It’s pretty sad when people confuse France and Australia on a map…

I miss Amanda and Lily… although, I have had a relaxing day since they left yesterday afternoon; I watched movies, took a small nap, read some Bukowski, surfed the net, ate cheese curls and Strawberry Fig Newtons, etc, etc, etc.

I also started thinking as I tend to do during these times. You know, the average person male lives to be somewhere around 75 years old. That sounds like a pretty long time, but then I started thinking how that computed to only 75 summers, and that I’m closing in on halfway there. I’ve used up nearly half of my Falls - half of my Springs, my summers, my winters. Then I started thinking that I need to take more vacations. So I started surfing expedia.com and other vacation sites. Then I realized that we need to save more money. Then I started thinking about paying for private school for Lily, and for college, and retirement. Why does my brain have to work this way? *stabs brain…

Anyway, some places I’d like to go and see before I die:

• Alaska / British Columbia
• The Caribbean
• The Mediterranean
• Mexico
• Boston / New England
• Thailand
• Arkansas (ah-hahahaha - yeah, right)
• Egypt
• Ireland

Of course, I can’t really complain too much: I’ve skied  the Alps, hiked the Andes, traveled much of Europe…  Now I just need to do it with  my family….

Ever sat around and suddenly had the urge to watch reruns of Alf or The Young Ones? Here you go:

PeekVids - Watch Videos Online  and  TV Links  and Televee

I’ve just got done watching the UK version of “The Office” and “Superman Returns.” I really should be doing more with my life…

It’s just like.. It’s just like.. it’s just like a mini-mall

Word.

Post-Edit: Here’s a follow up (almost as good) of this guy on the Ellen Degeneres Show And why you’re at it, why not get a shortened version of the rap as a ringtone and impress/annoy all of your friends/coworkers?
