Wow I love finding oldies that I either don't remember .....really paying attention or just was never in the right place at the right or wrong time.

SHORT PEOPLE by: Randy Newman.....He has a diffrent way of writing and style that I wasn't really aware of.. Recognize the name but not the song ... Very Interesting I'll let you find out what it is about....Let me know if you have any questions..giggle...

I decided to tweek it turned it on it's side and made it black & red to me it looks like an image with a thumbs up... yeah crank up the heat why not...and in the top right corner it looks like a panther or something. Kemo's tongue looks like a headstone...We are breaking a record... Lopezians are really quite whimpy when it comes to heat. MOI included I hate the heat now. My dentist app. has been canceled and rescheduled for the following week you can imagine how sad I am about that...I'm going to stand by a fan now...later..

My family lives on Lopez and we are sick and heartbroken we are not spared as most of us have raised kids and we all could have been those parents with those kids or mentors. We aren't perfect parents BUT we served our time raising our children in what we hoped would be God fearing (respectful) of God, Humanity, animals and LIFE. I feel so thankful that our TOUGH LOVE paid off as it isn't as easy of a road... which so many parents don't care to take which is sad. Spare the rod and I don't mean muscle car...There is something too having a healthy fear (respect) in our responsiblities as young people. Earn your priviledges or pay the consequences which I would bestow on my 15 yr old . Young adult. We are praying for all involved this IS NOT kids being kids and it will not surprise me if they lose everything...My gosh texting while driving is a hazard what part of knowingly speeding would anyone in their right mind not get...I hope that this posterchild will have taught other young people here and beyond a very serious lesson. Were just sick about this....

I really don't need to write about it as I have e-mailed and spoken to family about this and members of our tight community are grieving a very horrible incident that occured yesterday afternoon. I have just gulped back the tears and been sick to my stomach all day today so needing to spend time telling family and friends I LOVE THEM and just sitting quietly praying for all. I always like to pick a song (old school) from you tube video's that are for me but if they mean anything to others then great..Usually it's a grainy vid and nothing like the ones today... It's cool for me to go back to the old days and pray, think, cry, smile, whatever...Reflect... well I hope you check this one out.... during the great instrumental I prayed with such passion for this horrible nightmare that hit our islands heartstrings yesterday..click on the video below...
SWEET.... LOVE IS LIKE OXYGEN... They do sound a bit like ELO...

If you see the comments on you tube I am Birdnerd...enjoy...also if you find your pewter is slow let it run through once then hit replay at the end..it should play without stopping.

2009-07-17T15:15:00.000-07:00

Happy Friday video selection... I was looking for Lindsey Buckinghams (Fleetwood Mac) song Going Insane but haven't located the version I want to post , I'll continue to look in a moment ...however I found this gem it's really a diffrent twist to one of my fav. song You Can Go Your Own Way as he sings it solo nothing else.. no backup , instrument just belting it out. You may not like it but I like finding the diffrent to the more given version. I've always looked more at Stevie Nicks as I have been told all my life I look like her well not anymore at our ages.. I was told that into my 40's anyway. So enjoy... now I will go look for Going Insane a version I like...

By Associated Press
FRIDAY HARBOR, Wash. (AP) - The Coast Guard says a 65-foot whale-watching vessel carrying 80 passengers ran aground Wednesday evening north of Lopez Island in northwest Washington's San Juan islands. No injuries were reported and damage to the vessel was minimal.Coast Guard Petty Officer Colin White says several other boats took the passengers off the Odyssey to transport them to Friday Harbor.Odyssey crew members reported the grounding about 5:30 p.m. Wednesday.White says Coast Guardsmen from the patrol boat Swordfish responded and determined the Odyssey was taking on water at about a gallon per minute but onboard pumps were dealing with the water. White says no pollution was evident.The whale-watching vessel Western Prince II and several other recreational vessels from Friday Harbor helped off-load the passengers.The Coast Guard says the Odyssey floated free on the incoming tide at about 8:30 p.m. and headed for Friday Harbor.

Funny as George and I compete in the Old School Olympics , the way we play this is that we both try to out do each other with the weirdest songs from the past. No wonder we had one of our selections on the top 10 Dr. Demento show 70's..... We know how to pick em alright. I hope when time permits you can even go back through my older posts and see some of the cool video's I felt were worth posting and shareing.... This guy is funky and the way he tosses his old microphone around is a hoot, hay bails hats hornrim glasses I had to leave a comment he sort of sounds like Robert Crey and when we first moved to the island in '87 Robert Crey was playing at our local restraunt/bar... I love anyone that can put on a show that is cool years down the road...Have fun I want hear what you think do send e-mail as most can't leave comments.. Have fun ya hear...Monkey Bear.

