Orthodox Jewish Rapper

Rinat Gutman - I posted her clip below....she is on facebook...as far as I know she is the only Orthodox Jewish Rapper.

Now Matisyahu - while he does rap - he seems much more into Reggae.

Lazy Sunday!

I just really enjoy days like this...

I am not playing the person of juvenile scorn (stolen from Meryl Yourish @yourish.com) at NR for the moment! And when I do..go into that scorn in the Senate most of them are too dense enough to even see that it is scorn. LOL  Well..so be it.   I enjoy it and it amuses me for the most part!

So no NR today really....my school work was mostly done on Saturday! YAY me!!!

So, today consisted if just listening to some dance jams....and cleaning up a bit...now I just have to post feedback for my classes and I am DONE except for laundry. 

I did try to call Lital...(as I said I would Shawn) LOL but I got her voice mail.  At least I had a good chat with Yair a couple of days ago...it's been a while since I talked to him....I always seem to catch him at work!   

Tomorrow is Monday...and it will be a long day of work and then working out with James.  It has been a good weekend overall!!  Especially given that it is before the holidays!

Why I dislike doctors

When we were in California I got a call from my Dr saying they needed to see me because of bloodwork I had taken a couple of weeks earlier.  They were adamant that it had to be set up right away.  So, I had an appt set up on Friday afternoon - I still had to leave work early for the appointment!  But I committed to the appt and made it there.

During that time I went a week stressing out..OK something must be wrong.  It had to be...so over the week I am like Ok they tested thyriod, diabetes...anemia...colhesteroal (sp.)  Basically everything.  So, I am thinking what is wrong...what if I have more than one thing wrong..how bad is it???  So I am at work on Friday and I can barely work - frankly my mind is on the dr. appt.

So I am off to the Dr office...and more waiting.  The Dr is running late so my 1:40 appt gets pushed to almost 2:30!  So I am upset and more anxious.  I finally get in to see her and the result is there is NOTHING WRONG.  I was like WTF..did I have to be there for? At least nothing was wrong!  Clean bills of health are always a good thing!   I just wish they could have told me over the phone instead of me stressing out all week...and then taking off work and then having to pay to see the Dr.!

RIP Bettie Page

After a heart attack earlier this week, Bettie Page passed away.

An era of sexiness has closed.

Bettie Page, the 1950s secretary-turned-model whose controversial photographs in skimpy attire or none at all helped set the stage for the 1960s sexual revolution, died Thursday. She was 85.

Page was placed on life support last week after suffering a heart attack in Los Angeles and never regained consciousness, said her agent, Mark Roesler. He said he and Page's family agreed to remove life support. Before the heart attack, Page had been hospitalized for three weeks with pneumonia.

Here are some links:

Oh happy day!!!

When I was in LA I had to do a conference call with my loan company about my refinance.  I was told that there was an escrow overage check being cut to me. I assumed it would be like last year around 2k.  It would be enough to pay off a credit card and start putting me back to recovery from the Israel trip and my insane phone bill. LOL  Well it's even better than that!!!! WHOOOO!!!  Between this and the last of my 401k money I would whip off just over 1/2 of my debt and that does not even touch my class income!!!  This is GREAT!!!  YAY me!!!  Maybe by February I can pay my boss back for the use of the Fed Ex account number to fed ex my luggage back!!!

Between lowering my escrow payment in half from about 275 to 140 a month...and lowering my interest in the refi!  I think I will easily save about 300 a month!  AWESOME!!!!  This is going to be outstanding!

The Aliyah meeting

Well the short story is that it did not happen.  I drove across Phoenix and made it to the Jewish Center in Greater Phoenix with 15 min to spare.  I get through security but they had NO idea about a workshop by Nefesh B'Nefesh.  I was annoyed to say the least. 

I have already contacted and bitched at Nefesh B'Nefesh about this!  As I really want to attend and there is no way I can go back to LA!

On the bright side my uncle called me tonight and he is going to send me a certified copy of my grandfather's death and a copy of his grave information showing he is buried in a Jewish Cemetery.  That should seal up the requirements for the Jewish Agency and get me my number so I can then apply to Nefesh B'Nefesh.

Oh happy day!!!!

My friend won his election in NR!   He was the only reason I voted for anything in NR.

But, on a side note I am having a really good time in the Senate.  The comedy just writes itself.   Damn I missed it...LOL!!!

Good times good times!

Well work is over!!!

More on Mumbai

From Mere Rhetoric and Times online:

The Jewish mother murdered in the brutal Mumbai terror attacks last week was six month pregnant, her father revealed today at her funeral.

And Rivkah Holtzberg's two-year-old son, Moshe, may have been beaten by the militants, reports have claimed.

His back was covered in bruises consistent with abuse, the chairman of Zaka, Israel's ultraorthodox recovery service, told Sky News.



Can you fucking believe this?  I am absolutely disgusted.  At what point is enough enough???

Aliyah Seminar

Is today!  In Scottsdale, AZ!  I am looking forward to this..especially about any assistance in finding a job in Israel!   I know this is sort of a catch-all seminar focusing on not just employment but taxes and retirement and schools and such...

The taxes and the retirement I guess will be helpful...but the schools and such...nah...   at least not for me.

The only thing that sucks about it is that the seminar starts at 8 pm and ends at 10 pm.
