More brain farts this morning.
First, I hear the American Idol final 4 are doing Elvis songs this week. That's cool. I also hear they are going to Graceland and meeting Pricilla Presley. That makes me wonder. I wonder about how Pricilla is so famous still. She was married to Elvis, true. But she also screwed around on him and dumped him for a Karate dude. But she sure has milked that broken relationship for all it's worth. Is that a strange thing to anyone else?
Have you noticed that a lot of billboards along the highways are ads for beer & liquor? Mostly Budweiser that I can see. I think it's kind of funny. If there is one product in this country that doesn't need advertising its alcohol of any kind. Everyone just sucks down some whenever they want. Reminders aren't necessary. I don't think the booze companines are hurting for business. Maybe they should save their money?
Today is Cinco de Mayo. A cool day to be sure. I heard this morning it is celebrated because this day the Mexicans forced the French out of their country. Makes me wonder why they celebrate it anymore since they all seem to be determined to leave Mexico too. Maybe it's more of a drinking holiday these days than anything else. It's probably those damn billboard ads causing it.
I hear that Starbuck's opened 4000 new stores last year. 4000!?! Wow. They really will be everywhere soon. (Not soon enough if you ask me!) But have you heard all the rhetoric about the cost? Just mention Starbuck's to someone and they will start bitching about how it's soooo expensive and how they would never go there for coffee. Well, someone is going there for coffee! I believe there are a lot of closet Starbuck's junkies out there. A lot! Maybe it's the cool thing to fake a cheap coffee addittion? C'mon people, don't be embarrassed. Starbuck's is awesome!
I heard the story again recently about the Doctor who was a casual gambler with his friends. Then a cop wormed his way into 'being his friend', worked him into betting a large enough sum so that he could arrest him and then another cop 'accidentally' shot him to death when they were doing the arrest. A totally good citizen set up and killed for what? Private gambling with friends. Stupid. My question is why is gambling illegal anyway? It just doesn't make sense to me. Who is the govermnment to tell me I can't bet on something? They have no right to do that and we let them. It's all so stupid.
Along those lines, I don't get why prostitution is illegal either. Maybe thats not the politically correct thing to say but wtf. It doesn't make sense to me. But I have mentioned that before.
Enough farting for one morning. Today is Friday and casual day and I am off on Monday! Very cool! Let's get this day going so I can get outta here asap.
