Ode to Jim: If You Don't Read This, Your Genitals Will Turn Gangrenous and Fall Off

WTF?! What is with people sending me horrible "Read this or everyone you love will die" chain emails?!
Jeebus! Some psycho has gotten my email address!
So, I open up my email this morning and this is what I find waiting in my in-box:

Read Alone..... Especially the Poem

The poem is very true, unfortunately.

Make sure you read the poem!

So I'm thinking... Interesting teaser. A little creepy, but ok...I'll read a little further. Then I come to this:

CASE 1: Kelly Sedey had one wish,
for her boyfriend of three years,
David Marsden, to propose to her.
Then one day when she was out
to lunch David proposed!
She accepted, but then had to leave
because she had a meeting in 20 min.
When she got to her office,
! ! (Loved the punctuative suspenseful build-up!)
she noticed on her computer she had some e-mail's.
She checked it, the usual stuff
from her friends, but then she saw one
that she had never gotten before.
It was this poem. She simply deleted it
without even reading all of it.
BIG MISTAKE! Later that evening,
she received a phone call from the
police. It was about DAVID! He had been in an accident
with an 18 wheeler. He didn't survive!

CASE 2: Take Katie Robinson. She received this poem
and being the believer that she was
she sent it to a few of her friends but
didn't have enough e-mail addresses to send out
the full 5 that you must.
Three days later, Katie went to a masquerade ball..
Later that night when she left to get to her car,
she was killed in that spot by a
hit-and-run drunk driver.

CASE 3: Richard S. Willis sent this poem out within 45 minutes of reading it.
Not even 4 hours later walking along the street
to his new job interview with a really big company!
when he ran into Cynthia Bell,
his secret love for 5 years. Cynthia came up to him
and told him of her passionate crush on him
that she had had for 2 years.
Three days later, he proposed to her and they got married.
Cynthia and Richard are still married
with three children, happy as ever!

Next thought... Whoa! Holy shit! A killer poem. I've GOT to read on.

This is the poem:
Around the corner I have a friend,
In this great city that has no end,

Yet the days go by and weeks rush on,
And before I know it, a year is gone.
And I never see my old friends face,

For life is a swift and terrible race,
He knows
I like him just as well,
As in the days when I rang his bell.
And he rang mine but we were younger then,
And now we are busy, tired men.
Tired of playing a foolish game,
Tired of trying to make a name.
'Tomorrow' I say! 'I will call on Jim

Just to show that I'm thinking of him.'

But tomorrow comes and tomorrow goes,
And distance between us grows and grows.
Around the corner, yet miles away,
'Here's a telegram sir,' 'Jim died today.'
And that's what we get and deserve in the end.
Around the corner, a vanished friend.
Remember to always say what you mean.
If you love someone, tell them.
Don't be afraid to express yourself.
Reach out and tell someone what they mean to you.
Because when you decide that it is the right time it might
be too late.
Seize the day. Never have regrets.
And most importantly, stay close to your friends and family, for they have helped
make you the person that you are today.

You must send this on in 3 hours after reading the letter
to 10 other people.
If you do this, you will receive unbelievably good luck.
*NOTE*
If you don't send this to at least 10 people, you and everyone you love will DIE horribly!

WTF? WTF? WTF?
Who the hell is Jim? And why is he a psycho poem killer?
What kind of karmic hell have I been thrust into where I have to choose between dying horribly for not passing on this retarded poem or having all my wildest dreams come true by subjecting at least 10 people to this literary monstrosity?!
Who is it that wants to tell me that they love me so much that they wish me DEAD...?
...
Oh yeah - it was my sister. Freaking psycho.
Talk about tainted love.
(Musical Interlude ~ I'll let you choose between The Clash and the Marilyn Manson version. I went with Marilyn. Yeah... I thought it was that skeevey)

So...
Hopefully at least 10 of you will read this little poem of doom in the next 3 hours. If you don't I may be dead by morning.
My blood will be on YOUR hands.

Your nothing-but-peace-and-love-wishing, but doomed-by-vengeful-chain-email friend,

Happy Birthday America....and ME!

Random fact: Shocking as this may be, I am sooooo special that the entire nation celebrates my birth with fireworks.
True story.
My mother told me so.
Though, I've recently discovered that she lies.
I've decided to feed my narcissism and have chosen to believe the lie.

