1.  I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but seriously, love should not hurt.

2.  OMG I LOVE SOCIAL MEDIA.
So I went through my Twitter feed and found one about music at Bombay’s so I retweeted.  Then later, I saw someone had retweeted by retweet.  I thought that kind of funny so I posted on Facebook, “My retweet just got retweeted! Go Bombay’s!”.  Then, someone shared my post about my retweet getting retweeted!  Now if you followed that.  You my friend know social media and get a star for the day!

3.  I recently started working on a project where identical twins are partners in this business.  I had been working with just one of them up to this point when I attended a party where they both were in attendance.  I had to confess to my new friend that the only way I could tell them apart was the moment when one of them recognized me.  He just laughed!   I’m sure I’ll catch on to the sublime nuances each of them have.

4a.  Sad to say I recently realized Fruit Loops is actually Froot Loops when I read a story about how we’ve all been deceived.  All six Froot Loop colors are actually the same flavor.  Apparently the recipe has not changed since 1962.  Bastards!

4b.  While doing some research on the aforementioned bastards, it turns out someone had actually tried to sue Kellogg’s for causing him to believe the product contained real, nutritious fruit.   At least two federal judges have previously held that the use of the word “Froot” cannot reasonably be interpreted as suggesting the presence of real “fruit,” and that  “froot” is not real, and real fruit does not come in “loops.”

5.  I read an article called “Seven tips on how to improve flirting.”  The first one once again reinforced the idea that I suck at flirting, “Act Natural.”  I just can’t!  I start cracking up and get all weird.   The next tip, “Do not be weird.”    Yeah, I’m screwed.

6.  I have to admit it made me a tad sad to learn that The Captain and Tennille were calling it quits after 39 years of marriage.  It angered me all the quips about how “Love Won’t Keep Us Together” or something along those lines.  For starters, they probably stopped loving each other, and so love wouldn’t keep them together.  And I can’t help but wonder how many years did they stay together just because they didn’t want to let others down?

7.  I know you can’t please all the people all the time, and I’ve learned over the years that no matter what you do, someone will be upset.  So you just have to get good at looking at the greater good.

8.  Yesterday was National Pie day.  When I brought it to my co-workers’ attention and asked if we should go out and get some pies, they all looked at me like I was a dumb ass.
(edited for clarification purposes:  The answer is ALWAYS yes.  They looked at me odd because I felt the need to ask!  The pies above arrived within the hour.)

9.  I’ve been going through a hot dog phase.  Okay, the phase has been over two years, but relatively speaking, it’s a phase of my life.  In any case,  I’ve always loved the dogs at Costco and Der Weinerschnietzel, but since Bombay’s came out with their new menu, their hot dog wrapped in bacon on a sweet roll with hot mustard, OMG!  But now I’m catching wind from Maggie McKinney that there is a food truck with dogs to die for.  So the phase continues and the hunt begins.

10.  I took my camera to the movie set of a film being shot here in Ventura by members of the band Army of Freshmen.  Several local musicians were on hand as extras and they kept pointing out the wrestlers that were actors on the set.  I hadn’t heard of any of them, but they thought it was the coolest thing!  Above is Tommy Dreamer, “The Innovator of Violence.”  Grrr!

11.  I just realized how often I write about food.
