So... all I ...@Angelika - Thank you for the High 5! So... all I have to do is rebroadcast your blog posts and I get a High 5? Cool! So you were really enrolled at UA? Really? But you switched to Auburn? Hmmmm.<br /><br />Kidding. ;)<br /><br />@Stephanie Barr - Yeah. Chickened out. Copped out. And don't try to pretend you are really still blogging. But that's ok. I don't want to fight with you anyway if you have lost your passion. How long does it take to make a short post? You were a mentor for Jeff.<br /><br />@Shakespeare - She doesn't have to blog on three blogs. One blog once a week is fine, if it is thought-provoking. She says she has run out of things to say. At least that is the gist. My world doesn't exactly revolve around her, but she used to be fun to debate. Well, maybe she'll still come around here to debate so it won't be a total loss of a sparring partner. :)Relax Maxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01051381168322495999noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6498413430541424627.post-3961972425336976382011-01-14T07:57:06.365-07:002011-01-14T07:57:06.365-07:00Wait, Shakespeare, how many times have you told me...Wait, Shakespeare, how many times have you told me that the world <em>doesn't</em> revolve around me?<br /><br />Which is how I want it.

This one is named after the owner & you can get bread & milk, college football collectibles/clothing & cigarettes or cigars from there.<br /><br />I attended UofA at Tuscaloosa - I mean, I was enrolled for a year but never went to class because I was majorly depressed (undiagnosed @ that age) & my mother wouldn't let me drop out after the first semester even though I TOLD HER that I hated it there because she was enjoying her freedom too much to give a shit about her daughter who had already tried to kill herself several times before already. Fucking bitch.<br /><br />Does that make me sound bitter? :-)<br /><br />The point of MY post is: Look for your High Five from me <a href="http://angelika1972.blogspot.com/2011/01/phriday-phree-4-all.html" rel="nofollow">HERE</a> :-)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00157990727797664266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6498413430541424627.post-69972417438829558072011-01-13T20:57:07.099-07:002011-01-13T20:57:07.099-07:00@Lidian. Wow. Talk about a ghost from the past! Wh...@Lidian. Wow. Talk about a ghost from the past! Where have you been? I shouldn't talk, I guess. Well, if you will read my comment to A. above, then you will see what all the fuss is about numbering. Personally, I would rather know how people like their eggs, but everybody else just seems to care about the numbers. Good for you on not making new years resolutions. But I think it is the law and you have to make some. Maybe I will make some for you, just to keep you out of trouble with the law. So, are you published yet?<br /><br />@Jeff King - Jeff, you have to just stop killing yourself over that book. Maybe, instead, begin to drink heavily or something. You take writing too seriously. Writing is only your life, you know. Besides, now that Stephanie has chickened out of blogging, you don't have to finish it if you don't want to. Tell you what - send me your manuscript and I will read some of it. And I will ask A. and Lidian to read the rest, and we will... something.Relax Maxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01051381168322495999noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6498413430541424627.post-23632508548102005602011-01-13T20:34:16.344-07:002011-01-13T20:34:16.344-07:00@A. - I just copied and pasted and the numbers cam...@A. - I just copied and pasted and the numbers came out wrong and the blogger editor wouldn't let me backspace over them to delete them so I just put the real numbers next to them. It is amazing what you get out of my posts. Does none of my content matter at all? :)<br /><br />@Stephanie Barr - A ham, I think.<br /><br />There was this Polish wedding reception and there was a dance contest for guys and the second prize was a night with the bride. First prize was a ham.<br /><br />So, I don't know. Hard to tell with Angelika.<br /><br />(Angelika is not Polish.)<br /><br />@Angelika - Liquor store? You said it was a convenience store where you bought those vile little brown cigarettes of yours.