Ok, I'm sure everyone has seen this dopey commercial featuring the little girl who is embarrassed because her father doesn't drive a hybrid vehicle. So she wants to be dropped off a block away from the movie theater.
I don't know about you. But this ad makes me want to go out and buy a gas-guzzling hummer.
Honestly, how old is this girl - 10, 11? First of all, I find it hard to believe that your average 10-year-old even knows what a hybrid is. And even if one did, I don't think there would be an elitist attitude surrounding those who have them. "My parents drive hybrids. Yours don't. I'm better than you. Ha ha ha!"
Please...
Listen to this girl yap. "People in that part of town are riding bikes and have hybrids and stuff."
Yeah, every city has a hybrid side of town, don't they? If I were that dad I would walk back in the house and tell this little brat to hop on HER bike and get to the theater on her own.
Sickening!

AMANDA
I have a friend named Amanda. I've actually known her for 11 years now. Wow. Anyway, a few years ago she got divorced. And she said that at the time, whenever she told people she was getting a divorce, the person she was talking to somehow felt it was appropriate to start bashing her soon-to-be-ex.
Apparently this is very common. What an odd phenomenon this is - and how unbelievably rude as well!
Amanda surmised that this is just the way some people try to be supportive.
It's not.

CHINESE PROVERBS
So I took my two daughters to my new favorite restaurant - Dragon Gourmet in the hustling, bustling beautiful downtown of Grafton.
And to think, a few months ago, I would never dream of eating Chinese food. I had a bad experience at a Chinese restaurant about eight years ago. It really had nothing to do with the restaurant itself. Whatever got me sick began prior to entering the establishment that night. But ever since then, I've associated that sickness with Chinese food.
But I've overcome my fear. And now I can't get enough of sweet 'n sour chicken or sweet 'n sour pork. Pour on a little hot mustard sauce and I've got a great Homer Simpson drool going.
Anyway, when the check arrives, they provide you an orange slice for every person, as well as a fortune cookie. My three-year-old always wants to open up the cookie herself, but wants me to read it. Tonight was interesting.
"Daddy, daddy, what's it say?"
"Avoid senseless contradictions with others."
Her response? "Cooool!"
That made me laugh seeing as she had no clue what I was talking about.
As for my fortune? "A romantic evening awaits you tonight."
It's 9:23. I'm still waiting.

NEW SOUL
I’m a new soul
I came to this strange world
hoping I could learn a bit about how to give and take.
But since I came here
felt the joy and the fear
finding myself making every possible mistake.
la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la…
I’m a young soul
in this very strange world
hoping I could learn a bit about what is true and fake.
But why don’t please trying to comunnicate
finding just that love is not always easy to make.
la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la…
This is a happy end
cause’ you don’t understand
everything you have done
why’s everything so wrong.
This is a happy end
come and give me your hand
I’ll take your far away.
I’m a new soul
I came to this strange world
hoping I could learn a bit about how to give and take.
But since I came here
felt the joy and the fear
finding myself making every possible mistake.
la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la…

NOTE FROM A FAN
Copied without permission, from a person I haven't laid eyes on in probably 15 years. I don't think this person would give a shit that I copied it publically though. But they're good words, albeit not the easiest to follow. And to think, the words came from someone who I wasn't exactly kind to on my classmate blog.
Hey Burt…
I finally got to reading some of you stuff on your personal blog and just found out about your marital issues. I would have to believe what you are going through is very difficult. But… you have YOUR life, a short time here on Earth. Hopefully we’re lucky enough to get 60, 70, 80 years or more. LIVE IT, AND LIVE IT HARD! We’re almost half way fuckin’ done!! Be a little selfish… do some things for yourself. Explore! Be a father! Live! Enjoy what the world has to offer! Of all of the people I know, you are one of the few who has real “balls” and can live life to the fullest. I don’t care if you are shy or if you feel your social skills aren’t up to par… fuck that! You are 10x smarter than most people I know. LIVE for Christ sake. You can even act like a dick if you want!!! I know your significant other is the love of you life… so what! Live for yourself for a while. I know that living in this world without the companion that you’ve become so comfortable with is difficult, but DO IT! This could be the start of something huge for you. You may get the opportunity to do some wacked you things that would never get to do as a faithful husband and the father of 2 lovely girls. Live your life for YOU and your two little angels… go do the shit you want to do. Feel free to develop a chip on your shoulder… be a G Damn jackass is you want. Get a fuckin’ Harley and explore the countryside!! Like I said, LIVE, AND LIVE HARD! Chances are that at some point in time you may stumble upon your true soul mate. You may look back in 20 years and have no regrets!! Nikki sounded like a great person… I certainly can’t judge. But if she wants to go… I’m not sure that belief can be changed.
I feel for you my man and wish you the best. Burt, you are a good person… live your life to the fullest!
XXXXXXX

FORMER JAILBAIT
I know what makes me comfortable,
And I know what makes me tick,
And when I need to get my way,
I know how to pour it on thick..
All the rest is out of my hands
I will learn to let go - what I cannot change.
I will learn to forget - what I cannot change.
I already love - what I cannot change.
But I will change, I will change.
Whatever I, whatever I can.
And I know what makes me tick,
And when I need to get my way,
I know how to pour it on thick..
All the rest is out of my hands
I will learn to let go - what I cannot change.
I will learn to forget - what I cannot change.
I already love - what I cannot change.
But I will change, I will change.
Whatever I, whatever I can.

SCHOOLHOUSE ROCKY - A CHIP OFF THE BLOCK
Knowledge is power
Don’t bite the hand that feeds you
Smile
Learn
Your mind’s a flower
Ever-blossoming
The road less traveled
Can reap the most rewards
Arrive at that fork
Which way to turn?
Either path is right
Make it so
Where is your garden growing?
Always feeding
Always burgeoning
Always pullulating
Look forward
Let them follow
Take no victory
Simply transcend, welcome and share
Don’t bite the hand that feeds you
Smile
Learn
Your mind’s a flower
Ever-blossoming
The road less traveled
Can reap the most rewards
Arrive at that fork
Which way to turn?
Either path is right
Make it so
Where is your garden growing?
Always feeding
Always burgeoning
Always pullulating
Look forward
Let them follow
Take no victory
Simply transcend, welcome and share
