Random Thoughts

Hello and TRU
It's so good to know that I'm not the only one feeling this way.

I know that I'm residing in the South....

but with the exception of (for some God forsaken reason.....) Kryptonite and Whatchu know about dat.... (I know.... I know It's just the infectious beat and rhythm....)


I don't like Southern Rap... It all sounds the same...

and the lyrics are less than intriguing.... to be nice...



Peace,
Virtue

You know something is wrong when today's music makes you nostalgic for the glory days of Death Row records...

It's pretty pathetic when the highlight of my day is finding a gas station selling regular unleaded gas for $2.72 per gallon!

It's pretty pathetic when the highlight of my day is reading about other people's highlights.

Why do people ask if you're awake?

Dawg, you found gas for $2.72/gallon???

What city is gas $2.72? I'm paying $3.00 and I'm sure next time at the pump it will be more!

How come wrong numbers are never busy? hmmmmmmmm

There are men on The View in underoos.

I'm not all that sure if boys wear underoos these days.

*shakeshead*

Peace....

There should be a federal law banning credit card companies from sloliciting 18 year olds on college campuses. They know that they need the money and have little to no income...Why are they there???

Simply to help ruin the credit of a person that is alreeady assuming alot of debt from student loans???

They start their stalking in high school.

I still wonder how companies got my personal information.

Question: if it was proved absolutely beyond all doubt that there are (and never were) no aliens or life forms on other planets or galaxies... how disappointed would you be?

Smells can really take you back sometimes.

I got a whiff of some gjetost. A smell my nose hasn't met since I was four at the most.

I got all nostalgic and stuff and found myself grabbing a couple of blocks.

It's not until now that I remembered that I don't love gjetost all that much.

Weird texture. Ugly color. I couldn't really remember the taste, though.

I used to be intrigued by the smell. I didn't really like to eat it.

I just tried some plain. I suppose it's okay in itty-bitty quantities once in a blue moon.

It's not one of those everyday stuff and I can't think of any recipes I can sneak it into.

It seems that I'm the only one around who doesn't find it disgusting.

Ma looked at me as if I tried to poison her.

At this pace these blocks will last decades.

My sensibilities tell me that the fact that there is life on Earth proves that there is life throughout the universe. In the same way that many don't believe that there is life anywhere else, even if it were proved, I still wouldn't believe it.

I don't know about men/boys, but they make them for women now. I, um, have a pair. Shut up.

I stared directly into the sun today without squinting and I was not blinded. Tomorrow: sneezing with my eyes WIDE open. *shakes fists at lying bastards from childhood*

*points and laughs*

Hehe. It's still weird to see a guy over the single digits with roos.

Women can wear Hello Kitty panties and still hold our heads up high, tho.

. . .I hope.

Why do they make all the Indian Customer Service Reps change their names to something more "American?"

Customer Service Rep: [Heavy Indian Accent] Hi, my name is Chad. [/Heavy Indian Accent]

Me: Oy.

Makes me uneasy to be lied to right off the bat.

I think it's physically impossible to listen to the blues and not move.

I saw an interesting interview last night with Dave Chappelle on "The Actors Studio." Admittedly, I have only seen snippets of Dave's shows, which were very funny. Last night I saw a serious side of Dave that reminded me in spirit of Richard Pryor. Both men seem troubled but able to release their frustrations and messages in an ingenious way.

Normally, I would not have watched the entire show. Dave however, kept me interested. He shared his truths, and experiences in Hollywood and growing up in DC/Maryland. It was his seemingly honesty and courage to say to millions of people what was on his mind without sugarcoating. I admired his spirit, and could relate in so many ways. There was a message in his interview that I needed to hear.

Dave ended his interview with a sentence that I wholeheartedly believe.

"The truth is permanent and everything else falls by the wayside." Dave Chappelle

Peace....


It is amazing how so many people think that they have completely figured you out after a few glances...

Just amazing...


People are rarely so easy to figure out.

Or in the case of being on-line, a few words.

There is a long multi-legged fast moving prehistoric cave-dwellingish insect in my room.

I thought I smashed the thing a while ago, but it's here.

I sprayed it with outdoor bug slayer spray and some legs fell off. They are still stuck on my wall.

It's sick.

But I can't find the bug itself.

I think the bug still got away.

I grew up as an ugly duckling and didn't blossom until well in my twenties.

It still deeply surprises me when people comment on my beauty...especially those who I find to be beautiful.

I'm highly greatful and humbled that the most difficult thing I face in my life is coming to terms with such comments.

ms quiet one... from what I've read of your posts... you sound beautiful on the inside... so I'm sure your beauty more than shines on the outside.

one day I'll recount the true-life story of my ex-neighbour, whose lifetime of outer beauty created an ugly old woman. A very sad tale from which I learned a huge life's lesson.

Thank you too!

I look forward to your story.

The cost of a Sonicare Elite 7500 is still over $100.

So difficult to justify $105 for a toothbrush.

*weeps*

And the i8500!

*BAWLS*

thanx alot for this topic :0)

*1, 2, 3*

Awwwwwwwww!!!!

it occurs to me that white democrats are lost and floundering because

tbey don't believe in the things they speak
they hold the same beliefs as republicans
they find find comfort in words like "centrist" "moderate" and "right leaning"

who needs a moderately progressive platform?

How much longer can the media focus on missing white girls? jonBenet, Natalie holloway, laci peterson....
this probably sounds mean but

does the whole country have to focus on them 24/7?

how long? as long as it attracts and maintains advertising revenue... and people talk about it.
I sometimes think the non-stop media focus - and audience attention - on children such as jonBenet is a weirdo form of voyeurism/virtual pedophilia.
First it was torture-the parents by media without solid evidence, vaguely reminiscent of the dingo-took-my-baby saga in Australia. For some reason a lot of people wanted the mother to be guilty - when eventually she was found innocent but not before years of harrowing trial-by-media and uninformed public opinion - perverse.

Why, oh why did these people waste money flying this nut case-John Carr-back over here. You know dayum well that mental case did NOT kill Jon Benet. The man had on MAKEUP when he was arrested, for Pete's sake! Can anyone guess how many more high profile crimes he will confess to?????

I guess that's one way to get champagne & seafood flying Business Class... and probably a TV talk contract is floating around... I say it was a career move!

this is a random fact I came across today which I find quite profound....

Papua New Guinea - that big island up above the Australian continent - has given birth to about eleven hundred living languages... and apparently 1 in every 6 languages spoken on the planet come from this island. These are languages, not dialects.

So says Mark Abley's recent book.

Peace....

Yep....

I'll get around to it...Just be patient...Can you do that???

Yeah You....


No...Not you...

Uh huh...YOU...

They were walking in the park & holding hands. My first thought was how nice it was to see a black couple enjoying each other's company.

When I walked passed them I could see their faces, and was surprised to see how much older [than the man], the woman appeared to be. When he stopped to kiss her in the mouth, I quickly turned away -- it was a nauseating sight to 'almost' behold.

Now, if the age difference had been the other way around [older man, younger woman] I would not have given it a second thought. As it was, I couldn't help but wonder what the hell was he doing with such an old lady.

How could he have a family with someone so much older??? [as if THAT were any of my business..lol]

But seriously, she was a lot older.

I am generally an open-minded person, but it seemed so wrong for him [imo] to be romancially involved with a woman so much older [at least she appeared to be].

I'm terrible, I know.

and I almost feel guilty for having such negative & hypocritical thoughts about strangers.

Ah well.
