play, again
Drink Coke
Play again
This is what the cap said…hmmm play again……there is no accidental implication here is there? Soft drinks sell youth, they sell dreams, or an ideal. And this cap is meant to stay on message. It could say ‘sorry this is not a winner’ or ‘sorry YOU are not a winner’ but that would deviate from the message. Nope, the Don’t worry be happy rhythm of this cap is intentional all the way. Yearn for your lost childhood, when you would play for hours without a care in the world? Drink Coke…play again…live again
We live in an age when nothing is left to chance, the mustard gun at McDonalds fires a set amount, the salad bowl at Olive garden has a certain number of olives depending on the number in your party and on down the line.
So the sorry you lose message has now become the promise of a dream.
On Monday I saw a dog get struck by a car. This was traumatic, and I will not detail it here. But it got me thinking, we owe the domesticated animal as much love and respect as we can muster. The domesticated animal can rightly say to us…’you got me into this!
These critters have no natural habitat, and therefore must rely on us to try and do right by them. It’s not their fault that they are doomed to a life of sexless carpeted suburbia…oh wait I’ve met that same sorry fate, but mine was not forced upon me, and I may still escape.
Once as a child I saw a dog struck, and in a way I was at fault. The dog had run towards me, and when I bent down to try and pet it, it spooked and ran into the street under a car. My mom witnessed this, and a few days later told me that she had ‘talked to the owner and the dog was ok’ even in the second grade I knew this was a lie. I figured my mom went to extremes to assure me it wasn’t my fault, so maybe it wasn’t and I let it go.
I hate it when cashiers comment on what I’m buying. New Year’s eve I’m in Target buying standard issue guys stuff, razor blades etc. Aveeno (okay not all guy stuff but still) And the cashier says ‘you’re really gonna party tonight huh?) Okay it was early (8ish) and it’s not like I was buying a dungeons and dragons game module here. Could after shave not lead to romantic closeness like on the commercial? Why am I a loser for buying needed toiletries? I should’ve replied with something mean like ‘not as much fun as you’re gonna have…working at Target on effing new year’s mother fucking eve!!!!!
My point is this, don’t assume I’m a loser….let me show you in time.
Be nice to animals

I had a nightmare last night that I was in charge of Albert plus Kevin's two dogs and they all ran away and we couldn't find them. Woke up all crazy and couldn't go back to sleep.
Go to Barley House with us Saturday night for the Damnations. Council is going. Will be fun.
Bryce and I were the cause of a neighbors cat getting run over. It was awful. I know he still remembers it too.
