Hold That Tiger!

So what if Tiger Woods backed into a fire hydrant! So what if his wife landed a 9-iron to his jaw! So what if he has slept with enough women to grow his own baseball team!

When did people's "personal" lives, trials, failures, and stupidities make such big news? Like none of this stuff ever went on any time in history. Why don't the legitimate news organizations get back to news reporting and leave the gossip to the store checkout rags. Oh, that's right... we don't care about boring news, we want the juicey stuff with pictures if you can. Get that telephoto lens cleaned and point it in a window a thousand yards away. Fuzzy naked people that you can't make out is better than nothing at all!!! Gossip sells - straight news doesn't.

Good Grief, If you just can't give up garbage news, at least go back to the days of hot headlines like: ALIENS ABDUCTED MY COW - THEN RETURNED HER THREE WEEKS LATER WITH NEON GREEN UDDERS.

Give me more of those and Hold The Tiger!

Soap Opera?

Why do they call daytime TV shows Soap Operas? What a weird name. I realize that when they first started out, soap companies sponsored these shows, but opera? I don't believe they could EVER be considered an opera. Let's see we could call them Soap dramas, but at times. that would stretching the truth. Daytime gossip? There's plenty of that in each show. Serial Gossip? Wait! Just change it to Cereal Gossip and tap a whole new income stream!

To this day, if you ask me, I'll tell you I NEVER watched one minute of that trash. Well, there was that Dark Shadows thing back when I was young. Thankfully, it only ran 30 minutes, 5 days a week for 5 years. HEY!!! I only watched it for the soap commercials! Get off my case!

Trail Turned Cold

If I were a wannabe political type person and my "Hey-look-at-me" index was heading south, what would I do???
Oh yeah, I'd quit my current office 18 months ahead of schedule. That would get all the pundits talking and in turn would get the general public abuzz with my name*.
Funny how the media falls for this move EVERY time. And the public? Like a moth to the flame.

* Please note that the name appears nowhere in this blog.

What Blog?

Good Grief! I forgot I had this blog. I'm on verbose overload...My Space, Facebook, Twitter, blah blah blah all about me...

I must remember to post a new rant soon. Maybe I'll rant about not remembering my own blog!

March 19-30 Exchange Student

I survived my first ever exchange student living in my home. He was only 13 but my 17-year old son took to him immediately. He was like the brother my son never had. It was quite interesting to learn about another culture and to try to communicate with our live-in. The first few days were rough, but, by the end of his stay, he was actually using full sentences in English. This guy was a quick study. I would recommend this experience to anyone who may be on the fence about it. It will be very rewarding for you and your family.

So, as not to cause an international incident should he ever return to the USA and someone realizes what "choice" english words my son taught him, I'll Just refuse to say what particular country he hailed from.

Guess all you want, my lips are sealed!
