My Beloved Button Pusher

Renee, My Beloved Button Pusher. My friend Renee is ill. Please keep her and her family in your prayers. Above: Renee, Ces and Bella Sinclair in permanent pigment ink.

My daughter and I designed the 2009 Mental Ninja Awards and I gave them here on my blog on my blog on April 28th, 2009:

Ces's 2009 Mental Ninja Awards

.

HIYAH!
.

"I am convinced I am the only conservative and registered Republican visitor of the Darling Renee. That makes me feel very special, which now means that quite possibly I am presenting this award to some liberals. What can I say? I have high ideals and I try to overlook the shortcomings of these beloved friends of mine for they are brainiacs and mental ninjas, artistic and creative minds and word warriors."

...and I listed the recipients. Well, the ensuing comments will tell you why Renee is my beloved button pusher, and why blogging has given me so much laughter and joy and now sadness...

Haha! You are hilarious girl. Hey, we rise above politics! Not that we can do much to change them anyway. Rather fancy myself as a Ninja, mental or otherwise!
Heeeeeee-Yah! *slinks silently into the night*

I am so grateful to know you and so happy you pop by!!!

When we were kids ...my brother and I would act out Ninja Movies in our forest...we had ninja stars and all kinds of fun stuff...it was a riot and we still laugh today...especially the day our neighbor found my brother in his Ninja outfit climbing a tree....what a great memory!!!!

‪Bella Sinclair‬ said...
HIIIIII-YAH!

OMG, I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this! Em surely is a mental ninja, daughter of the MASTER ninja herself. I bow down to you, oh great one.

You will be happy to know, blind one, that my last two votes were rejected because...well, because I had to declare where and when I last voted and I couldn't remember. HA! Talk about mental! 

Are you going to take back my badge?

Kung Fu Hustle is one of my FAVORITES!
April 28, 2009


‪Ces‬ said...
I thought I am the only woman who loves Kung Fu Hustle. My first blog had Kung Fu Hustle clips and photos of the Landlady all over the place. I wiah I had her powers!
April 28, 2009


‪BT‬ said...
Oh Ces, you are so funny. I love my award. I rather stand out as your gardening friend, so I think I am a mental ninja too. Or maybe I'm just mental!! Yeeeeee-ha! I was smiling away to Kung Fu Fighting. I used to dance to this with a good friend of mine at many a party. (Actually, my first husband's first wife). Thank you thank you.
April 28, 2009


‪Bella Sinclair‬ said...
HAHAHAHA! The landlady is just AWESOME! Can you imagine?

‪Lizzy Frizzfrock‬ said...
Ah well... Renee says you're an ok kiddo, so I'll let my yellow dog self continue to visit. Who knows, you may convert to the ways of the truly informed, hehehe. Pretty funny post for a Republican, I enjoyed it!

‪Ces‬ said...
My favorite is the chase. I like the way she runs!
April 28, 2009


‪Ces‬ said...
Why Lizzy, didn't you know? The Republicans invented humor? Haha!
April 28, 2009



‪Ces‬ said...
You are welcome Chris and definitely you are aMental Ninja with a great sense of humor!

Oh I can see you as a ninja in your pajamas!

Oh wow Diana, I bet you fought for justice and the Canadian Way too? Did you have a chako too? I am glad to know you too Diana. You are a good and beautiful egg!

Ah Manon, life is not perfect and I have learned to adjust. Hahaha!

Dusik good for you because it will be a shame if they were. I love those beautiful tinies.

Kaili, go ahead! You look great in black!!! :)))))

That is a shame Bella. You should have declared yourself an illegal for surely your votes would have counted!

Oh BT You are a lovely mental with a verdant and fragrant touch.

Ha Lizzy, that depends on what type of information you refer. It may well be misinformation you know. Lots of them floating everywhere through teleprompters. Ooops! What telepropmter? We don't use no stinkini' teleprompters here. Hahah!

Congratulations everyone. I am glad you liked it. Had fun designing it with the Em.

You're welcome Aimee!

‪Renee‬ said...
Ces this is so fucking awesome.

I LOVE IT.

I am laughing and laughing. 

