I LIVE and 5 favorites

It has been a really ( that needs to be underlined more than once for the mere understatement) long time since my last post, and for my few readers I apologize.  For the past few months I have been traveling up too Chicago and seeing a team of doctors as I went through tests, pokes, scans and will now become the worlds next superhero with the amount of radiation that is on my body. You can submit awesome name, what you think my powers will be power and costume idea's below.

Good news is I have answers for almost everything now.  I also found out how truly awesome and special my body is with doing the whole Darwin thing and trying to adapt to what is going on.  I may be only about one in 200 people for what I have but my body would not take that and decided to try adapt, improvise, and attempt to overcome.  The outlook is a surgery to fix an issue with my kidney aneurysm within the next coming month or two, and than monitor, the remaining issue with my kidney and aortic artery.  The coming surgery will not put me out of the woods completely but it will make me less high risk.

 And now with that update let's get the the real reason I blog, to be funny, and to share my current likes, and so I give to you my current 5 favorites.

1.  T Swifts new song.  I went through the " I WILL NOT LISTEN TO IT!!" stage and than finally did once another fellow blogger shared it.  She made me laugh and smile.  You go T Swift.

2.

ALS is a horrid disease and if you have facebook you have seen the ice bucket challenge all over it.  My main issue with the it was the worry of it becoming just another fad, and people not donating money and just doing the challenge to say they did it.  A few days ago I saw Anthony's video and was moved.  He is 26 and has ALS.  All my health issues are scary but not ALS scary and he is so brave for making the video that he did.  I urge you to watch the whole thing and if you have not already give to the ALS foundation or even his personal fund page.

I am sorry if I made your cry.... Baby Groot will make it better....

4.

Buzzfeed has a wealth of videos where both America's and their oversea's counterparts try foreign food.  This one is one of my favorites.

5.

This also makes me laugh every time, mostly because I feel like I am watching myself on camera, and timers are for cowards.  I also now have Pizza and wine night...

Hope you are all having an great weekend and don't forget to be awesome. 

7 Quick Takes

1.  I have been struggling for the past month and a half to find a book I can get into.  I tried new/ old popular books, past books I loved, and even books recommended by friends.  Nothing was catching my attention and as an avid reader and lover of book I was becoming frustrated.  Then Amazon emailed my saying several books on my wish list were on sale so I bought.... 

Ender's Game is one of those books on the read before it becomes a movie list, and about 10 chapters in it has yet to disappointed.

2.  Movie gift card it toll I ventured to the movie theatre last week to see the Wolverine 3.  It had just come out and had decent rating and to top it off I'm a huge Marvel fan.  I did not have the high hopes however because some of the past Wolverine movies were not that good and it had ninjas.  Not bashing Ninjas but I have never been a huge fan of that genera of movies.  Wolverine however was AWESOME.  Decent story line, awesome action, a ripped Hugh Jackman, and a kick ass strong female character.  I recommend it to anyone who is looking for a good fun action movie.  

Oh and I highly encourage one to stay till the middle of the credits, you will not be disappointed and may geek out like I did...

3.  Walking Dead fans mark your calendars!  The awesome show returns October 13th.  The trailer for season 4 was released earlier this month and I have watch it many of times since then.  It is going to be an awesome season, where Rick and the gang continue to "Fight the dead, fear the living."  

*fair warning the trailer does have big spoilers if you have not finished the 3rd season*

p.s. 72 days to go....

4.  Summer around Macomb with almost everyone gone is lonely.  I am highly thankful for those that are in town butI am looking forward to many of these wonderful people in this picture coming back.  

5. Youtube has educational stuff??  Why yes, yes it does thanks to Hank Green brother of John Green who is a well know author.  Hank is into all things science and has the SciShow on Youtube which I highly enjoy.  A branch of of SciShow is SciShow Talk  where you learn about animals and have a guest of the animal type visit.  This is my favorite video (because of the space creature  animal) but I highly recommed watching all of them because all of the animals on the show are really really cool. 

6.  The fact that I finally learned how to do this: (not the dance)

Post I read adding animation to blogger said two things. 1.  It was not possible or  2.  In order to add a GIF you needed to write your own code.  Both of which are not true and adding one is super easy... 

7.  The Show Gator Boys kicked off last week (finally).  It is one of the few show I watch on TV and I love it.  It is educational but has just the right amount of it humor in it.  Also I feel it sets itself apart for other Gator show because they DO NOT kill the animals.  They relocate them mostly by taken them to their park.  Gator Boy is on Animal Planet on Sundays at 9pm.
