The BAND of the WEEK

THE KINKS

The Kinks were an English rock band formed in Muswell Hill, North London, by brothers Ray and Dave Davies in 1964.





Ray Davies (lead vocals, rhythm guitar) and Dave Davies (lead guitar, vocals) remained members throughout the group's 32-year run.

Kinks are recognized as one of the most important and influential rock acts of the era.

Original members Pete Quaife (bass guitar, vocals) and Mick Avory (drums and percussion) were replaced by John Dalton in 1969 and Bob Henrit in 1984, respectively.

Dalton was in turn replaced by Jim Rodford in 1978. Keyboardist Nicky Hopkins accompanied the band during studio sessions in the mid-1960s. Later, various keyboardists, including John Gosling and Ian Gibbons, were full-time members.

The Kinks had five Top 10 singles on the US Billboard chart. Nine of their albums charted in the Top 40.

The original four members of The Kinks were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

The Kinks are recognized as one of the most important and influential rock acts of the 1960s.

P'ups Cards

Here are all my cards from 5finity's "P'ups: Pin-Ups and Puppies" set. I have 3 of my 4 Artist Exclusives available for sale if anyone is interested.

The "D" Word

Today, I am going to be talking about

D I V O R C E.

This ring is a symbol of what?

What the Hell!

What is it r e a l l y a symbol of? I can honestly say that having a ring does NOT define my relationship with the sportsman. It is just a piece of jewelry to me.

I won't be getting into "Vows" today. Since currently I just don't give a shit.


I have recently read some other blogs where ppl are single and looking for love/relationship. What I’m talking about here only refers to ME.

I’m not saying that you shouldn’t go out and find someone. I’m just thinking this whole permanent relationship thing might not be for ME.


So I have been thinking about this/my future for some time now. Divorcing my sportsman. This is a very difficult subject for me to write about.  Although for the most part I put it ALL out there when I write.


My reasons for considering this has nothing to do with any outside influence. It’s all about the Sportsman.


These reasons are not the typical ones that people would normally get divorced for. They are not because of infidelity, money, and/or lying. I suppose that could be seen as a positive thing and that it should have some bearing on my decision.

I have even done a freakin list of good vs bad. I have seriously tried to be reasonable in my thoughts.

But some things just fucking piss me off.

So here is the list of what has bothered me enough to even consider getting a divorce.


1. He has a cell phone, but he never fucking turns it on, or carries it with him.
This is a problem why? Hello I have a health condition; I need to be able to get a hold of him at all times. Just so you know I never call him. but the few times I do need to get ahold of him he doesn't freakin answer.

2. He refuses to go to the doctor for his snoring.
While this is # 1 a health issue that he refuses to seek treatment for, but #2 it also in my opinion has caused a gap between us in our relationship since we do not sleep in the same bed.

3. He needs to loose weight.
 Also another health issue. I don’t get it how men can go to the gym all the time and still be thick(pot belly) in the middle? What the heck!

I know your thinking that seems petty, but its not. Its about his fucking health. 


4. He has this tone in his voice that he uses with me, like no matter what I want to discuss I am totally annoying him.


5. He is a very passive/mellow man, so that means I have to be the “man” of the family 90% of the time. Who the hell has the time. To do it all.


So I know your probably thinking that these are pretty fucking lame excuses.

In my defense............................


How many times can you discuss something and not see a change and be ok with it?

5 times? 15 times? 100 times?

I have talked to him about every single one of these, and if he had made any attempt to rectify them I might not be considering this.


I want my man to step up, in times when necessary. Why is it that men have the balls but never seem to use them? (my opinion is not just based on the sportsmans behavior). I'm thinking I have bigger balls than most men I know.

What the fuck???

I am not here to bash the sportsman, or men in general. But………………………Until I change my mind I currently see them (MEN) good for only one thing and that is to fuck.

I get it that not all men are like this, but I can say that most of the men I have come in contact with are.

Roles reversal? Maybe

I am beginning to wonder If I am just one of those ppl who doesn’t belong in a relationship. I am after all a free spirit.


It’s no big secret I have been married two times before. Both only made it to 5 years. This time around I have been with the sportsman 12 years. We have been married 9 of those years.


I feel as if life is sooooo short and even shorter for some. So why should I stay in a relationship where It’s obvious I am not happy. Is it even possible for me to be happy? Maybe I have a mental illness and I should be locked up? Maybe I just belong a l o n e?

Or

Maybe I just keep settling.

I suppose this is

Rejected Alternate Titles for "Sex and the City 2"

Lastest Quick Listoon written by the beautiful Stacy Austin Sheffield. Stacy is like Charlotte hot. And in case you were unaware, Charlotte is the hottest of all those broads. For realz.

