good person.If you are a good person,you should said it,it is your right as a good person.I do not see it as being stuck up.I help anyone and everyone when they ask.And if I can't help you myself,I will try to think up something that can happen to get the help needed.I have never thought that I am owed anything.No one owes me a thing ever and they never will.And with me, you are not damned if you do and damned if you don't.I would never do something to someone that I wouldnt want them to do to me.I would never lie and put someone else down to make myself look better or to get people on my side.I would be so ashamed of myself.And what makes it really sad is when everyone you tell the lies to about someone,know you are lieing.The lies told about me have been proven time and again to be in fact a lie but that doesn't stop the lies from still comeing.Anyone who knows me knows how I really am.And if you don't know,spend time with me and you will see how I really am. All things get you in the end.I believe in Karma.You will get what you have comeing to you at some point. I am in no way a perfect person.You will never hear me say that I am.But I am not mean,hurtful,selfish or any of the other things that have been said about me and will,I am sure,always be told about me.Liers never stop lieing.And they wonder why they are not trusted. So I am on the road to getting over and moveing on.I can't stop people telling lies but I can let it roll off my back.I am lucky that the people in my life know the truth about who I am and know that there is no truth in the lies. I don't have the strengh to be upset over all of it anymore.I have cried about it and wondered why? Why lie like that about me? And for what? a few mouments of people felling sorry for you? Why would you want people to pitty you?People pitty hurt animals,I don't want that from people.And it really says something about someone who wants people to pitty them in my mind.At first I felt sorry for the person.How bad is your life when you have nothing better to do then make up things about me.Then I was pissed,and I had every right to be.Then I just felt hurt.Now I feel nothing.I have come to terms that I can not change what I can not control and I cant control what I can not change.(Thanks Dr.Phil lol)All I can do is just live myself and be who I am and do the right thing and be a good person.

I have been smoke free since March 5th 2007. And everyday since then I have wanted to smoke.I want to smoke every day many many times a day.I work in an office with my heavy smokeing mom and live with my heavy smokeing husband.Dave doesnt understand why I hate to be the one to go buy his smokes.I told him it is like asking someone in AA to go buy you beer.He knows how badly I want to smoke still.He is very proud of me for quiting and says he would be very disapointed in me if i smoked again.Shouldnt the want be gone by now??I stoped smokeing to have a baby.But as it turns out I will never be haveing another baby ever again in this life time.SO i am wondering if that plays some kind of part in the still wanting to smoke,i dunno. I have been very stressed out and I dont think that has anything to do with it cuz even when i am not stressed and am happy I want to smoke.What do I do?

I lost you when I was 8 years old and you just 18.I wasn't ready to lose you,wasn't ready to live without you.I grew up when I lost you.Over the years so many times I wanted to know what you would think about me,my life and the people in it.Many times I thought that if I just had you there,things would be different,better.I always knew you would stand up for me when others just sat still.I have so many things to ask of you like are you proud of me?Do I do the right things?Have I become the person you wanted me to? I look at my son and wish he knew you and I know the day will come when I will have to tell him about you and how I lost you.You have been gone for the same number of years you got to live on this earth.I would trade anything just for one hour,one touch.You would have been 36 today.I spend a lot of time wondering who you would have married,what you children would have looked like.There have been many times when I knew you were there.I fell you.I love you just as much as I did and it will always be the same. Happy Birthday Ralphie. This song makes me think of you every time I hear it.
