It Wasn't Funny But I Had To Laugh

Damn You Mr. Coffee

On Comcast: How Do I Hate Thee...

How I Roll
Considering how I have no real game plan, never really knew exactly what I wanted to do, and have never worked tirelessly toward a singular big goal, I’m amazed at how content I am.  But the more I think about it, this may be exactly why I am so content. When you know exactly what you want in life, there are two outcomes.  You either succeed, which may lead to incredible happiness, or disappointment that the outcome wasn’t as thrilling as you thought.  The other outcome is failure, which is pretty sure to result in disappointment and sadness.  Lots of chances for unhappiness here. In my breezy bouncy world, I just  go with the flow.  I have idea

Darwin’s Missing Link
It amazes me when I hear fellow Americans, who have had access to books and education, argue against Darwin’s theory of evolution.  Physical evidence abounds in the form of bones and fossils.  Scientific observation has shown the abilities of organisms to adapt and change to their environment.  However, the most indisputable proof EVER can be observed everyday on daytime TV.  The missing link between modern humans and their most primitive ancestors can be found in living color on the Jerry Springer show.

Use It Before You Lose It

Halloweenies
Many haunted moons ago, Halloween night was one of the most exciting and anticipated nights of the year for me and the rest of the neighborhood munchkins.  The smell of leaves and a cool nip was in the air.  We would gulp down our dinners impatiently and wait for it to get dark enough to go trick-or-treating.  Back then, it had to be dark.  That made it way more fun and scary.
