LOVE AND MARRIAGE, LOVE AND MARRIAGE...GOES TOGETHER LIKE WAL AND MART...
I think one of the saddest things ever is when people get married...in Wal-Mart. This has happened for than a few times too. The couples meet while working in Wal-Mart, so they want to get married in the store. Yes, IN the store. Among bags of Doritos, Duracell batteries, and racks of The National Enquirer, they say their vows. The sanctity of marriage *dreamily sigh* ...ruined by corporate retail. I mean, that's nice that you choose to get married in the place that you meet, but heck, I could meet the love of my life while wading through a swampy bog and I wouldn't want to get married there! I mean, I know weddings cost money, but get a priest and do it in your backyard if need be! Have some respect for yourself for god's sake!
Perhaps one could make the argument that it doesn't matter where you get married as long as you're in love, but since I'm a love cynic I say it yes, it does matter!
LIFE & ME: NOT FRIENDS or
FRUSTRATION & ME: BEST BUDS
*grumble grumble grumble* Yes, it's a three grumble day today...
I got in my car today and popped in a CD, only to have it spat back out and it saying "Er2." So great, the CD player doesn't work! I look in the book and it says to reset the audio, but it's missing one critical step. Actually saying how you reset the audio!! grrrr...
Then, midway through my trip I decide to stop at McDonald's for some greasy fried goodness. I got out of the car with my keys and a $5 bill in my hands and immediately proceeded to drop the bill. This would've been okay...had it not been windy. I reached for the bill and it blew away from me. I went to get it...and again it blew away. It was like this across the entire parking lot, the bill blowing just enough so I couldn't catch up to it, yet stopping just enough to taunt me! So I lost the $5!!! That may seem like pocket change to some of you, but it's like GOLD to me!! Argh!!!
And finally, to cap off this ultra peachy keen day, the Check Engine light in my car came on! Eeeeooouuuuggggghhhh! (that was some sort of primal scream if you didn't know)
These kind of occurrences are why the deck of life is stacked against me friends. *super sigh* So if anyone can fix my CD player, fix my engine, or give me 5 bucks, I would be most appreciative.
End of griping.
AS FRED DURST ONCE SANG: "KEEP POLLIN', POLLIN', POLLIN', POLLIN'..."
Neat! I got me a poll! To the left of this very post. So vote. It's more fun than fryin' up a bag o' crawdads! ...okay, not that much fun, but it's still fun.
TOO...MANY...ONES...CAN'T...COMPREHEND...THEM ALL...
Writing about John Stamos and his 10-10-987 commercials lately (*cheap reader attracting plug*), I was wondering, does anybody in the United States have the phone number 111-1111? Seven ones across the board. It would be a simple number to have. When somebody asks what your number is, you could just lay the seven ones on 'em. They wouldn't even have to write it down! Now I know 555-5555 is reserved for movies and television, but you don't hear anything about 111-1111.
What if Tommy Tutone had decided to use all ones to curb all the prank calls that stemmed from his song?
Jenny, I got your number
I need to make you mine
Jenny, don't change your number
111-1111...111-1111
It doesn't have quite the same ring, does it?
CREATIVELY MOVING FORWARDS IN A WAY THAT'S ACTUALLY MOVING BACKWARDS
In the October 20, 2003 issue of Newsweek magazine there's a quote that is printed as such:
"I have creatively spent every day trying to show that I'm not that guy anymore." --John Stamos, on his days costarring with the Olsen twins on the family heartwarmer "Full House"
Huh! So that's why he's been doing those 10-10-987 commercials! It's a flourish of creativity! You know, and after actually watching those commercials I can see how they're a burgeoning playground of creativity for an actor! John Stamos expounding the benefits of long distance telephone numbers with common folk--it's like an actor's dream! I guess that's also why Terry Bradshaw, Hulk Hogan, and ALF also do phone commercials, they all have a need to branch out as actors. It's all clear to me now, I'm sorry I ever made fun of him in the first place. *snicker*
*note* This post is secretly a cheap ploy to put more John Stamos/10-10-987 references into this blog since that seems to be a search word that somehow ends up linking quite frequently to my site. So from now on, every post will have a 10-10-987 reference in the hopes of bringing more readers to this site. Yes, every post. It's just too good of a plan not to work!
