IT'S BEEN A LONG TIME!

In the immortal words of the rock band Boston...
It’s been such a long time!
I haven’t updated in ages, so since I am laying in bed at 3 am and I can’t sleep, I figured why not blog! Doesn’t everyone do that?? LOL
I haven’t blogged cuz I ain’t got nuttin to talk about! But as you all know about me, I can ramble so I guess I will ramble!
Someone asked me today what I was thinking about lately so I rambled off some random thoughts to him. I guess I will share those. Aren’t you lucky!!!
~ I was watching the New Hampshire Primary and I don’t understand how the media is allowed to spin so much. I mean, they were calling winners and only 17% of the precincts had been counted. What’s up with that?
~ Related to that, don’t ALL candidates have the right to equal air time? Isn’t it a law? So then how in tarnation can ABC un-invite Dennis Kucinich? Even if he didn’t have a shot in hell at winning the Dem. Nomination, he is STILL a candidate. He is entitled to be heard. In a free and democratic society, we are supposed to be able to hear what all the candidates say so we can make educated choices when we enter the voting booth. So there!!
~ And speaking of that, no, I haven’t decided yet who I am voting for, but I HAVE decided who I am NOT voting for! Have you decided?
~ Are you all getting sick of the writer’s strike as I am? I do agree with some of their points, BUT, they are putting the mid-level and lower level people out of work. The people that were not making a couple hundred thousands a year like the writers, but the $10 an hour employee that lives paycheck to paycheck. Studios and writers - C’mon and get this settled already. Besides, I miss my favorite shows already! And it IS all about me!!
~ When is Britney gonna get some help???????
~ YAY! American Idol starts on Tuesday! YIPPEEEEE!
~ The Jake is not the Jake anymore. It is the Progressive Stadium. So here’s my question...
Progressive laid off a ton of people. But now they have millions of dollars to spend on buying the naming rights of the stadium. Hmmmm, how about re-hiring the people you laid off. Or if ya got extra cash laying around, feed the hungry, help the schools, house the homeless. OH, here’s a novel idea - -lower your rates! I know, now they will have all that advertising everytime the Indians have televised home games. But I still don’t like it. I liked to go to the Jake. Now I have to go to the Prog? Sounds icky!!
~ Congrats to Nicole Richie and Xtina Aguilara on the birth of their daughter and son respectively. Ya know they read here regularly!! It is kinda poetic justice that wild child Nicole had a daughter! Payback is a bitch!

I guess that I have fulfilled my duties as a blog rambler!

Cher, if ya stop in, I miss ya and I hope your dad is doing better.
Sara, do you still read here?
Sandie, woof woof to Luc and Remy! And Ippuni, too!!
Carol, I hear there is some tripe on sale at the market! Bwahahahaha!!
Sharon, HI! Hope to see you and your shadow soon!!
Vall P, thanks for reading from half way around the world from here!!

Alright, time for me to shut up!!

Until next time...

Ok, for someone who has nothing to say, I would have to comment on all you had to say.

Well you started with the primary, then we went to a stadium? and in between I think Britney,Christina and Nicole were in there somewhere.
What amazes me is all this was done at 2am or was it 3am?

If you want some ambien please let me know, fed ex is quick

And the tripe comment, ha ha
You will never let me live that down and I love it!

Looking forward to the next blog, I probably should watch the news first as it will give me a heads up!

Your the best! :O)

CAROL,
Do you really think ambien and I would be a good match? I hear sometimes it can make ya do bizarre things in your sleep. I do enough bizarre things when I am awake - - can you even imagine what I would do in my sleep? LOL

I'll make ya a deal...the next time I am in Firenze, I will buy some tripe off a cart and try it.
(Phew, the first time I am glad I will prolly never return to Italia!!)

I think you would be better off taking the ambien, as at least you will have a excuse for acting so bizarre! :O)

If you ever eat tripe off a cart in Florence, your nuts! You never know whats going on with those carts, I never understood how those cart ppl cook on a cart! Is it possible!

Then again if you are taking ambien, and you eat tripe off a cart you have something other than yourself to blame!

♥♥♥
