During normal lapses of insanity…


Getting the word out, help for Anissa.

Hope for Anissa is here, now there’s more than prayer necessary. She’s been to the brink and is now on the road to recovery, but she and her family still needs a lot of help.

From TheBloggess.com:

You’ve all heard me talking about my friend Anissa before. She’s amazing and she was once generous to me when she didn’t have to be so now I’m trying to do the same.
She’s one of us and is recovering from multiple strokes and after many months is finally coming home (yay!) but she’s currently hemiplegic and her copay for outpatient therapy is $100 a day for the next 40 days. She’s a mom with small children and they need help. That’s why I’m asking you to donate if you can. $10 is ideal but even $5 will help. And here’s what I’m giving back. See the sponsorship thing at the bottom of this post? Leave a comment below saying that you donated even a dollar and in two weeks I’ll pick one person at random and will pimp you (or the site of your choice) for free as the sponsor of the weekly wrap-up. Click here to donate directly to her family or if that link won’t work for you then you can paypal it to this address: anissa.mayhew@gmail.com.

Bottom line, if you have a spare $5 or $10. Please help them out.

Reading the Bloggess…

So anyhow, if you hear me mention “Jenny”, that’s the Bloggess. A very popular blogger that has an amazing knack for making you laugh at a lot of things you probably shouldn’t laugh at.

A long time ago. I had this friend…no seriously…and he (Robert Ellis aka “Loki”) and I were a terror unto the world. One of the greatest things about his antics was his point of view of the world. It was like living with Yakko the Animaniac. That seemingly unfathomable point of view…he was always right there to give me a dose of it. Jenny is like that too, her blog is raw streaming thought and so unbearably entertaining that I equate her blog with a good Robin Williams monologue. Some people are offended by her. Those are the same people that troll the net looking for things that will piss them off. The rest of us just love the hell out of her point of view in the world. Check out her blog! 😉

If you’re still wondering, here is a taste of The Bloggess on Twitter:

In fact, that should be a new rule. You aren’t allowed to read my blog until after you’ve had a drink.

Unless you’re an alcoholic. Then you get a pass. Maybe huff some paint first.

TheBloggess16 hours ago
Or not. Just a suggestion. Not a good one.

Mormons aren’t allowed to huff paint? Why does anyone ever become a Mormon?

TheBloggess16 hours ago
Special note to any impressionable stupid people following me: Huffing paint will kill you. Sniff glue instead.

Elmer’s glue. The kind with the cow on the front. That shit is bad-ass.




Funny things…

…always happen to me when I go to this one grocery store. Of course I have no idea why and that is precisely why I continue going there.

First, apparently I am not the only person that is a huge fan of onion bagels, because as I was walking away from the bread case that magically always has one batch of onion bagels left, a lady comes dashing up and looks in the case, then looks at me…and the look on her face was pure disappointment. I turn around and ask if it was the onion bagels she was looking for, her face lights up, but then stops and says, Oh no…I could never take them from someone else that likes them. Apparently the look on my face was a dead giveaway that despite being the cool guy and offering up the bagel, I was sorely depressed at losing the bagel 😉 Having tried to give the bagels and failed…I moved on.

Second, about ten minutes later, I am getting angry because with an aisle dedicated to healthy canned food, it is a huge ordeal to go low sodium on everything. A girl walks up to me and asks, “Excuse me, are you by any chance Tony?”
“As a matter of fact, I would be Tony.”
“Okay, thanks!”
…and she walks away.
Now what I am guessing is that someone recognized me that wasn’t altogether kosher with coming up and saying hello. Thats cool.

This is cool because otherwise, I have a stalker or something and proof that the universe simply isn’t right keeps on dropping right in my lap.

Third, as I am loading groceries, I notice that someone in a really nice looking Hummer parked next to me. I am thinking “Jeez everyone in an H1 or a Cayenne has to show me up.” The guy who brings in the carts is walking my direction and say loudly, “Man that is a beauty!” and the lady drivig the Hummer instinctively says “Thank you very much!”…the guy says “Sorry ma’am I meant the HHR!”

Yeah. Shown up by little ol’ SS. The look on that lady’s face was priceless 😉

THATS why I go to this grocery store 😉

Thought I would share the weekend with everyone.
Came to the conclusion that living alone sucks the big one. I am simply not entertained enough.
