The Monkey Traveller
Everybody has their pet peeve topics that they can't leave alone.
I grew up with a huge Yankee fan who adored Don Mattingly and detested the fact that Donnie Baseball never got to experience World Series glory.
For years this guy couldn't shut up about Don Mattingly.
Even if we talked about who the best pitcher was, he'd bring up Mattingly. (a first baseman)
Even if we talked about tennis, he'd say something like: Mattingly > McEnroe.
Hell, I remember when Kathy Ireland was the girl of the moment, he'd scoff at her pics and say: Donnie Baseball?...Yeah, right...out of her league!
Even when the Yankees dominated the baseball world in the late 90's, this guy would rip on Paul O'Neill...He's no Hitman, I'll tellya that much.
My Repeating Theme
What's that thing that gets you ranting and raving every single time?
I'll open it up with something that takes control of my brain every Saturday...
Where would I rather be today?
You see for some reason, every single Saturday my mind goes wandering off to dreamland and thinking about where I would like to be at this moment.
No matter where I am or what I am doing, it's a learned reflex by now.
Sitting in the tropics on the shores of the Pacific? Hmmm...I wonder how Antarctica's looking?
Sledding down a snow covered hill in the Yukon?
Hmmm...Bet Madagascar's awesome right about now?
Contemplating Seppuku while staring at a spread sheet? Hmmm...Sahara in a sweat suit would be better than this.
No matter where I am on a Saturday, I always want to be someplace else...
How about you guys? What are doing today and where would you rather be right now? Doing what?
Feel free to jack this thread and air out on your own Donnie Baseball theme...
We haven't had a good collective Kumbaya jam session in a while...
Let's make that our Saturday destination for this week.
What I actually did today:
Where I'd rather be:
Hahaha.....independently wealthy with a family and dogs in Paris. Man, life is pretty rough.
LOL. You offering to babysit, motherfucker? (just kidding)
LMAO. Just jk around. Seriously though, if I could be anywhere it would be NY - crazy as that is.
As much as I hate New York, I'd tear the ass out of that town tonight. Just the mood I'm in.
I owed you a banana from an earlier post, and somehow I checked into my account this morning and it had 50 credits. Where the hell did they come from?
This weekend is Rally Sweden. I wish I were there spectating at the blistering cold stages, but I skipped the event for more skiing... back flip accomplished!
I do cheer for former McLaren ace Kimi Räikkönen, though... James Hunt doesn't rally.
EDIT: Syntax
If I could be anywhere tonight, it'd be New York. Florence is real small, all the Italians hate the Americans (don't really blame them) and there's too much girl drama here. Clubs are so busted too.
But at least in Firenze you have the FOOD. God, I love Tuscany.
I think I'd just like to chill out on a nice warm beach with a few books, some music, and a few drinks. Nothing crazy.
Yeah Eddie, I gained 4 lbs already. I bought a gym membership today, it's been three weeks and I'm about to lose my mind. I literally feel 100% different than a month ago, I am such a slob. For the price of a McDonald's meal here you can get two dishes at an osteria so filling you don't want to walk home. This spring is gonna be a challenge.
Where are you in Paris? I have a few friends there this semester who were telling me about the arrondissements or something.
I live in the 16th a couple blocks from the Arc de Triomphe.
I'm in Pattaya. Just had an erotic massage. I'm about to head out and enjoy a $3 lobster which I will pick myself out of the aquarium. Then, clubbing all night, of course.
Jesus, the stories I could tell about that town.
My family lives there right now. LOL.
Stuck in the sticks of Florida with a portfolio company...I'd trade the warmth for NYC.
I'll take that trade. I'm stuck up here in the brutal cold.
Sick of the cold? Try some winter sports. New York is great for snowmobiling and cross county skiing.
Just a short sequel to my screed from yesterday:
Evidently the fucking gypsies put a curse on my van because I didn't pay them for spitting on my windshield. I went down to the garage this morning, got into my van, and it smelled like something fucking died in there. It's freezing cold and I'm driving with the windows down cause it smells like a fucking skunk turd in my van. What the fuck???
Those gypsies must be Renault fans.
