I’ve seen…

Posted on Thursday, July 24th, 2008 at 9:47 pm

Breeanah, Breanna, Breannah

Kheennan, Keenan, Keynnon

Qaadezia, Kahadecia, Kadezah

D’Shaaun, D’sean, Dayshawn

Brittany, Britany, Brittony

To name but a few stupid spelling of non traditional names. Some of the spellings are mistakes because the parents are clueless, and some of the spellings made purposely in an attempt to be “different’.

NEWS FLASH - it’s not different, it’s just plain stupid!

While I’m ranting, I’d also like to mention I hate kids who have nicknames as real names too. Kate is short for Katherine or Kathleen, Matt is short for Matthew , Tom is short for Thomas - you don’t put nicknames down on the birth certificate - eyeroll

I could go on paragraph after paragraph with stupid names given to children who are unfortunate enough to have celebrities as parents but I’ll just give a few - for a laugh:

Demi Moore and Bruce Willis are the parents of Rumer Glenn, Scout LaRue and Tallulah Belle. Sylvester Stallone has a Sage Moonblood and Sistine Rose - seriously, wtf was he on? Michael Hutchence named his daughter Heavenly Hiraani Tiger Lily - now there’s a wacko in the making.

BUT, the creme de la cream of idiotic names, and stupid ass parents has to go to the nutmegs in New Zealand

wait for it:

“Talula Does The Hula From Hawaii”

I kid you not!

No it’s not just ‘Talula’ it really is (or should I say was, until a judge stepped in) “Talula Does The Hula From Hawaii”

There should be a book at the hospital filled with socially acceptable approved names, and I would do the approving.

Everyone in favor say AYE!

Honestly, I’m starting to regret my choice of ‘Conor’ - I’m wishing I went with something plain like ‘John’, Stephen, or David.

Where are the days going?

It’s not that I have nothing to say, it’s just I either have no time to say it, or I’m to tired to plonk myself down in front of the pc and type.

Camp is exhausting, 60 kids per day to entertain is taking it’s toll. Coming up with new ideas is frying my brain, fixing stuff that breaks is aggravating, and constantly having to raise my voice to be heard is time consuming.

I can’t say I want camp to be over because then school starts, and that’s more organised - goals have to be met, and finances dwindle because of tuition.

Yes, I do love my job, but this summer I’m just so tired. Maybe I should just quit playing double-dutch with the seniors, forget trying to play hacky sack with the cits and do the less strenuous - sit at my pc desk and give directions.

8am and 82°

Feels like 90°!

Not a good way to start the day when one is trying not to use the AC in an attempt to seriously reduce the electric bill.

Between sky rocketing food prices, gas for my car, something has got to give.

New hairdo - Pixified

Again! Every time I go it gets shorter and shorter. Not the best pic, but you try holding a huge camera with one hand, fitted with a lens that doesn’t like low light and refuses to focus.

That’s an “omfg focus already” look not a “come hither”

And now we have ebay

I almost clicked without taking out that bloody check mark. I’m telling ya, you have to be alert these days. Making sure you don’t get crap is a full time job.

Shockwave update beware!

Not sure why I put this in the ‘wtf!’ category, because ‘wtf’ implies I’m shocked, and I’m not because it’s become the norm with software companies.

Remember how apple was pushing safari through their quicktime updater and before that the flash updater had the ‘install yahoo toolbar’ already checked in their updater?

Well now Adobe is doing it - and the box is already checked so unless you catch it, guess what gets installed along with the update.

Thankfully the firewall kept popping up and it was annoying my little one, so he called me and I was able to uncheck the ‘norton crap’ before continuing the update.

I would have been ready for the looney bin had norton attached itself to my pc.
