Feelin' a Rant Comin' On...

There have been several items which I wanted to address, but I don’t think they can stand on their own for individual blog entries, so here we go…

The Daimler Chrysler Corporation must be sinking, drowning in its own refuse. They resorted to 50 Cent promoting their 300 series cars by featuring it in his videos, and now they have Snoop shizzilating the new commercials. Can the advertisers think of nothing better to do than to pair hip-hop icons with men which are at least double their age? Yea, that’s a good way to sell cars isn’t it? Fo’ shizzle.

Second on the list, is something I just don’t understand. Why is it old men tuck their undershirts into the waistband of their underwear? I can only imagine what is running through the mind of the reader right now, “who is this guy, and what is he doing watching old men get dressed?” This is not the case, it happens casually walking through the locker room at the gym. I don’t request to see this kind of thing, but once you bump into it, you gotta ask “why?”

Third, I had another random encounter and rolled the dice – why? Because you never know. I went downtown this weekend for an acquaintance’s birthday; I was invited by proxy (her best friend). I rode with a couple of people, and we had parked on the second level of a parking garage off of Commerce. The exit ramps out were a downward spiral, and there was a car nice enough to let us in front of her. I looked back and I saw this beautiful smiling face. I started smiling back and this continued for a minute. The guy driving, Nick, somewhat challenged me to go talk to her. Next thing I know I am hopping out of the car and strolling up to the driver’s side door. I chat with Lori (spelling?) for a few minutes and asked for her number. I did receive it, so we’ll see what happens now. I placed my phone call today and left voice mail.

Anybody can lose one fight, anybody can lose once, you'll come back from this you'll be champion of the world. - Eddie Scrap-Iron Dupris from Million Dollar Baby

I saw Million Dollar Baby this week end, which I enjoyed. I can see how Hillary Swank won the oscar for best actress – she did an incredible job in that movie. I don’t want to give anything away about the movie, but I would recommend seeing it.
