Me against the world

I’ve begun to notice that there are certain insanely popular things in this world that people GO CRAZY over…that I have no interest in whatsoever. Case in point:

1. Facebook. Never been on it, never care to be on it.
2. Gossip Girl. I liked it before when it was called “Cruel Intentions” (a little David Spade throw back for y’all). In all seriousness, what is the point in watching young, rebellious, affluent, promiscuous, well-dressed teens navigate New York wondering what bar to go to? When I was 17, I went to TGI Friday’s and the movie theater at Gurnee Mills.
3. Harry Potter. Wizardy is not at the top of my list of hobbies.
4. Fried Chicken. Just a personal preference.
5. High School Musical. Don’t even get me started.
6. Ed Hardy clothing. It’s like saying, “I want to my graffiti t-shirt to look classy. So I’ll add rhinestones and a trucker hat.”
7. Eddie Murphy movies starring Eddie Murphy as multiple characters. Sure the guy is talented. But Norbit??? Meet Dave??? Good God…
8. Every dating show on MTV: Next, Dismissed, Date my Mom, etc. I remember back when the only dating show on tv was Blind Date with Roger Lodge. Vintage!
9. Ryan Seacrest. Seriously, how did this guy get gigs on tv shows, endorsements (horrible mouthwash commercial), radio shows, and hosts major awards shows? He has a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame- am I only one who has a problem with this???
10. Jamba Juice. In one word: NO.

Get your laugh on

At this point I am literally crawling back into my chair because I fell out laughing. Mad Magazine (D.C. Comics) has taken a creative spin on political parodies! I personally think they are both hilarious.

New tricks acquired; this weather blows

As I continue to navigate the world-o-blogs, I have picked up a few interesting tidbits along the way. I have recently added a “Photos of my life page.” Check it out.

I will continue to add more info as the season of Fall creeps on us. Speaking of creeps, the storms last night were a huge pain in my a$$, as I could not fall asleep if you paid me. The noise of thunder and lightening was deafening, and it jolted me out of sleep multiple times.

Thankfully, I am addicted to caffeine and plan to keep it pulsing through my veins throughout the day.

So delightfully creepy

What kept me awake all night
