Sunday night while watching television, my GF asked me if I noticed anything about her socks. I'm pretty proud of myself, despite watching "Desperate Housewives", more specifically Eva Longoria, I did notice that she had on two different socks. Now had it been Salma Hayek on the screen I might not had notice if one foot was bare and the other in a clown shoe. It wasn't as bad as she thought. Both were white, the same length and since the only difference was the color stitching at the toes...

How much does music play into our lives? Isn't there certain songs that bring back memories? While channel surfing on the radio, on the way home from running errands, I hear the Chris Isaak song "Wicked Games". I have always referred to it as the "I Don't Want To Fall in Love" song. And you know how songs can bring back memories. It brought back this memory. It was late July of 2004. It was a typical Midwestern summer day, which meant it was 90 degrees and humid as hell, which meant I was ...

I bet it happens quite often. Much more than we realize. Here's my latest 'misheard' story. The other day my brother and my mother were discussing movies. My mother had just bought the movie "Crash", and was asking my brother if he seen it. She said she liked it, which if you knew my mother, would be somewhat of a shock. My mother's movie taste is more like a guy's. She loves action on top of action. Her philosophy is: Less talk more action. If somebody hasn't fought, been shot at, been ch...

How do you act when a stranger says "Hi"? Do you say "Hi" back? Do you ignore the person? When it's a nice day out and I'm feeling in a great fun mood I like saying "Hi" to people as I'm running errands. Since I drive 99% of the time I'm honking my horn at people walking or people waiting for the bus. I'm waving and telling them, "Hey ! How you doing?" or "Hey hey! What do you say?" Most people wave back with a look on their face that is saying, "Who in the Hell was that?!" I guess th...

Here is what happened to me one day last week. Before I get to my rants. Let me start by saying when I get frustrated at traffic jams, grocery stores or wherever one of my favorite things to say is "COME ON!" I usually follow it with "What the Hell is going on?" or "Can't people drive in this town" or "Jesus! I don't believe this". My first rant. I'm driving down the road. No cars in front of me no cars behind me I'm the only car going in my direction. Yet a driver decides to pull out ...

When I was a mere lad I always wanted facial hair. A cool moustache or a finely trimmed beard. The thought of shaving, to me, was the coolest. When I turned 13 my moustache started slowly coming in and my chin had a few hairs. Not exactly a beard though. In fact, if you were more than 5 feet away you would have thought it was a food stain from lunch or dinner. Let's just say I could have used a cat to shave. Fast forward to present day and how I miss my younger days. I'm sick sick sick of ...

Looking at the paper to see what's playing at the dollar movies I see the movie "The Fog". A remake of John Carpenter's 1980 movie. It got me thinking of my experience with "The Fog". Several years ago a friend and I decided to enjoy some nightlife after work. We worked in a small town that had one really happening place. So of course we head there first. When we get there it's not crowded at all, in fact it's almost dead. Immediately we're bummed. Where's all the women? We then head fo...

Here are some jokes my brother sent in a e-mail last year. SANTA'S BAD DAY One particular Christmas season a long time ago, Santa was getting ready for is annual trip, but there were problems everywhere. Four of his elves got sick, and the trainee elves did not produce the toys as fast as the regular ones so Santa was beginning to feel the pressure of being behind schedule. Then Mrs. Claus told Santa that her mom was coming to visit. This stressed Santa even more. When he went to har...
