I don't know why this struck me as funny, but it did. Happy Leap Day!

I recently purchased an item online that was from an infomercial. Yes, it was a moment of weakness in the early morning and I gave in. Well, I learned my lesson. I got the product, it worked fine for $20 and that was that. Right? Wrong! The next month I notice on my bank statement that I was charged again by this company even thought I didn't buy anything. I called them up to find out why and they explained that when I purchased their product I was automatically enrolled in a monthly exercise DVD program. I knew nothing of this program. I even went through the website I ordered from and it didn't mention this automatic program at all! So it was a scam. The company refused to refund my money and said I could quit the program but I would have to pay for this month and the next. I still hadn't even received anything more and they wanted to charge me. So I was pretty ticked off over the whole experience. The money wasn't that much, but just the principle of so...

Have you seen the most recent ad for Chips Ahoy chocolate chip cookies? To be quite honest they are a little weird. They have an animated cookie with chunks of chocolate all over him. The point is to show how big and tasty these chunks are suppose to be. But, I think the chunks look more like oversized moles just hanging off the cookie. It doesn't make me want to eat one of their cookies at all! I can't imagine going in for a bite of anything and my teeth digging into a mole. Yuck! What do you think?

What’s the deal with wrapping paper with glitter on it? It's just plain annoying! Apparently the makers of the wrapping paper used the least amount of glue as they could so that the glitter would end up everywhere but on the paper. When I get done unwrapping a present I end up looking like I am wearing glitter lotion or that I have just recently been to a strip club (if you have been to one you understand - try explaining that to your wife.... it was just a present. I swear!) Anyways, a note to anybody who ever decides to give me a gift. Just throw it in a gift bag or cash is great too, as long as it isn't in a card with confetti in it. That's a whole other headache.

Steven Siegel and Jean-Claude Van Damme have to be the worst two actors I have ever seen in a movie. But despite this fact, they still keep making more and more movies. How is this possible? How can these no talent clowns keep getting paid to stink up the movie screen? I do have to admit that there is one Siegel movie that I do like. Executive Decision , a movie that came out in 1996 starring Halle Berry, is the one great Siegel movie. The reason..... He is only in it 5 minutes in the beginning and his character dies. It's great! The only question worth asking about these two guys is who would win in a fight? The ponytail might give Siegel an edge, but I think Van Damme would come out on top. But who cares.... Chuck Norris could kick both of their butts.

This video always makes me laugh and it reminds me what to do when I am not feeling good. Enjoy. Happy Friday!

Sometimes I like to stand at the ATM machine and pretend that it's a slot machine at the casino. When the money comes out, I WIN! It's great! If I am feeling especially giddy I will even start throwing the money in the air and screaming "Jackpot". I do get some strange looks from people walking by, but who cares. I am having fun.

We listened to all the hype the last two weeks about "Super Duper Tuesday". This would be the day that decided who got the nomination for president in each political party. What did we find out?..... Not much. Hillary Clinton "Billary" and Obama are still pretty much dead even. McCain is still out in front for the Repubs and looks like he will get the nomination. Romney's poor showing was suprising and Huck's stong support in the South was also a bit suprising to me. I was also intrigued by Huckabee's comments on McCain. He didn't say one bad thing about McCain and wouldn't give a reason people should vote for him over McCain. Is Huck trying to get the VP position for McCain? Have the two teamed up to take down Mitt? I think so. But only time will tell. One thing I do know..... The population of the U.S. is around 301,139,947 people. Out of all these people, don't we have somebody better than these 5 candidates? COME ON!!! Maybe...

I should have learned my lesson a long time ago.... But I didn't. Another song has been ruined because of my cell phone. It always sounds like a good idea to have a song you like as your ringtone on your phone.... But it isn't. After a week or so of hearing a 15 second rendition of your favorite song 10-15 times a day you start to really hate the song. It even gets annoying. It gets to the point where you hear it on the radio and it feels like you are taking crazy pills!!!! You have been warned.
