• Thinking

  Since I do not have a computer and I spend my free time reading, I have been doing a lot of thinking.  Part of my time thinking has made me wonder if my thinking is actually a good thing and beneficial to my well-being.  But now as I sit in the library and stare at the screen, my mind has become blank.  Maybe it is because just a few feet from me this overly-pleasant lady is handing out cookies and cider and the Mormon missionaries are refusing to eat the cookies because they contain chocolate and chocolate contains caffeine.  Talk about devotion.  And talk about awesome when I come to this library I always have to check out a special section they have devoted to graphic novels and comic books.  It's a fanboy's wet dream.  Speaking of dreams, I have had this recurring dream since I was in high school and I think it somewhat happened this past Sunday.  When I was in high school I was never afflicted with acne but I would get all sorts of these boil like things on my body.  Anyway one night in high school I dreamt that one of these boil things had something "hard" in it.  I squeezed and I noticed that something was indeed stuck in this sore.  I grabbed it with my fingers and soon I found myself pulling out a sword from this boil.  It had an ivory handle so I guess that was I had mistaken it for pus.  When I brandished the evil sword I was invincible.  Anyway on Sunday I was sitting in my car and noticed that I thought I had cut myself while shaving.  It looked like a scab had formed and I went to rub it off.  Well scab was not a scab but it was a hair.  I pulled it and out it came.  It was freaky and about the width of 5 of my hairs and about 1 inch in length.  I was surprised I had no crater in my face.  Too bad that when I held that hair I was not invincible.

  My grandfather often told me to grab life by the whores.  I miss dear old granddad.

  I'm behind times on fads and the bands all the young girls desire.  All these years, I have thought that Band of Brothers was actually about the Jonas Brothers.

  I am thinking of going all out for this new computer system.  Since HDTVs are so low in price, I have thought about buying one of those and getting software for the computer so that I can run it on the TV.  There is nothing like reading Xanga pulses on a big screen TV and in high definition. 

  On Sunday I went to a 40th wedding anniversary party.  It was really nice.  It got me thinking how if I were to find love now, what it would be like in 40 years.  I figured I be lucky to make love last 40 minutes but then the love I am capable of finding usually charges by the hour.  But what do I know, they had free beer and I was having too much fun with that.

  I have been reviewing my DVDs of The Sopranos when I haven't felt like thinking or reading Kerouac.  Seriously "On the Road" sounds like how I spent a couple of summers minus the hitchhiking and benzedrine.  I have thought there was a curse to the cast of The Sopranos.  During filming of the series so many members of the cast were hurt and production was always being delayed.  Some of the cast haven't really accomplished anything since the series ended.  I am pretty sure the only actor who has produced anything of substance since the screen went to black was Edie Falco who now plays Nurse Jackie.  Drea de Matteo was on that horrible Friends spin-off Joey and has also turned up in brief appearances on the motorcycle mafia drama Sons of Anarchy.  Then the guy who played Big Pussy, not a sexual reference but a nickname La Cosa Nostra uses for cat burglars, was arrested for beating his wife.  He also was scheduled to appear on one of the celebrity fit clubs but had to pull out, also not a sexual reference, because of a bad heart.  Artie, the chef at Vesuvio, has been arrested for drugs and DUI.  Robert Iler who played A.J. has had numerous run-ins with the law.  The guy who played Matt Belivaqua is singing the county blues for shooting a cop.  Oops I forget Jamie Sigler who was on Entourage.  She did have problems with an eating disorder because some jackasses started web forums making fun of her for having a huge ass.  It was just that she was wearing an unflattering pair of pants.  But honestly, who doesn't like a big ass?  And now I wonder why this public library blocks my website.

  I am thinking Aaron Rodgers needs a new nickname because whenever I hear the announcers call him "A-Rod" I think of the mezzo-finook in the Bronx.  Maybe we should call him "Pussyfingers" or "At Least He Ain't Throwin' Interceptions Like Favre" or "Aaron Rockette" because of the way he was doing the high step kick with that fumble.  Such an embarassment but the rest of the weekend in football made me a lot of money.

  Snapple would be so much better if it made a Long Island Iced Tea or even a Long Beach Iced Tea...try that one, you won't be upset unless you have a drinking problem.

  You know I am getting sick of seeing all these KY commercials on the TV but I have been thinking that KY needs to take a page out of Valvoline's playbook and develop a lubricant for high-mileage women.

  You know with good news comes bad news.  I think in one of my last posts I mentioned that I will no longer have to drive my dad for his kidney dialysis because he got in at a center like 10 minutes from his work so when he goes for dialysis he can go straight to work.  Well that was good but then I realized that I will have less access to a computer until I get one built.  Damn.  I guess it's time to get back out on the interstate and pretend that I am Pacman and drive down the middle of two lanes...wom wom wom wom wom wom...hopefully no ghosts will catch me.  I also hope there will be no fruit out on the road.  With that, I leave you for the time being Xanga.  Much love and all that nonsense.
