Gee your hair smells terrific!

It's another wild-ass Friday night at Casa de Bink! I'm sporting my jammies, swilling coffee, listening to iTunes, and working a bit. Contain the jealousy!

Prior to hunkering down for the night, I ran to Walgreens for my monthly refills of dope. Better living through pharmacology, ya know! Standing in line for the pharmacy turned into a damned episode of the Twilight Zone! What motivates people to stand right fucking next to you, when there is another approximate 46.7 sq. ft. of available space in which they can stand? Seriously?! This bitch behind me was SO up my ass, I thought she was about to perform a pap smear (sans stirrups). Then, there's the fact that EVERYONE was hacking, horking, snotting, and wheezing like they had tubercu-fucking-losis! I shit you not! Maybe it was SARS! Swine flu? Hell, I dunno!

*JEEBUS...just gimme my crack and get me the hell outta here!*

(My eye was twitchin' and e'rthang!) I text the hubby to express my anxiety over my imminent infectious disease. Once he finished chastising inquiring about why I didn't use the drive through...he says, "Tuberculosis is actually rather hard to contract. But cover your face and just get in and get out!" OHHHHHH, well thanks, Dr. House! But I digress...

As I stand uncomfortably close in the line, trying to avoid becoming part of the Human Centipede, I look over to one of the shelves and notice some obscure beauty products. And what do I see?????



Yes, that says "PLACENTA" Hair Conditioner! I mean, really. "Gee baby, your hair smells terrific. Is that eau de cervix you're wearing?" For fuck's sake!

I snapped the pic, while all of the infected folks looked at me like I was the one with some strange affliction. I then paid for my stuff and got the hell out of there!

37. Tell us a valuable life lesson you learned in 2010.

Some people REALLY are disposible! Sad, but true! They are just so fucking toxic they contaminate everyone and everything around them.

38. Quote a song lyric that sums up your year.

All of these lines across my face
Tell you the story of who I am
So many stories of where I've been
And how I got to where I am
But these stories don't mean anything
When you've got no one to tell them to...

You see the smile that's on my mouth
It's hiding the words that don't come out
And all of my friends who think that I'm blessed
They don't know my head is a mess
No, they don't know who I really am...

Breakin' the seal

I decided to start a whole new blog. New year...new blog! WTF, right? My other blog is just a bit too personal and far too gloom and doom. Besides, who wants to read about me trying to avoid going batshit crazy most of the time anyways?

So, instead of a bunch of half-hearted resolutions (which I know I would have already broken by now)...I wanted to just revamp my way of thinking; my way of writing.

I want to focus on more of the positive. I want to take and share more pictures. I want to poke fun at more of the really insane shit that surrounds me-(I mean that in a good way, mostly).

Ye merry old, ranty previous blog!
