ENEMY OF THE CITY

Wow, that kid that caught the playable foul ball in Game 6 of the Cubs/Marlins game must be the most hated man in the history of Chicago right now. Besides Al Capone. And the Green Bay Packers. And whoever started the Great Chicago Fire.

Okay, so maybe he's not the most hated, but he's gotta at least be fourth on that list!

MONEY TALKS, WE'RE FORCED TO LISTEN

I'm not sure why the new $20 bill is being advertised all over TV and in print. The ads hype the "color shift ink," "watermark," and the "embedded security thread." That's great news. Except none of that affects the consumer that will receive the bill! The only ones interested in that sort of thing are perhaps collectors and COUNTERFEITERS.

And it's not like the consumer even has a choice in what $20 bill they receive. They get the one that gets spat out of the ATM for cry Pete! Is anyone going to actually request and "old" $20 bill?? So why advertise, I ask?

I'm sure it's because people will be confused if they didn't know they would be getting one, but I'm sure a large percent of people will still be confused anyway even after the barrage of useless advertising. People can't adapt to change.

This is exactly like if McDonald's advertised the fact that they changed the ingredients in their Chicken McNuggets. err... I mean if like Pepi advertised that their Vanilla Pepsi tastes different than other vanilla sodas...no--wait... ... Oh, dang it! I don't know! It's just the same is all!

Okay, I thought of something to write...

BIG POPIN'

Every news outlet always reports on "rumors" about the Pope's health. Nobody around the Pope has confirmed anything, but it's said he has Parkinson's and is on dialysis, among other ailments. But I mean, duh! Look at the poor guy! He looks like he can barely function, and these are just "rumors"? Why won't anyone just confirm that he has any problems? Do they think it's going to make him appear weak and not able to handle the job?? Because whether they say it or not, whenever I look at him, I think it's pretty danged obvious that he doesn't quite look healthy. It's not like anybody will hold it against him, he's old, that's what happens.

Mr. Pope, I say, retire. Take it easy man, you've given it your all and you need a break. Go to Bermuda. Take a singles cruise. Meet some people. Live life. Just a word of advice from me to you my papal brother.

By the way, I have a new comment system as you probably can see at the bottom of this post. So write me something. It would make me happy. And if you leave a comment, I'll give you some candy. Yum.

BLOCK. NOT CITY. NOT CHILD'S PLAY THING. MENTAL!

I seem to be having a bit of blogger's block. What I mean by that is, I'm having a hard time thinking of something to write about. And the harder I try, the harder it is to get an idea. I'm sorry. I've failed you all. *sob* I'll try harder! No, I mean, I'll try less hard. Yeah, that's what I mean.

Oddly enough, by writing something about how I can't write anything, I therefore have written something! Score!!!
