Had time to think

On the way up to P'ville, during my 4 hour drive in the rain, I obviously had a lot to think about. Damn weather. Damn traffic.

I noticed some very interesting things along the way.

2 teenage boys playing with a plastic, toy gun. Laughing and joking as they walked down the street....it looked like something out of a movie. But it was really happening....stupid boys.

A crowd of people, standing on the streets corners at an intersection....IN THE POURING RAIN, holding RON PAUL election posters. I mean, I'm all for freedom of speech and stating what I believe in, but I'm not one to go out and preach to the people. That's just me. But these people were out in the pouring rain and wind to simply convince people to vote for Ron Paul. I found this mildly entertaining.

Drivers. You have to wonder what goes through their minds while behind the wheel of a car. It's pouring rain and the traffic is bad. How do you think that you are going to get to your destination faster than the other 10,000 cars on the road when we are going 5 miles an hour. This dude's behind me, swerving off the road to see if he can get in front of me....where are you going buddy? Wow...you wanna get one car ahead? Woopie doo!!!! Frickin' bothers the hell out of me.

I don't know if I am the only one who finds this odd....but when you take a long drive like that...3-4 hours.....and you're almost to your destination....do you ever think how weird it is that the scenery has changed so fast? The drive was long, but traveling is a weird conception to me. Especially when I go home, coz its from city to country and the change is so slow that you don't really feel like you are in different places. I know I am probably not making any sense....but when I get home, it always amazes me that I was just in the city.

Awful television!

While watching the all-famous and some what degrading "American Idol"-that show is seriously going downhill....its not even funny anymore, just plain sad. Anyway, there was a commercial for what looks like the worst game show ever.

"The Moment of Truth"
Apparently this show is all about people being asked personal questions in front of loved ones or strangers. They are hooked up to a polygraph and asked to tell the truth!!!! So not only do they lie or tell the honest truth in front of someone that they probably don't want to know, but are pretty much humiliated in front of millions of viewers. But they do this all to win the big bucks...obviously!

• Questions like "Will you still be married to your husband in five years?" and the husband is sitting right there! How could both of them willingly walk onto that show and do that ON TELEVISION!

• Some overweight lady is asking a guy "Do you hate fat people?" HOW AWKWARD!!!!

• A man is asked "Would you cheat on your wife if you knew you wouldn't get caught?" while his wife sits by. How embarassing for her.

• Some blonde woman is asked "Do you really care about the children in Africa?" Now if she answered that truthfully, not really caring about them....I'm guessing America doesn't care how selfish she is. But still.....reality check for her.

And obviously they answer all of these questions for $$$$$ money. Why else. Of course game shows--hell, the world--revolves around money. But how much does your dignity mean to you?

That show just seems so unethical. WHY? WHY? WHY!!!???? Makes me so mad at tv executives.....the type of shows that they put on television and i won't be surprised at the number of viewers that will watch.....coz people like that kinda shit.

I need a mirror

Sometimes, without realizing it....I make THE most unattractive faces! And when I'm a little intoxicated, all thoughts about looking glamorous go right out the window.

I think I look like the creature from Pan's Labyrinth.


Have you ever seen Monty Python and the Holy Grail? There is the famed dangerous rabbit in the cave. That is pretty much what the rabbit looks like- minus the dress.

A Blonde Moment

Alisha: How long is 17 mile drive?

Casey: Staring at me

Alisha: Oh, is it 17 miles long? Wow! I thought they just named the road that way for some reason. Haha.

An outstanding revelation

Well, this is my first post. So after trying to think of something funny, clever or witty to start this off....I gave up and figured I should just write....and that's what this blog will contain. MY THOUGHTS.

• Sometimes I am sure they might be deep thoughts.....like Jack Handy.

• At times they might be witty and crass....yes I do have such moments throughout the day.

• And yes, there may be "blonde moments" that I will so willingly share. Casey tells everyone else, so I might as well just come out and share too.

So, my first thought actually came yesterday while I was driving. After running all over the place to all these different destinations, I pondered what every other person is doing on the road. I do this a lot actually. Because there are so many people in the bay area, its common for me to wonder why this person next to you in the lexus is out driving at 7 in the morning. Are they going to work? Taking their children to school/daycare? Maybe they are on their way to a yoga class? Or maybe they are simply driving after having an argument with their spouse?

To get to my point, no two people have the exact same routine/schedule throughout the day. There was not one other person who took the same route as me to Elephant Pharm, Whole Foods, JCPenney and Trader Joes. No other person was looking for the same jewelry, shampoo and foods at the same time that I was, in that same order. I know this is probably very obvious thinking, but for me.....it just reminds me how unique each person's life is. Everyone travels a diverse journey and spreads their energy in different ways. Even if it is as simple as running errands.
