First, two failbook pictures that totally made me laugh.
That shit is for real. I actually make deals with the spiders in my house. If they stay in the guest room, they can live. If they venture in to my kitchen or bedroom, they are toast. Toast I say!
Oh, so true.
I got this next one from failbook too I think. I'm not crediting any of these photos because I either had them sent to me from friends, or they are from failbook.
I sometimes think I need to hang this one in my cubicle at work.
I love pretty much anything to do with the original Star Trek, but the fake motivational pictures and this make me super happy. Have you ever gone to YouTube and searched "Trololo man, Star Trek?" If not, you should do so immediately.
Carry on, captain!
I went to see the Go Go's this year and they sounded amazing, and looked gorgeous too. This old picture of them made me smile from ear to ear. Love those ladies.
Ahh, Belinda Carlisle dressed as Mary Anne Jalotnik dressed as Pat Benatar (Fast Times at Ridgemont High reference, in case you missed that. If you did miss it, shame on you. Go rent that movie!)
On the way in to work sometimes I park at the same time as this forty-something Nigerian gentleman. He drives a beautiful Mercedes and is always dressed impeccably. We talk about different things. The first day we ended up walking together I turned and asked, "Are you from Nigeria?" and he looked shocked. He said, "Yes, how did you know?" I said, "I once interviewed a Nigerian mother about differences in child rearing practices between Nigeria and here. I think your accent is one of the prettiest ones of all time." He got absolutely giddy. I don't know that I've ever seen a man that age get giddy. Anyways, my walks in with him in the morning really brighten my day. This morning we talked about making food from scratch, and how bad processed food is. He exclaimed that Americans have gotten positively lazy in the kitchen. Anyways, sometimes I really reject talking to strangers and I do everything possible to avoid it. I'm glad that wasn't the case with this fella.
Good on you for reaching out to a kind soul. I have serious trust issues with strangers as well, but certain people have 'cool' flashing above them. I can't help but to reach out at that point.
ReplyDeleteLove the blog, found you from Jax. I'm gonna follow.
I agree that certain people just give off a life force that tells you, "That is someone I should converse with." He is definitely one of them. Very interesting, and intelligent individual.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for the follow. Jax is awesome.
I have a Nigerian friend at work too. Every friend I have here is from a different culture. It's super interesting to learn about it. My one g/f is from Barbados. I love learning her recipes!
ReplyDeleteand LOL at the Spider comment. That reallyyyy scaresss meee!!! lol
I always joke about how I have a ton of brown friends and live in a brown neighborhood 'cause I hate whiteys.
ReplyDeleteMy mom is SO SCARED of spiders. They don't frighten me, I just don't want them in my house. Okay, the two black widows I found frightened me. I can not tell a lie.
I love it when I meet a stranger that turns out to be awesome too...that happened recently to me recently at the optometrist's office while I was waiting for Scott.
ReplyDeleteOops..sorry. Ignore the typos, I'm at treatment typing on a tiny pad, can't see anything b/c the lady next to me want the lights dimmed and Blogger won't let me edit. :(
ReplyDeleteWhat typos? Besides your use of four ellipses I see nothing wrong there. I am a fan of overuse...of the...ellipses.
ReplyDeleteOkay, I just saw that you used recently twice. See, you could've gotten away with it! I haven't had a decent night's sleep in over a week! :)
