Random thoughts from today:
My mother is a conspiracy theorist.
Patrick Swayze was really hot in Dirty Dancing.
I love coffee.
I'm not sure if it's really appropriate to address all three of these interesting topics in the same post, but let's have a go at it.
My mother told me today that the census is just a way for the socialists to take over our lives and try to find out as much as they can about us so they can ruin the world. Why do they need to know what time I go to work and come home? Uh, traffic patterns? Highway and road planning. That's rediculous. It's just a front. Okay.
My mother also told me today that you don't lose weight by excercising. Hmm. Well, I'm pretty sure to lose weight you have to burn more calories than you take in. It's not about burning calories. It's not? You have to eat right. That's how you lose weight. Uh, huh. So the show "Biggest Loser" is just a sham then? What's the point of exercise? It makes you healthy. Oh. It makes you healthy, but you don't lose weight by doing it? Right. Okay, it's all clear now.
I don't like spending time with my mother. Spending time with my mother is comparable to getting a root canal. It's really painful, but it's got to be done. And if you don't do it, the pain will get worse. If only there was nitrous around when I had to spend time with my mom. That might make it much more agreeable.
On that note, Patrick Swayze was really hot in Dirty Dancing. I think the fact that his character's name is Johnny really adds to his hotness. I'm not sure why. I feel like Johnny is the name of any typical bad boy character. Wasn't the guy in Greece named Johnny? Or was it Eddie? No matter. Patrick Swayze was smokin' in this movie. I can't say that I've ever before been a huge fan of the Swayze. I'll tell you what though, the scene when Baby seduces him with a sexy slow dance. Hot.
Patrick Swayze was not hot in Ghost, though. Or anything else I've seen him in. I don't think. I think the fact that I'm not a Demi Moore fan combined with the fact that I'm not a Whoopi Goldberg fan kind of ruin the whole movie for me. Plus, his name in Ghost is Sam. Not Johnny. Maybe if he'd been named Johnny in Ghost he'd have been hot. We'll never know now.
All I can say is, thank God for coffee. It's such a comforting beverage, and not just because it's hot. Cocoa is hot and it doesn't do it for me like coffee does. It's not even the caffeine because I drink decaff, from time to time, and it still does the job. I'm going to throw out there that it's not even the taste or smell of coffee that makes coffee so great. I think, for me, I psychologically have a lot of positive attachments, or associations if you will, to the word "coffee". I thank Folgers. Their Christmas commercial really hit it home for me. Or was it the one with Randy Travis on a tour bus? The best part of wakin' up, is Folgers in your cup. Not that it has to be Folgers. Coffee is magical and has healing powers. It warms my soul.
We'll leave it at that for today. (Unless the socialists kidnap us in the night. In which case we won't be here tomorrow.)
