Meteors killed the meat eaters


Lifes simple pleasures include:

  • Bart's blackboard scribblings in the opening sequence of THE SIMPSONS
  • AccuRadio's TWANG channel on the internet for us "far offers"
  • Getting a snail mail letter
  • Popeye's spicy chicken
  • Waking up feeling "damn good"
  • Fresh, hot morning coffee
  • Getting a smile returned from a stranger
  • A warm, sunny day, a curvy road and no other traffic
  • Same day, same road with a sun roof and Neil Young & Crazy Horse* cranked up
  • Growing things from seed
  • Hard Luck Story by Whiskeytown (Ryan Adam's band before going solo) ["I swore to your daddy that I'd love you, but I changed my mind"....who else could write that?]
Things that suck include:

  • Trying to get through the security tape on a new DVD
  • The item costs 45 cents. You have 40 cents change or a 20 dollar bill
  • Both traffic lanes are moving approx. the same speed and it turns out to be slower than you'd like to go.
  • 13 hour time difference between you and all of your friends
  • Rain for a month, aka, rainy season
  • The price of paperback books
  • Amateur political pundits
  • Unopened minds. Whether we agree or not is unimportant. Thinking is.
  • Public parking (or rather, the pronounced lack thereof) in Japanese cities.
  • The way we are treating Reserve and National Guard troops
  • The best TV shows competing against each other so you have to choose.
  • Realizing halfway through that you have put in one of those 3 hour movies
  • 3 hour (or more) movies. If you got that much to say, do a mini-series.

There's more, but I can't think of it right now.

* Has to be with Crazy Horse, that's when he really kicks it in
