Really I'm Gonna Babble

Balloon

Would you go up in a hot air balloon? Which is more scarier, a hot air balloon ride or a helicopter ride?

I twice been in a helicopter and had no problems at all.

I do know I would like to ride in a hot air balloon but I would be afraid.

I have problems with heights. I can ride any roller coaster. Doesn’t matter how high, how fast or how many loops I love it but I’m scared to ride giant ferris wheels.

Anniversary

Today is my 3rd anniversary here at JU. Traditionally I should get leather. (Oh the possibility of jokes you readers are thinking up right now)

Rose discovered JU first and even though she told me all about it I never visited because it was her discovery. A place I thought she could write her thoughts without having to worry about me reading it. But she kept asking me to join and try writing.

This is my 55th article. Not too many for 3 years. My goal was to write a blog every 2 weeks so at that rate I should have 78 articles. Hey, I’m slow.

I’m glad I came here. Not being a writer it was intimidating writing at first considering all the talented writers here. Hopefully I have improved since my 1st blog.

It’s been fun here commenting and getting to know some of you. Thanks to everyone who not only read my writings but left comments.

Breaking Bad

As anyone who knows me or anyone sees how fast I do JU Writing Challenges they know I’m a procrastinator. So if I were to say I finally saw the first season of the AMC show “Breaking Bad” they wouldn’t be surprised.

I have had it TIVO’d forever now. It’s only 7 episodes and every one is good.

The short version of the series is a high school chemistry teacher, who after finding out he has lung cancer decides to become a meth dealer to pay for chemo and to have money for his family when he dies.

It stars Bryan Cranston. He played the father on “Malcolm in the Middle”. He’s very good in it. I highly recommend it.

Lemonade

There are so many places here that sell homemade lemonade and damn it tastes so good. My mother can make some great lemonade. Mmmm I love it!

I found a recipe for lemonade online and I may try to make some soon but again I am a procrastinator.

I probably will try it this week though since it has been 100 degrees or more for a week straight now. The last 2 days it has been 105 and 106. I think I need to buy some lemons and lots of ice. Well, that or a pool.

Intelligence

I’ve always said some people who are book smart or school smart can lack any common sense. When you see a person who to you isn’t intelligent is it because he lacks education or is it because he never read enough or is it because they lack common sense.

I have seen people in here and in real life who have seemed very intelligent and some have college degrees and then when they talk it appears they have a total lack of common sense. It’s almost like you can’t believe it.

How important do you think it is to have common sense? Can common sense be taught?

____________________________________________________________________________

Naps

Does anyone take naps anymore? Do kids? Do adults?

Naps are supposed to be good for us. It’s been awhile since I taken a nap but I’ll be honest after a big meal I always feel like taking one.

Do you take naps? Do your kids?

Maybe I should take a nap more often. If I can’t fall asleep I’ll just turn it to an Adam Sandler movie.

Gorgeous

Well, I wasn’t hoping to end my “babbling” article with anything corny but …

Rose recently did write a JU Writing Challenge article about her conversation with the bathroom mirror and how she doesn’t like what she sees sometimes.

I just want her and everyone else here to know I still think she’s as gorgeous as ever.

She must be blind to not see how beautiful she truly is … well her blindness could explain why she’s with me.

Rose,

I have told you I'd like to, but maybe it's scarier than I think...lol.

Or maybe it's not as scary as I think.

I am glad that you decided to join in.

Me, too. I like the people here.

I saw the first episode, which I thought was pretty interesting. Maybe I should try seeing it again.

Yes, you should. Maybe if we get that box you can see it then.

Well, you know better than anyone that I lack some common sense. I think I am not as bad as I used to be (and don't try to dispute this!).

Well ... hey how's the weather outside?

I hate that some people look down on them, though (I have co-workers who think naps are for lazy people. They don't use the exact word "lazy", but they might as well. Maybe they're just ....jealous of us nappers...lol.

You need to learn how to NOT care what other people think.

What a big, goofy smile this put on my face.

You know I love that big goofy smile.

Maybe I could pay for it and stay on the ground, too.

They usually want at least 2 for a party, so if you want to go in halvsies, your Rose and my Rose can ride together. And we can drink cervezas while watching the wild blue yonder!

Roy,

Don't make a shit to me -I'd jump out of either one anyway

I bet your crazy ass would.

I'm thinking...

But the gimp's sleeping.

Then we're just gonna hafta wake him, ain't we?

Isn't that the best movie?

Don't forget the Jose Cuervo!

You gonna join me?

Thanks, Roy

FS,

Chris, it's good to read ya! You are one of the good ones (writers - even though, yeah, you procrastinator you), so don't forget that too!

BTW...Happy Anniversary! I noticed mine past the other day too.....

Thanks, Donna.

Oh I love anything with Bryan Cranston! He's such a good character actor! I loved, love Malcolm in the Middle! Cracks me up everytime and I enjoy the reruns! I started watching Breaking Bad but didn't finish the season. Other shows got in the way!LOL! I'll probably have to go online to see if they have it or watch for the DVD.

If you love Bryan Cranston then you really should see it. You'll like it.

[noticed my emphasis w/highlights? I have an amusing article to share when I can make the time to sit and write it!]

I see I'm not the only procrastinator here.

Maso,

Happy Anniversary, my procrastinating friend on the other side of the world. Now, pull your finger out and send me some logos, will ya

Thanks, mate.

I have drawn a few logos so far. I hoping to get around 10 or so before I send them off. My first attempts were very corporate-like.

Those who don't, regardless of their degrees or whatever, will never be smart, as far as I'm concerned.

Truer words were never spoken.

I'm a big fan of naps but rarely take them anymore. To be honest, I have so much energy these days, I just don't feel the need.

I used to take them but I rarely do now, and it's NOT because I have energy. I'm just so lazy I can't even nap.

This is a great post, mate. Wouldn't it be nice if it got featured (hint, hint, adminstrators).

Thanks, Mark but I don't think they think this article would pull in readers.

Kelly,

Happy Anniversary!

Thanks.

I think I would like to go up in a hot air balloon so I could watch Roy jump out...

Will he jump or will you push him?

Common sense...I wish it could be taught.

Me too, Kelly me too.

Naps are so delicious especially on a winter afternoon. Mexico has siestas..I think Italy does too, or did. Why shouldn't we?

We should have a nap time. Don't Spain also have naps? I'll have to ask, SanCho.

Lemonade is yummy...and you and Rose make a lovely couple.

Rose and I are a good team. I make us a couple and she makes us lovely.

Tova,

I don't have any desire to ride in a hot air balloon. I mean, think about it...its a friggin balloon! hahahah

See that's what I'm saying.

Common sense...all I can say is, sometimes I feel like a nut, sometimes I don't. heh. My husband swears I am missing the common sense gene when it comes to things like safety.....but I'm learning.

Don't sell yourself short, Tova. I mean come on it's not like you'll give some strange man holding a package a ride somewhere.

Not a big lemonade fan unless there is something a bit stronger in it.

Well, Roy and I are gonna put some Cuervo in it. You're welcome to join us if you want.

Loved the article.....personal blogging yeah!

Happy JU Anniversary.

Thanks

Well since it's so damn hot how 'bout some margaritas instead? At least a few pitchers.
