Bubblegum Diaries: Staring at the blank screen

Staring at the blank screen

I must have started this post a dozen times, only to erase what I wrote cuz it wasn't going anywhere or it wasn't relevant or whatever.

Truth is my brain was pummeled all afternoon at work so any kind of thinking right now just plain hurts. I'm fuzzing out on hot chocolate and wine, it's pouring freezing rain outside, my heart is on the other side of the Atlantic and if I have to write another list I shall scream.

I want to read the entire Anne of Green Gables series again. And Little House on the Prairie, the original books. Remember the Hardy Boys and Nancy Drew novels? I might give those a crack too, for no other reason than the sheer joy and pleasure of reading something that makes me feel good like warm apple pie and no chores.

Sometimes I think people are becoming book snobs... plowing through reading just because it makes them feel smart.

Well duh, what a waste of time.

Right now my bedtime book is Eat, Pray, Love and it's truly a gem - not read enough to give it two thumbs up yet but it looks good. This from a girl who loves Reader's Digest because it's babyfood for the brain, a must before zzz's.

Someday I'll renew my subscription... just don't have enough time to read anything anymore. Damn internet. It's eating up my life chomp chomp chomp.

This is a strange wine. 2002 Algerian red of some sort. Not sure if I like it yet, and really? Don't care. Just put me to sleep already, may this day end... and bring me one day closer to seeing Vegas again.

What do you get if you mix a rooster with peanut butter?

Property is theft. Nobody “owns” anything. When you die, it all stays here.

The planet is fine. The people are fucked.

The real reason that we can’t have the Ten Commandments in a courthouse: You cannot post “Thou shalt not steal,” “Thou shalt not commit adultery,” and “Thou shalt not lie” in a building full of lawyers, judges, and politicians. It creates a hostile work environment.

The only good thing ever to come out of religion was the music.
“When Will Jesus Bring the Pork Chops?” This title offends all three major religions, and even vegetarians!

And now, in the interest of equal time, here is a message from the National Institute of Pancakes: It reads, and I quote, “Fuck waffles.”

Atheism is a non-prophet organization.

Cloud nine gets all the publicity, but cloud eight actually is cheaper, less crowded, and has a better view.

I’m always relieved when someone is delivering a eulogy and I realize I’m listening to it.

Just think, right now as you read this, some guy somewhere is gettin’ ready to hang himself.

If all our national holidays were observed on Wednesdays, we could wind up with nine-day weekends.

Most people with low self-esteem have earned it.

Most people work just hard enough not to get fired and get paid just enough money not to quit.

“No comment” is a comment.

You can’t argue with a good blowjob.

So far, this is the oldest I’ve been.

worst pickup lines

Can I buy you a drink, or do you just want the money?

I may not be the best looking guy here, but I'm the only one talking to you.

I'd like to screw your brains out, but it appears that someone beat me to it.

If you were a new hamburger at McDonald's, you would be McGorgeous.

I wish you were a Pony Carousel outside Walmart, so I could ride you all day long for a quarter.

Excuse me, do you have your phone number, I've seem to have lost mine.

I can't find my puppy, can you help me find him? I think he went into this cheap motel room.

OK, so what's the speed of dark?

Hard work pays off in the future. Laziness pays off now.

Everyone has a photographic memory. Some just don't have film.

Shin: a device for finding furniture in the dark.

Many people quit looking for work when they find a job.

Join the Army, meet interesting people, kill them.

If Barbie is so popular, why do you have to buy her friends?

Boycott shampoo! Demand the REAL poo!

Who is General Failure and why is he reading my hard disk?

What happens if you get scared half to death twice?

I used to have an open mind but my brains kept falling out.

I couldn't repair your brakes, so I made your horn louder.

If at first you don't succeed, destroy all evidence that you tried.

A conclusion is the place where you got tired of thinking.

Experience is something you don't get until just after you need it.

For every action, there is an equal and opposite criticism.

The colder the X-ray table, the more of your body is required to be on it.

The problem with the gene pool is that there is no lifeguard.

Monday is an awful way to spend 1/7th of your life.

A fool and his money are soon partying.

Plan to be spontaneous tomorrow.

A few peas short of a casserole.

An experiment in Artificial Stupidity.

An intellect rivalled only by garden tools.

As much use as a hedgehog in a condom factory.

As much use as a one-legged man at an ass-kicking contest.

As useful as a wooden frying pan.

As useful as tits on a bull.

Dumb as a stump.

He's got a mind like a steel sieve.

His cheese has slipped off his cracker.

His porch light ain't on.

Like a pair of children’s scissors, bright and colorful, but not too sharp.

Million dollar body and a 2 dollar engine.

Proof that evolution CAN go in reverse.
