Dolly Parton @ MindSay 
But.
I couldn't help noticing that Dolly has had her faced pulled and yanked so much that she has started to look like a certain deranged clown prince of crime.
1 - STAIRWAY TO HEAVEN by Dolly Parton (Originally by Led Zeppelin)
2 - BABY GOT BACK by Jonathan Coulton (Originally by Sir Mix-A-Lot)
3 - HAZY SHADE OF WINTER by The Bangles (Originally by Simon & Garfunkel)
4 - NOTHING COMPARES 2 U by Sinead O'Conner (Originally by Prince)
5 - SHOWROOM DUMMIES by Senor Coconut (Originally by Kraftwerk)
6 - SMOOTH CRIMINAL by Alien Ant Farm (Originally by Michael Jackson)
7 - PERSONAL JESUS by Johnny Cash (Originally by Depeche Mode)
8 - AGAINST ALL ODDS by The Postal Service (Originally by Phil Collins)
9 - EASY (LIKE SUNDAY MORNING) by Faith No More (Originally by The Commodores)
10 - TAINTED LOVE by Soft Cell (Originally by Gloria Jones)
Some of these choices are kinda
as far as I'm concerned. What is so special about Faith No More's version of Easy? Coulton's Baby got Back is novel but not something that should top any lists. I don't care who is is singing Showroom Dummies because that song sucks ass.
And I'd have picked Johnny Cash's version of HURT above his version of Personal Jesus.
The Post does get props on recognizing the greatness of Dolly Parton's Stairway. She killed that song in the best way possible.
I've always hated my hair ..... always .... it is very fine and has a mind of it's own. Some of it has body .... some of it doesn't .... some of it is "trainable" ..... some of it isn't. And I have done battle with my hair for way to many years now. So since I've moved here seven years ago with long hair (I truly hate my hair long .... with a passion) I have been trying to get it cut. Now I have to put major emphasis on the word trying ..... because the folks here in this valley and surrounding area seem to think I don't need short hair. Every time I have gone in to get my hair chopped off ..... I've left with my hair in tact. Usually pissed for letting myself be talked into leaving it alone instead of cutting it. It always looks nice .... but requires more than a 1/2 second of my time to deal with ..... which does not set well with me. That 1/2 second could be well spent somewhere outdoors .... in the garden or something. And I'm beyond serious here.
So last year upon the completion of my convertable Midget it became really obvious that if I didn't cut my hair off it would drive me ultimately crazy. So I picked someone I had never been to before in the valley and walked in and said cut it off ..... no discussion ..... just cut it off. And she did. It was wonderful. I had little hair at all and could literally towel it off after the shower and walk away without so much as touching it wit a comb. IT WAS AWESOME !!!!! It shocked the shit out of folks at first .... Dave especially (he really dispises short hair) but most really liked it short and realized with my job at the time (waitressing) it was more sensible than pulled back tight in an ugly ass ponytail. I looked like a freaking peeled onion .... it was not flattering at all.
So then I lose the job at the restaurant (I quit, I was fired ..... depends on who you talk to .... it was mutual) and a major source of income and once again cutting my hair takes a back seat to other things more important where money is concerned. Hair grows out ..... and is looking pretty bad. So for Christmas ..... I tell mom I want my hair cut ..... she is happy to help tired of hearing me bitch constantly about how uncomfortable I am with my hair in my face tickling my nose and all other bitches and gripes I could come up with regarding my hair. I make the appointment with the same girl .... knowing she will chop my hair as I ask .... without any talking me out of it. Or so I thought .....
Seems that my friend M. is very good friends with the hairdresser. And had gotten hold of her when she found out I was cutting my hair to ask her to talk me out of it ..... and M. showed up the day of my appointment and they both started in on how I shouldn't cut off my hair ..... yada yada yada ..... and I listened ...... for some stupid reason .... I let myself be talked into .... well, what it is today ..... and I HATE IT! That is putting it mildly. Unless I spend 10 minutes or more blow drying and shaping it tends to just go where ever it damn well pleases .... flipping here, curling under there ..... and totally pissing me off. I get angry every day ..... over my flipping hair. Stupid huh?
So ..... here I am today pissy over my hair ..... once again and wanting off my head ..... off .... off ..... off !!! I told M. that I was going to call and get another appointment to get it done right and she called ahead of me and told the hairdresser UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES ..... CUT MY HAIR. So I just got angry with the hairdresser .... told her I would freaking drive to Oregon to get my hair cut. It's my only option .... period.
Probably one of the very first pic's I ever put in here of me. The hair had actually grown out some here ... but you can get the picture ..... no pun intended .....
Poor pic .... but the hair today .... probably just a tad longer now .... it will stay behind my ears.
Me with the god awful long hair pulled back tight .... yuck .... !
And finally ..... me as Dolly Parton ..... LOL ..... I'm on the right just in case you couldn't tell. The lady on the left is my boss from the restaurant. It was rodeo parade day ..... and we were in it .....
And finally us on the parade route ..... it was my car's break out apperance ..... I'd only driven it once prior to this day ..... she performed like a champ. So did we ...... LOL .....
Ok .... but seriously folks ...... my hair ..... it's got to go ..... asap ..... like now .... like soon .... before I go crazy ...... I'm done now .....
Peace. J.
Here is my story... Today is game day so I have my Miami Hurricanes gear on. I was out running some errands and as I was leaving the grocery store when I see a guy walking in wearing nothing but Auburn attire. He started the conversation by asking me who we play today. I told him North Carolina. We chatted for a bit and then said our goodbyes and good lucks and walked away.
Stuff like that did not happen when I lived in Miami. Mostly speaking, we have a lot of nice, cordial folks that live here in Eas Tennessee. I can't speak for other places in the country but I am reminded of a Dolly Parton song when she sang about friendly people here and other folks don't look at you funny when you strike up a conversation with them.
Just something that I like about living in East Tennesee.
#5 - Jennifer Garner almost taking a spill as she walked out to present an award
This would have ranked higher if she actually hit the deck.
#4 - Lauren Bacall going through the early stages of alzheimer's while trying to read off the teleprompter
It was sad but fascinating like watching a train wreck. Bacall does look pretty good for being older than the steam engine though.
#3 - The Swiftboating of the Best Actress nominees
Especially liked the Dame Judi Dench part.
#2 - Dolly Parton's hillbilly hoedown performance
The big jugs, the southern twang, the face like The Joker...Dolly is a national treasure.
And the winner of the night:
#1 - Three 6 Mafia's performance and acceptance speech
Everything about this was just too surreal. From the Bob Fosse influenced pimps&hoes dance number to Taraji Henson singing so awfully in her junior high prom dress to the fact that the lead pimp dancer was played by the guy from Breakin' 2: Electric Boogaloo...it was a masterpiece of nonsense. And then they gave an acceptance speech like they were at the SOURCE Awards instead of the Oscars.