OH HERE'S A KEEPER AND HOW WE NAMED MONKEY BEAR OUR POOCH

2009-07-08T14:45:00.000-07:00

Just for now I'm providing 2 of the links on you tube. It's not the clearest sounding video/sound for the song but if you remember it you know the words....Love the words in it "So I sat in the attic with a piano up my nose"....hilarious it's Paul McCartney tribute too but sounds like 3 Dog Night and a couple others. I liked the Gotheic look so if you don't and want a better sound and hear the words then click on another one , I just like the B&W and full moon since we have a full moon now. George brought up the oldie
yesterday...... 1971 and we had named our pooch after the song well kinda Monkberry Moon Delight... Monkey Bear

TODAY I REFLECTED IN LOVE WHO AND WHAT REALLY MATTERS/ AND WHO AND WHAT DOESN'T

2009-07-07T13:52:00.000-07:00

After experiencing the Micheal Jackson celebration of LIFE I gleened alot about my ecentric mother (deceased) and my adopted dad TF (deceased) and my own life amongst other family and friends around us. Things were diffrent for me as I posted on an older post that said it all..."I'M ALL THATS LEFT OF A BAZZARE CHILDHOOD"...I could relate in many personal ways to Micheal Jackson growing up and alot of unhappy stuff. I no longer dwell in the past, but you do learn at my age who is for you and who is against you who thinks the best of you and who thinks the worst and hasn't a clue they missed something.... and hearing just the tip of the iceberg about MJ brought up the old scars that have now healed. I know.... who loves me and who is against me it's no big mystery. Since Bob Dylan is a legend himself and at one time a personal friend that George & I brought to the Lord I have always thought this a fitting song for MJ's family, friends ,and so called people that we thought loved us or cared...Wrong...It is so well written and it is perfect for those who didn't ever know the real MJ or myself and husband...We will always be reminded of those people no longer in our lives they are "dead" even if they still walk and breath.. and we have been delivered...Peace with God....If you are interested and have had these ugly, types of people in your life I think you will "Get It" good message from ol' Bob Dylan a shout out to the ones..... and you wouldn't need to think twice ...Note: They won't be at my celebration of Life event when I pass.... No shock there, If your reading this it isn't you unless you don't want to come. George is on the same page on this one Amen!

I just busted loose with the tears at the end...I did not expect the celebration of his life to be so awesome. When I finally cried.... this man reminded me of my own ecentric mother and my adopted dad ....Also the fact that they were living in the movie and music industry which is a bazzare life that I was a part of growing up... I had absolutley no clue I thought it might be a circus, it was beautiful I am so honored that I got to see it via television.....I always knew he was special but this really brought it (heart and home).. I was reminded of the Love of our Lord and this truly blessed me Thankyou Lord Jesus... and Thankyou Micheal for being a part of our life...

GRANDPARENTS GONE WILD

2009-07-01T12:46:00.000-07:00

First time we have watched one of the grandbabies for a couple of days, and another couple days coming up...We have to gear up for the funny farm a ride on the arc w/ all the animals and an active boy that gets so excieted that the old bones are comin. The first day was hard and even the trying moments were really funny. Example George wrestled a St. Bernard to try and untangle him under a deck while another wild crazy dog ran around jumping over Geo. etc. then if it weren't hard enough to cope the grandchild takes the dogs water dish and dumps it through the cracks splashing the old gramps but not soaking him or the dog....I just howled laughin, it doesn't get any crazier..We did have a cool painting session in the craft room til the paint became body paint on the other person tit for tat...( Whats a tit for tat...hum) well brushes were moving onto skin not canvas. The old peeps were really worn out the first day and a fond memory that will last a lifetime..The presents that mom left to open each day were a fabulous hit. The bubble gun w/ propeler was great till my grandson decided to blow the air onto the side and back of my head. My hair got caught in the propeler and as he squeezed the trigar pulled out my hair on the side of my head... he wanted to fix it by putting a chiquita banana sticker on me like a bandaid. Well we all survived so next time on survivor stories we hope to wear the kid out again ...I love reverse physcology....Happy ending when the grand peeps wear out the wild thangs...

