Spring
Cleaning
Ah
yes – May showers bring
June flowers (or something
like that). Since it’s
cold and rainy here in New
England I might as well use
this time to clear some of
the random notes and ideas
off my desk. Well, I think
it’s my desk –
the accumulation of “stuff”
is pretty significant. So
without further adieu....
- Jogging
as a form of exercise is
still unpleasant. Just in
case you were curious.
-
Krispy Kremes rock.
-
Yes, those two items are
related.
-
Before we spend billions
of dollars to rebuild foreign
countries. how about spending
some of that to provide
Americans with affordable
health care, better schools,
or better wages?
-
I don’t have a problem
with women in the PGA. I
do have a problem with “Sponsor
Exemptions.” Q-School
is the way into PGA events,
not invitations from companies
looking for free publicity.
-
Here’s hoping Jerry
Jones can stay out of Bill
Parcells’ way.
-
If you have a good reason
why my songs should be donated
to the public domain 70,
170 or 570 years after I
die, let’s discuss.
I have yet to hear an argument
that’s convinced me
my intellectual property
shouldn’t stay mine
forever.
-
Someone tell Apple that
I’d make a really
good spokesperson for the
17-inch Powerbook.
-
I still miss Douglas Adams.
-
A note to NASCAR: ditch
the stupid yellow line.
This is racing – there
is no out of bounds, especially
when said boundary is really
just the latest idiotic
attempt to solve the underlying
problems caused by restrictor
plates. Even with the yellow
line there were still two
big wrecks in two days.
-
Am I the only person in
the country who doesn’t
give a damn about American
Idol, Survivor or The Bachelor?
-
And speaking of television
- whatever happened to the
music on MTV? Even the network
jokes about it now, but
it’s still not funny.
A day-long “Road Rules/Real
World Battle of the Sexes”
marathon? It makes me miss
Vanilla Ice videos.
-
Ultrasounds are still neat.
-
Patience has never been
my forte, but... can I just
have my voice back now?
Please?
-
I wonder if I’m helping
or hurting the cause when
the newspaper subscription
people call and I tell them
I’m not interested
because I read all my news
online for free.
-
Seriously: freedom toast
and freedom fries? If people
want to make a real statement
about their misguided hatred
of the French then tear
down the Statue of Liberty
and send it back.
-
Judging by the spam I receive
on a daily basis, I would
have to conclude that the
majority of internet users
are concerned mostly with
enlarging particular organs
of their body and scoring
generic sex-enhancing drugs.
-
Jagermeister is still cool.
Okay
– I’m off to bump
up the caffeine level in my
blood stream. Don’t
forget I’m currently
accepting donations of extra
tax refund money and 17-inch
Powerbooks....
