Of course they’re not like they used to be! This is the now – the present – the NEW.

These “against-new” people don’t like the way kids dress, they don’t like new music and they really hate all of this Facebook and Twitter stuff. They say things like, “Don’t people talk face to face any more!?” The answer: NO! WHY? Because that’s dumb. It’s way easier to TXT, email or Tweet than call someone --- after all, does anyone even pick up their phones anymore!?

Being mad at Twitter, Facebook and TXTing is like a person being mad at the telephone for replacing the telegraph. Talking smack about new music and the way kids dress is like your parents not liking the music you listened to or the way you dressed as a teenager.

Change is always hard ...

He plays all of the Pink Floyd hits and stuff from his latest “On an Island” album (sweet stuff).  His band is great and Richard Wright is on keyboards – had to be one of his last appearances before his death.

Oh, and it looks AWESOME in HD!

Every time I proclaim my love for Taco Bell, somebody always has to chime in with, “You know they use Grade D meat, right?  Grade D meat is what they use for dog food!”

First of all, I don’t even know if that’s true.  I did a quick Google search and could come up with no rock-solid answer.  As far as it looks online, the whole Grade D thing looks like just another urban legend; but again, I have no idea.

This blog isn’t about that.

The main point of this blog is:  Since when are you too good to eat Grade D meat? (if it even exists)  Since when have we become this “I-eat-only-filet-mignon” nation?  So what if Grade D meat is made of the hooves & private parts of cows? Eat it!

Now here’s Weird Al to play us out with “Eat ...

I’d rather have my leg impaled than move. I’d rather be constipated for a month than move. I’d rather move than move (it kind of makes sense).

This weekend I’m moving to Ukrainian Village. While looking for and signing the lease to my new place was easy, moving will not be easy. Moving is the only thing I will not do for ANYONE! My girlfriend wanted to save money and just get a UHaul for her place and I said, “NO WAY!”

Now I know what Meatloaf was referring to when he wrote “I would do anything for love but I won’t do that.” He was talking about moving!

The worst part about moving is going through all the crap you’ve accumulated throughout the years and seeing how little you have progressed.

Oh, and yes, I’m renting. A lot of people when they find out I’m renting ...

Call me a geek but I love learning stuff. Just today, Johnny and I were going back and forth with all the stuff we learned on our respective architecture boat tours.

Learning new stuff is like being a kid again. There is an unknown but once you know it, it’s no longer unknown, but guess what? Once you learn something a whole new set of unknowns pop up! There is a never ending supply of stuff to learn and that’s awesome!

What have you recently learned?

If you scan the “hot topics” on Twitter you’ll see there’s a topic “3 Words After Sex.”  Twitterers from around the world are writing into Twitter with the 3 words they say after sex.  Here are some of my favorites:

need a taxi?

u still here?

who r u?

Make me breakfast

Get me beer.

Cleanup, aisle 4

where's the remote?!!!

you killed kenny!

Cash or credit

Go home, loser.

 

So – what are your 3 words after sex?


(FYI: Picture is of my girlfriend after sex....:)

I wonder what like 2046 will be like (when I turn 65)….

I doubt I’ll get any Social Security checks.
I doubt the Cubs will have won a world series.
I doubt the dog I buy in 10 years will be alive.
I doubt I’ll look good with my shirt off – (not that I look good with my shirt off NOW!)
I doubt I’ll remember writing this blog entry.
I doubt I’ll be able to remember the name of the doorman here at the Merchandise Mart.
I doubt humans will still have to talk to each other – “there’ll be an app for that.”

How many days do you have left until retirement?
