I’m dry. I have some sort of weird writer’s block where I have lots of ideas and no coherent way to put them into words. Very frustrating.

So things I’ve been thinking about lately:

  • How cool are roller coasters? I pass Six Flags everyday coming home from work and I always hope to catch a glimpse of one of the coasters cresting the top of that first climb and then hurtling down the big drop. I love watching it. If I get into an accident at my exit it will be because I’m watching The Eagle instead of the road.
  • What is with the crap they put in our food? There are kids who have adverse reactions to chemicals in our foods. One of the biggest culprits is red dye and no wonder, it’s made from petroleum. Cuz that’s good for us.
  • What’s with the Ukraine? Other countries have good names that don’t require use of “the” in order to make them sound right. It’s not The Germany or the The Mozambique. You don’t say I’m going to The Peru or The Yemen. So why The Ukraine. I vote we change it to something friendlier sounding like Ukrainia or Ukrainistan. Those really roll of the tongue much smoother.

So not a very long list but my mind is sort of fragmented lately. I’m having a hard time staying awake but in case you’re following my sleeping patterns, I haven’t fallen asleep on the couch yet this week. Yay me!
