Just Things on my Mind

There is no real rhyme or reason behind today’s entry.  I haven’t had any epiphanies or moments of undeniable truth that I felt you should all know about, but then again, maybe I have and it will all spill out over the next lines.  You never where I’ll go. I’m an enigma!  Needless to say, I felt compelled to write something for my loyal readers, only b/c I myself am not a big fan of people who NEVER update their blog.  Case in point: The Fireman. 

Now, we’re not really friends anymore, and I’m sure he has his hands full, but you would think he might at least post once a month.  I suppose the strains of engagement have diminished his blogging time.  On the other hand, writing about “We stayed home, watched TV and didn’t talk to anyone” isn’t really an “exciting” read.  Of course, I only have like 10 devoted readers and I feel theirs is more out of obligation than intrigue.  Yes, yes…I’m self-depreciating.  Isn’t it attractive?

Why can’t people return calls?  Now, I need to stop here and tell Meggy I’m not talking about her.  Meggy, this is not about you! She will appreciate that because I think there are times when I talk about things and the poor thing thinks I’m upset with her.  That could never happen, by the way.  She’s too cool. If you haven’t already read her blog, I suggest you do, and you’ll see what I mean. Anyway, I called/messaged 7 people on Sunday afternoon, and only 1 of them called me back.  Are you serious? It’s 2008 and you can’t even send me a text back saying “Hey, Max Power, you’re awesome, and smell great and are so charming. Sorry, I can’t talk, I’m a little busy.”?  Is this too much to ask? Let me tell you something friends and family. You call me, I will call you back.  Please don’t let this scare you off. I know you love talking to me.

May is slowly approaching, which means 1) My friend Carrie’s big birthday bash next Friday night (totally stoked), 2) Mother’s Day, and 3) The anniversary of my Mom being diagnosed with a brain tumor.  I can’t believe it’s been almost a year since we found out the news.  I can remember being in the doctors office with her when he told her for the first time.  She has been clear for a while now and is still going through treatments, but it’s still scary.  A good friend of mine from high school just lost her fiancee to cancer.  I won’t say more on this, but I want to wish her my condolences, as well as his and her family and friends.  I can’t begin to imagine the pain. 

I would like to end the blog with a short list of things I’ve come to appreciate quite a bit lately, and I hope you can appreciate them.  Here, in no particular order:

• Mila Kunis!  Do I need to really say more here?  I just saw Forgetting Sarah Marshall and she was so hot in this movie. Please…see what I mean.  HOTTIE. 
• John Cusack movies from the 80’s.  I’m talking Better off Dead, The Sure Thing and Say Anything.  I really do love his movies.  They are classic.
• Music of choice lately: Atreyu, Beyond the Fall, M.I.A. (this site will give you seizures), Ryan Adams, All Star United, and Fall Out Boy’s version of Beat It.  I’m going to work on getting a playlist on my blog for the enjoyment of my readers.  Updated:  The playlist is to the right. Just click on pop out and it will take you to a stand alone version.  You can send your thanks in the form of cash.
• The fact that The Office has new episodes coming on now, which make me smile, cringe and laugh all at the same time.  I hope I do that to all of you.  I’m sure I do.
