Your song of the day is from Spain! It is by a group called D*Nash and the song is called Amanda!! I love this song! My darling Phil introduced me to it and I have been hopelessly addicted ever since. So, if you are intrigued by music from around the globe here is your chance to listen to some. Enjoy!

The Day the Earth was Supposed to End
Yesterday the world was supposed to end. Jesus was supposed to come back and rapture a bunch of the faithful home. After that who knows? Zombie Apocolaypse? All I know is that it didn't happen.
Some guy predicted this because of supposed events in tandem with the Bible's description of said events, numerology and the belief that he could figure it out all on his own, even though the Bible says,
* Matthew chapter 24, verse 36:
"But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only."
* Matthew chapter 24, verse 42:
"Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come."
* 1st Thessalonians chapter 5, verse 2:
"For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night."
For years, generations before us have believed that the world was about to come to an end. Every generation has been outlived by the world they claimed would end. Why would this be anything different? And why would Jesus (and Paul) say "of that day and hour knoweth no man" only to be proved a liar by some random guy on the news? God is perfect, according to the Bible, so how can he lie? Lying is a sin, as listed in the 10 commandmants, and God is perfect and without sin.
Therefore, anyone claiming to know the day and the hour is obviously lying, because the Bible says that God cannot lie, because he is perfect and He already said that no man may know the day or time!
Anyway, this kind of thing really bugs me. People claiming to be Christians and claiming to know the scriptures make complete fools of themselves and everyone that believes them. When I was a Christian that made me mad because I felt like it made all of us look bad. Not going to lie, but it still makes Christians look bad, even though I'm not one now.
How is it that at 22 years old, not having been a "Christian" for a few years now, I still know more than some 80-something year old man who claims he knows when the rapture is supposed to happen? How does that make any sense?
To anyone who actually believed this all I have to say is, as my, very wise, Aunt Peggy said to me:
"Time all fools were dead, don't you feel sick?"

An Experiment in Flavors = FAIL
So the other day I was hanging out with Fawn and Pomegranate. Yep, that's right. I typed POMEGRANATE. As in, Pomme and I are now back on speaking terms. Which is good, because I did miss hanging out with her.
Anyway, we were at a local cafe which just so happens to be a non-profit cafe that donates all of its proceeds to different foundations around the world.
This cafe happens to serve Gelato which is kind of like a thick Ice Cream. One of the flavors they had for said gelato was Chocolate Bacon. That's right, CHOCOLATE BACON! As in there were bacon bits in my Italian Ice Cream! IT didn't taste good. Luckily I didn't buy it, I only sampled. And immediately afterward I had to sample something else to get the horrendous taste of chocolate flavored bacon (or was it bacon flavored chocolate?) out of my mouth. Yuck!
So note to self: Never order a Chocolate Bacon Gelato. EVER.

Tunak Tunak Tun
Today's song is Indian. I am, once again, trying to broaden my musical horizons and this is what I came up with! Donnie has been asking me to post this for a few days now and admittedly, I've been meaning to!
This song is sung by Daler Mehndi, who is just awesome. I mean, just look at him!
Doesn't he just scream awesome?
"Tunak Tunak Tun" was released in 1998 and was, apparently, the first music video in India to use the technology of Blue screen (also known as Green Screen and Chroma Key). It has become not only popular in India, but a cult hit in various other countries around the world and an Internet meme.
So, for your viewing and listening pleasure, here is Tunak Tunak Tun by Daler Mehndi.

Moments
These are moments I'll remember (and some I'll cherish) forever. I'm trying to savor all of these moments. I'm trying to live like I am dying. Enjoy everything, do everything. No more hesitating!
Breaking into a disco dance session at the stop light with Kid and L.E.D.
Coming up with reasons why the bunny stopped right in the middle of the road so that L.E.D almost hit it. (The bunny lost its bunny job and its wife left, so it had nothing left to live for; its life long dream was to be bunny stew; and it was emo)
Slow dancing with Donnie, in our bedroom, to a song that isn't even romantic.
Talking with Rick, from work, and L.E.D for an hour and half in front of a restaurant on the square.
Standing in front of the Lincoln Memorial for the first time and realizing just how small I really am.
Drooling over Gackt with Donnie.
Feeling pretty for the first time in a long time.
Singing "Good Morning" from "Singing in the Rain" at work, even though it wasn't morning anymore.
Riding in the car on a beautiful day with Kid, where we don't talk but just enjoy the beauty of nature.
Finally getting my GED.
Putting the wrong zip code for my address on the love letter I mailed to Donnie.
Joking about going to the "gangbang" while completely lost with Phil, my brother and Eric.
My sister saying "I'm a sucker for penis" in front of my mother on Mother's Day. The look on my mom's face was also quite priceless.
Meeting my best internet friend in real life.
Realizing that I am who I am and I want to be that person.
The look on Donnie's face when "Judas" by Lady Gaga came on.
Going to the movies with my friends.
Walking to work on a beautiful day, Starbucks Frappuccino in hand, and the complete feeling of contentment.
Making my favorite waiter literally run away from my table because I embarrassed the hell out of him, again.
Being the bigger person in an argument with a willfully ignorant person.
Re-discovering Mark Twain.
Buttering my face after losing my bet with Donnie.
Finally sending that letter to Barack Obama that I've always wanted to send. And realizing that he will NEVER actually read it!
Sending random cards to the people I love, the people I don't know and the people I admire.
Listening to the same part of "Nothing Else Matters" by Apocalyptica over and over and over as loudly as I can. Also, rocking out on the air cello!
Writing my Bucket List.
Several beautiful, unique and out of the blue weddings.
Getting story ideas from some weird and messed up nightmares.
L.E.D and Kid rolling me down the parking lot while I was trashed.
Getting trapped on the tire swing (in my beautiful dress) at L.E.D's graduation party because my feet couldn't touch the ground.
L.E.D, Kid and I all sitting on the swings, even though Kid was in the baby one!
L.E.D's graduation.
Sipping Eggnog Chai with Fawn.
Getting hit on by a random guy in a white SUV with my soon to be sister-in-law.
Discovering that May is Zombie Appreciation Month.
The talking red hamster!
