Another Edition of "Only in Shelbyville"

2009-03-30T01:41:00.000-07:00

Once again, I have copied and pasted the police reports from the Shelbyville News Online. I am so proud to call that place my hometown!

12:04 a.m., 700 block of East Franklin Street - A report of several juveniles in Kennedy Park "tearing something up." No one and nothing was found.

12:12 p.m., 800 block of Miller Avenue - A woman reported someone had attempted to slash her tire.

1:50 p.m., Hubler Ford Lincoln Mercury, 2605 E. State Road 44 - Sherry K. Taylor, 18, Greensburg, was charged with forgery and identity deception when she attempted to purchase a $22,000 automobile using an AARP credit card issued to a 60-year-old Greensburg woman.
*You all do know that an AARP card is only for retired people, right? So not for 18 year olds is what I'm saying.*

7:45 p.m., 911 Hale Road - A woman reported her grandson stole her daughter's cell phone.
*So find the grandson yourself or have your daughter do it, give him a time out and get the freakin phone back!*

12:36 p.m., 500 block of Chestnut Street - A woman reported her trailer had been egged.
*Can't they say "residence?" That just sounds a little demeaning to me.*

11:18 a.m., Marsh Supermarket, 1015 E. State Road 44 - Amy S. Turner, 38, was charged with criminal conversion after being observed taking a 59-ounce bottle of whiskey valued at $21.99 from the shelf, then to the restroom, where it was found with the seal broken by a female employee. Turner was the only occupant of the restroom at the time. Turner said she'd had a bad week and wanted to get some alcohol but did not want to spend the money for it.
*No Words*

11:34 p.m., 100 block of East Broadway Street - A man reported someone broke into his home and "threw stuff everywhere."
*At least they didn't take anything. Maybe they just didn't want to mess up their own home.*

8:55 a.m., Great Clips, 1611 E. Michigan Road - A St. Paul woman, an employee, reported the theft of scissors.
* Come on, chalk it up as a loss and buy some new scissors! Someone obviously wanted to cut more than you. That would be like calling the police if your glue stick or crayons got stolen.*

Freedom of Speech...Psshhh

2009-03-21T00:43:00.000-07:00

I am deeply offended about an ignorant comment that was made having to do with a certain blog post from last Mother's Day. It was recently brought to my attention and has been bothering me for a few days now. I would appreciate if people who don't know me, have never had a personal conversation with me, or have no idea what my beliefs or opinions are not make judgements about me and pass them onto other people. I'm sure you know who you are and if you actually knew me, you would know that I am a very sarcastic person and find humor in pretty much everything. Also, you would know what kind of person I really am and you would know my background and know that the comment you made was ridiculous and unnecessary. So a word of advice, don't take everything you read seriously on the Internet, especially if you don't know anything about the person writing it. Also, if you don't like something you are reading, CLOSE THE PAGE!!!! NO ONE IS MAKING YOU READ ANYTHING!!! That is what cracks me up about these kind of issues. If I find something offensive to me on someone's blog, I simply "X" out of the page and that's the end of it. No gossiping and destroying people's personal images for this girl! FYI I deleted the post in question as to not offend anyone else, but from here on out I'm writing for myself and the people who actually know me. So, if something offends you...CLOSE THE PAGE! If something does happen to offend you, you probably shouldn't be reading my blog in the first place!

I just figured out

2008-12-12T17:49:00.001-08:00

the meaning of the song "I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus!" I had no idea that "Santa Claus" was really the little kids father! How ironic! I thought that the "Mommy" was having a hot steamy affair with the fat jolly guy!!! And to think all these years I was so disturbed by the picture that song created in my mind. Oh the things we learn when we grow up!

Another Edition of "Only in Shelbyville"

Worst Album Covers...EVER!

2008-11-14T23:34:00.001-08:00

He does look pretty REAListic on this album cover.

What is this insinuating? I don't get it... Someone fill me in.

I think the guy the fourth from the left went to my high school. Adam O anyone?

Look in the crystal ball... definitely don't see my future.

How cool is it to be in a band with your mom as the lead singer? I wonder if the keyboard player is hiding in her god awful hairdo...

Is that her dad? Her boyfriend? Is he trying to explain to her that it's no longer statutory rape now that she's sixteen? She looks pissed.

What a but-her-face! But oh my, does that strategically placed single rose make her look so innocent and demure. Totally draws the attention away from her hideous face!

Apparently "trees talk too" as well as the disturbing puppet and/or small child on her lap.