Veggies are for what?

I try really hard to eat right. My family buys a lot of shit at the freakin health food store, which by the way if you don’t already know. That shit is expensive. No wonder the U.S. has such a problem with ppl being over weight.

 Who the hell can afford to eat good. Seriously.


Anyways, did you know that there is also all kinds of organic hair, body, face, lips, and even baby care shit out there? I had no freakin idea.


So recently, while I was out “blowing money” as the sportsman likes to put it. I was about to buy a bottle of a $17 dollar something, and my daughter says “hey lets check out the organic stuff”. I was all “WHAT organic stuff”? So she opened my eyes to all kinds of new stuff.


In case your not aware of what organic means, here is the definition.


1. Organic: foods that are made in a way that limits or excludes the use of synthetic materials during production. The use of conventional non-organic pesticides. It means animals that are antibiotics and growth hormone free.
2. developing naturally: occurring or developing gradually and naturally, without being forced or contrived.


In the end I put back the $17 dollar bottle of shampoo and picked up the "Say Yes to Carrots" shampoo. Which also was cheaper.


There are several other different organic brands out there. I just happen to really like the “Say Yes” line.

Which is kinda funny since I rarely say "Yes" to anything except SEX. ha ha ha


"Say Yes", has Organic Carrot, Organic Sweet Potato, and Organic Pumpkin in it. YUMMY!


Now they also have shampoos and conditioners that have tomatoes in them for volumizing and cucumbers that are for color treated hair.


All of the shampoos in the “Say Yes” line are paraben free and SLS Free.


I have been using it for awhile now and I think it is just AWESOME. Oh, and did I say it smells great too? Well it does.


So I decided that I should share this information with YOU.

The best part is these products are not expensive.


I promise you won’t ever hear me pimp out any product unless I love it or am personally using it.


So if you’re looking for something new or are thinking of trying out some organic stuff. You should totally check out Say Yes to Carrots.

Or

 if you know of some other brand or products that are organic,

please share the l o v e.

Cal Slayton Sketchbook Volume 1

As I mentioned in my post about my 2010 goals, I wanted to publish a sketchbook this year through one of the print-on-demand sites. Well, I'm happy to say I can check that off my list.

Cal Slayton Sketchbook Volume 1 is now available through Lulu. It's a 64 page, full color, perfect bound 8.5" x 11" book. It contains about 180 images. Comic book work, commissions, rough sketches, vector art, sketch cards. It's a huge collection of work I've down over the past several years.

I got my first copy the other day and think the printing turned out pretty great. I was pleasantly surprised at the quality. I hope they can keep up that consistency because it looks nice. Here are a few photos I took of it. You can also see a bunch of preview pages on Lulu.

You put what on your leg??????

If you remember not too long ago I talked about my moms cat, and how she had to shave it , they call it a "Lion" cut(to put this slimy medication on) cause it had ringworm. Go HERE If you need a refresher OR to see the freakin funny ass photo of her c a t.


In case you are not aware of what ring worm is, I will give you a little bit of 411.


Ringworm: a fungal disease of the skin, scalp, or nails in which intensely itchy ring-shaped patches develop.

Sounds yummy right.

So anyways, to back things up a bit. My mom had ringworm on her leg. That is how she found out the cat had it. Also cause there were huge chunks of the cats fur and skin falling off. Ewwwwwwwwwwwwww


Now my mom has had it (the ringworm) since Jan, yes folks that is 5months. She went to the doctor and has been putting ointment on it. However that shit wasnt working, so she went back to the doctor a 2nd time, and they gave her a new script. That she did NOT get filled, why you ask? Cause it was like $60 and she refused to pay that much for ointment.


Might I also add that the cats ringworm has already cleared up.


Sooooooooo I am at her house this last weekend and she makes me swear I won’t tell my sister, but…………………….


She has been using the cat’s ointment for HER ringworm that she has on her leg. WTF??? Seriously.


After I quit laughing my ass off, I reminded her that if the tube says for dogs, cats, and horses then she probably should not be using it.

In her defense, it is finally clearing up her ring worm and I haven’t noticed any weird mental things going on with her, so she must be ok.


However, one never knows about lasting effects of using an animals medication.

(Other than the week before when we were all over at my moms house, she offered my nephew some sun flower seeds, my sister says "um I didnt see any in the kitchen where did you get those"? My mother replied, the bird seed bag.)

So should I be concerned? or is this an age thing to be a little quirky?


Let me add that while she has had the ringworm, I have not used the toilet at her house. Is that wrong? Does it make me a super germ freak? Of course.


