random thoughts

It's been a while since I've written. I actually have a few more peeps who read this blog than I thought. One of them pointed out that I hadn't written since March 23, and that I'm not sounding very bitter.

Had you known me in my youth (sigh) there was a time that i was quite bitter. My sister would argue that and I can hear her say, " was bitter?? still is!!" After a bitter breakup with "the loser", all those years ago, I plotted revenge against his sorry fat ass although I never did follow thru. Flash forward to 2009 and the fact that he is losing his hair and is probably in the process of getting divorced is enough revenge for me. Karma is great. He does have a name but I can't remember it, and "the loser" sounds so much better. The only reason I know anything about his life now is because he was at a mini high school reunion i was also at last year. Did that have a bitter tone to it?

Anyhoo, perhaps I just don't have anything to bee too bitter about?!

On to my random thoughts...

Heard a remake of the song Africa. I don't remember who sang the original but some dude decided this song was classic enough , good enough to be re-made for 21st century. Why?? I have no idea. I hated the tune back in the 80's and really, if you're going to do a remake, make it sound new. It sounds exactly the same. Just like that Yes song, Owner of a Lonely Heart. Some bozo did a remake of that song too and it sounds exactly the same as the original. If I want to hear either of those songs, which I don't, I would listen to the original crap song.

Who in their right mind would want to be Hugh Hefner's girlfriend?? The thought just made me throw up a bit in
my mouth. ewwwwwwwwwwwww! I thought of this only because I read a "news" article about one of his former young girlfriends. Apparently she had no idea a stamp was required on a letter when you mail one. Her excuse for not knowing this was that she has no life experience, well normal life experience, as she is only 23 and left home at an early age. I think I learnt that a stamp was required to mail letters when I was five. Anyway, she was Hef's girlfriend from 2004-2008, which made her 18 when she first became one of his bimbets. I don't care how rich a man is. Again, ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwww!

The other day I was driving thru the drive thru at the McDonalds on Broadway and Boundary. I was getting my morning coffee -I know, McD's for coffee?? When you're already late, and trying not to be later, and you need your daily fix of caffeine, McD's drivethru is a god send - and who are you to judge? Anyway, the point of my story is, at the entrance to said drivethru there is one of those ad boards, the type that changes the ad every 15 seconds or so. Well I actually witnessed the man changing the ads! I know what you're thinking, big whup, but I've never seen this being done before. Well maybe I have, but way back then they would paste the strips on. This time he just pulledd the strips out from the bottom of each 3 sided thingamajig. So that's how it's done, I thought! It was like that moment in the movie Amelie, where our heroine finally figures out who the bald man in all those photos was! Okay, not quite as dramatic as that but an aha moment nonetheless.

That's about it for now.