2 in the pink, one in the...

Love the porn star stash. He can borrow a feelin' anytime he wants from me. Perhaps creeped out could be the feelin' he borrows.

This is just wrong. Look at the girl in the middle. If she knew what she looked like she probably wouldn't have agreed to be on the album cover.

Only in Shelbyville...

2008-07-01T22:15:00.000-07:00

While reading The Shelbyville News, I came across a few police reports that made me question the town I grew up in and so loved. I'm sure the police do a lot to stop actual crime from happening and I'm positive the tax payers aren't wasting their money, but come on...

1:14 a.m., Kroger's, 1601 E. Michigan Road - A man opened a box of doughnuts, ate one and was going to leave without paying until confronted. The man told the officer he "wanted to try one before he bought them." The officer advised him that was not how it works. He paid for the doughnuts and was warned not to come back.

8 p.m., GasAmerica, 1424 block of Harrison Street - A man reported that a customer had came in and presented a counterfeit half dollar.

6:08 a.m., 1000 block of Spring Way Drive - A man found a white substance all over his black truck.

10:14 a.m., 100 block of Colescott Street - A woman reported the theft of a Harley-Davidson sweatshirt

8:51 a.m., 800 block of Dagley Court - A man was accused by a neighbor of urinating between the trash bins. He denied it.

7:12 a.m., Indiana Live! Casino, 4196 N. 200W - A man reported that on Sunday morning he rode to the casino with a man he had just met at Lucky's bar in the man's blue Euro, and they were gambling next to each other when he said he "hit it big" and the stranger leaned over, hit the "cash-out" button, grabbed the ticket and ran away. The man reporting the incident said it happened so fast that he didn't even see how much he had won, but he estimated it was "in the thousands."

My new nose!

2008-06-22T16:33:00.000-07:00

Okay, I'm caving and posting some awful pictures that your computers will probably all block because of the shear terror that they may produce. But, I'm doing it anyway. My surgery went well and thankfully I was prescribed some nice anti-anxiety drugs beforehand so I wasn't too nervous! Days two and three were, by far, the worst of all in the healing process (as you can tell in one of the pictures below. I was as miserable as I looked!) Enjoy!

The worst day, by far, of the entire healing process...

Getting better...

New, but really swollen profile!

2008-06-10T00:11:00.000-07:00

In the spirit of summer and bikini waxes, I thought I would post this letter. I know my first one was awful and my sister and I had to sneak in alcohol in our water bottles to get through them!

Dear Labia,

I know we don't talk often. But Majora, Minora, listen: I still don't get which of you is which, but I know I hurt you both. You have protected me my whole life and I treated you so very badly. I know this happened months ago and you're still mad... but you survived, didn't you? And, hey, we really enjoyed those few weeks with the painkillers, didn't we? I just want you to know I've learned my lesson. One of you (Majora, I think) is meant to be covered with soft downy hair, and I hereby promise not to try and change that ever again.
Love,Your Owner

I got in!

2008-05-30T05:30:00.000-07:00

I got into clinicals!

Look what we're all missing out on!

2008-05-28T06:11:00.000-07:00

I was looking at Craigs List this morning and I stumbled upon a few posts of people looking for love. Honestly, would you want to date these people?

I'm not the guy you're looking for - 21 (greenfield)

I'm not athletic, muscly, or very manly, but no one would mistake me for being gay. I don't have much money. I can't play the rebel. It's just not my personality. I'm a senior in college, but I'm not certain how I'm going to finish. I will get to it though, maybe not this year. I'm still not sure where I'm going in life. I've had a number of very close, long-term relationships. Turns out I wasn't the guy they were looking for, but I'm still not afraid of romance. My definition of romantic is probably not the same as yours. I'm not the kind of guy you can keep at arm's length. I'm too independent for clingy girls, and I'm too clingy for independent girls. I seem to crave unhappiness. I'm still not sure why this is. I don't want your picture. I don't care what you look like. That's not what this is about. Most of the time I don't care what I look like. This is not because I am completely unattractive. I prefer speaking over an instant messaging service to using the phone. This may be because I haven't matured beyond 14 years of age, but probly not. I'm smart enough to know, and notice, that "probly" is not a word. I'm not enough of an intellectual to actually care. I won't be comfortable around you the first time we meet. If we meet for a 20th time, you'll probably look back and realize that your first impression, whatever it was, was way off. I prefer to be bossed around, yet I'll resent it if I think you're not taking my feelings into account. That might even mean you'd have to know what they are. If I ever feel pressured, I will probably just withdraw. I need a girl who'll try to understand me, not change me. I'm not that big into sex, but this doesn't mean I'm incapable. I find trying to be sexy to be a turnoff, a big one. And while I am completely pessimistic about this whole thing, I'd actually really like to hear from you.

