This post means nothing

This post has no reason
This post has no rhyme,
This blog will be senseless
But only this time

This guy is an asshole
There are certain unwritten rules and courtesy when entering and leaving parking lots for highly attended events like football games, concerts, or in this case the Indy Car Race at Sonoma on Sunday. This guy broke virtually all of them. Just so you know "guy who doesn't see the other 30,000 people trying to get into the parking lots too," that finger didn't mean I was rooting for the #1 car in the race.

Why Jimmy Page last night?
Why in the world did the Olympic organizers select Jimmy Page to perform with Leona Lewis last night? I love Led Zeppelin and always will. But come on the guy is almost as old as John McCain. He couldn't have been the first choice of British musicians. Don't Paul McCartney or Phil Collins need to make a few Yuan to pay their ex-wives and their divorce attorneys?


Can you like BBQ too much?
I personally don't think it's possible to like BBQ too much. Pork, beef, chicken, turkey, sausage, almost anything grilled over an open fire with a tangy sauce is heaven.




I don't really miss caffeine in the morning
Too much stress and a heart racing a few beats more than appropriate prompted me to give up caffeinated coffee in the morning. I always used the crutch that I need it to wake up and start the day. Now I know that I don't need it first thing. Decaf tastes just as good. I'm going to have to see a doctor about that heartbeat.






Tonight's fortune cookie read: "You have an important new business development shaping up."
If I had only one fortune cookie come true in my lifetime, this would be it.

about that heartbeat: Sounds like mitral valve prolapse to me. Ive had it my entire adult life. I have had it since my ulcer at age 18, lol.

Usually a good cough will set things right, or a sudden sharp intake of breath.

I have never seen a doctor about it because A: I have no medical insurance, and B: It seems pretty controllable. I still go to the gym, do cardio, and that seems to actually help. Stress doesn't. Go figure.

You aren't watching the Convention! Michelle Obama just completed her speech and I LOVED IT!!! Sort of reminded me of my rant on your blog the other night about women who came before us, how they paved the way, how they deserve the utmost respect, and this, the day woman won the right to vote. And one of the things I learned in all the history, art history and architectural history classes I took is the thread that runs through life, connecting us all. I talk about it all the time, so if my family and friends are reading this, I know they're laughting really, really hard because they hear about it really, really often!!! I like that woman and she's our next first lady. She spoke my words. No, I may not write as well, speak as well, and as Queen Goob was kind enough to point out, "suck at grammar," Michelle and I are on the same page. That's my kinda lady. She and Obama have the sort of relationship Rob and I have. I can relate. She's strong, proud, smart, confident and humble. I like her very much.

And thanks for what you said and did. You're a great guy. (Yes, of course I noticed.)

XO Blottie ;)

P.S. Leah, who's writing I absolutely respect, said on my birthday blog that she loves my writing and mention Thurber and Wharton in the same sentence...hummmmmmm. I'll take those words and hug them to death before I believe any others!

Love you dear. Hope you're having a great evening. Okay, back to the Convention, oh, and laundry. And I promise never to vent again. I know I say that ALL THE TIME, but this time I mean it. I'm just going to stick to the post and the comments about the post. Cross my fingers. Perhaps I should stop reading comments. Ugh. That's were all the fun is!

Oh, and Leah wants some answers and apprently Robyn does too. I'm such a busy lady. And just so you know, you sorta remind me of CSI in his youth on Blogger. He got rid of stuff too. But in a very protective way. He always saved my ass. Something I'll never forget.

Bob, you're probably lucky you're single.

I'm with Jennifer...I hope your fortune cookie is right!

Ribs...mmmmmm.

I have Mitral Valve Prolapse myself...Karen is right. You should stay AWAY from caffeine and stress, they make it worse. It is NOT life-threatening but a pain in the ASS..err, chest.

I didn't watch the closing ceremonies and now I'm glad I missed it.

I hate rude drivers.

RC... If it was a pain in the ass that might call for brain surgery!

Hmmmm ... Sorry ... I'm a Page fan and I don't think either MaCartney or Collins would have done "A Whole Lotta Love" as good.

Just visit PracticallyWisdom and see what the Beatles would have done with Stairway to Heaven.

I agree - there's no such thing as too much BBQ. But then I'm an Aussie so it's almost my patriotic duty to say that ;)

Oh, and with the decaf - that usually has some caffeine still in it, just so you know. Not enough to really make a huge difference but if you're trying to go completely without caffeine it all adds up.

I think Jimmy has a fear of being forgotten. He's not content with just sitting back and watching the royalties pour in. He needs the roar of the crowd.

And I heard that KFC is giving out fortune cookies with their "Taste of Asia" menu items. A KFC fortune, wonder what those are like...
"You will find true love at a NASCAR race."

I don't know why Jimmy Page either. It seemed like an odd choice to me.

Everything is good grilled. Everything.

I'm a caffiene addict. Actually, I'm addicted to lots of things. Motrin, Pamprin, Coffee... I'd die without my Pamprin. Not sure about the coffee.

I hope you find that the fortune cookie was finally right!

I was hoping they would have brought out David Beckham for the closing ceremony and just have him walk around with his shirt off. Oh wait this isn't the closeted homosexual blog is it? Damn it. I did not watch the closing ceremony I was too busy pouring marinated my BBQ beef in caffeinated beverages. I think that sounds more gay than my Beckham comment. Anyway good luck with the fortune cookie, and hope your hearbeat thing is resolved with the reduction of caffeine.

I gave up coffee/etc for 30 days in January and noticed little change so I happily went back. That wasn't the same for gluten, so THAT stayed on the list on "no thanks."

I'm thinking that fortune cookie is a pretty smart cookie. :-)
