Why This Car

Why This Car

America loves their cars. As a matter of fact, in my travels to many countries, I have found that everyone loves cars. Why they love a particular car is in the mind of the beholder.

Here are some of the many reasons I can think of:

* I'm all into saving the planet so I want an electric or hybrid car. Kenny's comment - an electric car will not save the planet. That's because the planet is going to be just fine even after we pollute and destroy the environment. You see, after we blow ourselves up the planet will rejuvenate itself and all the cockroaches will survive. However, by buying an electric car you will save time before Climate Change does us in. Therefore, buying an electric car is more about saving your ass then saving the planet.

* I love the way it looks and I love the way it makes me feel. Kenny's comment - If you need a good-looking car to make you feel better, I suggest you talk to a mentor about your insecurities.

* I'm all into utility. I don't care what the car looks like, I just want to be able to get all my kids and or friends into it. I also want to make sure I can store all the stuff, I don't need, from Costco. I also want all the safety features that make me feel safe while driving. Kenny's comment - now this person has their shit together.

* I'm all into prestige. The more the car costs the better it looks and the more it makes others think I'm successful. Kenny's comment - now this person doesn't have their shit together.

* I'm all into price. I want the best car I can get that meets my budget. Kenny's comment - This person is either cheap or knows how to manage their budget. This person will probably have plenty of money to retire on. Just as an aside, too many people spend more on a car than they can afford. It's sad, but true. 

Wake Up People - a car's main purpose is to get you from one place to another.

For me personally, I love my Honda CRV. It hits all the buttons I want in a car. 

What About You

You Talk Too Much

You Talk Too Much

Did, in the past, or do you now have a girlfriend or boyfriend or worse yet, a husband or wife that Talked Too Much - UGH. Below are the lyrics from the George Thorogood song. It made me laugh - especially the ending.

George Thorogood And The Destroyers Lyrics

"You Talk Too Much"

You talk too much, you talk too much

I can't believe the things that you say everyday

If you keep on talking baby

You know you're bound to drive me away

Now you get on the telephone with your girlfriend

Your conversation baby ain't got no end

Yakety-yakety-yakety-yak all the time

You keep on talking baby drive me out of my mind

You talk too much

I can't believe the things that you say everyday

If you keep on talking baby

You know you're bound to drive me away

Well I laid out in the afternoon I start to nappin'

You walk into the room with them jaws a-flappin'

You keep that motormouth moving morning, noon and night

You keep on talking baby make my head turn white

You talk too much

I can't believe the things that you say everyday

If you keep on talking baby

You know you're bound just to drive me away

I think you're trying to put me through some kind of test

I'm begging you baby won't you give it a rest

You talk about people that you don't even know

Keep it up baby I'm gonna pick up and blow

You talk too much

I can't believe the things that you say everyday

If you keep on talking baby

You know you're bound to drive me away

Don't get me wrong baby I don't mean to complain

But if you keep on talking you're gonna drive me insane

You keep on talking all around the clock

I'm begging you baby won't you please stop

You talk too much

I can't believe the things that you say everyday

If you keep on talking baby

You know you're bound to drive me away

Honey, I hear you. Yes dear. You're right dear. (Under his breathe) "shut the F up.

How Many Times Do You Say The Word Appreciate

How Many Times Do You Say The Word Appreciate

If you don't say the word Appreciate or Appreciate something you've seen at least once a day (even if you don't say it out loud), you're missing a great chance to make yourself a happier person. From our early creation we evolved into creatures that don't normally take a step back and Appreciate. 

We spend too much of our energy on negatives things, having blinders on when we see or hearing something to Appreciate, not giving a shit, or not focused on what we have verses what we don't have. 

To really Appreciate something, you have to be able to take something in and let your mind absorb what it's seeing or hearing in a positive way. Another way of putting it is, taking into your brain, something someone says or something you see that makes you very happy.

I just went to a huge party. It was fabulous. I loved the food, the music, the dancing and the friendly people most of whom I did not know. A few times during the party, I'd be sitting at my table and Appreciate what was going on in front of me. 

The next day, I sent a text to the hosts of the party saying how much I loved the Party and how much I Appreciate being their friends. Saying this made me feel good and I hoped it made them feel good - positive energy begets positive energy.

I was on the phone with my medical provider. She did such a great job communicating with me and making sure I had the information I needed. I must have said how much I Appreciated her three or four times. She deserved it and I really Appreciated her.