2009-06-26T15:25:00.000-07:00

My dad George was at work and at lunch break decided to walk on the beach on the rocks when suddenly he heard this loud noise that startled him. It was a huge whale within a stonethrow away blowing his blowhole spout . George had his camera round his neck but it happened so fast and unexpected he couldn't get one until it surfaced a mile away which is what you see. George probabley scared the whale as well.... It was a little up and too close emerging from the water. It scared the JONAH out of him... Monkey Bear...

CHILDREN FULL OF LIFEIn the award-winning documentary Children Full of Life, a fourth-grade class in a primary school in Kanazawa, northwest of Tokyo, learn lessons about compassion from their homeroom teacher, Toshiro Kanamori. He instructs each to write their true inner feelings in a letter, and read it aloud in front of the class. By sharing their lives, the children begin to realize the importance of caring for their classmates.Capturing the intimate moments of the students' laughter and tears, the film explores one teacher's approach to allowing children the opportunity to discover the value of sharing powerful emotions. Classroom discussions include difficult issues such as the death of a parent or being the victim of bullying. In this "school of life," the simple message is learning to look after one another.
Following Mr. Kanamori's class for a whole school year, the cameras were kept at the children's eye-level, giving their view of the world as they cope with troubled relationships and the loss of loved ones. Through their daily experiences, viewers see how they develop together a spirit of co-operation and compassion.Children Full of Life was awarded the Global Television Grand Prize at this year's 25th Anniversary Banff Television Festival, the festival's highest honour. It was the first time Japan took the top prize. As well, the documentary won the Rockie Award in the Family and Youth Programs category.Children Full of Life is directed by Noboru Kaetsu and produced by the Japan Broadcasting Corporation (NHK).

WELCOME TO THE HOTEL CALIFORNIA REGOGNIZE THE COVER OF THIS OLD ALBUM

2009-06-14T11:51:00.001-07:00

YEP THIS IS THE REAL HOTEL CALIFORNIA....THE EAGLES
This hotel has a story... I'm not going to write about how it originated but I can tell you it's this humungas hotel and I mean huge huge.... and it towers, the mission, and bells, as high up as the eye can see. The courtyards pools and food excellent. Now here's the amazing thing about it when we stay it is a ghost town experience it is so errie in the sense that we are practically the only people there just Monkeys mom and dad...no kidding and maybe the help live in some of the rooms. The place is so desolate around it that people have to decide are they going to stay here or keep going on to a more happening place. We stayed here a couple of times and what happened was this.. George checks in and comes to the car... we get out with huge arches entry and it's a world of it's own... Nobody in sight. we wander to our room through amazing corridors til we find our room it's sort of a treasure hunt. Rooms are nice and then we look and see there is a nice restraunt there....They advertise Prime Rib very very fair inexpensive prices. So I think okay George goes down to see what it looks like and there is only the chef standing there. I sat on one of the many mission benches outside in the warm desert breeze....I think we wanted it to be brought to the room so it was... More food than anyone one could eat massive feast everything and we had the whole fixings to last another day and night. Long story short it's the weirdest place ever and it's for real. I guess if people keep driving past and don't pull off on the Twilight Zone Exit we have our own beautiful mission all to ourselves very high end and too reasonable at least the times we have come through. We miss not stopping each time but if we arrive in that area too early we just opt to keep driving. The other windmill pic is Andersons Split Pea restraunt and headquarters...Kids love it..

ON THE WAY BACK HOME FROM CALI SOME INTERESTING SITES PHOTO'S FROM HIGHWAY BY MONKEY BEARS MOM

2009-06-14T11:06:00.000-07:00

All aboard here we go back home . We asked Georges dad what the signs were all about Congress Dust Bowls blah blah blah... Where there use to be thriving lush orchards and produce, it was reduced to just dust and dead everything ... well even some signs that say they have polluted the drinking water etc. you will have to double click on each photo and try and read the signs. Then you would see a sign where Congress hadn't distroyed the productivity YET...It was a rather grim statement of affairs. Very desolate looking. You can see the contrast even though I made the photo's more dramatic, and interesting otherwise they would bore you to tears. Now the odd pic in the mix is of Half Dome with a river and bank with lush grass and flowers... well that was an R.V. the back anyway that was in front of us... We were in the blasted ugly desert part of the drive and then staying behind this humungas R.V. made us feel like we were in an old Lucy and Ricky movie skit or Amos and Andy.. It was funny. Sort of surreal I suppose.
