Someone already took DRKJEDI on me...

Just a whole bunch of random notes tonight though they all seem to have one main topic linking them.

Note # 1: Saw a license plate today “LV2SCRP” with a license plate holder that read “I’m addicted to scrapbooking”. On the list of things I feel that people should advertise this ranks just below wearing a t-shirt that reads “Valtrex changed my life.” I mean, it’s not like I have a bumper sticker on my car that reads “My other car is a Milennium Falcon.”

Note # 2: However, if anyone wants to get me the Lego motorized AT-AT for Christmas I won’t complain. It even comes with a Lego Luke who can hang from the AT-AT. It’s like the coolest thing ever. I’d ask Santa for it but since that fat bastard still hasn’t brought me my fire truck I won’t even bother asking this year. Where is the criteria for being nice posted anyway? I’m sick of being told at the end of the year “You’re just not nice enough” when I have never been allowed to see how my final evaluation has been tallied. Damn qualitative systems.

Note # 3: Ok, so while driving home from the airport I had to listen to the last disc of my five random discs for the week, which was Natalie Imbruglia. How horrible is it that I still really like the song “Torn”? I mean after hours in an airport and stuck in a plane I was bouncing around listening to this completely artificial song by a totally plastic singer. I pride myself on being a fan of music that no one, and I mean absolutely no one, enjoys and I still find myself smiling at this damn song. I guess this is why I’ll never be a music critic. At the end of the day I have to admit that there is a place for a song like Torn.

Note # 4: Great news in the “Nature Boy” Ric Flair won his match tonight and thus does not have to retire. Not that I have ever seen a wrestler lose a retirement match and actually retire. Mick Foley retired for a grand total of three weeks before returning to the ring. Still, the guy is the best wrestler who ever lived and even though he is at a point where he really should wear a shirt at all times I still want to see him wrestle. Just have this lead up to him retiring on a big stage getting the respect he deserves, that’s all I ask.

Note # 5: Yes, I do seem to have misplaced my shame. I assume it is somewhere in my apartment amongst the trivia books and pop culture encyclopedias. It’s amazing what one will reveal online. I think that I’ve simply reached the point where I just don’t care what other people think of me. I am who I am and I am damn happy with who I’ve become. If people think I’m a geek because I can recite every episode of Monty Python from memory so be it. They’d be right of course but I still don’t care.

Note # 6: I promise, I’ll have the track listing for Battling the Current Volume 3 by the end of the week. I have about half of it in my head right now and should get it all organized relatively soon. Much like my novel, I have a beginning and an ending. It’s the middle that is giving me grief.