But what the hell. I am not taking any chances on getting ringworm on my leg or vagina.


AS you can tell its freakin damn hard to get rid of.

Kickass BAND of the Week

Drowning Pool

I chose this band kickass bad, since I have been listening to them well forever but really alot since Rock Fest.

I love their newest song, "Feel Like I Do".

It goes something like this , "The love, the hate, regret, we all have it. Hey,  Hey. We all have it.  Raise your hands if you feel like I do, Scream it loud if you feel like I do.

Scream it loud, Like you do, like I do, Like we all do."

Doesn't that just get you all pumped up. WTF!

I don't see how this song wouldn't get everyone all fired up for a lame ass Monday morning at work.

Drowning Pool

is a four-piece heavy metal band that was formed in 1996 in Dallas, Texas.

They are currently signed to Eleven Seven Music and have released four albums, their most recent being their self titled album, Drowning Pool, which was released on April 27, 2010.

Each of their first three albums has featured a different lead singer. After original lead singer Dave Williams died, Jason Jones took over for their second album, Desensitized. When he left the band for personal reasons, he was replaced by former Soil lead singer Ryan McCombs for Full Circle.

McCombs then returned to sing on their fourth album Drowning Pool. The band played in Crüe Fest 2: The White Trash Circus in the Summer of 2009.

Drowning Pool rose to fame while playing along with Ozzy Osbourne during an Ozzfest tour. Their 2001 debut album, Sinner, was certified platinum within six months, and the video for its first single "Bodies" was widely aired on various music video channels.

After the September 11th attacks, radio stations pulled "Bodies" because there were concerns regarding its content in light of the 9/11 victims who had jumped from the towers.

On August 14, 2002, the band's lead singer Dave Williams was found dead inside his tour bus,  he suffered from a form of heart disease.

Poison Ivy and Harley Quinn Pin-up

Here's a new piece I did in trade for a Spookytown pin-up. Went a little of my comfort zone with this one. I wanted to do it without the usual think black lines outlining everything and define the shapes with colors as much as I could. So after I did my rough sketch, I blew it up, light-tabled it under my Bristol board, drew it in blueline pencil and then colored it with markers. Here is the finished piece and the rough sketch. Hope you like it.

Brent Schoonover on Spookytown

The awesome Brent Schoonover whipped up this incredible Spookytown pin-up for me. I haven't seen the actual piece yet, just this jpeg. Can't want to have this bad boy in my hands. I haven't done my image for him yet, he's holding off until later. I believe he's going to be doing a new porject of his own and wants me to do something with it. Looking forward to it. Thanks Brent!

Whats in a NAME

I got to thinking the other day, about how no one really knows why I picked my blog name. Maybe you don’t really give a shit.

 Also I don’t think I ever really explained why I call my husband the “Sportsman”. So it made me think about some of the blogs I read and how or why you came up with your blog names.


I know that most of us use fake names for our children and our spouses, but I always wonder why some ppl chose certain names.


So this is me being nosey. I wanna know.
Why you chose the name that you did. I find it very interesting. I can only assume that the name that you chose describes you as a person or your life.


I may be completely freakin wrong, but that doesn’t make me any less curious.


So here is why I chose “SoccerMom08”, I am in deed a soccermom. If you need the definition as to what exactly that is, you can go HERE where I have explained in one of my oringials posts.


So, my son plays soccer and his # is 8. He has had that # since he was four years old. It is his lucky #. Why he chose that # all those years ago, I don’t know. I mean come on he was freakin 4 years old. What do you know at 4?


As of recent I have become a little concerned about what I will do when my sons graduates, cause then technically I won’t be a “soccermom” anymore. (unless he goes on to play at college)So does this mean that I should change my blog name? or should I leave it the same.


Now for why I call my husband the “Sportsman” it’s no secret that he is obsessed with sports. Watching, listening and playing. Any and all sports. Sorry nothing interesting behind that one.


AS for my pets, well hell those really are their names.


Moog (the chihuahua) was named after the guitar amplifier "moog".
Maile (the chihuahua) is named after the samoan word for dog.
Rufus (the wiener) well hell I’m not really sure where we got his name. I think it just stands for aka “Fat Ass”.

So, come on please share with me

and well

 everyone

how you came up with your name.

Curious minds want to freakin know.

Texas Comicon

Come out to the Texas Comicon June 18, 19 and 20th in San Antonio.

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh YES

Yes, was a nearly impossible difficult hard word to come up with something to write about.
As a NORM, I very rarely e v e r  say YES.

I am however the queen of the fucking word “Maybe”. Which hello, is aka for NO!
Just ask anyone who knows me.

