Joe Jackson has said in an interview "who else is going to raise those kids?". Uh, anybody but YOU! He was saying that he can see some talent in Paris and that Blanket can dance. He already sees dollar $ign$ in his eyes. Can you imagine if this fool gets his hands on those kids? History will repeat if he gets his hands on these children and I just know that he will start beating them and he will take their childhood away from them.
Michael Jackson said that when he thinks about Joe Jackson he regurgitates and Joe said "yeah, regurgitates all the way to the bank". This man has ice in his veins not blood. He can not get his hands on these kids. I think that if they want to be performers that should be their decision and not forced on them.
As I said earlier, Joe Jackson said there is nobody else to take care of the kids. And you think that YOU are the only one who is capable of taking care of kids? What about Janet? What about Germaine? What about Diana Ross? What about their birth mother?!?! I think there are plenty of people who are more capable of raising a child let alone 3 children than you are Mr. Jackson. You need to go away and get off camera please.

Day 2 With New Bike Seat
Yesterday I felt everything was against me. My back tire had a bump in it, my computer wire was cut from the pimple in the front tire and my seat just wasn't comfortable at all.
But yesterday I fixed the back tire by putting in a different tube, not the presta but the other valve, I fixed the wires for the computer and I adjusted my seat ok.
Today I woke up late. I normally set the alarm to wake me up at 4am but I guess I forgot last night because I woke up at 5:30am. So I was able to leave at 6am. I thought the world was going to be against me again but it was ok.
I thought that yesterdays last adjustment of the seat was good where I made it so it's forward and not backward but that wasn't good at all. I just felt like I was going to fall off. When I got to the bike trail I decided I need to adjust it yet again so I just moved it back 1 notch and it was good the rest of the trip.
I did my 20 miles and all was good. Although, I need to sit in the Shiatsu massager for awhile because my back is killing me from that lol. It's like my arms are pushing too hard on the handlebars or something. I'm sure that I will be comfortable with this new seat and then there won't be any problem.
Oh one last thing, when I was looking at the website where I bought the new seat from I was debating on if I should buy the cheapest seat by itself or maybe with the sheepskin. Or maybe I should buy the gel seat I just don't know. So I emailed the website asking them for their opinion and the guy who runs it said that he uses the classic with sheepskin so I took his word for it and bought that. Big mistake.
I should've taken into consideration that sheepskin is going to be hot during the summer lol. DUH! And I really do need that gel seat. It's just too bad that I gave my old seat along with the gel cover to a neighbor. I could've cut the gel part and sewn it to the bottom of the sheepskin. Or I could just cut it at the crotch area and just make my own cover with the fabric that it has on it. Just a little nip and tuck here and I could've used it. Oh well, maybe next check I can buy another gel seat cover from Walmart or Target and just cut it up and put it on there.

New Lower Price Kindle
There is now a lower priced Amazon Kindle at $299. Now that's what I'm talking about. Although it has a 6" screen, 2 GB HD (1.4 available for user content) and you can see what else it has...
Kindle: Amazon's 6" Wireless Reading Device (Latest Generation)
It's not as big as the latest Kindle and it doesn't have an SD slot, it's not in color and it isn't touchscreen. But the good news is that it's coming down in price. Maybe they are seeing that people just aren't buying the Kindle because of the gigantic cost. I mean, $300 is still a lot of money but not compared to $489 for the Kindle DX.
If I bought a Kindle for $299 then I bet you anything in about a year they will have a better one for $199 then a year later a better one for $99. Well, I don't know if they will drop that dramatically but I think I'm going to wait for them to come down a bit more before I take that leap.
I would love to buy a bigger screen one for Chip for the newspaper but unfortunately our local paper is not available for the Kindle. They are digital but with another company so hopefully when the Kindle goes down in price then our paper will see that it's getting popular or they are getting a lot of requests then they will finally add their paper to the Kindle.

