"Need A Job Please" and What Does Taco Bueno Mean?
Readers,
A telling tale of sadness and despair:
I was driving by the Tom Thumb shopping center at Preston and Forest, in Dallas today. I stopped to talk to a man holding a sign which said, "Need a Job Please." (At first I thought, "that's a good idea!" Sooner or later, someone has to say yes).
The compelling factor that made me stop was that the man looked kind of desperate, and I needed to find out more about his story.
Details: The man was in his early 50s or older. He was a little scruffy looking but not extremely messy. He had white hair and light-colored eyes.
When I asked if I could take his picture, he said, "no, I'm too ugly!"
When I talked to him, he said his name was Lynn. He said he has been out of work for 14 months. His reason for standing out there with the sign? "I was hoping somebody would give me something." He seemed sad and weary.
Not many people seemed to be slowing down to read his sign, or showing any kind of vague interest in him. That saddened me.
Many times I would just blow off an occurrence like this. But for whatever reason, I'm going to remember the man for a while. I am also looking for a job, but that is not the only reason I felt disturbed.
There are too many stories like this lately. What used to be sadness for the jobs state in our society has turned to frustration and: me grappling for answers. Grapple, grapple, grapple.... that's the sound of me grappling for answers.
a new item:
At the mysterious unnamed place where I volunteer, a man (He is not Hispanic. He is maybe in his 40s) was trying to say "your welcome" in Spanish. Using his best humor, he instead said, "Taco Bueno." I witnessed the whole thing. I have heard this before, and it was only funny the first time. For 2 seconds.
"Taco Bueno," when translated, literally means, "Good Taco." Or it can mean, "O.k. taco." I will take even more liberty and say that it sounds like, "My taco was o.k."
So, for anyone who was planning to use this phrase to say, "your welcome," I would like for you to know, you will be walking around saying, "My taco was o.k." If that is o.k. with you, then go ahead. Just a little advice from n.d.h.
Keep listening to Coldplay,
bye,
Alice

"we roast nuts daily"
To y'all idiosyncratic readers ( I am eating beef jerky while I say y'all ):
The other day I passed a place in Fort Worth. The marquee sign on the outside made me do a double take, which was not easy. The sign for the nut company said, "We Roast Nuts Daily, 8:30 to 5:00."
The location of said marquee is Vending Nut Company. I was thinking, why are they so proud that they roast nuts daily? What is the purpose? In case a whole family wants to go watch them roast nuts?
Anyway in case you need a fun excursion the number is: (817) 737-3071.
To all who have been waiting eagerly with baited breath: The Strokes will release a new album March 21. The new collection is called Angles. Here is a link to a story that talks about their new album. It is from the Addict Music site. I thought it was from The Guardian, but either way it is a link you would not otherwise have, thanks to n.d.h. : The Strokes. YOUR WELCOME.
feel sad that borders is closing nearby. :(
happy monday,
Alice

Hi Y'all... I Am Sick of the word Y'ALL
Hi Y'ALL:
I am so sick of the word y'all... probably because I have spent too much time in Fort Worth, TX.
Aside from the fact that it doesn't really mean anything, it is an easy way out when one does not want to say "you all."
I will do a post soon.
Be prepared for a titillating story.
Do something to help the homeless. That is my suggestion to all gentle readers. If you are not gentle, go and help a pit bull. That was a joke, Lovely Readers.

lunch time.
Gentle Readers! :
I am going to do a post soon...
But here is my tidbit: for lunch I had a slice of pizza and a frappuccino. It was o.k.
Lately, I am always striving to have a good lunch and I seem to be constantly frustrated that it does not happen. It is like one long stream of meal non-satisfaction. And then, I went to the gas station. They had "hot dogs" outside on an advertisement but did not have any inside...The Horror. Again, we return to a long stream of meal non-satisfaction.
Be satisfied,
Alice
n.d.h.
Give love, peace, hope and luck.

untitled
Does it get your attention if I leave the blog: "untitled" ?????????????????????
Yes, I do have tricks for making you read!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Exclamation mark overload.
Small item I noticed: The other day I was in class at the exciting, yet mysteriously unnamed school that I attend. I glanced toward a group of girls sitting to the left. Believe it or not...all three girls in my class (all of them either 18 or 19 or in their early 20s)had the EXACT SAME HAIR (What style was it? That is not relevant, I do not feel). I quickly looked away, though I'm not sure why.
Instead, I should have counseled them on improving their hair routine.
Restaurant Update: Apparently I missed the memo, but Taco Bell now has Salsa Verde. (For any gringos, that is simply, GREEN SAUCE). I probably will not eat very much of it when I am there. However, I was so shocked that Taco Bell now carries this Mexican treat that I stole a sauce package anyway. Thumbs up to Taco Bell for carrying more sauce options.
Time to go re-arrange my sock drawer.
Love your saucy blogger,
Alice
(The Strokes will release a new album in March, in case you were hugely wondering about this). !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That deserves exclamation marks.
