Brown @ MindSay 
red
First let me get this out of the way real fast: You don't like what I have to say or blog about, don't fucking bother coming to my blog cause this one is going to be harsh hitting on anyone who torked me off in the last 24 hours till this morning.
Second, if your an idiot, greedy, selfish, dumbass, and dont' like what I have to say too fucking bad! The truth hurts! Just ask my hubby!
Third, if you talk smack about my sister (clan sister), remember, I may not live in her area of the US and she may not be bitching about anything, BUT I always find out and you best be running scared because once I get my bills settled up I will come for a visit and YOU won't like me!
Okay, can ANYONE explain why everyone thinks stay home mom's don't have shit to do? Seriously? I took a couple of days away from the house and folks tried bitchign to me about it. I wasn't HOME! GET OVER IT! I baby sat my girl Tab's baby to give her old man a break. Men can't handle staying home like women. Women usually snap after at least a year maybe two, every man i know that stays home with their kids or single dad snap with in the first 3-6 months and needs a break. Wusses!
Anyway, my hosue is slowly but surely getting back to the way it was before my surgery. I still have to paint the ceiling in my kitchen, finish priming my hallway, move the coffee table and one end table up to my bedroom to make room in my house for thanksgiving and do you think I get any help? NO! This is on top of running the kids here and there. They have been pills lately because their dad has been gone so they got themselves grounded from taekowndo this week. No skin off MY back. I have gotten a lovely week home in the evenings minus last night because they had CCD class.
I am trying to get ready for winter and dealign with issues with the propane company. Fucking new ppl in the office best get informed how their accounts are run otherwise I'll take my 600-1000 dollar a year business to your competetor! Threatening lil girls fresh out of highschool or in college doens't float my boat but fuck with my heat for this winter I'll tear ya a knew one! I am getting my tank filled either today or tomorrow.
Then Randy. Don't get me started ON RANDY. Why are men such idiots! The dipshit hasn't been home in two weeks, knows I am in a bad need of a break, the kids and I both miss him, and we have to finish up wintirizing the house before it actually gets cold enough where I have to turn the furnace on! And what does that DIPSHIT with no common sense do to set me off last night and this morning? LET ME TELL YOU!
The actual foreman on the job is also a farmer. And his wife does the majority of the work and they hire in some help for planting and harvesting. Randy is tech in charge of the project because the "farmer" doens't want to be a foreman just an electricition and Randy is doing all his work plus the farmers! Is it MY problem or Randy's problem that Farmer Brown is a sucky ass electriction or a sucky ass farmer? NO! So what does my shitty ass hubby agree to do for Farmer Brown who can't run a farm and can't control workers for the project and pawns it off on Randy? Randy agrees to forgo one of his days off so dumb ass Farmer Brown can get back to the home area and help with harvesting! WITHOUT TALKING TO ME! WITH OUT ASKING ME IF IT WAS OKAY! And wonders why I WENT THE FARK OFF ON HIS SCRAWNY WHITE ASS! Randy realized after I said dont' bother coming home for one fucking day, thinking I am going to cook for you, clean for you, do your laundry and have you say your too fucking tired to do anythign around this house or with your kids and your wife and then ahve you turn around and run to the job office and shop for your work! STAY THE FUCK AT THE DAYUM HOTEL IF YOU CAN'T LEARN TO PUT YOUR FAMILY BEFORE SOMEONE ELSE OR YOUR JOB! IT IS NOT MY FAULT FARMER BROWN IS A PART TIME FARMER AND A PART TIME ELECTRION AND IF HIS FARM GOES UNDER NOT MY PROBLEM! HIS WIFE CAN CALL IN HIS GROWN ASS KIDS TO HELP OUT THEY ALL LIVE INT HE AREA! YOU MY DUMB ASS HUBBY HAVE SMALL CHILDREN AT HOME AND A WIFE THAT WON'T PUT UP WITH STUPID ASS BULLCRAP!
Then dipshit thought he would get away with negoiating tomorrow off and coming home tonight, going to IA for a night and taking Sunday off. HOw the hell is he suppose to take time for his kids when they are in school the full fucking day tomorrow? That is a man's reasoning right htere! He finally got wise to the fact if I even heard his voice this morning he was going to get an earful and I told him he best figure something out to take a full two days off with OUT going up to the shop on one of them to get equipment or he can stay the fuck away from me, file divorce, and have me up at his job office raising some massive hell about how if Farmer Brown takes away from my family one more time that I will file a labor board complant over the hours Randy puts in! And if he didn't want to be home with us just tell us because I don't need him. I will have the majority of his check for child support and at least 9 years of alimony plus NE has a lil by law in divorce that non custiodal spouse has to pay 1/3 of the day care while custiodal parent is at work if one should push for it and you all know I would; all on top of alimony and child support!
