Beefless

And now for this breaking news:

** This is not the breaking news I had intended to write about but as soon I finished typing "breaking news" I knocked over a full glass of water. While it didn't break, it did spill. Everywhere. **

So, back to the original breaking news, I just created a brilliant snack. It's a hamburger without the hamburger. All you need is 2 slices of carbs (roll, bread, english muffin), some cheddar cheese, lettuce, and tomato (if you want to take it there). If you're me, put some mayonnaise on it. Add ketchup and enjoy. Who needs beef? 

I thought that was worth sharing with the world.

Missed Connections

I am one of the many people who peruse Missed Connections looking for one written for me. There are a couple I'd like to see:

Subj: Cute Blonde in Clark Park

I love your style. I spotted your brightly colored dress first and was happy to see you had a smile to match. You met your friend and sipped on 40's while I played with my dog, a pit/boxer mix, nearby. You seem interesting. Can I take you out?

Subj: You Were Right

I was wrong. You mean everything to me and I will spend the rest of my life proving it to you.

Subj: Hey Girl

Hi. I see you all around the neighborhood and you always look like you're having such a good time, no matter who you're with. I think we have a lot in common - we're both intelligent, smart, and pretty. Wanna hang out sometime? We can tear up the town and never look back. Let's be BFF!

Yes, any of those missed connections will do. I'd even settle for one from an ex who's heart I broke and has never gotten over me.

I just spent a few minutes pressing "Next Blog" and marveling at the different things that came up. I was most surprised to see that all these blogs have an agenda or a point or something.

I suppose it could be argued that this blog has a point - for me to say whatever I want - but I might argue that's pointless. I think that's best. I can't be held accountable to a point, for heaven's sake! I need a platform! I need to speak without thinking, to write whatever comes to mind. Like a dog whose owner takes him for a run to wear him out, when I get home I might be all talked out and then wouldn't feel the need to say as many pointless things as I often do. Theoretically, the energy I do have can be used to deliver finely tuned statements that bring people to their knees.

Have you seen the Sex and the City movie? I have. I liked it. It made me wonder - does every woman think she is the Carrie in her group of friends, like I do, or do people identify just as often with characters in supporting roles? Hhhmm. And why is it that when you're going through something major, all the media around you seems to relate fully to what you're experiencing? Why do all the songs speak directly to your situation? Characters on TV deal with similarly gut-wrenching scenarios and you're both horrified and comforted by their pain. Why is that? Why?

If you could get back to me on that, I'd appreciate it.
