I know, a ridiculous amount of time has elapsed since I’ve last blogged. Oh well. I assume everyone has lived through this dry spell. So I’ve decided to just update you on some of my most recent rants:
Don’t clip your fingernails in public!!! Who does this? On more than one occasion I have come across people who do this. For example, last week at church we were all sitting there minding our own spiritual business…a solemn uplifting experience going on…when all of a sudden there is a loud CLICK…the unmistakable click of nail clippers. For some people the scratching of a chalkboard is unnerving…for me it is a mild irritant in comparison to the sound fingernails being clipped. I automatically have visions of quarter moon clippings flying haphazardly and impaling people in the eyeballs! This is disgusting and annoying! I understand when there is a chipped nail emergency (in which case, quickly take care of the emergency….preferably with a file…and go about your business) but this particular lady was just clipping away and then proceeded to clip her granddaughter’s fingernails! Come on! This isn’t the only the incident that I’ve had a run in with public clippers. If you are one of these people…I was going to say cut it out, but that is kind of the problem….so just stop it!!!
On the raving front (you know, for equal coverage) kudos to Justin Timberlake. I am finding that I am becoming more and more of a fan of JT. So, as most of you know the Grammys were last Sunday. I will be honest, I only watched a couple of the performances (mostly because I can’t stand award shows anyway….no one gives me a flippin’ award just for doing my job!….and isn’t it enough that they get paid millions of dollars?!...sorry, that went more into rant territory for a minute…I’ll try to stay on task). Well Rihanna had to unfortunately withdraw at the last minute and guess who volunteered to step up…yep, good ol’ JT. I doubt that the majority of the “talent” in the room had enough “talent” to actually step in and work something together at the last minute. Although I missed the performance that filled this time (the one with Al Green) I did catch his performance with TI and was very impressed with not only his vocal ability but also his mad piano skills. On a little bit of a mini-rant…TI is looking at jail time for a gun possession charge but has been using his career and calling it “redemption.” I’m sorry dude, but that is totally not how the justice system works. You do the crime, you do the time. Just because I’m going to visit the little old lady down the street doesn’t mean that I can call it “redemption” and get out of a speeding ticket. Anyway…moral of the story - well done Justin T.
So is there anything that you’ve been wanting to rant or rave about?

Oh I hate nail clipping too. The people who sit next to me at work do that. And it makes me crazy!!
Also I LOVE JT. I'm so surprised that he doesn't get more credit for his talent. I think he's destined to be a legend. I just love him, he's a true artist.
Oh and did you see Mr. Hottie Dwayne (THe Rock.) LOL
How crazy! As soon as you mentioned nail clippings I immediately thought of church. What's going on?! It seems that everytime I have the assignment to clean the chapel, I ALWAYS find nail clippings. Sometimes a whole pile swept secretly under the bench. Hello? Of all places! That is just something you do at HOME, in the bathroom!
I did not watch the awards, so sorry I can't rave about anything.
I SOOOOOOO hate the nail clipping too!!! My boss does sitting here at work. It is just disturbing!!!
it is amazing what people think that they can get away with in public. My big thing is when I watch a person pick their nose...I seriously start to dry heave a bit, it makes me want to throw up. Have you ever been driving down the street and look over to find someone digging for gold. Get a tissue for heaven's sake.
