British Influence

The British are coming, or – should I say – they’re already here. Somehow they insinuated themselves into our collective unconscious without our permission. Below are some examples of how the British are taking over: Tabatha Coffey : In her show “Tabatha Takes Over” (see?!?), she appears one day in front of a hair salon and asks the owner to meet her outside. Tabatha then proceeds to visually show the owner what is wrong with their shop and staff. After seeing all this, Tabatha literally takes over the shop (taking keys and canceling hair appointments for the week). She tries to correct what’s wrong, both physically and mentally with the staff and owner (i.e. – showing staff how to cut hair better, talking to the boss about how to treat the staff, etc.) I have to admit, she’s firm but fair about the whole thing. She does a renovation, if one is called for, and gets the owner and staff motivated about working again. She then returns six weeks later to make sure everything is still runni

Solitaire

The game of Solitaire is a lot like life. - You go it alone. - You don’t know what’s coming next. - There are usually 2 or 3 moves you make that screw you up. - You have to play what’s in front of you. - It’s all about the organization. I’m sure there are other parts of the game that can be extrapolated out to explain life but these just popped into my head.

Some people can only deal with one card at a time… that’s how I grew up playing the game. I have had jobs where 3 cards come flying at me all at once – drinking from the proverbial fire hose. It’s not so much to take if you break it into smaller p

Some of my favorite tweets

I don't have a twitter account. In fact, at this point, I couldn't tell you who wrote these particular tweets but I can admit to you that I did not. Enjoy them anyway: p.s. - I will be back to full strength on this blog in the coming new year. When your only tool is a bong, every problem looks like it can wait until tomorrow. Can't understand why some people are against childhood vaccination; I'd be thrilled if my kid turned out to be artistic. "Telling me you're too young to understand my expressions makes me cringe like nails on a chalkboard", "What's a chalkboard?" For Halloween I'm going as a newspaper and will regale everyone with things they read online yesterday. That woman was sexy...Out of your league? Son. Let women figure out why they won't screw you, don't do it for them. Do I still have to go to medical school if I just wanna be the guy who yells "WE'RE LOSING HIM!"? I like to poop with the door open but