So we went from the phone to im's so I could yell at him in CAPS . The man wisely told Farmer Brown that if he didn't take a full two days off that he would be a 2 timed divorced broken and beaten man and that if they couldn't get the owner to come down Monday to cover for Farmer Brown that Farmer Brown couldn't go home to harvest. I got a call from the owner of Randy's company in charge of this project informing me he would be down at the job site on Monday to cover for Farmer Brown and that Randy will have TWO FULL DAYS off. I informed owner he best get his shit together because I am getting down right onery and if I have to I will sue the company for emotional, mental, and physical strain on my children and myself for having their dad gone for over 7 months when he was orginally hired for "occasional travel". Owner went SHIT and said we will get him home soon I promise! I told him don't make me any promises you can't keep son cause I'll take the food right out of your babies mouth to prove mypoint to you and yours about taking time and money from me and mine!
While Randy and I were negoiating okay me telling him what days he will be home the rest of the month minus his normal days off, I got a pm checking on me from serveral of my clan members and some really good friends.............for ms dipshit talk crap about my sister and any of her body parts again when you can't even take care of your own biz concernign your family, you will find out why I am rarely called in to handle anything with the tuatha! I am fucking mean, don't put up with bullshit, and tell you the fucking truth about how you are acting and I dont' give a RATS FUCKING ASS WHO YOU ARE IN THE TUATHA! And I hold grudges for a LONG TIME and even if I ease up on maybe letting the offense go, I DON'T FORGET AND YOU GET PUT UNDER MY MICROSCOPE FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIFE IN THE TUATHA! You all think my brother is a bad ass, but remember my brother is my baby brother and if you piss him or my sister off, hurt them with words or actions, or are an idiot to even think of going after my baby girl in any form with your jelousy, greed, and your lack of self esteem YOU GET TO DEAL WITH ME!
The only folks that have been on my good side last night and this morning so far are; my kids, my folks, and my girl tab and her man joe. They don't have a phone to get a hold of me and I promised them to borrow my vaccum today and give them a tub of burger to get by till next pay day because Tab had to get her gas turned back on due to the weather turning colder! I have no way of getting a hold of them to tellt hem I will be in later instead of first thing in the morning and they aren't calling and bitching nor are they worried about me not doing what I said I would do.
I am feeling pissy, depressed, frustrated, hurt, and down right mean today. Mind your manners or leave me the fuck alone!
Okay, I have a burning question that I hope somebody in my Mindsay family can answer for me!
When people go on these televised court shows like Judge Judy, Mathis, Joe Brown, Alex...etc....HOW DO THEY GET PAID for what they win in court.
Yes, I know this isn't real court but it is an arbitration with winners and losers. So, if the defendants didn't have the money to pay in the first place, how are the winners getting paid? You never see anyone come back saying that they weren't paid what they "won" on the court show, so how does it work?
PLEASE TELL ME!
(and please vote for this particular blog so that it can get enough exposure to get the right answer, please! I've seen the little "funds" announcement at the end of People's Court, but i still don't understand it!)
In advance, I thank you!
So, tonight was just that.
Again this wasn't intended to be a public entry but I feel it may serve me a purpose in time to come.
Tonight I saw Derren Brown perform live at the Sheffield Ciry Hall.
For those of you unfamiliar with the name, or those who feel you have heard it but don't know where... Derren hit it big back in 1999 when he was asked by Channel 4 to put a show together for TV. As a result, 'Derren Brown: Mind Control' hit our screens in December of 2000. With it's immediate success he was commisioned to produce further programs for the channel and these have since included:
Derren Brown: Mind Control 2 (August 2001)
Derren Brown: Mind Control 3 (2003)
Derren Brown: Inside Your Mind (Oct. 2003)
Trick of the Mind (April 2004)
Seance (May 2004)
Derren Brown: Messiah (January 2005)
Trick of the Mind 2 (April 2005)
and more recently Trick or Treat shown over the last 2 months at 9pm on Channel 4.
Each of these series' showed Derren performing what he calls a mix between psychology, illusion, magic, mind control and showmanship'. At no point does Derren ever claim to be a psychic or have the ability to read people's minds directly, only through their subconcious impulses. He has also had a number of celebrity guests request to take part in his performances which were included in the 'Trick of the Mind' series', these included; Matt Lucas; Robbie Williams; Russel Brand; Madonna and Stephen Fry.
