It's hard to not be in the spotlight, isn't it Tom?

 I made this point before about people who just can not live outside the public sphere. A few of them come to mind this morning...  

...  

These two knuckleheads are most definitely on the list.

Now you can add this guy...

I can vividly remember myself thinking that my 

Father must be a 20-foot tall giant. I was a 

genuine pipsqueak when I was a kid.

As it stands right now, it is illegal for anyone to pump their own gas 

at a gas station in New Jersey. I've never understood why that law existed, but I mean, it's friggin' Jersey, so it isn't always gonna make sense no matter what. Anyway, there's a bill on it's way to the State Senate that will allow station owners to allow people to pump their own if they want to.  

Of course, if the law passes, 20,000 Indians and Paki's will be put out of work, but there is genuine outrage from the women in the state. The slogan 'Real Jersey Girls Don't Pump Gas' has been around for as long as I remember and the bumper sticker of that quote can be seen on many transplanted Jersey cars all over the country. It's fairly impressive that so many people just don't wanna get out of their cars at gas stations. Jeez...
...  

Speaking of gas stations, this popped up on my Fakebook wall 

today - a post from two years ago. The point I was making then 

was that I hadn't seen the price of gas so high in such a long time - 

it was damn near two bucks a gallon under Trump. Imagine that...

There's a reason I don't watch the news nor do I give a 

flying rat's ass fuck about actual politics or even current events.  I just don't care anymore. There's so much hatred, so much bullshitting, so much anger - where did it come from? 

It feels as if no one has morals or ethical standards anymore, nor does it appear that people even understand what's right and what's wrong. What happened?

I live my life - our life. That's enough for me.

The picture above is from 'Burning Man' back in 2018 or so. I really would enjoy going there if it wasn't in the middle of a fuckin' desert in the middle of August - ya get my drift on that?

Need a great gift idea? The jewelry my wife makes may 

be perfect for you. Click on this picture to see this item:

I googled this and nothing else came up but the picture, 

so I guess it's bogus, but it is pretty fuckin' funny, and 

yes - it really does have a Dorsey-esque kinda 

'Florida Man' kinda vibe to it.

I had her on another post a coupla nights ago but - happily - 

I didn't dump the picture after I posted it. Any gal with talents 

like that is certainly worthy of a second or third shot. And maybe 

an engagement ring. Juss' sayin'...

... 

This will be the case for every team - a very 

abbreviated spring training game schedule, but fuck it - get the season going. I'm psyched - especially after they got rid of Gary Sanchez...

Hours after Aaron Boone noted the Yankees could look quite different by the time Opening Day rolled around, they swung a huge trade with Minnesota on Sunday night that remade their roster and ended Gary Sanchez’s time in The Bronx.

It also brought third baseman Josh Donaldson to the Yankees, where he’ll be teammates with Gerrit Cole after Donaldson called out Cole for his use of sticky substances last June.

The bombshell trade sent Sanchez and Gio Urshela to the Twins in exchange for Donaldson, shortstop Isiah Kiner-Falefa and catcher Ben Rortvedt.

The move leaves the Yankees with a drastically altered infield and a new backstop.

I worked for a good number of years in the advertising business in New York and in Jersey for a variety of clients, both local and national/international. 

I loved what I did there and got a boatload of pride out of almost everything I did while I was doing it. 

Here's my thing: The quality of advertising today is just fucking abysmal. I honest to god have no idea who they think they're talking too. They demasculate every man in every ad, they assume everyone is gay or black, bi-racial or hispanic (2022 being the year the white people disappear from product advertising) and then there's this fuckin' stupidity:

 

Let's talk about this for a minute. What exactly the fuck does this moronic activity have ANYTHING to do with the product they're trying to sell? Who could possibly be their target market? Do you  have any idea how many people would have to approve this nonsense before it ever got distributed for publication/airing? And the most important question is not a question at all - I wouldn't buy anything from them BECAUSE of this fuckin' stupidity. I wouldn't want any relationship with any company or product that thought this ridiculous shit would help sell their product. Have I made my point here?

... 

I think back in the 50's and early 60's 

they were a little Dick-obsessed.
