I found my Place again

It has been awhile, actually a long while since I posted here. Hopefully I will post here more.

Tiger Butter

I am putting the recipe here because I just spent an hour looking for it; if I put it here I might be able to remember where it is.

Tiger Butter:

There is a note at the bottom about preparing.

Melt 1 pound white chocolate

Stir in ¾ cup peanut butter

Pour onto a cookie sheet lined with waxed paper and spread thin

Melt 8 oz. of milk chocolate (chips are fine)

Pour milk chocolate over white chocolate and peanut butter in 3 or 4 lines and swirl with a knife

Refrigerate 2 hours or so and cut or break into squares.

Melt the white chocolate before you add peanut butter, and stir until just mixed, when you take the white chocolate and peanut butter off the heat add the milk chocolate. It looks best marbled, so you have white chocolate with some very small streaks of peanut butter, and then streaks of milk chocolate. You do not want the white chocolate and peanut butter to cool too much before you add the milk chocolate.

Random Thoughts

These are just a few random thoughts.

Nick Cannon is the new host on America's Got Talent. I had no problems with him before this, I saw the movie where he was in the drum line, besides that I knew little about him except for his marriage. As I have watched him on AGT he has become more and more annoying. He can not read for one, his voice overs for the cut scene are horrid. He has a very strange and almost scary smile. His open hand extended arm waving people onto the stage is very kindergarten playish.
He does basically the same opening stance every week. Mainly though it is horrid voice overs and that smile that turns me off BIG TIME.

I think Paula leaving American Idol and now Ellen coming on is the beginning of the end. As soon as I saw the fourth and new female judge I said that that would be Paula's last year. As it turns out it was, possibly totally her and her new agent's fault. After losing Paula they picked Ellen, someone who I have never really liked or hated. I just think after watching her judge on So You Think You Can Dance last season; (was that her audition for AI?) that she will be the one who gets blamed for killing the ratings giant. I totally give it up for AI being massive, massive on TV and in sells of everything under the sun. I thought the addition of a fourth judge was totally unnecessary and in fact seemed to give the smoothly running show quite a problem with timing. At least with Ellen I think most of the audience knows who she is before she comes on the show. I am just afraid that after the AT&T blunder in free phones for texting for Kris Allen, most people I know think Adam Lambert won except for AT&T's cheating. The vote with losing Paula and getting Ellen the show has two or three season's left.

Health care is a major concern for everyone. I truly believe the President is trying to change our health care system for the better. I am also so tired of hearing people bitch about this as being like the end of days, the worse possible thing to happen. If you listen to these people for just a second you quickly become aware they have no real clue on what the President is suggesting or how it will affect them. They are just afraid of any major change and all they know to do about it is bitch. Then you have the out and out lie's in the media in the form of ad's. I would hope most people can see through this waste of air space. If you are going to bitch about it at least do a little research on it, and watching our joke of news in this country does not count. Our news system in the nation is a total joke, you can basically tell which side of the isle each shows owner sits on within the first 2 minutes. Impartial news, a concept that we lost in this country years ago, a shame.

These were just a few random thoughts that was running through my mind.

Curses

I have always heard that some people are cursed. I have never put a lot of belief it cursed people. I do however think parts of your life can be cursed.
I think I am cursed in several parts of my life:
My love life is cursed; I seem to be drawn to impossible relationships. I say impossible because the main problems in all of my relationships can not really be blamed on one person or the other.
Another area of my life that is cursed is friendships. I seem to mostly have friends who are somewhat of users and or are just no good for me. I am the kind of person that takes a interest in what my friends are into or that they are doing. It would be nice to find a friend who could at least fake a interest in a few of the things I do. This by no means is saying all of my friends are like this; I do have a few people I consider true friends.
I am also cursed to always have problems with my external hard drives and DVD burners.
Of course, one might think maybe it is me and not a curse at all. If this is the case then I have a bunch of work to do to myself. Just what to do or where to start eludes me. How does one change the type of person he is drawn to? Should I go against what I want to find something better for me? Changing what is at the core of me seems almost impossible to me; perhaps that is my true curse; not being able to change for the better.

So far, my blogs have been off the top of my head. I do not know if this is the best for the reader; but for now it works for me. Perhaps in the future this will develop into something that is written better.

Try to be nice to each other out there people.

TV and TiVo

I remember having one tv in the entire house; I remember getting color tv. Then there was that wonderful Christmas that my sister and I both got tv's for our bedroom's WITH remote controls.
Of course, we had 2, 4, 5, 8, 17 and 30. Then the next major step was cable; sometime in the 90's I got PrimeStar which is now Directv. Now I had hundreds of channels, but I was still locked in to a set time to watch each show or hope the VCR worked. Next came TiVo and tv watching changed for all time. Suddenly I have a list of shows that record when they are on and I can watch them in any order and any time I want to. Here is my list of 50:
1. American Idol
2. 24
3. Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader
4. America's Got Talent
5. The Simpsons
6. The Simpsons (they are on 2 channels now)
7. So You Think You Can Dance
8. Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles
9. Burn Notice
10. Saving Grace
11. Bones
12. Fringe
13. House
14. Heroes
15. Sons of Anarchy
16. Lie To Me
17. King of the Hill
18. Family Guy
19. Home Movies
20. Little People, Big World
21. Greensburg

44. Wipeout
45. The Goode Family
46. Dear Genevieve
47. The Colony

49. Blank
50. Blank

I noticed typing those out that I need to take a Family Guy out for a King of the Hill and a couple of those shows might be cancelled, since I have 2 blank ones I will not worry about those right now.

I put these up as much to let you into my life a little by showing you what I watch the most on tv; and to be able to look back years from now and say, "Wow, I remember that show and Goodnight and Big Balls"

Love and war

Part of me is sure I have been in love several times in my life; the other part of me is not certain I have ever been in love at all. This is just another new thing in my life I am not sure about at all. I went along thinking I knew then it was love itself that kicked me in the face; it was love itself that took a friend, my best friend away. I feel like I need to back up a little; but how long do I need to back up. I met my best friend years ago, and we started "dating" we really never called it that. I knew we would not last, at least I told myself that. After being apart, then being together for short periods, all of this time we were supposed to be over; but it never felt that way. Then after they moved "home" which means in with me I find out they have been talking to someone else. That was okay with me, since we were not dating and we both stated that we wanted to be friends first and foremost. Then my friend decided to move back in with their parents. Now we do not speak at all, I do not know what happened. I think I understand finding new love and life being all about that person. It is that fact that I base this idea of Love taking them away from me on. I guess to help "get over" or "forget about" me they need to totally shut me out. What happened to staying friends; was this just talk from the very beginning? Life and love confuses me and does not seem to be getting any clearer at all.
Reason two love takes from you. I just finished chatting for the first time in weeks my my best friend and ex-lover. I was told that we could no longer communicate because it is what they needed. Once again love has kicked me in the face; love pulled them away from me; them loving their new person has caused us to not communicate at all.
I am not sure I want love in my life anymore. I know you get some great short-term benefits; but what love gives it more than takes away. You can stand up to love; fight it with all your might; scream and yell; but when love leaves you it takes so much that you can not stop.

To love; I have loved you, I have hated you, I have feared you, you have made me unbelievably happy, you have torn out my heart, you have broken my soul, you have taken and taken and taken from me. Love I am not sure I can see you anymore.

Hopefully this post made some sense, I needed to get it out of me. I might change it; I might add to it, right now I am so lost, the only thing I know is I want this out of me.
