Everybody Oughtta, or Sometimes...

Nice fractured title, right?

I just had a bunch of random ideas, thoughts and experiences. I have to light a spark under my writing hand so I thought I would go with these various ramblings.

Everyone ought to watch at least the last 10 minutes of Mr. Holland's Opus, a 1995 Richard Dreyfus film. You just need to do it. It will make you feel good.

We need to make up our minds in this country. One month, a whole lotta celebrities are making bold statements about being large and being good with it. Then the next month they're spokespeople for Jenny Craig. Talk about confusing signals. What's the message here, "stay happy being plus size until someone offers you a boatload of cash to lose the weight?"

AMC station will be broadcasting "Million Dollar Baby" this coming weekend. Intense story, great movie. Saturday night and Sunday night. Check your listings. Sounds like a commercial. Sorry.

I think a great political strategy has come to me. Next presidential election, we wait until maybe September of the actual election year. By then we are so bored with the main yo-yo's that we'd likely welcome anything fresh and exciting. And by that time pretty much anything would seem fresh and exciting. We'll have them kick off their campaign on Labor Day and they'll be elected for sure.

So much for cutting back on junk mail. I got 9, note that- 9 - of those unsolicited credit card offers this week alone. From 9 different banks/institutions. I sent them all back, except I mailed them in the wrong envelopes.

Made me feel better, alright?

I fully expect to see a WaMu commercial on Sesame Street any day now. WaMu. Formerly Washington Mutual. WaMu. They have a website called www.getmyvisa.com Tells you the brain-level they're marketing to, huh?
