classic cars, tom cruise, and coffee...

it's not often i do this but it has been an unusually busy, long, & demanding week so i need to blow off a little steam.
first of all, all of the roads in town our cluttered with classic cars. there are hundreds and hundreds of "streed rodders" in town this weekend mostly because of the minnesota streed rod association's show at the minnesota state fairgrounds this weekend. yesterday many of the cars were across the street from work at a smaller show so natuarally there were classic cars and scads of people everywhere. now, some of these cars are cool looking and all, and i know these old-timers put a lot of time & money into these things but.....what's the big deal??? it's an old car with a fresh paint job!! whoopty doo! i have to be honest - cars, especially old ones, don't really do it for me. i'm happy for you but i couldn't care less. spending $10 to go look at someone's old car? not gonna happen. going for free? no thanks...
and tom cruise is in the news. apparently he's now engaged to something called katie holmes (who was was born when tom was 17). what's this tom's 3rd marrige? good luck to you tom! i have to say cruise has always bugged me. he's been a couple of good movies and some bad one's too, but i just don't like him. he's just a goofball. maybe not on the michael jackson scale but a goofball nonetheless. now he's engaged and it's BIG NEWS! i just have to say SO WHAT! i couldn't care less about tom being engaged, married, divorced, whatever...i just don't care. give me some real news!
and while we're at it...when you buy your cup of coffee and you go to put your 3 creams and 8 sugar packets in, a piece of advice. take the creams and sugars and move somewhere else to put them in your coffee. when you stand there and dump cream after cream and sugar after sugar into your cup, people like me cannot reach over and grab what we need. why? becuase YOU are in the way. now we have to wait for 4 minutes while you are making a cake. just move somewhere else! don't think about it - just do it!
rant over
