It's the end of the world as we know it....

I'm serious people - I need an intervention, and I need it NOW.

Ok, not really, but I made a horrible discovery this morning, completely by accident.

So I was going through Yahoo! Music, listening to videos in the background just for something different. Started innocently enough right? But then I came across this one song that had a pretty good beat, and I wasn't really paying attention to the lyrics or the voice, and my foot started tapping. I decided I liked the song and wanted to know what it was.

To my horror - brace yourselves, people, and I mean it - it was Britney Spears.

WHAT!?!?! I know, right?

So out of morbid curiosity, I went on Youtube and searched that dreaded name for more videos.

I can't believe I'm saying this, but I totally thought about buying one of her albums. I KNOW RIGHT! The horror! The scandal! The hypocritical irony!

....truth be told, I have Circus going right now...

I'm so embarrassed....

What's the point? I don't know really. But, if the Heavens begin to unravel and the Earth implodes, I take full blame.

Apologies, in advance.

Later. If there is one.

Goodbye, Michael Jackson

I'm not going to write a long post here about how much of an impact Michael had in my life, how wronged he was, or whatever typical RIP MJ banter is going around out there. We all know that Michael was a superstar, a trendsetter, a head turner and eyebrow raiser - leave the poor man alone already.

All I'm going to say is that I've watched the memorial, I've seen the tribute and I have to say, it's the most amazing thing I've ever seen. Michael Jackson was obviously a much loved man aside from his celebrity, and that speaks volumes as to what kind of person he was.

It's finally set in, and I've never been so saddened by the passing of someone I've never met before. To Michael's family, friends, and children - God bless you.

Michael, goodbye. I hope you can find some peace now.

That's all.

1958 - 2009

I'm getting really bad at this....

Seriously. When was the last time I posted? Yea, I can't remember either, that's how bad it is.

So I have a question -
Have you ever accidentally tried to buy something that has been recalled?

Yes, of course I'm serious. It's the craziest damn thing I ever saw - the register locked up, alarms sounded, S.W.A.T. came down from the ceiling on those human fishing line thingies, Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones showed up in their black suits and flashy thing'ed me. All for a 16 oz. box of nonfat dried milk. Generic, at that.

Okay, I made some of that up, but the register did lock up and it was a big stupid deal to get it overridden so I could finish checking out. So what I'm wondering, and just hear me out here:

Why is it still on the shelves?

They can't make money off of it even accidentally, and it just causes a whole mess of trouble for everyone involved. Are they afraid of having an empty spot on a shelf? Or are they worried that the condensed milk and goat's milk are going to join forces and take over dried's territory while it's away, leaving nowhere to put a product that MAYBE 1 in every 250 people even buys in the first place when it's deemed safe again?

Seriously, is it that hard to send someone to pull a few boxes off a shelf?

But then, it IS Walmart, and this IS Southeastern Oklahoma...

*sigh*

That's all for now.

Later : )
