The Mondays: 10 Random Thoughts For the Week of August 24, 2009

1. I really wish that Google Maps had an "Avoid Ghetto" option.

2. I really don't understand the statement "I don't need to drink to have fun."  Sure, no one does but why would you start a fire with flint and some sticks when you can use a lighter?

3. You know in Los Angeles the only difference between eccentric and just straight-up crazy is one million dollars.

4. Bad decisions make for the best stories.

5. You can agree with me or you can be wrong.

6. As I get older and find myself in mixed company at a dinner party or happy hour at a bar, when someone is telling me a story al I can think about is that I can't wait for them to finish so that I can tell my own story that is not only better, but also more directly involves me.

7. I can't remember that last time I wasn't at least a little bit tired.

8. When did Facebook become better friends with absolutely everyone I have ever met in my entire life?  I have had great friends who have gotten engaged, pregnant, had twins, bought a new house... who told me?  Facebook.  This nosy priss is really starting to get on my nerves.

9. Was learning cursive really necessary?

10. I used to think that "anal leakage" was the worst possible side effect I had heard thrown into the mix of those super cheesy drug commercials we see on TV... but then recently there was a new one that took the cake:  "May cause thoughts of suicide and / or suicide." Um, that doesn't seem like a side effect... that seems like a pretty serious EFFECT!

Well, now it's back to the daily grind.  I have a Monday to make it through and four other lovely little days that follow in rank and file.  I will check back next week with more random thoughts.  I never know what the week will bring me and, frankly, neither do you.

And remember, it's all fun and games until someone loses an eye.  Then it's just a game -- Find the Eye!