And then there is this 50 year old man:

White male seeks nice lady to cuck me. You can have all the men you want. I will love you and raise your babies. All races are encouraged to reply. I am loving and generous. Pregnant ladies given preference. Please write!

P.S. I don't know what "cuck" means, so if you do, let me know. Hopefully it's not too inappropriate!

This person, I'm sure, is only trying to be a good Samaritan:

I am looking for the guy with an artificial leg that got tasered 6 times by police at the Stone Temple Pilots concert on Friday at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. If you have any info in who he is or how I may contact him, please let me know. I want to testify on his behalf. Please contact me with any info so that I can contact him when he gets out of jail.

Wow! I'm really missing out!

Why does stuff like this only happen to me?

2008-05-22T05:27:00.000-07:00

It's only 8:27 am and already this day has started off unusually bad. I was on my way out of work and almost to my car when I realized that I had to go to the bathroom really bad. ( I drank way too much water last night) As most of you know, I only live 5 minutes away, but I really didn't want to wait. So, I go back in and use the downstairs bathroom. Without thinking, I sit down on the toilet and go about my business. I started hearing a strange noise and was looking around to see where it was coming from. As soon as I started realizing what it was...BAM...I got stung by "something" on my bottom! I jumped up and turned around and sure enough, there was a HUGE bee flying around in the toilet. I'm not talking small sweat bee or even the size of a wasp...it was a huge, fat, plump butt stinging bee. I haven't been stung since I was 4 or 5 and it was quite painful. Needless to say, I drove home from work on one cheek wishing I had waited until I got home. So, note to self: always look in toilets before using them!

Side note: I just now got the stinger out. It's kinda hard to see behind yourself!

Other side note: When asking my sister what the heck a bee would be doing in the toilet, she answered that he (yes the bee had a gender) was probably just thirsty and was getting a drink. Right... I think it was because I had Honeysuckle body splash on but it's just a hunch!

A few recent memories to share

Chicks dig him. I kinda do too.

Time to break out my old NKOTB memorabilia!

Can you believe it? Neither can I! The New Kids are starting a reunion tour! Unfortunately they are not stopping in Indiana, so I might have to travel out of state to see my beloved Joey! (or as he now calls himself: Joe Mac- which I will never accept) I never thought this day would come! They were my first concert and I will never forget standing on my chair belting out the words to"Hangin' Tough" and "Cover Girl" at age 8! (Although I doubt they were excited that the majority of their fans were still in grade school)

Update

2008-05-15T17:04:00.000-07:00

An update on my ever-changing, fast pace life: I finally got the Internet legitimately! I actually have my own password and connection and don't pick up and/or steal from my neighbor's wireless Internet anymore! I was paying $80.00 for cable only and now I pay $59.99 for cable and Internet. What a steal! Now I can post more regularly since my connection won't be interrupted every five minutes! Other than that, I am off work this Saturday night and boy am I excited! I will probably be spending the night with Kelly and Lincoln as usual. I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend and please pray that I get into clinicals! (I should be finding out soon!)

Good Times

2008-05-04T17:16:00.000-07:00

I want my mom...

2008-05-02T05:15:00.000-07:00

It's only 8:00am and already my day is off to a bad start. After working all night, the only thing that gets me home in one piece is talking on my phone. Now, it's really early and the only people up at that time are my Mom and my sister. (and Jenny on weekends) Well my Mom is off today, so that left Kelly. I got to talk to her for about 10 seconds then her phone lost its signal and that was that. So, what could make me feel better and keep me going? You guessed it, Burger King! Only after I drove there and ordered, homegirl informs me they are out of cini-minis! Second day in a row! Ahhhhhhh...about that time I felt my heart beginning to palpitate and remembered why I don't drink espresso anymore. I was sooooo tired last night that I gave in. Then the nausea set in and I barely made it home. As I was walking up my stairs it happened. I barfed all over my doorway! Am I five years old and unable to make it to the bathroom? Apparently. Afraid that I may do it again, it is still sitting there, untouched. Gross for my neighbors! I think I'll call my Mom and have her come clean it up...just kidding. The only funny part to this story is that the 10 seconds that I did talk to my sister, she informed me of her dream she had last night. She was at a frat party getting seduced by a half -man half -squirrel in the bathtub. I'm not sure I know what she means by seduced, but I probably don't want to know. Oh, and my stomach feels a little better. That's all, I'm done complaining. Over and out.

