A couple of nights ago I ate a delicious Chinese Food Dinner at a cool little joint in Belle Chasse Louisiana along the west bank of the Great Mississippi River a few miles south of New Orleans.
Here’s my Fortune Cookie Message from that Dinner:
‘Now is the time to go ahead and pursue that love interest !’
HAPPY VALENTINE’S DAY !
Is this what you’re lookin’ for ?
1. Every single vehicle in the U.S. should have a tiny computer chip inside that measures every relevant driving metric possible such as accelerating, decelerating, speeding, braking, and turn signal use. That computer chip could then transmit all of this data directly to all of the automobile insurance companies who could then base your premium on it. Some of you would pay thousands of dollars for auto insurance every six months, while others of us would pay very little (due to extremely safe driving habits).
2. 14-time Olympic Gold Medalist Michael Phelps was caught smoking marijuana at the University Of South Carolina a few months ago, and the pictures of him doing so have recently made the rounds on the Internet. Who would have seen this coming ? (That’s me being sarcastic.) Let’s see here he’s already been arrested for underaged drunk driving (2004), and he’s a regular of the hard party scene in Hollywood and Las Vegas. What a total shock-a-roo ! 🙄
3. On paper today – the 03RD of February – is my 23RD anniversary as an employee of the Department Of Defense. Technically I became ‘Air Force property’ during the Summer of 1984, and I went in to Active Duty in June of 1985. The revised February 03RD 1986 anniversary date is due to a break-in-service in 1993 when I wasn’t affiliated with the Air Force. Don’t make me explain it any further. The detailed explanation is really quite boring.
4. One incredible edible egg contains about 215 milligrams of cholesterol. That’s more than 71% of the recommended limit of 300 milligrams per day. As part of my Lunch today I ate two hard-boiled eggs. Oh yeah I also enjoyed a rare Breakfast courtesy of McDonald’s consisting of a sausage, egg, and cheese biscuit sandwich and hash brown. Why does my chest suddenly hurt ? FLUFFY ! I’m comin’ to join ya honey !
5. OK let’s get serious here. To each and every one of you who have been following these ‘Tuesday Night Grab Bag O’ Thoughts’ every Tuesday night for the past 14 months with no interruptions whatsoever I sincerely thank you from the bottom of my heart and soul for living Life with me on this fantastic journey. We’ve been through a lot together. I’ve shared a part of my Life with you, and many of you have shared a part of your Life with me. It certainly doesn’t end here. It totally doesn’t end soon. This journey is infinite. While I won’t be here on the blog next Tuesday night you’ve still got all of my writings to date on here. Feel free to take a flashback through time, and revisit some of our Life experiences together over the past 14 months. I’ll be back in 2 weeks as we resume these Thoughts again.
This week I present to you the TOP 5 things that I’m most looking forward to on my upcoming Carnival cruise. Perhaps it will make you giggle out loud like a little girl:
5. Dressing up in my most elegant formal attire to shake hands with the Captain, introduce myself as ‘The Major’, and then indulge in rich hors d’oeuvres on fancy plates while watching old people dance the Charleston up on stage.
4. Dude – Those 100-minute 8-course dinners every single night of the week. Need I say more ? Hey I’m all about the food ! It’s all good like that !
3. Dancing out in the middle of the disco dance floor like it’s 1989 and I’m 22 years old. I still have some leftover dance moves in me that I never got to during the 1985 to 2005 time-frame. If I return to America’s Riviera in noticeable pain then you can pretty much surmise that I finally got to those dance moves out on the open seas. I may have made a total fool of myself, but it surely wouldn’t be the first time.
2. She’s sweet – I16 ! He’s on social security – O65 ! She’s got the sexy legs of Bingo – B11 ! Representing all of the States – G50 ! Middle-aged Bingo – N40 ! B I N G O ! ! !
1. Embarking on one long continuous ‘Major’s Walk-A-Thon’ up and down and all around all of the various decks from the time that I step on that cruise ship to the time that I step off of it. How else am I gonna work off the 4,750 calories that I’ll be consuming over the course of 5 MASSIVE meals per day ?
‘Monday Night Countdown’ returns in 2 weeks on Monday February 16TH 2009.
