Random thoughts

First off, idiot of the week:  Woman calls up to the store the other night and asks if our pasta dishes come with noodles in them.  True story.  Stupidity like this can not be made up.

RIP to Leslie Neilson, who in my opinion, was one of the most underrated funnymen in Hollywood.  Not just in Airplane and Naked Gun Movies, but even in the other dumb comedies he did he always made me laugh. 

Work is really starting to grind on me, the last two weekends I haven't made jack shit for tips because there's been way too many drivers scheduled, mainly because the cooks suck and can't keep up with the orders so they have extra drivers to help make the food, which means less deliveries per driver through the night, which translates into less money for me. 

I'm listening to In Your Eyes by Peter Gabriel right now, not by design, just randomly came up on my Pandora.  This song always makes me think of John Cusack as Lloyd Dobler in Say Anything, standing there holding the jukebox aimed at Ione Skye....


All my instincts, they return
And the grand facade, so soon will burn
Without a noise, without my pride
I reach out from the inside

That's all for now.

Does anybody teach Driver's Ed in Illinois?

So I'm not the most traveled man in the world, but I have done my fair share of traveling through the United States.  There's one constant that I've noticed in my travels, and that's when it comes to driving and parking, people with license plates from Illinois are pretty clueless.

Why do I bring this up?  Oh, I don't know maybe it was due to the stupid moron at work who, instead of parking in front of the building, parked on the side (where the drivers park) that decided that he needed to take up all the parking spots.  Evidently he didn't realize that those white lines that are painted on the ground are to be parked between, not straddled. 

I'm also reminded of road trips I've made throughout the country, and it seems like no coincidence as I look back that if you have someone driving like an idiot, they're probably going to be from Illinois.  Maybe there's something in the water, I don't know, but I think someone needs to start teaching these idiots how to drive, or else to stay the hell home.

Random quick thought before work

I'm a game show and trivia junkie, I watch a lot of Game Show Network when I have free time, and all I have to say is, Bob Guiney wears some of the most god awful sweaters ever invented.

Please allow me to introduce myself, I'm a man of wealth and taste.

Well, not so much on the wealth, or the taste, I suppose.   My name is Frank, as you can tell by my handle, I live in Tennessee, and I've been looking for a way to just get out some thoughts in my mind from time to time, and I figured this would be a good way to do it, along with working on my writing skills.

As it says in my profile, I deliver pizzas.  I've been doing this job for about 8 years, although there was a time there for 4 years that I managed the pizza place I work at.  I decided a few months back though that I couldn't deliver pizzas forever, so I enrolled in a paralegal program at a local college.  Why pizza to paralegal, you may ask?  Law has always been an interest of mine, but I don't want to go through all the steps at this stage of my life that it would take to become a lawyer, so I'm going to do this and be able to do something that I have much interest in and keeps me interested in.  I haven't had many jobs outside the restaurant industry, and I'm kind of burned out on them.

Well, that's all I have for now.  I don't have any set parameters as to what I will post on or won't post on, just whatever strikes my fancy.  If I'm the only person who ever reads the blog, that's fine with me, if you read this, well I hope I don't completely bore you to death.
