...and Wiser, too?

It's my birthday today. My sweetheart won't let me forget this sad reminder of my gradual demise. She even linked to me so all her blogger buddies could leave me birthday wishes. So I figured I'd better create a post to receive those greetings.

Turning another year is not so bad, though. Although my body is more than happy to comply with the requirements of aging, my mind still thinks I'm in my early 20's. It also thinks I still look as good (poor sap). I sometimes wish it was the other way -- a 37 year old mind in a 20-something year old body. Now wouldn't that be nice! I suppose I do have control over both situations (or I did, anyway). Had I properly nurtured both, I probably would have both.
But to think of all the buttery mashed potatoes, pumpkin pies, samoked ribs, pulled pork, homemade truffles, and Taco Bell I would have missed out on. I'm not doin' so bad, all things considered.

In any case, I am what I am. What a great thing to be! And if I say so myself, "Happy Everyday to me!"

(That is from a Dr. Seuss book, I believe it's "Oh, the Places You'll Go". That Dr. Seuss, That Dr. Seuss. I do so like that Dr. Seuss.)

Much Appreciated


A little belated, perhaps, but I have been honored with my first award. My sister in T-Town lauded me with some very nice praises. Naturally, being the three-year recipient of "The Most Humble Man on Earth" award, (I put up billboards to make sure people could find my house for that one), I feel it only proper to alert you to nice things being said about me (even if I was her second choice for the award :) ).

Thanks, Boots!

Top 1 Worst Music Poll

I certainly believe everyone has a right to his opinion. As my dearest says, however, opinions are like buttholes... everyone has one but no one really wants to see it.

Well, I found perhaps the biggest buttholes to ever grace the anals of music journalism. My guess is, these lists were comprised by a group of twenty-somethings, influenced by a thirty-something or two, who are are so shallow they make my spit look like the Atlantic Ocean. I mean, of all the songs ever written since the beginning of the recorded music, "Billy Jean"??! And let me just point out a few of the worst ever: Meat Loaf "I'd do Anything for Love", Simon and Garfunkel "The Sounds of Silence", Dan Fogelberg "Longer", Five for Fighting "Superman", "Ebony and Ivory", and, in case there is still any doubt as to my characterization of these "people", Toby Keith's "Courtesy of the Red, White, and Blue". In their immature blasting of the Honorable Mr. Keith, they proclaim the song "a fight anthem so vengeful it makes 'The Star-Spangled Banner' look like 'Give Peace a Chance'". Need I say more?

Anyway, I thought you might have fun perusing the lists while thanking God you're not half as dimwitted as these folks.

BTW, sorry I haven't been here to enlighten you as to truth and right. I have been rather taken up by school and earning a living and such.

Laugh at the Lawyer

Lawyer, Attorney, Advocate, Pondscum, Hot Wind. Call them what you will. This is the place to post your pundifery and pontification regarding them.

If you have a joke or humorous anecdote about lawyers, I want to hear it.

Rules:


So have at it! Hit me with your best shot. I can take it... and if it turns out I can't take it, I'll sue.

The Numbers Are In
