Joy

Happiness is getting into your car at 8:45 on a Sunday morning, turning it on, and the radio playing Queen's "Bohemian Rhapsody."

It almost makes up for having to miss the Chargers' playoff game due to rehearsal. Almost. Yeah, it doesn't really make up for it at all, but at this point, I'm looking for little blessings.

An Open Letter to Jeep

Dear Jeep,

I understand that in today's bustling economy, the more you can get your product out there, the more likely you will be successful in selling your product. However, your commercial for your Jeep Liberty (the one with the singing animals) is played out. My roommate and I counted the other day, and we saw that commercial 14 times over the course of one football game.

This does not make me want to purchase your product. This is overexposure. In addition, every subsequent time that I see that commercial reminds me how much I hate it, and it reminds me to stay away from Jeep.

Bloody well knock it off.

With love,
AC

Car

There is a late 80's/early 90's Honda Civic in the parking lot of my complex. It is metallic blue. It is a small car. And I hate it.

You see, for the better part of the last three months, this vehicle has been parked across the line of one of the already small spots in the lot.

So, every night when I get home late, and it looks like there is a spot, but then there isn't because Mr. Civic is parked over the line, I get a little unhappy. Unhappy to the point that I sit in my seriously considering ramming the car with my own, until I realize that that would harm my car. Then I consider taking a chisel and dismantling the car little by little, so that eventually there would be no car left, and with any luck, the owner wouldn't realize that there was anything wrong until it was much too late. Then there would be two free spots, and two is better than one.

Then, I realize that it's now 12:02 am, and I've been sitting fantasizing about Civic destruction for the better part of ten minutes, and I give up and go find a place to park that is further away, resolving to myself to buy a chisel for the next day.

But I never do. I never do.

Chargers

Anybody remember when LT could run more than two or three yards at a time? Or when he was a better back than LenDale White? Anybody?

EDIT: San Diego has a pretty good football team when they decide to show up. Let's go Chargers!

Keira

The thing about Keira Knightley is that she is pretty, but she also kind of looks like she has some extra bones in her face. Lots of extra bones. That's the thing to remember.
