Ruminations

State of the Union Address:

• What was with Nancy Pelosi and the constant chewing...was it her lip, the inside of her mouth, tic tacs.....what was that?

American Idol:

• Randy and Paula used to be nicer...
• I'm always amazed at the disbelief on the faces of the contestants when they are told "Dog, that was not good".
• Haven't they learned yet that the costume will get them nowhere?

Chain Letters / Chain E-Mails:

• In the past month I have received 3 email "recipe" chain letters; 1 snail mail "recipe" chain letter and 1 snail mail "Lottery Ticket" chain letter. Stop already! These were a bad idea in the 70's - and they are a bad idea today.

Men and Their Mid-Life Crisis':

• Ok, so you reach the wise old age of 40 something, and you suddenly have this feeling that your life is passing you by. You have a gorgeous wife that loves you to death and has stood by you through thick and thin; 2 really great kids; a wonderfully supportive extended family; a beautiful house that you have both worked hard for; a wide-screen TV with TIVO and all the satellite channels any one man could want; all the other various toys that men seem to need - yet you risk it all on a 5 day rendevouz with an ex-girlfriend (whom you haven't seen in 18+ years and is also married with children) Guess what? NOW your life is passing you by.....was it really all worth it? You traded all of the above for curtain #1 - and behind that curtain was just a plain old piece of ass - and let's face it - a piece of ass is just that - a piece of ass. I'm thinking "not so much".
