Tuesday Night Grab Bag O’ Thoughts

If it’s Tuesday night (which it is) then it must be time for a mind-dump. That’s how I roll here on the ‘Grab Bag O’ Thoughts’. You know. I’m just keepin’ it real dudes !

1.  Jesse keeps trying to bring me over to the dark side. First he wanted me to play basketball with him. Then he wanted me to eat sushi with him. Now he wants me to get a tattoo with him. How about 1 of the 3 ?  I’ll eat sushi with you at this place in Homestead. Just tell me when and I’ll be there.

2.  Call ‘311’ to reach your Miami-Dade County Government Information Center. I bring you this useful information on ‘3-11’ – the 11TH of March.

3.  I don’t like Daylight Savings Time – especially in mid-March. It’s not right for me to be at work in the morning for over 90 minutes before the sun rises above the horizon.

4.  It’s also not right for much of the nation to be under a foot or more of snow during Daylight Savings Time. What kind of summertime fun in the sun can you actually have at 6 and 7 at night when there’s a blizzard going on all around you ?

5.  If I weren’t such a cheapskate Fiscal Conservative then I’d be utilizing a brand new state-of-the-art laptop instead of the hp pavilion zt1290 that I’ve been using for a little over 3 years now. It was state-of-the-art – in 2002 !  Maybe I’ll buy a new laptop later this year.

6.  19 out of 20 SUV drivers on the road today drive irresponsibly in my humble opinion. Do they actually know how fast the’re driving ?

7.  Late in 2007 I was hovering above 170 pounds. I wanted to get back into the mid-160s (my ideal weight range). Yesterday I bottomed out frighteningly close to the upper-150s due to a lack of food in my stomach. Today I ate slightly better. I need to eat a better balanced diet on a regular basis and get back into the mid-160s again. Who wants to join me for steak ?  Jesse ?  Come on over to the dark side with me !

8.  Homestead has nice fancy street lights all over the city along their major thoroughfares and within their new shopping center parking lots. It’s a shame that so many of them don’t work properly. I may need to draft an E-Mail to a few of my City Councilpersons addressing this problem. I’ve done it before. I’ll do it again.

9.  For many people Sundays are a day of recuperating from the evils that were done on Saturday nights. For me Sundays are a day of celebrating my love of Jesus. It’s just 1 of 7 days of the week in which I celebrate what He did for me. It just happens to be the first day of the week.

10.  Travis keeps referring to me as the ‘Director Of Cool’. It makes me sound like Arthur Fonzarelli AKA ‘The Fonz’ from Happy Days. If I’m ‘The Fonz’ then Travis is Richie Cunningham (used to be Opie Taylor), Paul is Ralph Malph, Jesse is Potsie, Phil is Chachi, Anne J. is Mrs. Cunningham, J.T. is Mr. Cunningham, and that guy that runs the Flagship Cinemas movie theatre is Big Al.
