GOT IT!!!!

It took me hours to find the John Michael Montgomery National Anthem audio...But it was worth it. It's even worse listening to it now than it was when I first heard it on TV. OH MY GOD! You'll find yourself cringing and laughing your head off at the same time.

Drunk and Lying

The second John Michael Montgomery finished his rendition of the National Anthem at the Golden Corral 500 at Atlanta Motor Speedway, I told you on this website that he was drunk. (Post 03/20/05: "Golden Corral 500") It's now been more than a week and finally he's come out to apologize.

But on his website he says it wasn't alcohol at all...
"I have been diagnosed with a condition known as Acoustic Neuroma which can seriously affect my hearing and balance. The unsteadiness in me that you saw was my vertigo and lack of balance."
Hmmmm. OK. That explains it all, right?

If you were watching the race, as I was, you noticed that the cameras cut away from John just seconds after he started, and never once went back. Why? You ask. Well, I'll tell you. Take a look at this picture...

First of all, he doesn't look sober. But that's not all. Why do you think he kept looking down at the back of the track pass hanging from his neck? What was written on that pass?

Hey John...Does your inner ear problem also make it hard to remember lyrics?

Sick to my Stomach!

How did this Terri Schiavo thing become so disgusting?

We've got people standing out in front of the hospice with signs...Fine. We've got people on TV and Radio talking about it...Fine. But when I see this picture I get sick.


It's not the cross in the man's hand. It's not the "pro life" shirt. It's not even the call for Jeb Bush to save Terri, which he's tried to do. It's what you see at the very bottom of the picture. An arrow pointing at DAHL.com.

DAHL.com is the website of the Steve Dahl radio show out of Chicago. This sign calling for the feeding tube to be put back into Terri Schiavo is an advertisement for that show. If you go to the site, you see this...
"Miss Friday's Show? Steve hatches a scheme to save Terri Schiavo

So are we sending Brendan or Frijole Joe to Florida? It's really hard to get a hold of Frijole Joe, which is probably why he's not totally successful. Buzz envisions Big Steve charging the door of the hospice with a pizza in one hand and a blender in the other. Joe's callin in now. He has a pizza with vegetables all ready to go. Does Joe know he'll probably go to jail for this?"

"A pizza...and a blender..." Is that supposed to be funny? People like this are making fun of the death of a woman who cannot speak for herself, and who's husband is trying to kill her for his own motives. I don't know how Steve Dahl can sleep at night.

Leaving, On A Jet Plane

Actually in a car...But I couldn't think of a good title for that. I'm heading to Richmond, and then Northern Virginia for Easter. Hopefully I'll have a few posts from wherever I am.

Happy Easter!

Spring Has Sprung

You know that day every year when you look outside and there are buds on the trees. And you think to yourself, or out loud in front of friends, when the heck did this happen?

That day is today.

Really...go ahead and look. I'll be here when you get back.... ....... ...... ... ....... ....Ok...Now we can continue.

It may be raining outside but there are buds on every tree in my yard and it hasn't even been that warm yet. Spring is a season that's nice, but all it really means is Summer is on the way. I'm getting so sick of typing posts talking about the summer, and I'm sure you're getting sick of them too, but I can't help it.

In other news...I'm trying to get my motorcycle license this Summer. Anyone want to show me how to ride?

Cheap Piece of Crap

Last night's American Idol stunk! Anyone agree? I knew it was going to be the same songs as the night before, but they could have at least had the singers do it over again. Give the ones who did badly another chance. But no. They decided to just replay the same performances.

At least I got to see the beautiful Carrie Underwood again.

American Idol

The best performance in Idol history. You've heard about it...Now here it is.

Carrie Underwood - Alone

To post a comment about last night's American Idol, or the show in all CLICK HERE

Remember they have a special edition tonight because someone screwed up the phone lines last night. It's at 9 on FOX.

And I hate to plug FOX too much on this site but there's an all new OC on tomorrow night at 8. I swear I'm not getting paid by them. Although I should be.

The Power of a Search Engine

As I try and figure out how I should do a website that people will like and keep checking back to, I'm amazed at some things I see on my KisforKat Stats page.

The Stats page is something that I can check that will tell me what computers are checking my site, How many people check my site, and how often they check it. I look every once in a while and I'm always pleased when more people look at KisforKat.com on one day than did the day before.

But it blew me away to see how many people looked here yesterday. This is a graph of the days of this month, and how many hits I got on each day.



On weekdays I have a pretty good average of people that check, and then yesterday (the 22nd on the graph) I had a huge jump. It only took me a second to figure out what that was.

Terri Schiavo.

It was the first time I talked about something in the news and it got me 3,981 hits. Now, if KisforKat.com was for profit that would mean more money in my pocket...But it's not. So that just leaves me to think about how topical this issue is, and how many people are interested.

KisforKat.com is a small website that has built a small following in the past few months and it's amazing, for me, to see what a search engine can send people to.

Why Do You Want Her Dead?

