Last night I heard on the news that a local hardware store publicly offered former President Bush the job of greeter. All I could do was laugh, and hard. That’s a job even Bush couldn’t screw up!

Can you imagine a hardware store with the Secret Service for security? Ha! Maybe that was the idea and Bush being there is just gravy…

I also wanted to talk a little more about something I’ve been doing lately that I am really excited about. Listening to books on tape. I’m “reading” Four Blind Mice and looking forward to two more books I have to read after this. Let me tell you why I enjoy this so much, I’ve always been an avid reader, anything I can get my hands on that is interesting to me I will read, recently I used coke points won from McDonalds during their Monopoly promotion to get a year subscription to Conde Naste a travel magazine.

Of which I’ve gotten two containing amazing pictures that all too clearly remind me how broke I am right now…I told myself I was ordering the mag to inspire us to save money for a beautiful, magical wonderful vacation to one of these beautiful destinations. Vacation fund so far – $ 0.23, we’ll be vacationing in Tahiti in 2050 at this rate!

Anyways, I’ve always been someone who enjoyed reading to the nth degree, but in the last five years or so my time to do so has completely given way in the face of schoolwork, this website, my full time job, social networking (the little I have time for) and my family, in no particular order.

The solution to this is books on cd. EXCELLENT IDEA! For those of us that commute to work, someone was thinking of us when they came up with this idea. I’ll sometimes hang out in the car for a few minutes after I get home just to get to the end of the chapter. Just like when I read a physical book, I can’t put it down.

James Patterson is my focus at the moment, I used to read his books a lot more often when my son was young and I had less going on in my life, I stopped reading however around 2001 when my life became hectic, and has not yet slowed down.

So it’s nice to get caught up with my favorite character, Alex Cross, played by Morgan Freeman in Kiss the Girls. I’m looking forward to the next two books I have waiting for me.

Have you ever listened to a book on tape or cd? Have the Amazon Kindle? What do you read and how do you make it work for you, so that you can still enjoy the activity?

Yeah, I said it, I’ve been eating McDonald’s food everytime I end up having to get take out and where has it gotten me? Two mcflurry’s and one breakfast sandwich richer. Yeah I’m bitchin’. Gimme something McDonalds! I’m drinkin’ your coffee for chrissakes! Here’s a clue — it sucks!

So I’m sitting here sipping this ass coffee entering my stupid little codes on their stupid little website and I’m ONE game piece shy on every set there is on the fucking board! Yeah, a monopoly indeed. Pisses me off that I can’t win something decent, and yeah screw off with your coke points, what’s that get me? Clothes for an avatar on some stupid website I want nothing to do with. PLEASE! I’m considering a boycott. After the game is over of course, because you never know, I.just.might.win. Then you’ll be seein’ this bitch on a permanent vacation.

Now, since I can’t seem to get in a bad mood, and I got this very funny email directed specifically to me as a Disturbed Person, I wanted to share, because all of you are disturbed too. Yes you are.

The following are pictures in this same email that I thought I would share, there are more, but none as funny as the ones I picked for you here. Of course.

And yes, you are disturbed. But so am I and so we’ll share that label.

Today is International Disturbed People’s Day

I don’t care if you lick windows,

take the special bus

or occasionally pee on yourself..

You hang in there sunshine, you’re friggin’ special.

Every sixty seconds you spend angry, upset or mad, is a full minute of happiness you’ll never get back.

Today’s Message of the Day is:

Life is short, Break the rules, Forgive quickly, Kiss slowly, Love truly, Laugh uncontrollably, And never regret anything that made you smile.

Life may not be the party we hoped for, but while we’re here we should dance.

Well I’m off to work, and hopefully dance when I get off. Enjoy yourselves today.
