Oh how times have changed!
Exercise: 100 push-ups, 200 crunches, 50 leg lifts, and a 2 mile run. Can certainly tell it's been awhile since I last ran but I have to give myself a pat on the back for still being able to keep it under 18 minutes. :)
The last time I went to my parents' house I was rooting through some old papers dseperately hoping to find the title to my car. I can't believe I've managed to be such a scatterbrain with it (very out of the ordinary for me). It must have run away and hid when we moved. I just hope the little fucker decides to produce itself someday soon because I really don't have to hassle with getting a new one and paying $15 for it just to give it away to the next owner of my current vehicle. Grrrr!
Ok so anyway that wasn't the main reason I mentioned digging through crap. I actually started to tell about one of those things from the "found something I was looking for at one time but couldn't find but since I wasn't looking for it this time I found it" files - concert stubs from yesteryear. I couldn't believe how cheap it was to go to a concert 10 - 15 years ago compared to today. Check these out and keep in mind these were stadium/area venues:
Genesis - Friday, June 23, 1992: $25.25
U2 - Friday, September 11, 1992 (the date on this one caught my eye): $30.25
Def Leppard - Tuesday, December 15, 1992: $20.25
Damn Yankees - Sunday, January 3, 1993: $12.75
This was also back when the "handling" charge wasn't more than about $2.50 and there was no such thing as a convenience fee. I'm still trying to figure that one out. I mean how it is convenient to me to fork over another $6 or $7 so TicketBastard can make a phenomenal profit? Just once I would love to see everyone boycott all the concerts that pocket scalping dump sells tickets for then we will see how convenient their charges are. neener neener FUCKERS!
And now for something completely different.......
Well, two things actually. The first comes from my Wally World shopping trip Friday night. Chi asked me to buy him some beer - just so you know, this is something I loathe basically because of the whole ID issue that never fails including this time. When I went to check out, I put the beer up on the belt first not only to get it out of the way but because most of the other stuff I had was delicate veggies and I didn't want the dumb bitch behind the counter squashing my shit like they usually do. So much for my plan to protect my produce. Dopey lady reaches around the beer and starts picking up the stuff behind it - HURUMPH! The whole time she was doing this, she kept looking me over. It was all I could do to not say, "What?! Do I have something on my face?" LOL When she got done molesting my peppers and onions, she looks me over again and says, "Are you over 27?" HUH? That's when I remember the little signs they put up that say something about if you look like you are under 27, you will be ID. I told her that I was exactly one month away from turning 32. I couldn't believe what happened next. She asked me if I was sure. Uh well yah lady I think I know when I was born. I told her I was and then she still wanted to see my ID. She said I just looked too young to be that old. Ok lady here's my license - go on.....snoop around I'm not a liar. I don't mind if people think I am younger than I am. Hell, if I can pass for someone 10 years younger than I am - cool. What isn't cool is arsesharts wasting my time instead of just asking for my ID in the first place. BASTARDS!
The second part of this section is about a commercial I saw tonight for Diet Coke. I don't drink much pop and when I do it's usually Ginger Ale or Sprite. If I get a cola, I choose Pepsi over Coke and I certainly don't do diet pop - I like full tar but I have to give props to this particular ad because they used one of my favorite dance/electronica songs which you will find on my hit list - I Like The Way by Body Rockers. :)
Otay...Vicar Of Dibley is on so I'm outta here.
Til next time......