Some people I don't know but the ones I do. I am counting on them.

Ces anyways I don't think you and Rush have a lot in common. I think you are faking this republican bullshit to get our goats. You are so brilliant and I don't think brilliant and republican go together. I mean isn't that an oxymoron?

And Tessa, forget it she is liberal all the way.

Karin, well we can take that one to the bank -- liberal.

Bella, yeah in your dreams. Liberal.

Baino, with that mouth like mine, they would kick her out of the party while they went to church and then screwed the dog.

Bjornik, who I adore is a total liberal.

Once again, you are one of us, just admit it.

Manon is Canadian so right there she is liberal.

Diana is so beautiful she could be the republican ideal of blond and blue eyes, but she paints like a free spirit.

Kaili young and beautiful and a young mom, Ces don't you try to corrupt her.

Oh my God I so love this. 

Ces you are so incredible and I seriously don't know what any of us would do without you.

I LOVE CES.

p.s. Ces at least Obama is reading a teleprompter instead of pulling random nonsense out of his ass.

har har har.

Thank God I can't vote there.

By the way in Canada we have Harper who is a total shit like Bush was.

Love you. Renee xoxoxo

‪Bella Sinclair‬ said...
Me neither. Don't know what any of us would do without you.

‪Ces‬ said...
Oh dear lord, it's a good thing my love for you is not just some phony blog display. I will overlook your offensive statement and excuse it.

"Ces anyways I don't think you and Rush have a lot in common. I think you are faking this republican bullshit to get our goats. You are so brilliant and I don't think brilliant and republican go together. I mean isn't that an oxymoron?"

Never call me a fake, please.

I love you, still, and always will.
April 28, 2009


‪Ces‬ said...
The world will be such a better place then Bella because everyone will be a Democrat and liberal right? :)
April 28, 2009


‪Kaili (Billy and Button)‬ said...
Yes, I do look great in black..(??) I dont know what we're talking about anymore!
April 28, 2009


‪Bella Sinclair‬ said...
Baby, you're the yin to my yang.
April 28, 2009


‪Ces‬ said...
Kaili dear, cover your ears, you beautiful, lovely person. Renee is corrupting you! Look the right way Kaili. You'll be safe there.

Anyway, RENEE DEAR! AND BELLA TOO!!! I am so happy and glad you accepted the reward because I really think you two are mental ninjas and I love you both anyway.
April 28, 2009


‪Renee‬ said...
By the way I forgot to mention our darling Linda because I was hoping you weren't insinuating that she is a Re-----.

Linda is a liberal no doubt about it. As L = Linda Liberal.

I need Bella in on this one. Bella..... I will go get her.

Bella: Ces says she never ever faked an orgasm.

Now my question Ces is: Never? Even when you are like counting the dust in the cobwebs. And it is taking forever. And your like 'come off it already.' Thinking if I just squirm and add in a little 'oooo ooo awwww' it will hurry up. Never?

Bella, what are your thoughts.

Mind you Ces is a total spitfire.

And Ces the word fake was totally not about you. You are as real and as genuine and as magnificent as they come. oooo ooo awwww.

xoxo Renee 

Love Renee xoxoxo

‪Bella Sinclair‬ said...
BWAHAHAHAHAAAAAAHAHAA!

Oh, yeah, oh yeah, that's it! More, more, more!!!
April 28, 2009


‪Ces‬ said...
See? You just proved my point!

Kaili, don't let her corrupt you dear.

No really Renee, I don't know how to say this to you. I suppose I am a great disappointment to you because you really are liberal and you love that stinking B.O.

I am not going to use my blog as a pltform to advance my political views because I just want this to be an art blog and a blog for self expression. If it so offends you that I am conservative, then I don't know what else to say. I don't have any intention of influencing you because most certainly I have acknowledged that you are a mental ninja. I have the utmost respect for you but I am sorry I will disappoint you - I am conservative. I believe in conservative values.
April 28, 2009


‪Ces‬ said...
and what are you going to do if Linda is not a L? Hmn
April 28, 2009


‪Kaili (Billy and Button)‬ said...
Im being corrupted! All I wanted to do was innocently share my art with other art lovers, and Im find myself in the middle of a sordid conversation on politics and orgasms! Shame on you all! :P Anyway you're out of league ladies, I'll leave you all to it! Ta ta! xx
April 28, 2009


‪Kaili (Billy and Button)‬ said...
**I meant Im out of you're league...so I'm leaving you all to it.. **silly keyboard that doesnt type!

