Out of the Lifesavers Five Flavor roll, my favorites, in exact order, are green, white, yellow, orange, red. Why is red/cherry last? That's because I've eaten far too many cherry Lifesavers in my lifetime, because everytime you get a holiday-issue Lifesaver book, you always get two rolls of cherry (now known as Wild Cherry). So my eating of cherry Lifesavers to all the rest of the colors is badly skewed. The ratio is probaby about 10-1. I'm sick of 'em! So the cherry Lifesavers I find rather bland because of my repetitive consumption of them. Why can't they make a pack of green? It would take me years of eating packs of green to catch up with all the packs of red I've eaten! Why oh why must I be subjected to all this cherry? All I need is a breather. Just mix it up a little so it's not all one flavor. That's all I ask. Is that so wrong of me?

But wait! There's hope for us all! Go hereand vote for your favorite colors to be in the roll of Lifesavers! And, not that I'm trying to influence anyone, for the love of God don't vote for cherry! Be honest with yourself, don't we get enough cherry already?

Every day I pass a woman on the road walking and every day she waves at me. I do not know this woman, but she initiated the wave first and now it happens all the time. It's fine with me, except that every time I see her down the road I wonder if I should pre-emptively wave to her first or let her wave first. It gets me all nervous, anticipating what will happen, so I ready my hand and keep my eye on her, waiting for her hand to come up. Then it's up--I raise my hand in return, and--ahhh...it's all over. Whew. Luckily, that happens at the beginning of my trip and not the end or I'd be a nervous wreck.

I'm not a big fan of rap music, but the one thing that's worse than rap music is rap music performed live. This is because you've got not only the rap artist on the stage, but his/her ENTIRE POSSE. There can often be six or seven or more people on stage chiming in with "Put your hands in the air!" or saying the lyrics along with the rapper. Or, when they spend more time saying "Hey!!! Ho!!!" instead of the song itself. This makes for a confusing and unappealing gaggle of noise and I can't say as I like it. But that's just one rural white boy's opinion.

Product Endorsement Day:

I had some of those new Smucker's Uncrustables, the peanut butter and jelly sandwich with no bread crust that you keep in the freezer and then thaw out. And you know, they're pretty good! The bread is soft and tastes fresh. I recommend them heartily. Of course, you can make one of your own at home, but it's the convenience I tell you!

The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker is the best thing since sliced bread--no, it's even better than that.
