i really wasnt gunna acknowledge today at all but then i saw this:



i would accept this valentine. happy valentines day to all whom it applies.

ive been thinking about kindergarten a lot lately and how great my teacher was. she did all these cools things to make us tiny babes believe that the world was a magical place, where leprechauns gave you gum drops on st patricks day. she had me fooled my stuffed animals had human emotions and appreciated the games i played with them. she also had me convinced i was special. she also died from cancer. wtf.

check out this kindergarten though. so cool!!:



and watch the video here:

if i get the cancer, im going to that school and giving them some leprechaun gum drops. even though they look like they probably dont need any more magic you know, with a tree growing inside their school and all.

oh my dog:



this works for me on all kinds of next levels. woooooohooooo. damn.

groundhogs day is probably my favorite DAY, not holiday. fav holiday is reserved for thanksgiving. groudhogs is a really adorable idea. its on 2/2 which is the best and luckiest date of all time for me seeing how i love 222 etc blah blah blah blah. any mother fucking wayss, so yeah what better day for me to party on.

last night was great. i went to target and michaels and bought t's and puffy paint to make some groundhog day shirts to wear to the party, since i am a total fuggin goon. everyone was kind enough to humor me and participate in 90's craft hour and our shirts turned out pretty great. except for deb who was being sooo selfish with her MIGRAINE. i swear she is so selfish... poor kiddo :(

shirts:


this is mine close up:



someone actually said to me last night , "people would buy that!" about my shirt. i wanted to reply with, "i know. people are fucking retarded."

so yeah the party was super fun and involved me becky and noel participating in a puppet show. i am a drunk tard and forgot to bring my camera so sadly there are no pictures. we ran out of crap to talk about so i started singing im a believer. pretty sure we covered most of the song with becky doing backup and noel making instrument sounds. i think thats how it went. yeah.. beckys friends are really nice and fun.

since i forgot my camera i took a million pictures when i got home. here are some:

this is becky and i looking sooooo pretty:



and this is noel talking to his boyfriend paul while simultaneously drinking some nasty effing haterade:



srsly. groundhog day is so cool.

im glad i have cool friends that find cool things on the internet. meet francine dancer. i dont think she needs much of an introduction:











i really just have nothing to say about it other than damn dude, lady has done some hard fugglin drugs. also id like to meet steven beacon. she needs to go on tour.

jimmy sent me a link to this kid. take the advice he gave to me and watch it til the very very end:



best ending ever. i really like his piano key teeth. id like to stick stuff between them, like marbles or hot wheels.
