Grab Bag Fridays: Gimme Some Mo'

(1 Cent): You Say, I Say

Well, there were not many e-mails or comments this week (I guess I wasn't the only slacker). But, here are the two I received:

Q: "HCP- After having read this last Friday's grab bag....(nice pun) I was sad to hear that the blogs will be shortened to three entries a week. And maybe due to differences in taste I was even more sad to hear that relationship Wednesdays is gone. As pure suggestion only I think it would be more entertaining to hear about that than Spmusic because that will limit the bloggers to only those who are interested in that particular genre (leaning more towards the music...sports is good) unless its branched out. And just although for pet peeve Thursday, how about people that park their cars in the street right in front of a store like wal-mart where you have to go on the wrong side of the road to pass just because someone is too fat to walk ten more feet to their handicap space.... If you're too fat to walk 10 extra feet you better invest in a rascal scooter. Thanks for looking over my comment..." -- Smooth like KY

HCP: Yes, I'm as sad as you are that I will have to be shortening my blog to three days a week. Believe me, if I could, I would write one every day ... but I'd have to be paid for it. I suppose I'm only "limiting" my audience by writing the sports and music, but I do have to write about what I like (and know). I believe in pleasing the masses, but you can't please everyone. I don't know how many more people I would get reading my blog if I did reserve a whole day for relationship talk, so time-wise I'm not so sure it's worth it. Again, today (Grab Bag Fridays) is the day to ask any and everything ... and for me to write about anything and everything. That includes relationships. So, if there is anything you'd like some advice on, all you (and anyone) has to do is comment or write to my e-mail address. Problem solved!

About your pet peeve ... hmmm ... that gets me thinking about laziness in general. That could be a good one. I'll have to incorporate that somewhere down the line.

P.S. I'm guessing "Smooth like KY" isn't referring to Kentucky ... yikes.

Q: "I'm not trying to call you a liar but I bet you weren't kidding when you said, "the cross-wristed double birds (kidding!)." is a way you release your anger. I know it works well for me. Either the the cross-wristed double birds or a piece of strange @$$, either way I will be satisfied. By the way great article." -- L. Mach

HCP: Yeah, I might not have been kidding. It's just not something I would condone ... although it does make me giddy. As does your mention of "a piece of strange @$$" ... you intrigue me, L. Mach ... you intrigue me ....

(2 Cent): Random Ramblings ...

So, I just wanted to write some things that have been on my mind in the past couple of days ... maybe you can relate ... maybe you'll think I'm weird ... either way, it should be a good use of your valuable time:

-- Yesterday, I saw two isolated incidents of nose picking (one female and one male) ... they were at least in their early 30's. Why does this still happen, especially in public, with your finger sans tissue? Sick, sick, sick.

-- Have you ever been around someone with some atrocious B.O. and you don't want another person (even if it's a stranger whom you will never see again) to think it's you? This just happened to me ... I'm not a fan.

-- Do you have a friend that says they hate it when people repeat themselves, but yet you hear the same stories over and over from them? The irony is killing me inside.

-- Have you noticed that commercials before the movie starts (in a theater) are happening more and more? I think those combined with previews (which aren't all that bad) add up to 35 minutes ... at least that's what it was when I last went. Is this good?

-- Is it bad when you're going off about how much you need money, you're borrowing money at an insane interest rate, but then when I call you, you have a ringtone?

-- Is it just me, or does somebody else out there believe that "hand sanitizer" is kind of gross ... it feels like you're just massaging those germs into your hands ... right?

(1/2 Cent): Write Me or Face The Consequences!

Okay, there's no consequences. But if you write in it will be for a better read on Fridays! I don't care if you're written in before or that you'll feel you'll write too much ... I only have like 8 readers right now. Tell your friends, let them know too. Write in about anything ... questions, comments, wanted advice, your pet peeves, weird stories ... it doesn't even have to be tasteful! Just write away to HCP2007@gmail.com. To those of you who have written in already, I give you a big thank you! Until Monday ... HCP out!
