Just A Few Tidbits

January has been one long ass month.  And a bitter month at that.  I'm just glad it's over and I hope that February will be much kinder.  I'm ready for some sunny skies and temperatures above freezing.  I'm sure I'm not the only one. 

Justin Bieber is a jackass.  I've never been a fan but then again I survived puberty years ago and I just don't dig that kind of music at my age.  Regardless, Bieber is a prime example of too much money and fame way too fast and too young, poor parenting, poor guidance and absolutely no respect for others.  Who pees in a mop bucket in a restaurant's kitchen anyway?  Oh yeah, someone who is not completely sober.  And how many clubs has he tried to enter only to be turned away because he's nineteen?  Dude, you're not old enough yet!  Get a grip!  And why in the hell would anyone willingly lend-slash-rent a high powered, high cost car to a young and very dumb kid?  Sadly, money talks.  Unfortunately, he won't have much left if he keeps this kind of behavior up.  I say put him on an allowance along with a big fat spanking on the ass.  He clearly needs it.  I'm tired of him showing up in my news feed.  Send him back to Canada where he belongs.  Is it too late for me to add my name to that petition?  

Phillip Seymour Hoffman.  Now there's a shock.  Didn't see that coming at all.  I had no idea that he struggled with drug addiction.  And it's sad that he did.  He really was a great actor and was wide in his variety of roles.  I thought he was fantastic in Capote.  Earned an Oscar for that role.  Now he's earned the 'death by overdose'.  Sad. 

As independent as I am and as 'un-girly' as I am, there is a bit of romantic inside.  I don't need roses and fancy dinners but I do like small gestures and those little stolen moments.  I wish to have someone by my side to put up a Christmas Tree and watch the lights twinkle and wonder with curiosity what's inside that wrapped gift box.  I want that New Year's kiss at midnight.  I want a Valentine and have a nice dinner with some lovely wine, good conversation and good old fashioned cuddling.  Again, I don't need a lot of pomp and circumstance, but just a small piece of that Hallmark Card pie.  That's all.  Not too much to ask don't ya think?  However, my Christmas and my New Year's were spent working, so no romance for me there.  I still have hopes for Valentine's but I really don't think I will score that magical date.  No worries.  I've mailed out my Valentine's already to those who are near and dear so that will do for now. 

My brother died unexpectedly twenty-eight years ago this year.  Can't believe it's been that long.  Sometimes I really, really miss him.  Most of the time I just carry on like I have been.  I've noticed within the last year or so that some of the pictures that have been taken of me I have his smile.  Even my nose seems to be similar.  I've never really noticed it before.  Don't know if it's always been that way, or if I have subconsciously adopted his mannerisms.  They say that your nose and ears really don't stop growing, so maybe some of my facial features are morphing.  Maybe I'm just getting older and changing the way I smile and pose.  Who knows.  Maybe it's just his way of being around me and it shows up when I have my picture taken.  Either way, I think it's a good thing.  

Okay, so that's about it folks.  Just another day in my upside down world.  Stay warm and let's all think about a nice, long Spring.  I'm ready!  Aren't you?  elizinashe
