All About Skippy
What's up with the name "Skippy"?:

I once made the mistake of wearing a shirt with the Skippy Peanut Butter logo and the phrase, "Spread the fun" on it. Just like peanut butter, it stuck.

Age:

March 26, 1983. The second youngest of six girls born between 1967 and 1985. Yep. My pops is fertile.

"Education":

Graduated from Fresno State with a BA in Communication at 19. My mom often wonders how in the hell I ended up here. I say, it beats working!

Worst Pick-up Line:

It goes something like this... "Skippy huh? Are you chucky or creamy?" What the HELL does that mean?!

Pet Peeves:

People who think it's cool to call up and talk crap, but hang up before I can respond. What? Are you scared you'd have to come up with a rebuttal?

Goals:

Total world domination. At which time, everyone will be required to wear "Hello, My Name is ______" tags, and pedestrian traffic will follow automobile laws.

What I can't live without:

A radio (sure, I have an IPOD, but I am old school... and loyal), oatmeal, coffee, running/cycling, my dogs, something decent to read and a toothbrush.

Biggest downfall:

Anything sweet and sugary of a chocolate concoction.

Favorite part of my job:

Aside from the music (because I am a rock fan through and through)... Office Ambush. I love hitting up people where they work and causing some trouble.

Dirty little secret:

I have bought tickets to see Hilary Duff and Fall Out Boy... ONLY because my nieces really wanted to go and I like being the cool aunt. They owe me big time. I can never get those hours of my life back.

Most irritating thing about me:

I'm pretty intense. I'm either all in, or not interested. That can be annoying. Plus I obsessively plan stuff. My mom has "to do" lists from when I was in preschool.

Get Head

If you’ve been wondering where YOU can find HEAD… I saw this in the news yesterday:

 

Ex-Korn Member “Head” Readies Solo Album

 

August 20, 2008

 

Gary Graff, Detroit

 

Brian "Head" Welch wanted his first solo album to bring him back to Korn-- the sound, rather than the band.

"I was getting away from our sound, the Korn sound, as far as my writing," the guitarist, who left Korn in 2005 and releases "Save Me From Myself" on Sept. 9, tells Billboard.com. "The last couple Korn records I just didn't feel like I was doing what I wanted. I feel like I was trying to please the industry or management or whatever more than myself.

"I got to get back to that (sound) on this record. You can tell that it's Korn. You can hear some of the old Korn stuff in there. That's what I love, and I wanted to do that."

Welch spent nearly three years making "Save Me...," working in fits and starts interrupted by his recovery from crystal methamphetamine addiction and deadlines for his autobiography of the same name. And though he left Korn to follow a Christian path, Welch says the album isn't intended as musical ministry.

"I'm just sharing my experiences," he explains. "I don't want to be preachy. I just want to be real, and the songs are real. The purpose and the intent of the album was just to tell my story and things that happened to me and share what I went through. I went through a lot of positive changes, so you're going to get a lot of positive feelings from that."

 

Welch says that he and the other members of Korn are on good terms now -- "I look at them as brothers" -- and although he hasn't had much contact with them, he appreciates frontman Jonathan Davis' public comments that "the door is always open for me if I ever wanted to come back." But he doesn't think that will come any time soon.

"I don't see it happening right now," says Welch, who plans to do a signing tour to promote "Save Me..." before putting together a band for a concert tour. "Right now I just want to help people, so if (Korn) had the same drive and wanted to do a project or something ... But I don't know what the future holds. For right now I'm just gonna do my own thing and see what happens."

Kids Say the Funniest Things

I am having a moment of trepidation right now because I don’t know if I am allowed to post a video that I REALLY want you to see… stupid FCC.

Here’s the set up—a cute little girl has a hard time pronouncing “mole/freckles” that she sees on her daddy’s stomach.  The result is something that could end up in hundreds of thousands of dollars in fines if it were to play on the air.

So, to dodge the sensors, I am just going to post the following link.  If you are morally opposed to cute children bonding with their fathers, DO NOT look at this video.  There, I think I took care of my guilt complex…