Some of you may also recognise Brown from his one-off but hugely successful shows on Channel 4 such as:
'Derren Brown plays Russian Roulette - Live' and the fantastic 'Derren Brown; The Gathering'.
Channel 4 were hugely impressed by Derren's talent as a performer since his initial broadcast way back in the early 00ies, right until the finale of his latest series in May 2007. As such, Brown felt a place to broadcast his talents without the restraints of a television camera.
Afterall, it is easy to dismiss his 'Mind reading' abilities, or psychological analogies through simply watching the man on telly. As such, Derren launche 2 nation-wide tours, the second of which being ''Derren Brown: An Evening of Wonders', tickets were on sale for £21.50 or I believe it was £18.50 for the stall seats. May I say, it was worth every PENNY!.
If you see him on TV and think 'who says they aren't all actors?', get yourself off to a live show! To prove there arent any actors used on stage, Derren thrown an object (in this case it was a frisbee) into the audience and the person(s) who catches it are asked to throw it again randomly and that person is then selected to come up on stage.
The things included in the show (lasting around 2 hours, excluding the 20-minute interval) were truly brilliant, but yet completely unfathomable. Derren is always careful not to give the methods behind the wonder, to keep the audience thinking for several days. One such case was being able to determine a lady's age, starsign, DAY of birth and even full address with only seeing her face and listening to her voice...
Another feature of the show is being able to determine what 2x 3-digit numbers a random audience member's telephone contact will choose when telephoned and asked to select 2 lots of three numbers, in the end the man got all 6 digits as Derren had predicted and her daughter (the owner of the telephone) got to keep the money.
While there are MANY other fascinating parts to the show, there are just tooooo many to explain, yet it will be something I will never forget.
So, next time Derren Brown is in tour in your area, you have some money spare and have always been a fan of his TV shows but dismissed them as fake or otherwise GO SEE HIS SHOW, I kid you not it was worth every penny and AMAZINGLY real and often scary at parts, in fact I noticed 2 women had passed out just outside the hall due to Derren's spot-on accuracy at 'reading' knowledge only the owner should know.
A fantastic night out, recommended to anyone (I believe there should be a 12 age limit but there were kids in there - Derren does swear occasionally and used reference such as 'wanking' and other shiz.)
He is a very clever man, banned from 90% of America's casino's for his amazing memory and body-language skills. In Trick of the Mind we see Derren persuading a cashier at a dog-track that a bet he placed on the highest-odds dog (obviously not winning) is actually a winner, paying out hundreds to him on odds which are MUCH higher than that of the winning dog.
And likewise, on his visit to America we see Brown using simple sheets of PAPER, cut to size in order to pay for things such a jewellery, hot-dogs and other stuff. Whether or not Derren explains himself afterwards, I dont know.
Taken from Derren Brown: An Evening of Wonders Programme - 'Those of you who have watched him on TV, or seen his extraordinary live shows or read his book, will know that Derren Brown is an astonishing, mesmerising, and utterly baffling talent. His brand of psychological illusion fuses elements of magic, suggestion, psychology, misdirection and showmanship. Whether he appears to be reading people's minds, contacting the dead, guessing people's dreams, or telling them their detailed medical history just by looking at them, the results seem to defy logic.'
'Yet, what's refreshing about Brown is his open and honest approach to what he does. He cheerfully admits he can't read people's minds, or commune with the afterlife - his sill is to make it look like he can'...
See this guy sometime.

Matt likes blue... navy blue. His school colors are navy blue and gold. When we painted his room a couple of years ago, we painted it blue, and he asked for a navy blue bedspread or comforter with a gold dust ruffle. I have searched in stores, online, and every place I can think of, but blue is not currently deemed a fashionable color and there is nothing that fits his requirements.
Why are people such slaves to fashion? Who dreams up what colors are fashionable? The current hot color in women's clothing is brown. My mother liked brown, she looked good in brown, and she often bought me clothes in brown or its various shades. But I do not like brown or look good in it. In fact I looked sickly pale and depressed when I put it close to my face. The brown neutrals have been in fashion for so long that my purples, pinks, and navys are literally wearing thin, and I am in need of replacements. But what can I find? Shades of orange, dull greens, beige, and, oh yes, brown. Noooooo!
The cycle of these colors has gone on long enough. Won't someone please bring back classic navy?
