The Turtle

The little sound. I cannot even handle that sound. This video makes me laugh and sad all at the same time. Poor frustrated turtle. Thank you Kennis for sharing!

Pick The Perp.

I wonder if working in the "court" field (and I use that a bit loosely) if I will do better at this than the average person. Thanks Jen for passing this along!!!

Bea Arthur Remembered.

Bea Arthur came into my life when The Golden Girls were airing on prime time. However, during that time I was an avid Nick at Nite watcher.  All In The Family was one of my favorites and after an episode one weekend, Nick At Nite decided to show a few episodes of Maude.  I loved All In The Family, but had NO idea a spinoff existed! I was so excited and got hooked.  Watching Maude and The Golden Girls simultaneously was so entertaining for me.  Then The Golden Girls had their own spinoff, Empty Nest, which I also sucked me in.  Needless to say, Bea Arthur influenced many of the shows I watched.  I found this The Best of Dorothy video and felt it only appropriate to share now.

Bea Arthur, you will be missed.

Compliments of Joey, this is pretty damn accurate.  I may disagree with one or two listed and think one particular bball player was forgotten (Lebron James? come on now) But on the whole, good job Huffington Post.

The Office Mascot

Unfortunately, this user has blocked her videos from being able to be posted on other sites. She is absolutely hysterical and quickly became the office mascot. A few favorites include Disturbia, Shake It and Right Now.  Let me know your favorites!

A Classic

Maybe this makes me a bad person, but people falling down is funny. No matter the situation, it makes me laugh.  Here is one of my favorites.

One of my favorites

Being a lover of dogs, I can't watch this video and not smile/laugh.  It also inspired me to attempt to teach Duke to speak. Lets just say its a work in progress...

Just Call Me RaAlPh

It all started when I was about 11.  I was a frequent visitor to AOL and my current screen name was getting me in trouble.  With a name like Lolipop47, you are kinda asking for it.  I would get the random IMs saying "Can I suck your lolipop" "What do you taste like" etc, which is OH SO appropriate for an 11 year old to receive. I was brainstorming for a new screen name when my father came up with RaAlPh.  Its not that clever when you look at it.  The first two letters of each of my names. Rachel Alyse Phillips = RaAlPh. Did I take my fathers suggestion? Of course not. But the name has stuck around. So there you have it. Call Me RaAlPh.

Why?

Why am I doing this? What do I even have to say? More importantly, who cares? In all honesty, I have absolutely no idea.  Blogging has become  a big trend among my incredibly talented friends.  One friend blogs about college hoops.  One friend blogs about her photography.  Another blogs about media (Sorry Jen, I tried reading yours but too many big words for me to understand what the hell you were talking about).  My sister has a classroom blog for the parents of her 2nd grade class.  All these blogs have one thing in common: a point.  My friends have actual wisdom and opinions to share about actual things.  Well I have opinions, but again I find myself asking "WHO CARES?"  So I thought about it and realized my friends talk about what they know, so I guess I will talk about what I know. What do I know?  Well, not a lot. But I do know that too often we are dragged down by the negativity and bad things in life.   I also know there are a lot of funny and happy things out there that need to be shared. I like to believe that funny and good things can beat out the bad.  So the goal of this blog will be to make you laugh, smile, smirk (prob at the expense of someone else) or at the very least, distract you for 15 seconds from the real world. 

If you have something funny to share, please post!