But when you blow your fingers off with a crap-ton of fireworks, you can blame that one on America's birth, not mine. I don't have enough liability insurance to cover the class action lawsuit.

Another random fact: I've decided to stop aging at 32. I figure it's old enough to not look like a wet-behind-the-ears-little-shit in business, young enough to not look like an old fart to everyone else, and weird enough of an age that no one will think I'm lying.

I got a flat tire this morning and 2 nice police men came to "supervise" as I hauled the spare out of my trunk and tell me what I was doing wrong. As I was rolling around in the gravel on the shoulder of the road (with them standing over me watching...who says chivalry is dead?!), I grumbled something about it being a suck-ass way to start my birthday. The younger cop says with a smirk, "So I suppose you're 29 again?"
After I gave him the stink eye, I said, "No. I'm 32...again. Now hand me that tire iron."
A little advice, boys: Never imply that a woman is lying about her age. And never imply that a woman might be pregnant until you see the head crowning. Both will inevitably get you in trouble.

Ok...I'm off to mix alcohol and explosives. I've got a keg of Boulevard Wheat (if you haven't tried it, you should) on ice and a case of metal sparklers and duct tape to keep the boys busy. The ginormous sonic boom and mushroom cloud will be coming from my house - pay no attention.

Whatever Happened To The Good Old Fashioned Nervous Breakdown?!

Let me start by saying: If there is anyone who deserves a nervous breakdown moment, it's me!

Whatever happened to the bygone age when women were delicate little flowers to be nurtured and pampered because too much stress might put us into the throws of a good old fashioned nervous breakdown?
Seriously! You did not arrive in society - you were a nobody - unless you'd done at least a week's time in your bed overwrought with nerves.

The list of famous people from the '40's - '70's that suffered from nervous breakdowns reads like a who's who list of legends. Marilyn Monroe. Judy Garland. Lana Turner. Vivien Leigh. Agatha Christie.


I remember spending summers with my grandmother as a child. It was a rainy day. My brother and I had spent the afternoon cooped up in the "den" watching TV and bickering. When the bickering reached a particularly fevered pitch (and after several warnings), my grandmother appeared at the doorway looking harried and a bit wild with a glass of water in one hand and several little pills in the other. She wailed in a shaky, shrill voice, "Now look at what you kids made me do! You've made me have to take a nerve pill!!"
I was in awe. There was actually a pill that you could take to give you NERVE! Courage! Wow! If the Cowardly Lion had known about this magic pill, he NEVER would have had to make that terrible long journey to the Emerald City to visit The Wizard for courage - noive, as he called it.
I couldn't wait to tell my mother when she came to get us. We had to GET some of these Nerve Pills!
Strangely, after taking the Nerve Pills my grandmother spent the remainder of the afternoon napping in bed. When I told my mother about it, she said: "Yeah...she had to take nerve pills pretty much on a daily basis when we were kids. I think she got them when she dragged Uncle David behind the car that one time. Or maybe she drug him behind the car BECAUSE she had taken the nerve pills. I don't really remember. Anyway, it's no matter. She's been taking them for years."


So what I really want to know is: Where did I go wrong?! Or better yet, where did my mother go wrong?! (Always blame the mother, don't you know?!) Where did I get this steel magnolia resolve that is so anti-feminine in nature?

I deserve a fucking nervous breakdown, dammit!!!!!!! I've earned it!
Not a full-on complete and total committable breakdown, mind you. Just enough to earn me a little extra vacation time where everyone will leave me the hell alone. Actually, in retrospect, the committable nervous breakdown doesn't sound so bad.... Some mind altering drugs. A little reading time in bed. No responsibilities. Pajama day EVERY DAY!!
Hell, combined with my 3 weeks paid vacation, I could be on to something here.

Over and out for now.

<3,
Your irritatingly sane, but evil genius ~ Jane

Desperately Seeking Jane

This blog was really created to give me an outlet to say the things that are really on my mind - the things that would probably get me in trouble if I voiced them in my day-to-day life. A place where I can speak uncensored, be completely myself, and not worry about social eggshells. I've told very few people about my blog. And I'm always amazed when someone comes across it randomly. SiteMeter, the counter service that I use, has a handy little feature that tells me what search terms people have used to arrive at my blog. I find it fascinating (and usually amusing) to see what search strings have lead people who do not know me to my little slice of the internet.

