My Riverdance Saga

Recently I had someone ask me about a Twitter Exchange they saw on my Blog Sidebar between my friend Ann-Marie and myself.  It Went something like this

   ampincivero  @usethefarce I heard that you pulled a muscle Riverdancing?! Sorry I missed that! UR hilarious. Have a great weekend. Cheers. :)

 

usethefarce Who me? Lies I tells ya.  

   

ampincivero @usethefarce A little bird told me. She's a nice bird. Seems trustworthy. :) 

ampincivero @usethefarce But I know "Believe none of what you hear, half what you see & all that you experience." Come Riverdance at Ribfest tomorrow!   

 

usethefarce @ampincivero it is true. But I'll save you the visual. Trust me its better for both of us. Was a one time thing I'll probably not live down 

ampincivero  @usethefarce I wish I'd been there to see the once in a lifetime performance! :)  

Let me explain a couple of things before I go too far.  First I work shifts...both days and nights.  Sometimes nightshifts are long and boring and often around 3 am two things happen to me.  I start to get a little silly/punchy..and I get a second wind.  Which is basically a "Perfect Storm" of comedy and embarrassment, comedy for my coworkers and embarrassment for me.

On this particular night I received an email with the following video

Now to this day I have no idea what came over me...but in talking/laughing about his video I thought it would be ok for me to regale my coworkers with my own version of the Riverdance (sans headband sadly)

Well two things happened..first I got what was possibly the biggest laugh of my life...the second?  I pulled a goddamn muscle.  Not in my legs, or hips, or even anywhere on my lower body.  I pulled a muscle....IN MY UPPER ARM...whaaa?  Yes..in my arm...in throwing my arms down stiffly at my sides I pulled a shoulder muscle.  Ouchie...and boy did that point out just how out of shape I am.  (I still say that I am, in fact, in shape...round is a shape damnit) 

So this twitter exchange was just lat week...the event..occurred over a year ago.  Needless to say, I will probably never live this down.  I'm also constantly being asked to recreate it..which I really can't.  I tell people it was a once in a lifetime performance.  And if how my coworkers reacted to this time is any indication, I'll be much more careful where I direct my 3 am silly energy in the future.

Oh...incidentally, if you enjoy music and great song writing you should check out my friend Ann-Marie's YOU TUBE CHANNEL and Follow her on TWITTER

An "Incredible" Coincidence

The other day I was browsing IMDB as I tend to do from time to time.  While there I was checking out some of the new shows that are going to be coming out on TV this fall.  One of them caught my eye...the new Michael "The Shield" Chicklis show "No Ordinary Family".  From the looks of it it appears to be about a super-hero family with Michael starring as the Patriarch.  In looking at the photos something caught my eye.  I notice that the brick work on the fireplace showed a striking resemblance to another famous super-hero family's living room.

See what I'm talking about...no?...look at this photo with the areas highlighted

An Amazing Coincidence don't you think?  The Incredible's Living room has a very similar fireplace as the "No Ordinary Family" brood.  huh..I wonder if that was on purpose?


OH...AND HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MY  MOMMY!!!

Indy News and a New Idea

Good morning friends and readers. I just finished working a 12 hr night shift so this one is going to be short and suh-weet, with a capital SUH. I read something that made me smile and wiggle in my chair a bit, as some of you may have guessed I'm a bit of an Indiana Jones fan...I loved all the movies..yes even the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, widely panned in the media but I still got all giggly when Indy put that hat on in the first couple of minutes. So I read HERE that Skull star Shia LaBeouf says he's in talks to reprise his role as the son of Indiana Jones in a fifth movie of whip cracking, action packing awesomeness. Britain's Daily Express reports that LaBeouf has confirmed earlier reports suggesting another Jones adventure may be in the works. Indy himself, the very awesome and incomparable Harrison Ford, had previously hinted that Doctor Jones may have enough gas left in the tank for one more go. Me likey. If this movie goes I'll be in line first day to go see it. Sure Indy may be getting up there but he still kicks ass.

I'm also throwing around ideas about a regular weekly posting on Stigmas that Geeky people face in the media etc. So if you read this, please enter comments below and give me your ideas for a title for this weekly feature, haven't decided on a day yet so go nuts. If I use your idea you get bragging rites and a mention of your own blog or site of your choice in the first posting of that blog

First baby Sickness - I'm Dealing

Hello,

Just wanted to let you all know I've been kind of out of the bloggersphere lately because my little girl has a stomach flu bug.  I never knew I'd be so obsessed with puke and poop before..but here it is. 

You are not truly a parent until your baby barfs the entire contents of the bottle she just drank all over the both of you.  Also you have not lived till you've cleaned puke out of a car seat.

Be back soon...be well
