The rapper Jay-Z's position at the top of the Glastonbury bill has notoriously riled the likes of Noel Gallagher of Oasis, who implied it was the sort of thing that would never have happened in his heyday. 'I'm sorry, but Jay-Z? No chance,' guitarist Gallagher complained in April. 'Glastonbury has the tradition of guitar music ... I'm not having hip-hop at Glastonbury. It's wrong.'

Jay's gansta response:

That was a trample over the yellow and purple.  I can hear Mr. Jackson whining about it now. HAHAHAHAHAHA!

So I'm sitting at my desk and under normal circumstances the waist of my pants rub against my navel ring and bother me.  This time it was extra. So I grabbed it and discovered that the top ball had fell off! DANG! I look in my pants and on the floor all the while saying dang.  So of course my fellow co-workers are asking are you ok and looking at me slightly confused as I hold my stomach area and look around on the floor.  How do I say 'my navel ring has come apart" and remain professional??   So this is all extra of course because I am extra.  I know I can just take it out, but quite frankly I'm squirmish about it.  Plus I heard that it can heal quick because there is a lot of blood in the area (not that quick is going to be my eight hours at work).  So I sat down holding the top of my ring, wondering what am I going to do??   Im usually very creative in temporary solutions.  This one however........ Im not too sure. 

But I mean really, should I carry around an emergency navel ring???????

So right now I'm sitting here with a band aid wrapped around the top of it hoping it stays put till I'm done.  Good thing I had planned on a trip to the mall after work.

I thought about writing this before the weekend, but decided to wait till it ended so I can genuinely write about how I was feeling.  Saturday June 14 is my moms birthday and today of course is Father's day. Unfortunately both my parents have passed away and hence made the anticipation of the weekend and how I would feel a little uneasy.  It will be two years in July that my mom left so that is much harder then my dad that has been gone for 10 years in December.  I won't say time has made it easy but it has made it easier.  I would cry at the drop of a dime at anything that made me think of my mom.  Now at times I think about how much I miss her and it often makes me cry, otherwise I can think of her with happy memories and maybe shed a tear or two. 

 My sister has been the one going through my moms stuff and let me tell you, my mom has kept everything!  Its really cool because she kept so many things that I did as a child and now looking back on it, it makes me laugh.  A friend of mine said I was a precocious child cause I often said exactly what I was thinking even when I should have held it back. Anyway I decided to sit down and go through some stuff my sister sent me from my mom.  It was cards she had gotten over the years from me and some of my ex-boyfriend's, which was pretty cool, But then I found a poem written to her.  I started to read it and I recognized the handwriting although it never was signed by the person who wrote it.  Amazingly it was also dated 1966. Wow thats old!!!! I can hardly believed the paper is still intact, although barely.  The poem brought tears to my eyes because it just reminded me how much my dad loved my mother.  She was everything to him and although they divorced he never ever had a problem telling me how much he loved her.  I have to say I'm glad my mom was a pack rat.  Finding the letter was just a reminder to me of how my parents felt about each other and now they are togather is a place where there is no judgment based on who they are and the love they have for each other. 

This is dedicated to my parents for making me the person I am, thank you.  I love you very much and I miss you guys very much.
