Grab Bag Fridays: You and Me
(1 Cent): You Asked ...
So, I'm just replying back to a couple of the comments or e-mails I received. If you would like to chime in about anything, leave a comment by clicking on the envelope icon at the end of the columns or just e-mail HCP2007@gmail.com. The following is real responses from real people (real impressive, huh?):
Q: "I hear ya on the hug there, but then I start to think, is this the "I never want to see you again but I feel sorry for you and may God have mercy on your soul" good night hug, or is it the "I like you" hug? Maybe I'm just a little schizophrenic or something?" -- Crash N. Burnett
HCP: Well, to me at the moment it happened, I wouldn't be wondering between the two because ... hey, she hugged you! Hugs from the ladies are hugs from the ladies. To decide what kind of hug it was will probably be deciphered from the response from her for the second (or third) date. If she's all "yeah, I totally want to go out again" then the hug was the "I like you" hug ... if her response is, "I'm washing my dog's hair that night" then it was more along the lines of "I never want to see you again ..." hug.
Q: "My question is, did you have to call it a 'grab bag'? You sicko." -- James, San Jose, CA.
HCP: Yes, James. I did. I couldn't copy Bill Simmons' "Mailbag" ... plus the word "grab" can have so many connotations ... gotta love that.
Q: "Have you heard Busta Rhymes new Album???? I bought it and it still hasn't left my CD player. Once you hear it all the way through I promise you it will be one of your favs." -- Danny G
HCP: Yes, I have heard Busta's new album "The Big Bang" ... in fact, that's the perfect CD to review for this upcoming Tuesday (as I didn't purchase a new one this last week). I'll save all my comments about it for then ... but I must say, the remix of "Touch It" featuring Mary J. Blige, Rah Digga, Missy Elliott, Lloyd Banks, Papoose, and DMX is WAY money (unfortunately, the remix isn't on the album). It is my favorite Busta CD overall ... but I'll talk about it more Tuesday (yes, I'm leaving you in suspense).
Q: "I love reading your blog. One of my Biggest pet peeve's (not a nickname for my appendage) is people who are self righteous. I know of several people who willingly tell me my faults and then as soon as I tell them theirs, enter a rant ... I figure if we are correcting people and if we are at such a level of relationship that we can be so open as to tell people what to do, how to do it regardless of what the other persons individual cirumstances are... exit rant, they get their feelings hurt or think that I am an a**hole. Anyhow this is one of my many pet peeves.
Another one is people who are in such a damn hurry that not only do they have to change lanes numerous times while driving, usually in an attempt to get ahead by one more car length, that they won't even signal. Not signaling is the pet peeve. Today I saw a guy change lanes from the right three lanes to the left and then a mile later change three lanes to the right in commuter traffic all without SIGNALING!
Thanks for letting me comment." -- BlogMaGog
HCP: Now this is a comment and some. You bring up two very good pet peeve points (ahh, alliteration). I agree -- some people are all to willing to point out what's wrong with you but if you give some (positive?) criticism back, then they think you're a demon. It's gotta go both ways. If this helps at all, I don't think you're an a**hole ... if only for the sole fact you wrote in to my blog.
As for driving .... oh, ho, HO do I have two and a half cents about that (you see how I plugged my own site in my own site? Brilliant). I think you inspired me for next Thursday's pet peeve article. Turning without signaling is one of my biggest pet peeves while driving ... and you will hear all the other ones next week. Thanks for the idea!
Thanks to you all for writing in! Keep 'em coming!
(2 Cent): New Game Plan?
In light of my future new employment, where I will not have computer access all day, I will have to shorten my blog entries from about 5 days a week to about 3. My idea is to combine sports and music into one day, on Monday and call it "Spmusic Mondays." That will leave Tuesday open. I also plan to cut Relationship Wednesdays out ... I'm not Dr. Phil ... I'd be more like Dr. Phil Your Legs. I can still answer relationship questions or talk about such on Grab Bag Fridays (which I want to keep). That will open up Wednesday. By popular demand (three people), Pet Peeve Thursdays will stay. Friday will still be the Grab Bag (sorry James from San Jose). I feel it will be easier to keep up with 3 days than 5, especially since I'm not getting any paper for it (paper meaning money, people). What do you think?
(1/2 Cent): Grab This!
Keep writing in those comments and questions. I am impressed with the quality for just the first week. Remember: Fridays are all about you! Write in to HCP2007@Gmail.com or leave a comment at the end! Thanks and have a good weekend! HCP out!
