Let me first say, everytime I go to church, I feel like I need a cigarette. Child, it just makes me so nervous! And I don't even smoke, for real ( Read more... )

... and so now I listen to Latin music -- those sweet, cultured, hip tunes that always mueva mis huesos. I'll go to a Salsa dance class on Thursday with my sista Amanda. I'm tired of it all. I've no longer got the shame I used to have. You know what I'm sayin' ... I sure do wish I had a trumpet so I could taunt those Latin boys.

As if the Volkswagon Beetle wasn't small enough, I had my first sight today of the Japanese Mini Beetle. Oh, those Germans! And I must say, the Mini Cooper ain't got shit on the Mini Beetle.

A friend of mine told me about a Japanese girl he's dating who dumped him because he didn't understand Japanese culture enough. How about we go ahead and pitch girlfriend's intolerance? People here expect you to always read the atmosphere and understand everything. But what happens when the sky remains cloudy?

Mark: December 24, 10:00 pm, eastern standard time. I can't believe a year went by so fast. Time to see what we have ... time to see. Turn the projector on! First shot Roger with the fender guitar he just got when he sold the car that took him away and back ( Read more... )

WHAT'S UNDER THE HOOD?!?! Oh, child, this baby's got 10 speakers AND an iPod adapter! What you got on me, playa ( Read more... )

Disclaimer: Every year in the United States, many, many thousands of trailers catch on fire, causing hundreds of dollars in damage. If you own or rent a manufactured or mobile home, take out as much insurance on that damn thing as you can. Because if a tornado doesn't get it, it WILL go up in flames ( Read more... )
