I find some of the girls on Degrassi to be ridiculously hot.

Also, I am extremely ashamed to be watching Degrassi.

I haven't played disc golf in years. (And there is such a think as a mulligan in disc golf at least.)

You know I saw Tommy Tutone at the Seattle Kingdom (yeah, I'm old) he was the opening, opening act for the Rolling Stones on their "Tattoo You" tour. It was Tommy Tutone, J. Geils and then the Stones. Had kick ass seats before I knew anything about kick ass seats. End row center seats 5th row sec. 1. I'm sure I could have underhanded a softball and hit the stage.

I got those tickets at the local ticket outlet in Salem, Or. Was Meir & Frank Dept. store back in those days. My brother and I were sharing a house at the time and had had a party the night before. I was laying in the bath tub trying to rid myself from the banging going on in my head. The phone started ringing, I ignored it. It kept ringing, would stop for about 30 sec and then start again. After what seemed like freaking forever I went to unplug the damn thing and decided to give who ever was calling a piece of my mind. My brother starts yelling "you gotta go get Stones Tix! KGON just announced they're going on sale this morning!!!" I got dressed and hopped on my bike (rice burner, Honda I think) and rode downtown. I went down stairs to the ticket office and no one was there. I was pissed. I figured my brother was messing with head. Surely if Stones tix's were going on sale there would be a line. A lady, about 60, walked out of the office and I asked are you selling Stones tix's here this morning? She held up a box and said "some band, they just came in, they go on sale in 15mins." I stood there about 2mins and suddenly there was a line of about 2-300 people behind me. If I knew then what I know now I'd have bought the max available- 6. I bought 4 and the guy behind said "4? Seriously?" I had no idea what he meant by that for a long time.

The first Moody Blues tune I ever heard was "Go Now" ...and still one of my favs.

We,ve already said
Goodbye
Since you gotta go, oh you'd better
Go now go now, go now (Go now)
Before you see me cry
I don't want you to tell me just what you intend to do now
'Cause how many times do I have to tell you darlin', darlin'
I'm still in love with you now
Whoa-oh-oh-oh

We've already said
So long...

I set both smoke alarms off while cooking a steak under the broiler. There was barely ANY visible smoke or smell, not even a flareup, yet they both went off.

Eventually Bill O'Reilly is going to shut up, and I'll probably live to see it.

When Bill O'Reilly eventually shuts up, I won't know it since I don't listen to him.

I delivered a pork pie hat to him this afternoon. He introduced me to his boss or his client, Im not sure which.

He was all happy and excited with that goofy grin, and he held my hand.

Maaan.

I no longer believe that intelligence has any intrinsic value.....


And I'm 41 dating a 24 year old. I don't recommend it. I quite often just want to yell at her to get off of my damn lawn.

If you get tired of her trampling your stuff, send her over here...I tend to dislike my obsessive neighbors who think the lawns around their houses need to look like manicured golf greens....short of having your gf trample my lawn, my next best alternative seems to be a pet goat.

Tully Mars

I'm 45 and stick to 35 (30 with the right lady) and above for this very reason.

BTW- it works the other way too. If you see someone 15 yrs older then you there's likely to be issues as well. The issues will be a little different, but issues none the less. I was seeing a lady from Philly recently. She told me I'm not looking for a relationship, at all, just want a causal friend type thing. She told me "I'm ABSOLUTELY not looking for an exclusive relationship." In fact she told me she'd just ended a long relationship and was interested in letting loose... a lot. I was fine with this, actually worked well for me. I saw her quite regularly for a month or so then stopped by her house one day and some local guy was there. I thought he was doing some work or delivering something. I never gave him a second look, simply wasn't any of my business. Saw her the next day and she freaked because I wasn't jealous that she had another man at her house.

IMO, she's playing a game. A type of game I can't win. I still see her but now it's purely as friends and I've made it clear that's the way it's going to remain. I feel like I've had enough crazy in my life, I'm all full of crazy. No más para mí por favor.

I'm sick of trying to unscramble the wiring in these old Mexican houses down here. It's like trying to put together a jig-saw puzzle with a 1000 all white pieces.

Alighting for rest on the pine in front of me I have seen eagles, herons, and hummingbirds. Of course the hummingbirds are by far the smallest.
