Thats right........it is mine.

Why start my own thread you may ask?

Is he starving for attention?

Is he jealous that MACs started one for 8track (and vice versa)?

Does he need plattform to spew forth his stupid beliefs, therories, and premises?

The answer is YES....to all of those thing.

But more importantly, I want the power to ban people from MY thread when things get out of hand.

So please.............step in and enjoy.

I will start the thread with an observation I made this weekend while sitting in a parking lot drinking Rum mixed with a sour apple ice-drink from TGI Fridays.

We had just finished eating an early dinner at TGI Fridays......it was OK. My little girl was drinking this sour green apple drink for kids and didn't want to finish it so she gave it to me. My wife wanted to go to Target because a gift she had received was the wrong size, but I wasn't in the mood to haul all the kids in and out of there just so she could swap something.

I stayed in the car with the kids.

It was then that I noticed that the bottle of Mt. Gay Rum I had purchased earlier was within reach.......so I added some to the sickly sweet/sour drink; which actually made for a fine drink.

Happy with my situation, I sat back and started looking for chicks in the parking lot.

Slim pickins...........but quite a few people walked by our car on the way to the store, or to their cars.

It was from watching these people that I made the following observation:

MOST PEOPLE ARE UNHAPPY

I spent the rest of the day looking closely at people as they shopped, drove, etc. Very few looked to be the least bit content; which seemed to confirm my premise and also lends support to an observation I made several weeks ago.....

MOST PEOPLE ARE ****.

you said gay.

actually.....I said "Mt. Gay"..which is a really funny name!

especially if you're a bottom guy.

like you?

I, or 8track for that matter, would have gotten to the Andytv thread you know...

We LOVE you, man. As much as one man can love another man in a purely platonic, brotherly way of course.

But I digress... back to the topic at hand... YOU.

So you was sippin' on a drink in a Target parking lot, eh?

No hoochies with bodacious ta-ta's to look at? There must be something in the water in Temecula... there are a lot of hot broads to look at. Target, Wal-Mart, the Mall... the Gym, the Gas station... hell even the 2 girls that cut my hair at the local barbershop are hot.

Andy,

Did you have your "chillin" CD mix in?

Let me guess......"two turntables" by Beck? Maybe "smokin" by Boston?

"No hoochies with bodacious ta-ta's to look at? There must be something in the water in Temecula... there are a lot of hot broads to look at. Target, Wal-Mart, the Mall... the Gym, the Gas station... hell even the 2 girls that cut my hair at the local barbershop are hot."

WhooA see why I said the sheep herders were nervious when they seen Macs get off the plane??

He ain't been in country two weeks and already day dreamin about Andy's Walmart parking lot adventures LOL

By May 31st them sheep are gunna be lookin all pretty and chit!

Hog

no girls in THAT parking lot at that particular time of day.

I MUST say though, out of all the places I have lived and visited; SW Pennsylvania has the most greatlooking women....HANDS DOWN.

To put this in perspective, I went to HS in Satellite Beach,FL.

Cocoa Beach was right up the road. Patrick AFB alss was nearby, so we had a great selection of girls from all over the country/world; most were from affluent families who were drawn to the area to work on Aerospace/Military type jobs.

Sounds good right?

OK........now add SUN. We had the beach....so tans were good, and beachwear/surfwear was the fashion.

DESPITE growing up in this veritable cutie paradise, the area I live it now, kicks the poop out of it.

I LOVE going to the mall, shopping, etc.

I LOVE to look at women.

Adroomi, no CD....Sirius Radio.

If I recall, they were playing Scarlet Begonias/Fire on the Mountain - Live from 72.

AWESOME VERSION.....the best "Scarlet Fire" I ever heard.

ROFL, Andy I love your observation & conclusion.

Very well done.

At least you are willing to admit it, Andy. And that is the first step, you know.

ram,

Thanks, but in my mind, these are just observations. I have yet to make a conclusion because I do not have sufficent evidence.

However, since you are interested, I will tip my hand. If I had to conclude my life's research at this point, I would end with the following argument:

IF most people and unhappy, and most people are ****, then it stands true that most people are unhappy ****, so there is no sense getting upset about anything they do or say.

all the kids huh - thought you only had 2.

just be glad they did not have to use the potty.

Most people are neither happy nor unhappy, they are unconscious, oppressed by the moment and caught in the tragic wheel of time. Step back, disengage from the wheel, and you will see. But be quick because it doesn't last long.

admit what Heather?

Furthermore, the chicks in Satellite Beach are waaaay hotter and they wear bikinis most of the time.

WOW!

That really does work.

Is there a way to STAY disengaged.

is there something I can smoke?

The chicks here are hotter dude. Believe me, I have no local pride (other than the Stillers)......it is just a fact that hey grow better in the country.

Pardon me while I wax philosophic for just a moment.

Happy, happiness and happen come from the root word "hap", which means "fortune, chance" or "an occurrence." To that end, it would seem that in order for one to be happy there would have to be some luck involved. I don't look for happiness. I look for contentment.

WARNING - I am about to quote the New Testament of the Bible. Just wanted to put that out there, in case anyone who is easily offended by the idea is reading this - avert thine eyes.

" . . . for I have learned, in whatsoever state I am, therewith to be content." Philippians 4:11 (KJV) No matter who you are or what you believe or disbelieve in, that is a pretty sound piece of advice. Disguard the context in which it was written, because I'm not trying to convert anyone to any particular faith. I just think it is a good piece of advice. No matter how crappy things might be around me, I always try to find something to hold on to. I am responsible for my own emotional well being. I don't rely on fortune or chance to bring me joy.

Ugh, sorry. Please feel free to disregard that if you so choose. I have to write a Summons and Complaint today and I guess I am practicing being wordy.

Oh, the whole starving for attention thing. You really should take a mental health day and get yourself a nice cigar and one of those clamato and beer things you like to drink.
