Gentle Readers:
Here are the facts. Just the facts:
When outside of the homeless shelter today (The bridge), there was a woman (description: maybe in her 50s, wearing a white low-cut T-shirt, very skinny and missing some teeth).
She said she needed to "go to the bank" (I don't know which bank) and to "get some warm clothes." When I gave her the remains of a cheese omelette with a plastic fork to eat it with (I do not carry cheese omelettes around on a regular basis. Just had one with me from earlier), she said: "Girlfriend, I done died and went to heaven!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" (exclamation mark overload).
I am writing this briefly, so you will get a quick synopsis.
I'll do another post soon.
Go collect something, or SOMEONE you love.
love,
Alice

New Tantalizing Post
Hi,
I will do a post soon...
I was able to see The Karate Kid (with Jaden Smith, and Jackie Chan). During the beginning of the movie (and, some of the rest of the movie) I became exhausted with watching Jaden Smith pretend to be a sad, lonely child who has just moved to China.
I enjoyed the Detroit, MI scenes at the beginning of the movie ... but how many kids from Detroit really move to Beijing?
Enough anti-Jaden Smith rambling.
adios, Gentle Readers,
Alice

Go Paperless. Or, go braless. Paperless, Braless, What's the Difference?
Dear Readers:
As usual this post will be a compendium of random thoughts.
I will try to provide some guidance so that you don't say, "W.T.F.," but if the Guidance isn't enough, then you are left to navigate the blog and post with your Expert Cyberspace Skills only. Feel free to leave any comment you want. Whoa, but don't overload the server, now.
Why is everyone telling me to go paperless? I am a big proponent of the environment and I understand that it saves trees (I do try to go paperless when possible). In general, people should go paperless when they can.
But ...
I refuse to stop buying books or carry all of my books on an electronic device (like a Kindle or E-reader), just so I can "go paperless." ( I saw an ad that touted this advantage the other day, that is what sparked this thought ). I'm not against the Kindle, just do not want one right now.
I am tired of seeing "go paperless" constantly. Also, if there was no paper and no use for it any more, wouldn't we have too many trees? Now, gentle readers, that's a dilemma.
I prefer to go braless. Not REALLY, but I wanted to write that.
The other day I spoke to a homeless man (near Harry Hines Blvd. and Mockingbird in Dallas) (maybe in his early 50s, with a sad look in his eye, and a very colorful T-shirt ) who, after I gave him a dollar, told me: "my foot is so swollen," (I am not sure what was wrong with his foot) and "my dog just had babies." We didn't have much time to chat, so I was left to ponder, where does he keep his dog? In the homeless dog shelter?
And, how can he afford a dog? I'll have to ask when I'm not stopped at a stoplight.
Delicious CD / song you've been waiting for, but were afraid to ask:
Get the 3 oh! 3 album, Streets of Gold. (Okay, it's a little teenage-ish, are you surprised????????????????????????????? question mark overload) A good song on there is My First Kiss (duet with Kesha, or... if you prefer... Ke$ha). This album just came out in June. The group is from Boulder, Colorado, and basically they are white boys who rap and sing. Here is a link for you: 3Oh!3, from wikipedia.
I am working on changing the layout of the blog, so don't be surprised if you see future changes.
Okay, gotta go before I over use the bold symbol, Gentle Readers,
love,
Alice

Hi. Fresh Post Coming Up
I
will
do
a
post
soon.
When I was in Chick Fil A earlier, I ordered a Peach Milkshake. The cashier took a long time making my milkshake, leading me to wonder ... Did they run out of peaches? Then: Maybe Georgia ran out of peaches and could not ship them to Texas. Maybe the whole world ran out of peaches.
Then, the friendly chick fil a worker returned with my shake. He said he had to open a new batch of peach flavoring.
Okay, so no one ran out of peaches. Or any other fruit.
My
bad.
I have been meaning to post more on my blog, just haven't had the chance.
Do check out the Metric CD. It is called "Fantasies" and has the song, "Gold, Guns, Girls," on it. (Sort of rock and 80s music all at once). I think it is from 2009.
Um, peace, love, and all that goes with it.
I would say happy fourth but I am not feeling patriotic.
Love,
Alice
