this little piggy

I hate how soggy Raisin Bran gets after a while.  It's pretty good for the first 4 minutes.  It's also pretty ridiculous that it has more sugar in it than Lucky Charms. Lucky friggin' Charms.

I just lost my train of thought.  I'll have to come back.

Okay so I'm back.

Usually I have an issue with people leaving their Christmas decorations up till... March.  But.. I found an exception today.  There is this cute little pink pig, dressed in Santa gear.. ON A ROOF.  Just chillin'..  facing the street.  There is nothing else around him.  He's been there since November probably.. and it'll be April in a week.  Haha...  I love it.  I find it funny and cute and I smile every time I see it.  I drive by it every day.  I have to admit, I'm going to be sad to see it go.

They should keep it up all year and just add shamrocks... eggs..... American flags.... pumpkins.. then it'll be ready for Kris Kringle again.

I can't say I love ALL animals.  I haven't seen Every animal on the planet.  I don't particularly care for some that I have met.  But for the most part.. animals are the greatest things on the globe.  Just as I can't imagine life w/out music....  I can't imagine it w/out animals.  Pigs are one of my favorites.  They're just cute and hilarious and I love the sounds they make.  I like the big ones.. but the little ones... oh.. they're freaking phenomenal.

Thank you for pigs.

Flies are insects but I still consider them animals.  There are humans and there are animals.  And plants.

The thought train has stopped again.  I'll just end this here.

I hope everyone reading has an enjoyable day!

 

Air Dancers

There's this Sell Your Gold For Cash store down the road....  They hired this guy to stand by the road (I'm assuming), hold their sign and wave.  That's what this guy does for a living.  Stands and waves.  I see him on my lunch break so I don't know how many hours he does this.. but it just baffles me.    How much would they pay a person to literally...  stand and wave?  Minimum wage?  If I was him.. I'd consider going across the street for employment at Giant Eagle.  He can bag groceries.  That would be like 100% more fun that standing there, facing oncoming traffic and waving.  For.. 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 possible hours. 

I know I don't know this guy's situation - AT ALL.  Perhaps he's deaf..  or a mute.  Cannot work with the public.  He might have EXTREME anxiety.  His dad or mum might own the company... and he's in so much trouble... they said they'd bail him out of jail if he would hold their silly sign for them.  He might LOVE doing it, and he does it for free.  He might be a billionaire and he's just trying to give back to society. 

DOUBT IT.


Just crazy.  They should just buy one of those air machine/gumby guy things...  it would get people's attention... and they wouldn't have to pay a human.  I am sure those things are expensive but... still.

I just looked them up.  Air Dancers.  You can get one on Amazon for $50.   

Besides, Mr. Air Dancer would be a HELL of a lot more effective than a 5 foot 10 human, putting in the bare minimum efffort on his wave.  At least put him in a clown suit.... or a big chicken costume.  Get him dancing around.. playing the trumpet.  Now we're talkin'.

So it's mid-March and one of my favorite things to do as a human is.... drive down the road, with the windows down, listening to music.  It's the warmest day of 2015 so far.. in my neck of the woods... and it's something to celebrate. 

Today is a beautiful day.

some non-crazy dreams

Here I am.  I came here with intent.

And I've got nothing.

Is it possible to get writer's block when you're not a writer? 

Well, this morning I was dreaming while my alarm was chiming away.  It often becomes incorporated into my dreams.

I've been having super duper wacky dreams lately, but this is not one of them.

I often switch back and forth between observer and character.  I am witnessing something go down between two people, then all of a sudden I AM one of the people.

That's how it was with this one.  Leo DiCaprio.  Hanging out with his latest fling / me part of the time.  They're hanging out, getting cozy, etc etc etc... then it's time - OH - he has really long head hair and beard hair.  It's time to cut off all of his hair and shave completely - for a role.  The chic starts freaking out and immediately leaves and says she is done with him.  I imagine most Hollywoodians are shallow like that.

So, then I'm in this building.. with lots going on.. lots of different levels.. rooms.. businesses.. I'm in the basement at some point and there are some super strange rituals happening that I am witnessing.  I leave and.. end up in this restaurant where I'm sitting at the table with the owner.  I have at least 7 dishes of food in front of me.. and all these waitresses keep coming up to me trying to take my dishes... when I'm clearly still working on them.  They were all getting mad and jealous that dude was talking to me.

I have others...  I for real need to get my dream journal back on my bedside table so I can write them down before I quickly forget.
