Kristy Lee Cook/ Boston Marathon/ Iran/ Gas Prices
Oh It’s only been a week since I wrote a post here. It seemed like a lot longer when I thought about it. I decided to write about Yahoo Buzz and there top ten picks. Because obviously that’s what people are interested in reading or talking about and why not throw my fifty cents into the pile?
So I did numbers one through five over at Virginia Breeze earlier in the evening. And now while I am waiting for American Idol to tape so I don’t have to watch all the commercials I can do the rest.
Here. And since I started doing this several hours ago the list has changed. Why? Because the news waits for no man or woman I guess. Stuff happens. But Kristy Lee Cook is still up there and we have been following her exploits on AI. What can we say about her that has not already been said?
Not much. She’s a great kid with a bright future. So I don’t understand why she wants to get married at this point. And I DO understand why her boyfriend suddenly decided he needed to propose to her. Because I would have done the same thing in his situation.
Oh well. Love is blind as the say. And the next topic that is right up there is the Boston Marathon. A Kenyan, Robert Cheruiyo, won it for the fourth straight time.
Kenyans have dominated the race which begins right near my hometown for the past two decades. How do they do it? I don’t know. Maybe it’s like this. We as Americans have lives and then we train and run races on the side. Maybe we train a lot but we still do other things too.
The Kenyans train and run races and then they have lives on the side. And BTW when I say “We train and run races” I don’t mean that literally. Because some of us don’t run. And we don’t train either.
But we do walk once in awhile when the store doesn’t have a drive thru.
Iran is another major topic in the World of Buzz.
And I am sorry but I just can’t get into this subject. Because it aggravates me to no end. First of all it’s not the Iranian people that upset my equilibrium. It’s their freaking government.
What would I do if I lived there? First of all I would not be sitting here in front of a computer spilling my brains out onto the internet. Because the idea of a knock on the door in the middle of the night really, really disturbs me.
And we don’t ever even think about this here in America. Unless of course we have been doing something evil like cooking those little red congestion pills. Apparently folks take about a million of those things and cook them to make stuff. Or they did until the secret ingredient was removed.
Now I can pick them up on the store shelf again. I don’t have to go to the druggist and show him my ID. Who’s idea was that? I was having flashback of 1962 and trying to buy a Playboy magazine in the small town drugstore where I grew up.
I didn’t grow up in the drugstore. But I would have liked to have overnights there once in awhile so I could catch up on my reading.
Living in Iran would be the pits. And even Angelina couldn’t make it any better.
Our last subject tonight is gas.
Now you know and I know that there is more than enough gas in the world. In fact excess gas is a problem and one that can send you out of the room without explanation in a flash.
“Where did David go?” I don’t know. It must have been an emergency of national proportions for him to move that fast.
Alright. Enough of that. For the first time in my life I filled up the gas tank and paid over fifty dollars. It was 3.50 per gallon and as I was pulling away the news on the radio was saying that the national average is 3.50 per gallon. Talk about rubbing it in! I get it! Gas is 3.50 a gallon!
And also for the first time I heard somebody peep on the radio about gas going to five dollars per gallon. Some guys always like to get ahead of the crowd just because they enjoy the shock value of saying “Gas is going to be five dollars per gallon soon”.
Forget it Buddy. But why is it so high? And what happens when the driving season starts in earnest?
We stay home! That’s what! We all have computers and broadband connections these days. And they don’t use gas!
Eureka! We have been saved.
Travel in your mind to the farthest galaxies. And please don’t forget to call home once in awhile. Also, don’t forget to blog about your adventures. We will each pick a planet. And then we can take photos and share them.
“Here’s Frowgoat my new neighbor. I imagined him. He kind of looks like my former boyfriend. But he has a long, long neck and he enjoys rubbing my back.”
The price of gas will come down really quick once Iran sees that we are serious about conserving gas and being bloggers of the universe.
And that’s it for now Space Buddies. I do believe American Idol is done recording and it is time to drop in on the mischief and mayhem as our young stars have a go at Andrew Lloyd Webber.