Tinkerbell Woodburn
A few years ago I was looking at my sisters MySpace page and she has a Tinkerbell obsession from what I could tell lol. Over the years I've been wanting to do something nice for her that is Tinkerbell related but I could never afford to until now. Although, I didn't really "buy" her anything as much as I made her something...
I made her this thing that she can hang on her wall hehe. I'm not sure if she will want to hang it but I will put one of those picture hanging metal things on the back with those brads so she can just put a nail in the wall then rest it on the nail. Although she might not want to hang it, maybe she might want to use it as a paperweight who knows lol. Whatever she does with it is out of my hands once she gets it hehe.
I just love her so much, she has helped me when I was a teenager and in my early 20's by giving me a roof over my head and she's just always been there for me and I want her to know I appreciate her.

My interesting ride today
I went on my ride this morning but I found that I had a few problems.
Since my computer didn't work today I'm going to have to write down an old time when I used to go 16 miles so I can at least have something to write down. I'll have to fix that wire today so that I can use it tomorrow.
"The Bicycle Seat" website that I got the new seat from say to give it at least 3 weeks and considering I've already given my old seat and the gel cover to a neighbor I have no choice but to give it 3 weeks lol. I can't ride any other way. But I do want to give it some time to get used to because I'm not numb today in the naughty parts but my butt is killing me lol. My arms are killing me too ugh.
- As I was riding the bike I got to where Kaiser Permanente hospital is and their lights were shining on me and I went to look at the computer to see what time it was and to see how fast I was going with my new tires and seat but the screen was blank. So I pulled over to find out what the issue was. When I put the wheel back on the front fork I put it on backwards so my magnet was on the wrong side of the wheel lol. So I put it on the correct side and spun the wheel but it still didn't work. It's because of what my pimpled front tire did to the computer wire, it stripped it so there are wires that are exposed so it doesn't work now. So today I have no reference of how fast I was going or how many calories I burned.
- When I left the house I didn't notice that my back wheel had a bump to it. As I was riding on the bike trail I could feel the bump and I wasn't sure what I was supposed to do about it because it's a brand spanking new tire. When Chip bought me the new tires he also bought me new tubes that had the presta valves. My front wheel is brand new (26x2.00) but my back wheel (26x1.95) is the original wheel on the bike so since they are both different sizes they both won't accept presta valve because the presta valve tubes have this big ring under the valve. The regular tubes that you buy don't so I just had to change the tube on the bike trail then all was good.
- And now my new seat lol. Yesterday when I first put the new seat on I rode it down the street then had to come back to adjust it. Then I rode around a bit and had to make an adjustment here and there and I thought I had it all worked out but I guess I didn't. So on my bike ride this morning I think I pulled over 3 times to make adjustments. I finally got it to a comfortable position. I had to raise my handlebars though because even though the instructions are to lower the seat by 1 inch I did that yesterday and my legs were bending too much so I put it back so today all I had to do was raise the handlebars and that fixed that issue.
Since my computer didn't work today I'm going to have to write down an old time when I used to go 16 miles so I can at least have something to write down. I'll have to fix that wire today so that I can use it tomorrow.

The Bicycle Seat
Well I got my bike seat today. I almost didn't get it because the mail carrier left it on my doorstep where anybody walking by could take it. They didn't even bother ringing the doorbell. I'm about to go out on it now. BRB.
...
The website where I bought this seat from, The Bicycle Seat suggest that you ride it for 40 minutes so that you can make adjustments here and there so it's comfortable. They suggest that you lower the seat 1 inch which I'm not quite sure that works for me, I'm probably going to have to raise it back up. But I had to adjust my gear shifting thingamabob because when I was riding it I felt like I was riding faster than the bike was capable of so I adjusted that and it works for me. I adjusted the seat so it's down a bit in the back as per their suggestion and that kinda helps.
I do kinda feel strange though while riding it. I can actually feel my "sit bones" sitting on this seat. Before it was just my crotch area that was sitting on the seat. Now I won't have to make any more adjustments to my shorts while riding. They usually ride up because of the "horn" or "nose" of the seat.
Well, I don't really have the time to test it out for a full 40 minutes today because I have lots to do but tomorrow I will be on my 2 hour / 20 mile bike ride so as soon as I get home (probably 6:30 or 7am) I will definitely be back here to blog about my strange new experience.