Except, I always say YES to sex with the “Sportsman”. What the hell, who wouldn’t say yes to that????

So here we go.

One way that the word YES comes into play for me.


In my opinion, YES is a very powerful word. I believe it should be used very carefully. One should not just throw the word "Yes” around willie nillie.


I’ll give you a little insight about me. I have this big thing about whom I choose to be friends with. I am very freaky picky. (It has nothing to do with how your friends reflect what kind of person you are)


It is no secret that I don’t trust just anyone. I am SUPER big on loyalty.

 So heres whats important to me, in a my world.


First, I am all about the type of friends that don’t judge me. Since I am not perfect.


Second it’s all about the kinda of friends that are always there for me. No matter what kind of shit I get into. You know the kind of friends that will drop everything just to come to your rescue cause you really, really need them. These same friends will never repeat what they saw.


Now, I have a handful of these kind of people in my life. This is partly my fault, I  just don’t trust.


I am not flippin paranoid or anything. I just have had too many people shit on me in the past. So this makes me just a little bit skittish when it comes to trusting.


What I’m trying to spit out is, I want to say thank you to those few kick ass friends I have.

Thanks for accepting me and all my weird, kinky, and strange shit.

So I say YES

 to

YOU

my most awesome friends!

R.I.P. Frankie Man 1998-2010

Rest in peace Mr. Man.

Where One Road Ends Another Begins

This last week with all the posts from the Momalom challenge, I have come to realize a few things.

The challenge was to write about 5 words. Your posts were put out there for everyone to read.

One of the words was “Happiness”. Realizing that in general I always write stuff that is just a little outside the box. It was no surprise that my post was a lot different than everyone elses. The other posts I read made me somewhat sad.

Sad because they all wrote about things that made them happy in their life. While I wrote about happiness I thought I had, that was quickly sliping away.

Their posts made me realize many things. Things about myself and about others. Things that maybe I had been shoving way back there in the back of my fucking head, what the hell obviously I didn’t want to deal with them.

So , 1st off I came to realize that I have many awesome great fantastic kickass honest caring virtual friends out there.

I want to thank every one of them for all the great heart felt comments.

and

2nd I’m really not a very happy person. I am for show.(meaning I pretend to be happy in the presence of others. FYI, I’m pretty sure that is NOT the same as being fake). I just chose to sheild my family from the needles worry and/or stress.

For someone who has everything, great husband, great kids, great family, great job, great car, great house, great dog(you know I would never leave out mentioning my little chihuahua), and the list goes on and on. I wasn’t living life like someone who had nothing but good in her life.

Yes, I have had some speed bumps in life, but nothing horrific.

While I am no pesimist. I certainly wasn’t behaving like someone who exuberated peace and happiness.

In reading, all of these other posts, it made me really think.

Let me tell you, reading all these other posts was way cheaper than going to a freakin counsolor.

So I guess I really owe “Momalom” a big thanks. For having a part in the new “ME”.

In my future I want more peace in my life, more contentment, and lots more smiles.

So look out everyone for a new and improved better ME!

Chips, Dips, and Whips

XXX- Lust

So I had this blow your mind dream the other night. Now this was no ordinary dream. Would you be surprised to know that it was a very sexual one? Of course you wouldn’t.


This dream was so intense. Almost like I was really there, if you know what I mean.

Wink Wink

As a norm I don’t dream much or at least I don’t remember what I dreamed. However, this time I did and let me just say it was soooo worth remembering.

So here I am with these two guys. (I know, can you freakin believe it 2 guys) I have never been in a three some before .

Not a huge surprise that these two hot looking guys are from my past .(HS) What the hell is up with that??? my past keeps creeping up on me.

So here we were just sitting back all of us nude and we were smoking some weed. Of course in this dream I have my kick ass H.S. body, not my current 40 something body.

Always gotta love those kinds of dreams. That is why it’s called a dream right. I can have anything my heart desires. Like being a rock star in bed or like having two men lusting over me.

I won’t give you details, since it would have a rating of XXX. Some things are better left to my own little private memory.

Now, I now what your thinking how can I be unfaithful and have a dream about other men when I have my hot sportsman.

Well I’m not sure, but I think that our recent issues/problems/fights has caused me to question my sexual attractiveness. I am after all 5 years older than my sportsman.

So I think it's only normal that I am having dreams where someone, well two someone’s are really into ME.

Who doesn’t need an ego boost now and again? I think most moms at some point like to feel like they still got “IT”. Not that any would actually act on it. It’s just nice to feel sexy once in awhile.

So have you ever lusted after someone? Someone you knew or someone completely unobtainable?
