THERE MUST BE SOMETHING IN THE WATER

I don't know what happened yesterday, but for some reason I got more hits on Monday than I ever had in one day. Must have been something in the water or else you guys were extremely bored. In any case, keep coming back as I enjoy the company.


Last night I took it easy- V-E-R-Y easy; I took a small nap at around 7pm; I ended up waking up at 11:30pm. There goes my Monday night. Now since I can't sleep, I thought I'd go out for a midnite walk. On my way back from my brisk stroll, I stopped by EXCEL NEWS to say hi to my buddy behind the counter. While engaged in a conversation, I ran into my buddy LITTLE BRITAIN. He's a good friend of mine here on work detail from London. It was ironic that he stopped in the store because I'd been thinking about the fact that he was scheduled to move back to London within the next week or so. Interestingly enough, he indicated that his stay would be extended for a couple of weeks, so he will now be here until mid-February. We had been talking about going out for dinner before he left so now we can plan it out. He's a pretty cool guy and I'll be sorry to see him leave.

Speaking of world news and events, yesterday was the National Election for our neighbors to the north. There was a change at the top as Stephen Harper (no, not the big bald black school principal from "Boston Public") defeated incumbent Paul Martin to become the new head of CANADA. I somehow get the strange feeling that there will be more scrutinized coverage of the latest AMERICAN IDOL rejects than on the results of their big election. And of course, our neighbors to the north will probably be pissed as all hell at our indifference. And of course, we probably won't even realize it, because we'll be too busy hanging on SIMON COWELL's every word. Fitting.

BTW, has anyone seen that new commercial for the New York Lottery? The one where the people are shopping for cars, boats, thoroughbred horses, etc? Is it me or is it one of the funniest commercials made in a long time? Every time I see it, I crack up:
Setting: A large, Costco-type of superstore:
BLACK MALE: I'm gettin' me a French Maid
BLACK FEMALE: Well if you are getting a French Maid, I'm gettin me a pool boy
BLACK MALE: You ain't bringin' a pool boy to my house!
(later in the commercial)
BLACK MALE: I am getting a professional sports franchise
BLACK FEMALE: You know you can't buy that!
BLACK MALE: Oh yes I can! Cause I'M RICH!

Priceless.

SWANFATHER SONG OF THE WEEK: "Unpredictable" by Jamie Foxx. Now I can't stand his ass on a personal level, however, this song makes a brotha want to break out his "Shaft" leather pants and crack open a bottle of Gallo Chablis and mack the ladies...
Okay, too much info...

It's Tuesday and that means that DOLLAR DRAFT MADNESS continues tonite. Stop by for $1 mugs of BUD/BUD LIGHT from 4pm - Close. See you then!
