Life in the Fast Lane

Sunday, March 7, 2010

So, I had a birthday recently and, since I am rapidly approaching “mid-life,” I needed to commemorate it properly.  A lot has transpired in my life recently, specifically a series of decisions made to bring more positivity and to eliminate all that is negative.  Something that would serve as a constant reminder that life is [...]

Good News, Tucson!

Um, thank you?  I don’t even really know what this magazine is specifically about, but it poses the question, “What is happening to PASTORS?”
I am not sure, but judging by the photo it probably involves a rifle and a clocktower.  Not sure if it’s the PASTOR giving or receiving the lead host, but I am intrigued [...]

Tiger Woods Apologized. Can We Be Done Now?

Not that I think there was any requirement for an apology.  It’s none of my business.  It’s none of ANYONE’S business.  He cheated on his wife and got caught, but why is that national news?  This man makes his living by chasing a ball with a stick.
Who the hell do we think we are that [...]

Kiss My Ash!

I grew up Catholic.  For the most part, it wasn’t the worst thing in the world, except for the part where I had to go to mass at 7:30 every morning before school.  Ugh.  I get tired and bored just thinking about it.  Oh, yeah, and the part where the Catholic church believes that everyone [...]

Crappy Valentine’s Day!

Saturday, February 13, 2010

Well, tomorrow’s the big day, folks.  Quite possibly the lamest, most high-pressure holiday in existance, created for the sole purpose of making people spend huge sums of money on useless crap to prove their love…or, at the very least, make people feel like complete douchebags.
Don’t get me wrong.  I am a girl, ergo I like [...]

Goodwill Hunting

One of the best parts of thrifting, aside from finding fabulously valuable merchandise that you can flip on Ebay, are the small windows that open, allowing a deliciously voyeuristic glimpse into humanity.  Take Cynthia, for example, who probably didn’t even realize that she tucked these important papers into the book she was reading in the [...]

Welcome Home, Matthew!

My rant about the state of the universal healthcare initiative is going to have to wait.  Today, I am a douchebag.
For the past month, I have been lamenting the fact that an entire segment of my neighborhood has had their Christmast lights up…and LIT.  Every day we’d drive by and I would say, “Oh, take [...]

Indeed, it must.
I almost feel badly about starting my spew with another lame yarn of retail woe, but if we don’t teach these bitches how NOT to be pains-in-the-ass, they will never learn, right?  Of course, by “these bitches,” I mean, “anyone who shops in the store in which I work.”  There may be too [...]

Bullies Suck. Let’s Hate Them.

Wednesday, January 6, 2010

I have been thinking an awful lot about bullies and the general process of bullying, lately.  They’re everywhere, really.  They are the ones cutting you off in traffic and then giving you the finger.  They are the ones that cut in front of you in line at the grocery store and act like they didn’t [...]

Thus Concludes Another Year…

And I have absolutely nothing to write about.  
I have no lists to compile, I have no great sense of accomplishment or closure, I am just going to wake up tomorrow and it will be January, 2010.
Why this overwhelming sense of ennui? 
I have no idea.  Maybe it’s because of all the drama in 2009.  Maybe it’s [...]