‪Kaili (Billy and Button)‬ said...
I mean youre out of my league...duh! Im going to be quiet now
April 28, 2009


‪Ces‬ said...
See, that just proved me right.
April 28, 2009


‪Renee‬ said...
ha hahar har har

You are sensational.

I laughed so hard I was hitting my desk at the stinking B.O.

You are the best Ces.

Now about the faking it. We are twins, because in reality I would not fake it either. I would be 'no, i'm not doing it, forget it, not now, or I'm done, now you be done or else it is done.'

Love you, you Mental Ninja.

Now the question is for my love Bella, what was that about more, more, give it to me baby, kind of thing going on.

Okay. I need to knock myself out.

Tomorrow is Nathan's birthday so we will celebrate tomorrow.

And for the tutu. I am looking for one of those for Josephine's 2nd birthday on June 1st (yours June 2nd). What do you think of either a blue one or a black one. I think it would be cute with a little tee-shirt.

Love Renee xoxoxo

‪Ces‬ said...
Don't get flusterred dear. I won't let renee corrupt you.
April 28, 2009


‪Renee‬ said...
Okay, I love my Ninja award, I love your little face like a pixie on your banner, I love your insight, I love your honesty, and I love that you love Bella like I do.

Good night and God bless you.

xoxo
April 28, 2009


‪Ces‬ said...
Goodnight Renee, you are welcome.
April 28, 2009


‪Renee‬ said...
Oh that little tiny face like Josephines. I could just kiss it all up.

Of course I didn't smoke. You are so funny.

I mean I smoked when I was about 13. But I didn't just smoke after my orgasm with you and Bella.

Love Renee xoxo

‪Bella Sinclair‬ said...
Keep in mind, that was a fake cig to go with her fake O.
April 28, 2009


‪Ces‬ said...
You two, I thank you so much. I was not feeling well this evening and Bella you tried your best to cheer me up and then Renee came along with her liberal democrat nonesense schpiel so I feel so much better. Thank you guys. I love you both very much.
April 28, 2009


‪Renee‬ said...
Ces what goes around comes around and how many times you have made me feel good when I felt like shit, well dear friend. I can't even count.

Karma baby.

If we, as in Bella, you and me were in a room and my sisters joined us. Oh my God it would be off the hook.

Love you. Renee xoxox

‪Lavender‬ said...
Aw Ces, Thanks for making me a Mental Ninja - it sounds so much better than just 'Plain Mental' ROFL! Also I got a big laugh when Kung Fu fighting started playing - I havent heard that in ages....Thanks for keeping me in your thoughts while Ive been lurking in the murk, you are a Sweetie!

PS: Kudos Em! Nice clean design - two thumbs up!!

Thank you for accepting the award ladies.

b-b-b-b-b-Barney FRANK! Good Grief, woman, the only bloody barney I associate with is of the Rubble variety!

Ces, you darling! Thank you for putting me amongst the ranks of the great and the good...and the downright brilliant. I'm going to go into that dazzling yellow field of rape behind the house and dance like a gypsy. Right this minute! Thank you!

Thank you Ces!! HIIIIIII Yah, I am an honored liberal who loves many conservatives out there in the world - especially when they are as talented as you. Art definitely rises above politics :)

‪Ces‬ said...
Linda, I don't know what to say. Girl! Whew!!!

Barney Rubble is a thousand times more desirable that Barney Frank. You are definitely right Tessa. Thank you. You are welcome! She gave me the idea. She wants to be credited for her idea otherwise she won't give me anymore. See, now you know who the real brain is.

It does not really bother me Karin but I think it bother Renee very much. Maybe she just wants an excuse to swear.

Lizzy, Renee and Bella are a hoot! I love them very much! Thank you.
