But, people would always call him, "POLE-LOCK," as in a racial slur against being Polish.
He had a serious complex, they got divorced, can't say that the two are connected, but I have my theories.

Anyway, I love the name Jason, it's my brothers name. And you were born in the same year as my other brother, so, you are just a "special" kinda guy.

Sooo, this is me today... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ljIQo1OHkTI

My older sister got the comment more than I did that we look like the lead singer of that band (Simple Minds). They show up on my Pandora station, too. That's a good song.

She has another teacher called Mr Cox.

AG - you lost me, but I think I get it now. I have practiced the name with an American accent and can see how that might be a problem, but am still at a loss as to how it should be said. I am also intrigued as to what you first name is. Most names are mis-spelled now anyway.

Weighed today, and am still 2lb short OH NO! When am I gonna get my song?????

My last name is pronounced how it's spelled, with a long 'a'. It's interesting that an accent might make a difference, but I can see how it could.

My first name is Micheal. So common...and everyone seems to know how to spell it right. My grandmother didn't. My parents did, but decided to pass on the spelling. If you're going to misspell it intentionally, I think it should be really messed up like Mykal or something. Not a spelling that indicates that the person just didn't remember how to spell it.

My neighbors in NJ were, Swear to Christ, "The Pizzitasses." I doubt that is how it is spelled, but that is how it is pronounced.

I about choked when my regular doc, wanted to send me for my sinus surgery to a "Dr. Kwak."
Seriously, there are times when changing ones name is just good for business!!!

Hehe, my hand surgeon's name is Bret Bamburger. We called him, Dr. Hamburger, and he calls himself, Dr. HANDburger.
Good guy.

I've been guilty of spelling Michael wrong all my life, I still have to think of it when I write it. The only way I remember, is that "A" comes before "E" in the alphabet.

Here is another one for ya. My FIL (born in Kentucky, won't bother any more with explanations) was to be named after his father, John Bowling.
So, when my FIL was born, the nurse came in and asked old Granny what she wanted to name him, she said, "John Junior of course!!"

So, on his birth certificate his name is....

John Junior Bowling JR. Lord, never have a baby in Kentucky. That is my advice. lol.

Haven't been around much because I have lots going on. Internally and externally.
You know I love my warm weather.

But, I had some big drama with a long time friend of 27 years, and I had to end the friendship. She posted stuff of an EXTREMELY private nature to my FB wall, while she was drunk.
I have kids that read there.
I had to delete her, which started a weekend email war. I'm just now comin' around.

You know the weird thing was, I was out that night myself, having had been at a funeral, basically 9 hours straight of drama.

Anyway, I begged off from the after-after party, and went home.
I was going to crash myself, and something made me turn FB on.

You can't see me online, because I almost always have my chat turned off.

So, she had no idea I was on there, when she wrote that!
I can (actually, I can't) imagine what would of happened if not for that little bit of sychronicity. Suffice to say, someone is looking out for me.
Yes, I deleted it within, say, 3 seconds?
If anyone saw it, they haven't said anything yet.
That is when I deleted her.
She shot back a mail saying, "she'd never of though I'de stoop so low, as to delete her."

I love these English words, so.. GOBSMACKED, is what I was.

While you are here, do you remember any of Dave Matthews placements besides Cap sun?
I have been searching old astro for the one thread they had on him, I remember there being some discrepancy about birth time or place, something like that.

I thought of you the other day, and had to laugh, because I was looking at my wall, and I had three videos up; Dave Matthews, Annie Lennox, and David Bowie.

I would try Astrotheme in your search for Dave's astrology.

Yeah, in that Facebook story I had linked an article that stated vegetarianism was unhealthy, so my mom chimed in saying that vegetarians had a lot of health issues or something. I was fine with what she said, and would've corrected it if I had the option, but that grammar and spelling wouldn't do.

One thing I don't like about FB is that you don't have the option to go in and edit if you put in an incorrect word, which I do ALL the time. I mean, you can delete it, and rewrite it, but that's work. lol.

You are probably not here are you?
I think I just read you are at improv?
So, I'm talking to myself, not much new there.

According to Astrotheme, Mr. Mathews has:

Cap/Sun
Cap/Merc
Cap/Moon
Libra/Mars (me too)
Aqua/Venus
Nept/Sco (me too)
Uranus & Pluto in Virgo (me too, but we are close in age-same as the Neptune)
Jupiter/Leo (me too)
NN Taurus (me too)
Chiron/Pisces (me too)

Interesting. They don't show his Asc, I think that was the thing I read about in here, nobody can find his birth time.

I was expecting Gem to be in there, he has that devilish twinkle.

I like Bowie for the groove, but I don't see his lyrics as "all that, " I mean they are okay, nothing totally emotionally moving or anything.

Eddie though, yeah, the boy can write. Can he ever!!
And his delivery is beautiful, so much emotion in his eyes, he looks like an old soul. I guess that is a silly thing to say, who knows what souls look like, but that is what comes to mind.

I wonder as I write this, why the Caps in my life have had so much trouble emoting one on one, even my girlfriends, but we have these wonderful musicians of that sun.
Maybe it's easier to write it to the world, than to say it to one person??? IDK, just pondering...

It's late, and I'm going to fall asleep to what looks like an interesting movie, called, 'The Eighteenth Angel', one of those dark religious movies I so adore.

We broke up after one year, and I wanted to stay. I was working in this fabulous pub, making more money than the hubby, and I wasn't AT ALL interested in moving home.
I had myself a roomate from MANCHESTER, who came to Italy for work.

Anyway, one day at the pub, two Italian Nationals came in and handed me a plane ticket. I said, "I don't want it, I'm staying here."
They said, "No, your husband has filed for divorce, and you cannot stay, without reason."

I said, "Well, I guess I will just have to miss that plane then won't I"

They said, "Sure, go ahead, but then we have the right to deport you. Will we put you on a ship, probably headed straight for Russia, and we are not responsible for what happens to you after that."

This was 1985.

I got on the plane, very reluctantly.
I still miss it, all the time.

Yeah, I saw the nomination. Not my first, nor likely my last. I'm not sure if Randall's buried the hatchet on me. I kind of feel like I do a fine job of Moderating without the title.

Since [the time] I've stopped doing data entry today, my index finger on my right hand has been intermittently twitching.
