Remembering to write

I just passed the 400th post mark for this blog last week.  It happened with no fanfare.  I didn't even realize it until today.

In honor of my writing and because I have posted for over 50 days in a row, I am going to put a spot light on some of my past posts that stand out to me (page views, comments, content, title, whatever).

Possibly the worst invention ever - Seriously!?! Who's idea was this and why do they still exist?

All-star game and meth issues - Because I don't love baseball like everyone else does.  Read what I would rather do than even think of going to a game.

Six Items or Less - No undies don't count:  I took part in the experiment of wearing only six items of clothing for an entire month.  It was truly great - liberating.  I wear more than six items now, but still find that they all basically look the same.

Basically effective - In part because of the 6IOL, I began getting rid of a lot of clothing.  That led to me simplifying my life in other ways.  Again, liberating.

Even Niecy has never seen such foolishness - If you have seen Messiest Home in America with Niecy Nash (I think Vanessa from the Cosby Show took over) you know that these people have a hard time getting rid of items.  The images of their homes are shocking.

Used sanitary napkins - come on! - Just disgusting.  Another messy home.

Wordless Wednesday: Beautiful images of women/girls - After all that nastiness it is great to look at awesome art.

Wordless Wednesday: Bras - Just because the pictures are funny.

Human Rights Art - Not all art is just to be viewed.  Some of it has messages.

After all my logic and my theory I add a... - There is no way this city should be in this top 10 list.  Even have a shout out to Lauryn Hill at the end and in the title of the post.

More than a pain in the neck - This surgery was just another ailment that I have had to deal with of late.  Fortunately it worked out and is healing well.

Courting, colours, cafeterias, and cotton - Looking at different issues of race and my past with such topics.

Worry less and feel good anyway - This is my goal for this year.

I've written a lot and hope that I am getting better as I focus on writing more often.  Congrats to me for 400+ posts.  Here's to continued writing and more consistency even after this NaBloPoMo is finished.

Even Niecy has never seen such foolishness

If you have never seen the show Clean House, this is the time to start watching. They just showed the Messiest House in America. I saw Niecy actually begin to get angry. I thought she was going to get hood on them. I thought she was ready to grab the man's cane and smack the husband.

I am speechless. I am not sure whether to laugh or to cry or to just drive where ever these two people are and smack them in the head about 16 times or force some Pine Sol into their hands along with a sponge.

This house was beyond clutter, beyond dirty. A sample picture is here (I believe this was the kitchen, but you can also see a slide show here of their house -- before and after.

These people had no inch of space that was not full of clutter. There were rotten eggs, supremely dirty dishes, boxes, some kind of fly collecting contraption, animal hair, and just more dirt and grime than I can imagine or describe. The walls were full of grime, the door borders -- gross. Even their toilet was atrocious. Atrocious. I have never seen anything like it.

And the woman had the nerve to say that she wants to bring a kid into the house. That really got me laughing out loud. If she even thought about adopting a child I would hope that child services would laugh in her face and tell her to move on to another vision.

The fact that they have the messiest home in the country competition is disturbing, but not as much as this show and this particular home.

You've got to watch this show. Style Channel - be warned if you have a light stomach.
