There aren’t a lot of universal truths in the world. And I’ve checked so just take my word for it. One universal truth is that when given the opportunity, put another log on the fire/fuel in the heater. Another universal truth, if zombie movies are to be respected, and I think they are; is that someone will always get out of the quarantine. Last night I added another universal truth to the list: If you turn on VH1 at any time day or night you’re very likely to see someone who’s competed on American Idol. I don’t really care – its just odd is all.
And on a fairly unrelated note, other than it also occurred to me last night….I grew up in Cincinnati; a town that once in my youth elected Jerry Springer mayor, who, during his term in office was forced to resign for writing a check to a prostitute (or something like that) if I’m remembering correctly. Amazingly, as high as that piece of political driftwood has been set, I am much more appalled by mayor C. Ray Nagin and wonder how many more checks he’s going to write (in come cases figuratively) before his ridiculous term in office finally goes completely flaccid. It seems to me he only has a few months left to hump that dying carcass that is New Orleans’ quality of life. He’ll have to hurry if he wants to get back to the political frat house before the date-rape-drugs wear off. Again, I don’t really care – its just odd is all.
As I was writing this, a commercial came on for “Perfect fit button”. Its a button with the back like an ear ring that you can move around on your pants so they’ll fit. “When you lose weight just move the button” seem a bit optimistic to me. Kinda like chicks on the home pregnancy test commercials being happy when its positive – I’m not saying it never happens, I’m saying it probably not the norm. And if you’re buying a button that you can move around on your pants so they’ll fit I can’t help but think the fact that your Triathlon training has been going especially well was not the inspiration for the purchase. I want about a thousand of those buttons so I can completely bedazzle a Rolling Elvi jumpsuit for Mardi Gras with them.