It's all over the news and I'm sick of hearing about it. It's not that I wish the coverage would stop. It's not that I wish the whole world wasn't focused on Terri Schiavo. I wish her dirtbag husband would stop fighting to kill his wife. If he did that, this would all be over.



It's been four days that Terri's been without food. FOUR DAYS!!! Can you imagine? My blood is boiling as I write this.

Every argument has been made for and against Terri so I will just put it this way...

Q. What is gained if Terri dies?
A. Nothing


Q. What is lost if Terri lives?

A. Nothing


Her Parents want to have custody. They want to pay for Terri's care. Michael Schiavo has been offered OVER 3 MILLION DOLLARS to hand her over to her parents...He won't do it. I can only pray that none of us have to go through what she's going through now. If I'm brain dead and all I need is food...FEED ME!

Friend Cheating...What Do You Do?

We talked about it on the air today...And I figured I'd bring it up here too. What do you do when you see a friend cheating.

I was at dinner Saturday night and a friend's wife was openly kissing another man. I've been friends with both the husband and wife for a while and it was really uncomfortable. The other people at the table also knew the couple and felt the same way. They all kept asking me what was going on...And I didn't know.

I chose to tell the husband and he thanked me for it...But that's a hard decision. In the end I guess I did the right thing...He should know what's going on. But, God, it's hard to get in the middle of that. I just pray that everything turns out OK.

Tell me what you think...

Golden Corral 500

John Michael Montgomery just did the National Anthem at the NASCAR race. I think he was drunk. I got nothing against being drunk at a NASCAR race...But if you're doing the Anthem, just wait. That's all you gotta do. You'll have 4 hours to drink. You can't stay sober until the start?

The American Dream

My dreams have changed over the past few years. That's since moving to Roanoke. I used to want to live in a big city and make lots of money. Well the money part still stands but all I really want is to live in a house on Smith Mountain Lake and have parties all the time...It's a little more complex than that.



When I was living in New York I didn't know what I was missing most of the time. We'd visit my relatives in Virginia and it was nice but I liked living in the North.

Now I realize that I lived 18 years of my life in a hole that many people will never get out of. People in New York don't know what's out there. In other words they don't know what's out here.

The people here are great, the mountains are addictive, and the weather is the best.

I have never left another city and missed it the way I miss Roanoke. Thinking about the mountains and the sun setting behind them gives me a charge when I start the 3 hour drive back from my Parent's place in Richmond.

If I had one wish to make in this life it would be that I could stay here and live out my days visiting, or living at, Smith Mountain Lake and drinking cocktails as the sun goes down. I don't think there could be a better thing to hope for.

Bring On Global Warming!


THE IDEA:


I'm starting my own non-profit organization. People for the "Ethical Treatment of the Sun" A.K.A. "PETS". Our entire goal is to raise the temperature on earth by using as many OZONE eroding chemicals as possible.

The global warming phenomenon has been lagging behind by my calculations. One to two degrees per year is just not fast enough. I've come up with a goal that I think we as a people can reach.

THE GOAL:

We want to raise the earth's temperature by 10 degrees in the next 2 years.

That would mean that on a day like today in 2007 it would be in the 60s instead of the 50s. This would in turn make people more happy.

A CALL TO ACTION:

Please head to your local grocery store and buy hair spray... Loads of it. If they sell the bulk pack, buy it. In the end, the expenditure will be well worth it. Then spray the hair spray, not at your hair, but at the sky.

Also, drive your car as much as possible. If you don't own an SUV or a sports car, buy one, and plan a trip to California.

Mother Nature can kiss my butt, I want Summer now!

All is Well...Almost

Danny and I have pretty much gotten over our sickness. I decided against the logos I had posted. And the temperature is about 68 outside. All is well and I'm relaxed. Plus there's a Nextel Cup race this weekend.

What more could any man ask for...except...For the two of us to be totally over our sicknesses...Enough money to pay someone to make a great logo for the website...And the temperature to be a humid 81. I guess there's always more to ask and hope for. But that's what makes life fun.

Kat in the Press...UPDATE...

How Exciting. I got a letter from the publishers of The Roanoker.

They're going to do a short story on me. It'll be in the May-June issue. And I got the inside scoop about the award for Most Humorous Roanoker, but you'll have to get the magazine to see what I'm talking about...or maybe I'll spill it before that. Check back for more details.

I was gonna clean my room...

"...Until I got Sick.
I was gonna get up and find the broom, but then I got sick.
My room is still messed up, and I know why.
(Why man?)
‘Cuz I got sick, because I got sick, because I got sick.
la da da da da da da"
If you don't know the song then you'll stay in the dark.

I think the show is off for tomorrow. Danny and I are both shivering cold with the heat on and covers pulled. He thinks he's got a temp of about 102. But that's without checking.

The problem is that we both went down to Dolce, a new club in Roanoke, and tried out a Hookah.


A hookah identical to the one we smoked at Dolce

It was fun and all but our friend Amy was sick and we were all putting our lips on the same Berbiesh (mouthpiece). Now I'm sick and I feel like Keanu Reeves