Appreciation is a feel-good word. As I've always said: "words are very important - words have meaning." Taking the few seconds to Appreciate something will just make your day better. Taking the few seconds to tell someone how much you Appreciate what they said or their actions will not only make your day better it will make their day better.

Sooo, 

How Many Times Do You Say The Word Appreciate

It Feels So Good When She Stops

It Feels So Good When She Stops

The Midterm Election reminds me of the old joke:

"This guy's wife hits him over the head with a hammer every day. His best friend asks him: "why do you let her do that to you?" He says back: "because it feels so good when she stops."

I don't know about you, but I'm so glad the Midterm Election is over. My mail usually comes by 1 PM. for the last two months my mail has been coming around 5 PM because of all the "vote for me" and "don't vote for him or her because....... mail. I never read any of it and just put it into the trash.

I usually record the shows I want to see. This is really necessary during the Midterm Election because of the horrible attack ads that go on and on for months. Sooo, I just skip over them just to keep me sane.

Having the right to vote is the basis of Democracy. I very happy that more people came out to vote in this Midterm Election as compared to previous elections. What I'm not happy about is the BILLIONS of dollars spent to convince me and others to vote for their candidate. 

In my opinion, most of the people in America already knew who that were going to vote for. Therefore, the BILLIONS could have been used to cure cancer and the result of the election would have come out the same.

Now, everybody is saying: "we won." The real answer is, America won because "The People" had a chance to have their voice heard. As you know, this is not true in many, many other countries.

Some people believe that because the House went to the Democrats and the Senate went to the Republicans, we will have two years of gridlock. I choose to not believe that. America always finds its way. If nothing good gets done "We The People" will vote for people who will get it done. In the grand scheme of things, politically, two years is a blip on the radar. 

Again, America will always find a way to heal itself. 

For me personally:

It Just Feels So Good That It Has Stopped!

Why Get Up And Get A Haircut And Get A Real Job

Why Get Up And Get A Haircut And Get A Real Job

As you know I love listening to rock and roll. I heard two songs today that put a smile on my face. Hope you enjoy the lyrics:

Why Get Up

The Fabulous Thunderbirds

Why get up, why get up
How can I get up, why should I get up
This whole world's gone crazy
Think I've seen enough
I'm gonna sleep forever why get up

Phone keeps ringing right off the hook
Some bill collector, I know what cooks
Think I'll stay in bed, dream all day
World outside bugs me anyway
When I get things going, the going gets rough
So I ask myself why get up

Why get up, why get up
How can I get up, why should I get up
This whole world's gone crazy
Think I've seen enough
I'm gonna sleep forever why get up

Went to the doctor, he said lose some weight
If you don't do it quick, we'll have to operate
I talked to my lawyer, he said case is closed
That woman got it all even the garden hose
Staring at the ceiling thinking just my luck
Better roll back over why get up

Why get up, why get up
How can I get up, why should I get up
This whole world's gone crazy
Think I've seen enough
I'm gonna sleep forever why get up

Well I can't quit drinking, I'm nervous all the time
When I wake up, it's like a ton lead on my mind
What was it, I said to that girl last night
She really got upset, I best stay out of sight
I remember a gun and calling somebody's bluff
I better duck under the cover why get up

Why get up, why get up
How can I get up, why should I get up
This whole world's gone crazy
Think I've seen enough
I'm gonna sleep forever why get up

Get A Haircut And Get A Real Job

George Thorogood

I was a rebel from the day I left school
Grew my hair long and broke all the rules
I'd sit and listen to my records all day
With big ambitions of when I could play

My parents taught me what life was about
So I grew up the type they warned me about
They said my friends were just an unruly mob
And I should get a haircut and get a real job

Get a haircut and get a real job
Clean your act up and don't be a slob
Get it together like your big brother Bob
Why don't you get a haircut and get a real job

I even tried that nine to five scene
I told myself that it was all a bad dream
I found a band and some good songs to play
Now I party all night, I sleep all day

I met this chick, she was my number one fan
She took me home to meet her mommy and dad
They took one look at me and said "Oh my god!"
Get a haircut and get a real job

Get a haircut and get a real job
Clean your act up and don't be a slob
Get it together like your big brother Bob
Why don't you get a haircut and get a real job

Get a real job, why don't you get a real job
Get a real job, why don't you get a real job

I hit the big time with my rock and roll band
The future's brighter now than I'd ever planned
I'm ten times richer than my big brother Bob
But he's got a haircut he's got a real job

Get a haircut and get a real job
Clean your act up and don't be a slob
Get it together like your big brother Bob
Why don't you get a haircut and get a real job

Get a real job, why don't you get a real job
