Brake Rider

They make me crazy. The person who is constantly riding on thier brakes. Some of these people amaze me. Exactly HOW do they drive while pushing the brake at the same time. I don't mean tapping, I mean riding it, yet the car is still moving forward. I got behind one of these jackasses this morning and I swear he/she made me put on my own brakes as if I were a brake rider.

I think I must be pmsing..again. Bring on the chocolate martinis...in buckets.

The Loop Brain Phenomenon

You know what that is..when you get a stupid song or saying stuck in your head and it keeps repeating over and over and over. Well, I have been experiencing that A LOT lately. I think I am the queen of loop brain. Today, it is Carrie Underwood's 'Before He Cheats' stuck in my head. Not a bad song...until I hear it over and over in my head. Now I'm sick of it. A lot of the time I can ignore loop brain..tune it out if you will. However, when I'm trying to say my prayers at night and Madonna's 'Like a Virgin' is playing in my cranial background...something just doesn't seem right about that. I hope God understands that I can't turn it off. The power button on my brain MP3 is broken. Oh great, now it is 'Mr. Sandman'...shoot me please.

The Eternal Quest for Knowledge

Why do I have this deep need to complete my Ph.D.? Why must I reach the goal of 'Doctor Kim'? As I am sitting here perusing over a paper I just wrote, I am thinking to myself..I am going to have to write this times a 1000 when I get to my dissertation. Why, why, why... I originally wanted to get my Ph.D. to teach at the collegiate level. Well, I have achieved that goal already (the teaching part). I dunno..I am sure this is all very boring to my friends reading this post. Hell, it is about to put me to sleep. Let's discuss something else.

St. Patrick's Day. Also known as The Day to Get Smithering Drunk and Bar Hop to Your Heart's Content. Uh huh, that's right people..that's how we do it here in Big D. We first start off in the morning with a parade down Greenville Avenue. Once the parade starts, generally that is everyone's *go* signal to start pouring the Mimosas and Bloody Marys. Once the parade is over, the city shuts down Greenville to motor traffic and allows folks to go from bar to bar, drinking, socializing outside with as many open containers as one can hold. It is just like being back in college. Hey..which somewhat relates to the first paragraph in this blog! Sweet.....

Anyway...it is Friday. My brain is fried and this is about all I can think about writing for today Dear Bloggers. Oh.. I did get a new car on Wednesday. Got a Volvo S60. I always thought of Volvos as soccer mom cars. Not so much anymore. This sucker is fast and I love it!
