Groove Armada Style
So I'm sitting here drinking a Pepsi (sí) poured into a cup without any ice, and listening to Groove Armada talking about shaking that azz. It's a crazy life that I live,! I sometimes wonder to myself how I didn't turn out to be the founder of some ridiculous new invention that will help lead mankind into the next million years. It sure would have been nice to invent the elastic inside my underwear, or maybe start the new plastic bracelet with (your cause, or school name here) on it, trend. Can you imagine how much money I would have made if I started that. People give $1 per bracelet, and you see more people these days who actually have a bracelet than don't have it.
While I'm talking about these bracelets I think I'll share something that I saw the other day while I was at the Stephen F. Austin campus in Nacogdoches, TX. Target is selling these pink bracelets that are for breast cancer awareness, or something of the sort. Well you can get them at the target website for a dollar a piece (the minimum order is 10). Anyway, like I said $1 each. Well some sorority was selling these bracelets for 3 bucks a pop. Talk about making a bit of a profit. This brings up a question...Is it right to sell the bracelet at 3x the normal cost? I didn't see a sign anywhere saying that the money they make goes to the cause. That's kinda jacked if you ask me. You didn't though...Another instance of this happening is with the Lance Armstrong bracelets. People were selling those on EBAY for 10 dollars each. I don't know what's worse, people selling them for that much and keeping the extra money, or being stupid enough to buy one when you can go online and order them. I realize that there was quite a wait to get them, but is it that important to be in fashion that you totally pass up the purpose of having the bracelet?
Now back to my Pepsi...I haven't had a pepsi in ages. It was part of this deal today at the grocery store. You buy a few different things, and you get a bottle of Pepsi for free. Why not? it's free, and I needed the other stuff. I don't understand why people are always dogging Pepsi like it's the inferior cola. If it's chilled a bit, and poured into a cup (without ice of course), it's not half bad. I actually am enjoying it quite a bit. I can't say I'll buy another bottle of it anytime soon, but I thought that Pepsi should get it's due. I imagine having Britney Spears endorse your product probably doesn't help much, it doesn't make me any more likely to purchase the stuff. Although, I can think of several ad strategies with her in it that would get me to buy it. None of those would have anything to do with her talking though. That Britney girl, she's classy. Enough about her...
So I'm on this excersize kick now. Well I wouldn't call it a kick, but as my waistline is expanding, my clothes stop fitting me. Instead of buying new clothes I figure it's best to just lose the weight. I rode about 11 miles on a bike today at the local gym, then wogged (walk jogged) another couple of miles. Great work out huh? So to cancel out all of that excersize I'm having a Pepsi. What am I thinking, I could cut out both and probably still be in the same predicament.
Groove Armada's song is long over now. Now I'm listening to The Who's song Behind Blue Eyes. I didn't really discover this until Limp Bizkit did it's version. They really butched a great song. The Who actually have some great songs. I didn't really get into all of the old music until the big Napster and high speed internet times hit. I haven't downloaded music in a while, like a year, I'm a little scared to. Oh well, one of these days I'll get off the 56k I have here at home and start again.
The 15th of this month should be a day that we all mark down on our calenders. It was the first day of MLB home plate on XM Radio. I'm a baseball nut, big Astro fan. This 24 hour a day baseball talk is so friggin' awesome that I even have been listening to the encores even though I know what's coming on next. Channel 175 is now stuck on my radio. I did miss an interview with long time Astros announcer Milo Hamilton last night though. I'm dissapointed with that. When I was a kid I used to hear him calling Home Runs on the radio screaming "HOLY TOLEDO". I'll never forget it. He's my second all time favorite behind a sauced Harry Carey fumbling through his lines during a Cubs game. He was awesome to hear WGN. Anyway, back to the XM baseball thing, they're going to have almost every game on radio this season. I figure halfway through the season I'll be one of two things. Hopefully I'll be pumped because the Astros are leading the division by 10 games and are just warming up. More than likely though, I'll be burned out, and talking about next year. I still can't believe Beltrán got away from them. I don't blame that on the 'Stros, nor Beltrán. Scott Boras is an evil evil man who is bad for the game of baseball. The way that he juices the money out of the owners is unreal, and if it weren't for my admiration at his perfection in getting his players signed, I'd hate him.
Hate is a strong word isn't it? Well there aren't many things I hate in this world. One thing that I totally lothe though are cats. What a waste of life. Is there anything that these little bags of fur are good for? Would the world be any worse off withouth them? It really pisses me off when one comes up and rubs on my leg. If I was a mean person I'd kick the heck out of it. I won't, I'm nice, but they give me the willies. Other than cats, there aren't very many things I can think of that I hate. I dislike many things, and many people, but don't hate many. I should make a list of things I hate...Well I'd have to think about that one, but know that cats are towards the top of that list.
So I'm going to Mexico this weekend. The 2nd weekend in a row. There's a wedding that I'm going to. These things are extravagant. If you've never been to a Mexican wedding, go, you won't regret it. I've been to probably like 5 or more by now. The Mexicans love trying to get this Gringo drunk with tequila shots. What they don't see though is that I weigh about twice of what they do, so I can go a lot longer than them. It's crazy to watch them try though. It's like an all night party that isn't over until your either too tired to go on, or too drunk to function. I've never been the latter of the two, but maybe someday. I'll put some pictures up someday, it's an unbelievable experience everyone should do. By the way, I love Mexico, and all things Mexican. Especially this pretty girl down there.....
