I have a higher and grander expectation of life than average and everyday, but I am a realist and understand that life is 90% mediocre and 10% amazing; I can lie to myself, living as ignorance is bliss, but Instead, I choose to enjoy every bit grand or low.

Have you Seen this?......I Have To Try It!


Have you seen this anywhere? WANTED: At least a bottle...to try. I am a die hard Diet Dr. Pepper fan. I tease that when they embalm me for the coffin...they will drain pure Diet Dr. Pepper from my veins. I loved Diet Cherry Vanilla and Berry Cream....but this I have to try. I am willing to pay someone to send me a bottle...Ha Ha...A friend said they were selling it on ebay...will it really come to that...will I have to purchase a bottle from ebay...I am not sure that is safe...buying soda from a person of ebay. That would definitely be a low. I can't find it anywhere in my area...how sad the day...when American capitalism fails to bring a fashionable soda to a willing customer...

Richie Rich? Investment in Entertainment or Stupidity on the Rocks?


Guinness World Records held a special ceremony to crown an original Trader Vic’s Mai Tai as the most expensive cocktail in the world. At $1480 per cocktail at the Merchant Hotel in Belfast in Northern Ireland you can sip this sweet confection. This Mai Tai is made from 17-year-old Wray and Nephew Rum used by trader Vic Bergeron to create the original Mai Tai over sixty years ago. Even though the 750ml bottle of rum looks plain but it costs £26,000 per bottle. A rare batch of the 17-year-old rum was recently acquired with one bottle being purchased by Merchant’s Bar. There are only three of the world’s most expensive cocktails have been made. Can you believe it? Honestly....the more money the less worry over what is done with it, but the more worry over making it? I wouldn't know, I don't even have enough for the toothpick afterward. Take a look, I dare you!

For me its impossible to imagine spending that much on a cocktail. Definitely not what I would do with that much money. Can anyone explain to me how you can rationalize spending more than 5 bucks on a cocktail? Maybe at a wedding, anniversary or birthday, but still more than 20 dollars is ridiculous.

Raise your hand!

Raise your hand if you are as angry at 1 800 numbers, computer animated voices and the phrase:"All our operators are busy, please hang up and try this number later" I have called three offices, the University Financial Aid, Dell Tech support and University Registration office. All three times I heard that phrase 6 times trying to get a hold of someone. Finally I gave up...then the semi-colon key fell off my laptop.....Please what have I done to bring this upon myself? So in order to stop myself from complaining about my ADD cousin yanking the key of my laptop or about the Financial Aid debacle, I have decided to stop right here and not write a word more until tomorrow.......its too depressing....
