Beulah

Hello - My name is Beulah.

I recently moved in with Brett+Greg who brought me home from STAF (Save the Animals Foundation). I was born in July 2008 - so I'm roughly 7months old. I'm a mix of what people are assuming is AMERICAN BULLDOG and BOXER, but I've decided to keep my true identity to myself and let you continue making guesses, cuz its funny what everyone comes up with.

I am an excited, lovable pup that can't wait to meet you in person! Here's some pictures of me, I'm sure there will be many more to come. For now I just wanted to say HELLO and introduce myself.

FaceBRETT

This past week I finally jumped into the black hole that is FaceBook. All while doing a swan dive into picture tags, friend adds and status updates. It’s been a bittersweet plunge. From thinking I was finally part of the cool-kids to realizing other people were suggesting friends for me (I thought everyone was on the edge of their seat waiting to add me as a friend). Then comes my panic moment during the TAG-AHOLIC’S session where my heart rate probably doubled as I raced my sister to remove tags she was adding at the most rapid-fire pace known to man.

SIDE-NOTE: My SisterLove is a professional FaceBooker, and probably has more friends than if you combined everyone who actually reads my blog. She can multi-task on that website better than YOU, guaranteed.

Now that the initial start-up anxiety is gone, and I finally understand what my "wall" is, I think I can get the hang of this FaceBook thing and utilize it at my own pace. Although I have many a friend and family member that are VIP fans of the website, I think I will tippy-toe through a little more custom fit for Brett.

I bring mixed feelings to the table when it comes to FaceBook in general, I am an ex-MySpacer who binge "MySpaced" until that rehab moment of clarity over a year ago where I just quit cold turkey. Now hopefully I can resist the temptation and not overdo it with FaceBook, and maybe I can find what so many like to call – moderation. Wish me luck!

If you’d like: be my friend, tag me in pictures, write on my wall. I think eventually I’ll understand exactly what all of that means.

Have a looky-see at the following article. Really – YOU should read it! It’s a pretty entertaining (and true) viewpoint of facebook, myspace, and all of those other words we didn’t use 5 years ago.

I got it GOIN' ON!

Thanks out to TYLER for reminding me of this song..

I Rock Hard.

On just the second day of 2009 I smashed in some child’s RockBand game. Great way to start off the New Year.

Have you been to a concert where the band destroys the instruments at the end of their show? Or maybe you’ve seen it on tv? Well in a basement recently that happened, sort of. I was basically tagging along to a friend of a friend’s house, so yeah I didn’t even know the kid whose game I broke. I’m no musician, and it was very evident as my lack of rhythm showed thru on the game. After having to restart many times because we couldn’t rock out, I was told; you have to hit the drums pretty hard, and so that’s what I did. Not 2 seconds later the right side of the drum set breaks off and there is RockBand no more.

Lucky for me the owner was pretty cool about it all, brought tools downstairs determined to fix it: quote "better than before". My guess is either he’s a wishful handyman or that his son would flip his lid if he realized some random girl came and broke his game. So we found the right drill bits, mastered together quite a remedy and actually got the drums working again. Well, I should mention I had nothing to do with fixing it, I really think the guy wanted me as far away from them as possible. I however stood by his side, knuckles bleeding from my rock star destruction, worried I ruined the game completely.

By night’s end the game was fixed. But no one turned RockBand back on, I guess I had eliminated all excitement of being a rocker. So everyone left, a little less "Ozzy Osbourne" than we all were before. Driving home, thinking about my rock star moment and how my dreams might have died in that very basement I remembered: I wanna Rock and Roll all night, and Party every day! Everything’s gonna be fine.

SO – For those about to rock – WE SALUTE YOU!

Side Note: New Year’s Eve was quite fun. I think we managed to bring in the New Year with a bang, and we didn’t even have to go to club "Bang" to do it. Happy 2009 everybody – may all your resolutions get fulfilled, but stop overcrowding my gym while you attempt them (kidding.)
