My 20 year high school reunion will be in 2037. It's coming up like a bullet!

Speaking of age, I meet people and I tell them that it's amazing that they knew people who were born in the 1800's. Then I realized that people will tell me that they can't believe they knew someone who was born in the 1900's, and it goes on and on....

Oh yeah, and can you believe I just made a post? Granted, it was all over the place, but I made one!

      ^ All over the place? How's that a problem?

         I've learned that some people can't count on other people.

         Oh yeah- Never try taking any money from a Loan Shark!

That's it.  I just saw some old pictures of me from 5-6 years ago.  I'm getting into shape.  I don't know how I'm going to go about this, but I must.  I actually wasn't fat then!  Of course, I never would have believed that if you had told me.  But seeing that and comparing myself to now just makes me think it has to be done.

I deactivated my Facebook. I feel bad, but I don't. No one used it to contact me anyway. And the few who did had my email address.

I'm thinking about deactivating mine. I waste entirely too much time on there.

"The other versions will disappear. Even the 35 million tapes of Star Wars out there won’t last more than 30 or 40 years. A hundred years from now, the only version of the movie that anyone will remember will be the DVD version [of the Special Edition], and you’ll be able to project it on a 20’ by 40’ screen with perfect quality. I think it’s the director’s prerogative, not the studio’s to go back and reinvent a movie." - George Lucas

My new favourite actor: Jethro the Bus Driver.

 

(I found this by searching for "Drive" and this was 2nd to the top.  After Drive (2011), surprisingly.

"[George Lucas] rebooted the franchise in 1997 without telling anyone." -skyjedi2005

"Yeah, well, George says a lot of things..." a young 1997 xhonzi on RASSM

"They're my movies." -George Lucas. 19 people won oscars for their work on Star Wars (1977) and George Lucas wasn't one of them.

It doesn't say that Jethro is a character, it says he is an actor, appearing in such hits as Star Wars (1977) and more!

More Special Edition chicanery, probably.

EDIT: To really see it the way I did, I can't give you a link.  Just type "drive" in the search box or "Jethro the" and it will show up.

If there's one thing I'm jealous of my father for it's that he got to go to the 1964 World's Fair.  I can't explain my fascination with it other than the spirit of optimism it must have provided, and the wonder it created - not only for children, but for adults alike.  I have seen the Unisphere, but I was there before I realized its significance.  One day I'll probably walk Flushing Meadows and only try to imagine what it was like.

I just found out that walmart.com has a funeral section. ('Cause nothing screams "dignified passing" like merchandise from walmart.)

So I'm browsing through the funeral section in a state of semi-bewilderment, when lo and behold I see a casket for sale. The brand? "Dad remembered." Classy, eh? Here's a picture.