Why so happy?

Did I mention it's my first weekend off in 17 weeks? I don't think I did. I have big plans already. My mom graduates with her Masters in Nursing Friday evening then we're all going out to dinner. After that, I get to go back to the booming metropolis that is Connersville and stay the night with my sister and this little boy. Saturday night, I'm going to my friend Jeana's for a cookout. I haven't seen my friends forever so I'm beyond excited! I just have to get through one more night of work...

I like big butts and I cannot lie

Isn't he cute? At the rate I'm going, I'm starting to think this is what I am going to end up being with.

Have it MY way

Most people who know me, know about my obsession with Burger King breakfast. If you didn't, now you do. I LOVE IT! About a month ago I decided that I should lay off a little because my jeans were becoming a little tight and I was worried that I would have to resort to wearing stirrup stretch pants. So, after much needed time off from my daily (yes I said DAILY) fix of Burger King, I decided to stop by this morning after work. I felt like I deserved it due to the fact that I have worked at least part of, if not all the weekend for the past 17 weekends. I'm not lying.

So, I pull up and placed my usual order: "an order of cini-minis and a medium cheesy tot." I was greeted enthusiastically on the other end with a: "Girl, is that you? Where you been? I thought you died or moved or sumfin."

I admit, the nice lady in the drive thru knows me by my order and more embarassingly, by my name. I'm not ashamed to admit that I gave her a Christmas card or that she usually is the first to notice when I get a new hair cut. That's probably a sign to most to lay off the fast food for awhile, but not me. Ahhh.....It's good to be back!

Adult Babies

2008-04-29T01:01:00.000-07:00

After a recent sighting of my nephew in only a diaper, sucking on a pacifier, I was reminded of a disturbing image that has continued to haunt me. Adult Babies. Yes, I know it's an oxymoron, but they do exist. Haven't you ever seen Jerry Springer (yes, I admit I watch it...only when nothing else is on, right?) when they feature "Adult Babies?" It not only grosses me out beyond belief, not because they are wearing diapers, because we all know about incontinence, but because they are wearing them and don't need them! All said, it makes me wonder:

1. What kind of diapers do they use?

2. Do they use the rubber panties that go over them in case of leakage?

3. Do they have to buy double the wipes, or do they just use toilet-paper?

4. Do they change these diapers themselves?

5. If they are in public, do they nonchalantly dispose of said diaper in the main

trash or take them home with them and dispose of them in their own Diaper Genie? 6. If they have already had orthodontia, does sucking on a pacifier negate any of that fine work?

7. Do they get diaper rash? Or not because they can feel when they aren't dry and change right away?

After pondering these questions for awhile, I decided to take a deeper look into the world of Adult Babiehood. I googled "Adult Baby" and I stumbled upon a Wikipedia entry titled "Paraphilic Infantilism." Apparently, this is the correct terminology for these diaper lovin' fools!

From Wikipedia:

Paraphilic infantilism is a paraphilia characterized by the desire to wear diapers and be treated as an infant [1] or toddler. One who engages in infantilistic play is known as an adult baby (AB). About one in three adult babies is also a diaper lover (DL),[2][3] so they are collectively known as AB/DLs.[4] The majority of infantilists are heterosexual males[5].

***Attention*** Paraphilic Infantilism is not to be confused with "Diaper Fetish" Read on:

One way to describe paraphilic infantilism is to contrast it with a diaper fetish, and this contrast is most clear in fantasies. Although there is no typical AB/DL fantasy, they often fall within two extremes[6][7]. One extreme involves the fantasy of being an infant or small child; adorable, sexually innocent, and powerless. The infant fantasy might involve diapers, baby clothes, and toys to help define the infant's role. In the end, the infant might drift off to sleep in a soft crib. The other extreme is the erotic lover. The lover fantasy would focus on diapers as fetish items, sexually charged objects.

Did anyone else notice the part about "drifting off to sleep in a soft crib?" Do they make adult sized "soft cribs?" If so, could someone tell me where to get one? My sister and I found my brother-in-law in my nephews crib just hanging out one morning. No Joke! So if they are available, I'm sure they would invest in the larger model for him!
