Things/people I appreciate more than ever

  • Comedians like Lenny Bruce, George Carlin...they tell it like it is, and they show us that "antics with semantics" happen every day, and we're just as guilty as the next guy/gal.
  • Comedians like Bob Golthwait and Carrot Top, because they have no qualms about acting the way they do to get laughs. Carrot Top, especially...he needs a good conditioner, but he's really hilarious.
  • Marvin Gaye...besides the fact that his music wants to make me screw like a mink, he was a superb musician, singer, and lyricist. He had a tragic life, to be sure, but he could sing and make you forget your cares.
  • Naps...'nuff said
  • Pens...I love pens. Most any kind...gel, ball point, roller ball, fountain, calligraphy, felt tip. I have always loved pens, but now more than ever.
  • Adam Sandler...he is REALLY funny! That's it, end of story. He's an attractive man who isn't afraid to act stupid.
  • Coen brothers movies...the dialogue is so funny and lightning quick, it's unreal. I have yet to see "The Ladykillers", but the line I've heard from it, "Waffles! We must have waffles forthwith!" is really classic.
  • My friends. The ones I have now accept me for who I am, and we're all mature enough to let it all "hang out", as it were. We're gray, fat, divorced (some multiple times), and life hasn't worked out the way we thought it would, but we're still happy. We abhor the ones whose lives have gone strictly according to plan, because we're certain that "Made in Taiwan" is tattooed on their ass.
  • My family (some of them, anyway)...the ones that have bonded together in the last few years are my pride and joy. We've gone through hell and back, and life with them is good.
  • My nieces and nephew...they keep me young, and I love them more than my own life. They mean everything to me, and their humor and outlook keeps me in stitches.

Anyone care to comment? Please do...
