Money, money, money. Where does it all go? I think I have spent more money in the past two months than I think I had cumulatively in my whole life so far...It's like I am now a magician and I am really good at the disappearing money trick. I spent a good hunk of cash on my car, and paying off insurance, and then I ordered parts for a new computer. But right after that, my insurance was upped from my accident. I didn't think it was going to affect this year's payment, but...I was wrong. 800 times. So now I find myself in panic cause money is going out faster than I can make it. Eh, I guess it won't matter if...I mean WHEN Random Feedback gets signed.
While on the subject of money, I just though I should talk about a trend that has become increasingly overwhelming over the past few months. A blatant exploitation of patriotism. Those damn ribbon magnets you see on cars supporting out troops in combat. I swear, on 1 out of EVERY five cars on the road, there is one on the car somewhere. Think about how much money that those magnets have brought in. Whatever happened to a support ribbon being a FREAKING RIBBON? Instead they are selling these huge ribbon shaped things to "patriotic" Americans everywhere. Way to take advantage of a situation.
"Support Our Troops"
"Pray For Our Troops"
"Support My Soldier"
"Freedom Isn't Free"
You get the picture. Well, Fred and I were discussing this the other day on the way back from Concord. We think they need to have some more interesting sayings. Something like...
"Someone Stole Our Freedom...and I think it was Iraq."
That would be patriotic by definition of Bush supporters, wouldn't it? Where do people even get these things? I have only seen them in specialty stores. Maybe I am just not looking hard enough.
Last night I spent $11 on pure bliss. Quite possibly my favorite thing to buy; a large pepperoni pizza from Papa Gino's. These guys know how to make a good pizza. I don't think I have ever had a bad pizza there. Mmmmmm...tastes better than old gum.

SpIkE @ 09/17/04 "yeah, thypically, that is right, but I overlook that cause the pizza is so damn good."
cherrybomb @ 09/19/04 "i have to say that the whole ribbon thing just makes me 10 kinds of mad and 15 kinds of annoyed all at once!"
stumper @ 09/25/04 "well to start off most anything taste better then old gum, so thats not sayin much for your pizza, but i can attest that ginos pizza is worth the bad service and wait, and the ribbons for the car, my opinion i think its a great idea cuz in case you havent noticed you cant pin the old ribbons to any normal car that i know of"
SpIkE @ 09/28/04 "aha, but you can wear one on your shirt, or tie one around the anteni...i can't spell that word. i admit it."
