Funny shit about people in New England
My cousin had this on his blog and I just had to post it too...too funny!! Thanks, C!
If you dont live in new england you probally will not get it. Enjoy!
Forget Rednecks ..here is what Jeff Foxworthy has to say about NewEnglanders...
If you consider it a sport to gather your food by drilling through 36inches of ice and sitting there all day hoping it will swim by, you might live in New England.
If you're proud that your region makes the national news 96 nights each year because Mt. Washington is the coldest spot in the nation, and Boston gets more snow than any other major city in the US, you live inNew England.
If your local Dairy Queen is closed from September through May, you live in New England.
If you instinctively walk like a penguin for six months out of the year, you live in New England.
If someone in a Home Depot store offers you assistance and they don'twork there, you live in New England.
If you've worn shorts and a parka at the same time, you live in NewEngland.
If you've had a lengthy telephone conversation with someone who dialed a wrong number, you live in New England.
And, you know you are a New Englander when: "Vacation" means going anywhere south of New York City for the weekend.
You measure distance in hours.
You know several people who have hit a deer more than once.
You have switched from "heat" to "A/C" in the same day and back again.
You can drive 65 mph through 2 feet of snow during a raging blizzard without flinching.
You install security lights on your house and garage, but leave both unlocked.
You carry jumpers in your car and your girlfriend/wife knows how to use them.
You design your kid's Halloween costume to fit over a snowsuit.
The speed limit on the highway is 55 mph -- you're going 80 and everybody is passing you!
Driving is better in the winter because the potholes are filled with snow.
You know all 4 seasons: almost winter, winter, still winter, and road construction.
Your 4th of July picnic was moved indoors due to frost.
You have more miles on your snow blower than your car.
You find 10 degrees "a little chilly."

A Song For Tonight
I'm learning a new song right now. For those of you who don't know me very well...singing is my biggest passion. I do it for me and in no public arena and it is the most satisfying feeling to belt out the words of a kick ass fast song or a heart wrenching ballad depending on my mood. Being a person who keeps her emotions often reeled in and is the queen of control...it's my way of letting go. It's the one way, I can let go...let go all the way. I get to experience the emotions by singing it even if it is not something I've ever been through. I guess the way an actor feels a character they portray. There have been many times when I have been depressed or angry and really the best friend for me to turn to is my microphone. An hour or so of pouring all of me into a set of songs and I'm a new person.
Tonight's song is "Lay Down My Life" by the timeless queen of written song, Carole King. Have you heard this song? The version I'm immersed in is just Carole and her piano. The power and emotion she packs into this love song left me speechless the first time I heard it. I had the pleasure of hearing this song for the first time LIVE at the Greek Theater during her Living Room tour in 2004. Every time I listen to it since that night, the power and emotion of that performance and the song's meaning hit me. Tonight I decided that I need to add it to my personal singing set.
It's a raw depiction of a love, a love that feels so right though it is wrong. It is amazing when love can exist so strong and cause people to have no control over their hearts sometimes against the odds. Just sharing a love like that binds them together forever from the experience even if they never see each other again. Think about that, love can be that powerful. Singing the song makes me feel immersed in the power of that kind of love, a love that knows no limits, no bounds, just is. No matter what.
