word!

Just heard a new ditty by Eminem on the ol’ radio, something of a nursery rhyme called Mockingbird. Some song about him growing up poor and having it so rough with things before becoming the most successful white rapper in history. (eat it Vanilla Ice)

see lyrics

And at the time every house that we lived in
Either kept getting broke into and robbed
Or shot up on the block and your mom was saving money for you in a jar
Tryna start a piggy bank for you so you could go to college
Almost had a thousand dollars till someone broke in and stole it
And I know it hurt so bad it broke your momma’s heart

I am amused by this. He’s got the brains to be so successful now, but he couldn’t make sense enough to put all that money someplace safe, say a bank? Silliness.

It also fits his poor image that I read about a few years ago, that when he was down and out in Detroit. His house was getting broken into and the guys stole his new playstation or something. Poor management of priorities as well. Guy says he was starving and penniless, but yet again someone can break in and steal things worth quite a bit of cash. Hard to believe.

Maybe him and all his buddies that always seem to go from rags to riches should fess up and tell it how things really are. Everyone’s got a sob story, just ask them. Except most people I know don’t go on to make millions off of such pains. Maybe they just suck it up and put their money in banks and don’t going buying things that are convienent to steal.

I learned today that Ms. Heidi Klum is expecting baby number two sometime this year with her fiancee Seal (that one-hit wonder singer with that scar upon his face). Sad news indeed. Maybe it’s the whole fact that my favorite supermodel is starting a family. Maybe.

Oh and it seems in vogue now that Britney Spears is also with child via her hubbie as well. Hm… wonder if in 9 months everyone will be toting babies as the new chic accessory?

Seems like alot of persons my age are getting into this fad as well. I wonder what the fuss is all about. And then I get harassed about such things. Lucky for me, I say, I don’t have to worry about a baby or the type of person they generally come from. Lucky me!

Being branded as a Pepsi man since I worked for them a few summers back, I’ve taken a mild interest in the Cola wars and what’s up in that arena. One of the new commercials Coca-Cola is airing on TV grabbed my attention, but I think for the wrong reason. Or wait, is it a cleverly evil ploy to get me to remember it, either way, it worked.

They are advertising for the Coke with Lime, and they sing some stupid jingle, “Put the lime in the Coke, you nut”. While you know it’s stupid that they have to have the word’s displayed Disney-Karoake style, that’s not the worst of it. Their little jingle is even worse. It comes off sounding like you’re putting lime in “the coconut”, which has nothing to do with limes, Cokes, or anything remoting related to their product. If for some reason that had been part of a song of some sort consumers were aware of, it might make sense, but it isn’t a known ditty. It fails miserably.

And for inferring to potential new pop drinkers that they are “nuts”, seems very offputting as well. Maybe Coke ad execs are nuts, certifiably, for coming up with such squallor.

Oh and for the record, lime in cola sucks.

It’s just odd that it’s early April and it’s like 50 degrees out at 9pm at night and I’m hearing frogs. Just seems like something better suited for, say, August.

Yahoo! is slowly releasing it’s new whiz-bang technology that is going to unite blogging, social networking and some other stuff together under the Yahoo! brand. WOW. I’m almost as giddy as when MSN spaces went live. Props to this guy for the invite though. Man, I wonder how much these things could go for on eBay. (Looks like someone already is auctioning away a not so rare invite). Ha.

So yeah, here’s my awesome placeholder of a page. It’s bland, but it takes off, oh man, imagine the blank possibilities that await.

Wanna an invite? 100 waiting to be had. Don’t want one, no problem too.
