The gods condemned Sisyphus to ceaselessly push a boulder to the top of a mountain, only for the stone to fall back down the mountain before reaching the top. There is no more dreadful a punishment than futile and hopeless labor.
But, it's an intersting thing when the only thing new or exciting about your life is when it all comes crashing back down on top of you...
i don't have anything particularly random to ponder today, but i didn't want to pass of the chance to post this picture from Trixie and Dixie's daycare.
those kids don't seem to realize that drinking and smoking ruins your looks. sadly, their bad habits have already made them look older: these kids are only 9 weeks old.
- i wonder if the birthers, who claim the Prez's Hawaiian birth certificate is fake are going to be equally pissed about the fact that Crazy Orly Taitz coughed up this totally faked Republic of Kenya birth certificate? nah, of course not.
- a mere 24 hours after asking "whatever happened to tempest bledsoe" i found out that she and her boyfriend are going to be on a new reality show called Househubands of Hollywood. they aren't married and they don't have kids. but he's a hollywood househusband. funny: in my neck of the woods, we call that a Lazy Ass Man Who Won't Work.
- if i took a national poll, what percentage of americans have screwed themselves over renting movies from red box?
- if they didn't take any naps all day today, why are trixie and dixie still awake at 10:42 pm?! this reminds me of the horror that was my maternity leave....please, i'm so tired. so very tired.
- how can i get will demps to notice me?
....i can do that.
- how do you pronounce acai? ah-kye? ah-see? ah-say? ah-sye-ee? fraud?
- am i the only person who say that infomercial where the guy soaked up spilled soda and then wrung it back into a glass because times are hard???
- why don't the "your baby can read" people realize that memorizing a word and being able to actually read the word are totally different? i mean, after $200, can they tell us the baby will be able to spell?
- how come no one is actually happy to see cops until they get punched in the head by a mugger?
- are people mad about what pat buchanan said or the reason he said it?
- so how about beating your wife with a belt is a class A misdemeanor in TX...but killing dog brings serious prison time.
- two words: keri hilson!!!!
(negative points for getting knocked on her face and having kanye and ne-yo fighting over her...)
- if the work week consists of 40 hours, at what hour will i be able to say i have had a coworker talk crazy to me this week? 4? 2? 27?
- if arturo gatti's wife strangled him to death with the strap of her purse, shouldn't she get his championship belt by default?
- how many different items did billy mays make infomercials for? i'm pretty sure that after oxyclean, orange clean, and life insurance he was totally making a play for wilfordbrimley's "diabeetus" gig.
- what in the hell is walmart doing trying to sell infant sandals for $10? do they not realize they are the home of the roll back price? domain to thousands, nay, millions of financially and spiritually broken parents? i need a tiny shoe of sketchy quality for $5 or less, walmart! tighten up!
- why did tom hanks explode but peter scolari didn't? Henry was funny, too, dammit!
- what does michael bay have against black people? and no, hiring Tyrese does not make it okay...but you know,thanks for that anyway.
- i was watching mtv last night and Sway was talking to Liza Minnelli on the phone about MJ. she then passed the phone to...Usher...and he shared his thoughts as well. what tha hell was Usher doing with Liza? i mean, i know he likes older women, but damn. this question continues to haunt me.
- how awesome would it be if street gangs danced it out in deserted parking lots like in Beat It? and what do you do after the dance routine is over? go to Sonic for a Route 66?
so here we are, the start of another week. and with it, more of the same: traffic, daycare/mommy politics, landmines at work, more traffic, dinner, baths, baby bedtime, exhaustion.
add wine liberally, repeat.
i thought i'd start my weeks with some random musings. if it crossed my mind this weekend, i'm gonna talk about it here. why? because it's my blog, that's why.
- what happened to Michael Keaton? how does one go from majah majah somebody in the 80s and 90s to vapor in the 00s? did i miss the Those We Lost This Year montage he was on at the end of the year a while back or something? just saying.
- can we all just agree that Tila Tequila is mentally ill? i mean, you got your garden variety crazy, your needs some medicine crazy, and then you have Tequila crazy. Tiny over here is desperately in need of some deep analysis followed by a "stop being crazy pills" chaser, stat.
- yeah, upon deeper thought, i totally should have checked that manager at family dollar. damn, return something without a tag on it and it's like a stinkin crisis. this bastid got bent outta shape over $8. yes. EIGHT DOLLARS. and i had the receipt! but then again, in family dollar, $8 is like $927.32 in Macy's or some shit...
- little tiny babies are the BUSINESS! the tiny clothes, the tiny diapers, the tiny bums are just so amazingly precious! however, i'm not willing to put myself through the emotional, mental, physical, or financial Armageddon that would accompany having some little feet and a little bitty belly to kiss. i just give thanks to GOD i didn't turn into a baby groupie until after i had kids. otherwise, it would just be inappropriate. i would disgust myself.
- and speaking of kids, why do people in this area refer to their children as "chaps?" chaps?! where did this colloquialism come from? what does it mean? WHY DO I USE IT? I'M NOT FROM NORTH CAROLINA!!!
- why was kathy griffin...griffith?....asking mc hammer's son about his bankruptcy? bitch, you crazy...why don't you go ask Ivanka Trump about her father's bankruptcies? OH YES I DID!
funniest quote of the week: "im out looking for some crumbs to throw against my tonsils!" - friend, driving to buy lunch!
so as the week begins, try to keep this in mind: love is HIGHLY underrated. view your friends and loved ones...and even those bastids you can't stand...through a compassionate lens. and remember to take Siouxsie and the Banshees' advice.