<br /><br />Roll Tide? Here's a true story. Feel free to post about it and pretend the hero of the story was you. I was driving up from New Orleans one time, cut across Mississippi to Alabama (up through Hattiesburg; you know Hattiesburg? I used to be stationed in the Air Force in Biloxi, so I know Hattiesburg) and I got off at Tuscaloosa (on purpose) and couldn't even find the campus. And there is only one main road in Tuscaloosa. Jesus but true. So the University of Alabama has never been seen by me. I probably just didn't go far enough down that one road. I was afraid of being attacked by grits or okra or something. This was the same trip I took those pictures in that blog post of Tulane and Loyola and LSU (that's up in Baton Rouge where Jimmy Swaggart lives and Bobby McGee got picked up in the rain by that trucker with which they sang all the songs he knew. Anyway, it rained so hard 'tween Baton Rouge and New Orleans I had to pull off I-10 and wait it out right in the middle of crazy cajun country. Rains every damn day in Louisiana like Noah's Ark rain. So, not finding the Tide in Tuscaloosa, I mosied on up to Birmingham and got there right during afternoon rush and said fuck this and kept driving on up to Nashville. Starting to feel like Paul Simon a little bit, only Graceland is in Memphis not Nashville, so that was only a figure of speech, ok? Way off to my left. right? Got there (Nashville) at dusk and just looked at the blue lights on top of the Batman building (Nashville being dead on a Tuesday night anyway, and they roll up the streets) and kept on trucking up to Louisville. Got some more gas and tried to walk around a bit but kept falling against the car because my ass was so asleep from being sitting so long, and so I just left. Flood stage, the Ohio river was. But got there at midnight so who cares, right? So I cross the bridge where Muhammad Ali threw away his olympic medal off of and continued on up to Indianapolis. Like four in the morning now and I'm feeling like Forrest Gump running back and forth across the country. Long damn way from Santa Monica, though. Another time, another story. The bastards hung me in Indianapolis so I never made it to Detroit. Kidding. I made it to Detroit. I wanted to see Tiger Stadium one more time afore they tore it down. Got some nice pictures. Or as nice as Detroit gets, if you know what I mean. Their loss. Roll, Tide. Woot. I left out the point of this story because I forgot it now. I think it was more to it than just not finding the campus.Relax Maxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01051381168322495999noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6498413430541424627.post-15874341637466941172011-01-13T17:05:40.822-07:002011-01-13T17:05:40.822-07:00I just want to be a better person, and get my book...I just want to be a better person, and get my book done... thats my goal for 2011.<br /><br />thxJeff Kinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00667419764890599092noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6498413430541424627.post-32849958872279610882011-01-13T12:42:10.822-07:002011-01-13T12:42:10.822-07:00I am also confused by your numbering system, but m...I am also confused by your numbering system, but maybe I need to check out Angelika's original post...<br /><br />I have tried to dial down the New Year's resolutions this year - that might actually BE my New Year's resolution, really.Lidianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14609618027313982020noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6498413430541424627.post-20383817487679508832011-01-13T11:32:34.066-07:002011-01-13T11:32:34.066-07:0012 - What 7-11 guy?

I just didn't want to leave "eat out" on there with no qualifier. :-)<br /><br />18 - HA! Yes, I meant sight. This is why we need more than spell check, LOL.<br /><br />20 - I had to shake the dew off my lily @ that particular time. <br /><br />24 - I like pork. It's The Boy who likes Oriental. Anyway, I was able to get to the store today & get The Boy 30 packs & a 30 pack of Hot Dogs so we should be set for food for 2 or 3 days...<br /><br />25 - LOL! Good one. :-)<br /><br />28 - My other imaginary BF (Craig Ferguson) likes the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. He's the straightest man on CBS @ 12:27 am. <br /><br />30 - That sounds exactly like Evan.

No, not completely dumbstruck because I'm going to set my English teacher rolling in her grave (I feel sure she's got there by now but perhaps like all young people I thought everyone over the age of 20 was old) by saying that is the most unique numbering system I've ever seen. You know how much I like numbered lists, and this is definitely the best I've seen. I may try it one day. <br /><br />Sorry, was that relevant to your post?
