Songs that Make You Cry
Everyone has a song that makes the cry. i have a couple. But the one that really was a throat clencher goes back to when i was a wee little kid. "The Littlest Worm." a quick search on the internet reveals there are many versions of this Girl Scout sing-a-long. But i vividly remember feeling really bad for the worm.
it went something like this: The littlest worm you ever saw got stuck inside my soda straw. He said to me don't take a sip for if you do i'll slip. i took a sip and down he went right through the
pipes...he must have drowned ...yadda yadda...
anyone have a favorite tear jerker...let me know.

"Did You Mean..."
Today i searched for an author by the name of: Helga Melga Burgamurgalander. Now, when typed this in the Google search engine it gave me the lovable "Did you mean (...get this...)
Helga Helga Burgamurgalander." I thought the "suggestion" was prompted by at least more popular varieties of searches under that title...or the actual correct spelling...as in a spell check.
well, when i clicked an emphatic, "Yes!" It took me to the "No pages found" dead end. I was duped. i was hoodwinked. I was bamboozled. i jumped off the Brooklyn bridge because my friend said to. Oh if only i had listened to my mother. gurgle gurgle gurgle.

New Olympic Sport: Complaining
I propose a new Olympic Sport. Complaining. That's right. USA would be the undisputed leader for years to come...we could hold international summer camps on the subject. I love, don't get me wrong. And, i like to complain from time to time too. But, i know the time and place for my complaints. I hear and am entirely exhausted by the non-stop complaining i hear from people all day and night long...give it a rest. Get over yourself.
If you are a cashier at your local department store and don't like working the 6-9:30 shift...take a different job..or suffer through it in silence. I don't need feel sympathy for you while i'm buying my $30 T-Shirt. And, what's more, i've hear so much of it that i don't feel sympathy anymore, instead anger. Also, i don't want to hear "I don't get paid enough to do this!" Yes you do. You are exemplifying exactly why you are worth $6.50/hr. a professional representative of your store, would never want the customer feeling angry or sympathetic...those are not "buying" moods. When you were hired i am positive they told you how much you would make...that was the time to complain...i can not give you a raise!
If you buy your lunch from the same vendor each day...and most days you are dissatisfied with the meal...guess what...time to stop buying from them. The examples are endless...and i've had quite enough.
So the next time you see someone go "Falling Down" ala Michael Douglas...minus the kidnapping and murder...you'll know why.

Hindsight is 20/20
Did you ever find it odd when people say "Hindsight is 20/20?" Because, they are attempting to say hindsight is perfect...while 20/20 eyesight is merely average.
I think a cool revolution is in order....let us all start saying "Hindsight is 20/10." or "Hindsight is perfect."

Movie of the Week (An American Werewolf in London)
1981 a year for when for great, classic movies. An American Werewolf in London, Superman II, and Clash of the Titans. All of these movies hold long lingering memories of childhood sleep over parties. They are all filled with great, quotable lines than anyone can toss in to any conversation. For example, If you want to warn someone of impending danger you could say, "Beware the Moors, keep to the road." or if you some says "Oh God" in front of you, you could say, "No...Zod" If two people are arguing in front of you...you could say "A titan versus a titan."
There is a particularly funny line in American Werewolf where David is trying to get arrested in Trafalgar Square while everyone is ignoring him. "Queen Elizabeth's a man...Shakespeare was French..." i find that a particularly funny insult.