But…I’m a little disturbed by some of what I see, people. Morbid, fascination, y’know. I’m not sure if I’m more disturbed that this is what led you to my site, or that my site delivered. So...of course I had to share.

Search term: Girl inside artificial mare
  • Jane’s response: Why the hell did you put her in there?! And holy shit!! Let her out! Sounds like a Law & Order: SVU episode waiting to happen! Creeeeeeepy!!


Search term: Alien artificial insemination

  • Jane's response: You have problems larger than my humble little blog can help you with, buddy. But...can I see that baby when it comes out?! Freaky!


Search term:
Screw a chicken
  • Jane’s response: This one came from Arkansas. ‘Nuff said. I hear they screw other animals there too. And siblings. Yeah. Ick! All those feathers... Eesh!


Search term: Inseminator girl

  • Jane's response: Sounds like bad '80's porn with an Arnold Schwarzenegger-esque main character. Bow chicka wow wow...


Search term: The “douchebag patrol”
  • Jane’s response: Awww crap! They’re organizing! But let me help you out, dude. www.hotchickswithdouchebags.com for all your social networking needs - where the popped-collar-snuggy-shirt, faux-hawk hairdo, sideways peace sign and vacant-stared-poochy-lipped facial expressions are all the rage.


Search term: Artificial insemination for dummies

  • Jane's response: Let me save you $20 at Barnes & Noble, friend - here's what you need: girly mags, lotion, and a turkey baster. Everything else is a waste of money. Not that I know anything about that... Really...I don't!


Search term: Militant pansy fairy blowjob

  • Jane's reponse: Sweetpea... Didn't anyone tell you that we've inducted a "Don't Ask Don't Tell" Policy here in the US? Not that there's anything wrong with that...


That's all I've got for now.

An Open Letter To The Douchebag Who Drives The Porsche With The "Porsche" Vanity Plate

Dear Douchebag,

As pleasant as our morning commute passings are, there are a few things I'd like to get off my chest:

  • It is not necessary to drive 55 mph in the fast lane of a 70 mph highway, forcing all other cars to pass you to the right. Every.Freaking.Day! Learn to move, drive, or insure your car. You choose. Holy christ! You have a porsche and a radar detector! Drrrrive that baby!
  • The backward-hat-douchbag look that you sport is sooooo passe. Lose the 1994 look for something a little more now...like the 10-degree-hat-tilt-douchebag look. You'll still look like a douchebag, but at least you'll be a contemporary douchebag.
  • If you're going to listen to your music so loud that I can feel the bass in MY chest as I pass you on the highway with my windows closed, please make it something good instead of that wannabe wigger crap you listen to. Vanilla Ice, anyone?!
  • The "Porsche" vanity plate on your Porsche is a bit redundant, don't you think? Imagination is for douchebags, too!


<3,
Jane

Random Thought of the Day:

If I use the reflective back surface of my iPod to apply my lipstick, does that make me a princess or a geek?

Where the Hell is Jane?!

Yeah yeah yeah...

So I've been shirking my blogging responsibilities lately.

There's really only one excuse for my neglect (other than the usual Christmas insanity, of course).
I've been on a world rock tour, posing as my super secret alter-ego, Slash, the emo-punk-metal goddess lead guitarist for the band Thrashing Wet Puppies.

Don't believe me? You scoff at my guitar goddess status?

This is me:

Slash

I picked up a new guitar in New York, some bitchin' ink in Amsterdam, and some kickin' threads in Tokyo.
And I didn't even leave home to do it.

You too can vicariously re-live your garage band youth without leaving your home. Shirk your responsibilities, let your dishes pile up, let your laundry hampers overflow, be the supah star that you always knew you were!

I bring you, my new latest addiction...




I bought the game for myself.... ahem... I mean my kids for xmas.

As if the bleeding blisters on my left hand were not gratification enough, being dubbed the coolest mom evah by your 13 year old son as he kicks his best friend off the plastic guitar to have you play in "Freaking Hard Mode" because you wail on the guitar solo to "Enter Sandman" by Metallica is pretty sweet, too.

I'll check in again soon when the private jet reaches Sydney.
Until then...

Rock on, dudes!

<3,

~Jane
