I've started writing the blog four times. I get a paragraph done then edit and start over. I didn't like the way I was describing something I read in the financial section about declining jobs. Postal carrier, real estate agent, stock broker, toll taker, newspaper reporter, and video store clerk were listed as jobs that were downsized over the last few years.
While technology may be hurting the video stores it enables streaming movies. The only thing worse than watching a lousy video would be going out in the cold to get it.
Saturday night was watched the movie "Bridesmaids." Thank goodness I didn't have to move off the couch. Push a couple buttons and there it is. Wanda and I both thought it was pretty bad. I don't think a bunch of women in wedding and bridesmaid gowns crapping in the sink or in the middle of the street is funny. The frozen peas on the back, that was funny. A bright spot of thirty seconds in two hours of "entertainment."
Now I'm sitting here watching the cursor flash and all I can think of is, "The Famous Idaho Potato Bowl." Maybe I need to turn off the television?
Nope, that didn't help.
The other day I watched a documentary about Ron Galella. He was dubbed "the Godfather of the U.S. paparazzi culture" by Time magazine. I remembered a little of his Jackie Onassis stalking exploits but nothing about his getting punched out by Marlon Brando.
He started taking photos of the "rich and famous" in the late sixties.
The documentary ended with a shot of his photos on display in a New York museum. A girl around sixteen was walking through the exhibits viewing the pictures. She didn't know who two thirds of the people were, and why would she? All these "famous" people are unknown forty years later. Ah yes, there is hope for the Kardashian's.
I think I know what caused my my creative block. This morning I shaved backwards. I don't know why, but I did the left side of my face first. I always (except this morning) do right side, left side and neck. I save my neck for last in case I slip and cut my throat. I would hate to go to a hospital with half a shave. I use a safety razor but still cut myself occasionally.
Every year around this time I give some thought to buying an electric razor. I doubt I ever will as they're pretty expensive. Maybe if I was twenty years younger I would? I don't think I would get my investment back now.
A pet peeve of ours; people that go out in public wearing sleepwear. I guess that's why someone designed, drum roll please, Pajama Jeans. Yes, for $39.95 you can purchase a pair of pajamas that look like blue jeans. They are soft, they are comfy, and you can go shopping in them and no one will know you're wearing pajamas. Excuse me while I go scream.
Police in Colorado said a man who brought his horse into a Safeway food store was later arrested for fighting at a bar.
The horse owner insisted it was a seeing eye horse and said, "all I wanted was some beer, and the horse is over twenty one." "What's the world coming to when you can't take your horse out for a drink?"
Florida officials said they arrested a woman accused of attacking her ex-boyfriend with the antlers of a mounted deer head.
The twenty year old man told the police he and his ex-girlfriend still live together for financial reasons and for the good of their three year old daughter.
The woman apparently became angry Tuesday when he went outside to call his current girlfriend so she locked him out of the home and punched him in the face when he attempted to enter by removing a window screen.
He then attempted to break down the door and was confronted inside by the woman wielding the mounted deer head. She "began striking him in the face and body with the ends of the antlers until she lost her grip dropping it to the floor," the sheriff's office report states. She was charged with domestic battery and ordered held without bail.
............they live together for financial reasons and the good of their daughter. How stupid can you get?
Just when you thought maybe you had heard it all.....
Police say burglars in two Illinois counties have added deer and elk antlers to the more common heist of computers, jewelry, televisions and stereos.
In all, 89 racks of antlers have been stolen in residential break-ins since mid-November in Jersey and Macoupin counties just north of St. Louis.
