High Points:

I had a little extra change so I decided to buy my wife and oldest son small but significant gifts.  For Tre, my first born son, I finally broke down and bought him his first laptop. In many ways it’s like his first car. Kids of this generation certainly value and use technology differently. They use it to connect with friends, relieve stress and escape life’s ills. In my day, we used actual cars for escapism. We call our friends, pooled together fuel loot and hit the highways to experience something new. Nowadays kids don’t hit the road to go anywhere, they make virtual discoveries. At age 13 I have no doubt that he will be prepared for the digital and high def demands of growing up in this era but I wonder if I am hurting more than I am helping.

As for my wife, I got her some ink, body ink to be exact. For the longest time she has dreamt of getting a very feminine and elaborate design that complimented her shape and held meaning all at the same time. For nearly two years I searched high and low for inspiration and then finally there it was. I saw a picture of a cherry blossom field on a farm in a small country in  Asia and immediately knew that I’d found the perfect design. After locating an artist, shelling out the dough and four hours of nonstop inking. She had her dream, etched onto her thigh and torso.

Themes for the Day:

·         How much memory does the laptop have?

·         The outline will hurt more than the shading right?

·         Thanks for keeping your word Dad!

·         I love you honey, it’s beautiful!

Low Points:

I went to the movies to see a new horror film entitled You’re Next. It was a spur of the moment decision. I normally devote much thought to the films I decide on seeing but after reading several favorable reviews I decided that this movie might be worth the matinee pricing. Well, five minutes into the film I start hearing noises behind me. Not your normal opening credits banter either, it sounded like someone was either having a seizure or an orgasm. I turned to look behind me and zeroed in on the culprit. It was a single female, slightly pudgy with glasses and a sever twitch who sat arrow back to the far left end of the theater. Good Lord, the sounds she made were unearthly. It sounded like she was belching and pooting all at the same time. Perhaps she was suffering from irritable bowel syndrome and Charlie horse pains all at the same time. I wanted to speak to her and ask her if she could stop and if she needed an ambulance but I decided against it.  I got up to get a manager. I told him that there was a woman in the theater goofing around and I couldn’t tell if she was having a seizure or a really good laugh. He followed me into the theater and like magic the sounds stopped. I sat there looking clownshit crazy and watched him leave. The moment the theater door shut behind him the noises started again. What the hell!

DAILY INSANITY:
One Word: Miracle
Never make a promise that you can’t keep. When you don’t keep your commitments the value of I don’t know if anyone else caught the movie Miracle starring Kurt Russell on rotation on Starz HD about the Lake Placid Gold Medal hockey team who beat the Soviets in the Olympics but dammit that’s an inspiring movie! I watched it nearly three times!

BUZZ WORD:  GLABELLA

Definition: The small space between your eyebrows and above your nose.
