No Rants This Week

Everyone can stop stressing and worrying. I know it's been on your mind a lot, but it's finally here. The Angry Whopper is back at Burger King. I couldn't be happier about it. I freaking love that burger. There's a Burger King by my house, and on the marquee it said The Angry Whopper is Back! I screamed it out to the world as well. Now, if McDonald's will bring back the McRib, we are in business. I think that would be my death row meal. An Angry Whopper, McRib, and a diet Coke.
So I realize I've been pretty ranty over the last few weeks. Everyone needs to let off steam, and I do it by criticizing food places. So this week I've got a few random thoughts that will help you understand a little more about the enigma wrapped up in a mystery wrapped up in a Twinkie that is me.
The vehicle that parks by me at work has a Pearl Jam license plate. I've always felt that was a little strange. Every time I see the owner of the car I want to ask her about it. I want to know the thought process behind it. Was her love for Pearl Jam so strong that it couldn't be contained by just listening to the music or maybe wearing a Pearl Jam t-shirt? Instead, this was such an extreme love that she needed to contact the State of Utah to have them create this piece of metal that she put on her car that she paid $30,000 for to make sure the whole world knows that she loves Pearl Jam. Don't get me wrong, I like Pearl Jam a lot. I actually think they're better than Nirvana, but I think Nirvana is overrated. I just think it's a strange thing to do.
I thought this until yesterday. A truck cut me off cause it's Utah and that's what trucks do in Utah, and he had a Pearl Jam license plate. I'm probably the only person ever that has seen two different cars with Pearl Jam license plates. Then that got me thinking that maybe I'm the crazy one. Maybe these two are the sane ones because they want everyone to know of their love for this mid 90's band. So, maybe it's time for me to put my favorite band on a license plate. I'm not sure if the Doodle Town Pipers will fit on the plate, but I'll contact the State of Utah to find out.
Mirinda was surprisingly not scared of the Easter Bunny. On Christmas Eve I couldn't get her to fall asleep until about 2 AM cause she was so scared Santa was going to come in the room. Both of them loved getting in their Easter dresses. They got some new Sofia the First pajamas, and a microphone on a stand that amplifies their voice. They probably spent 3 or 4 hours playing with it until Mirinda broke it, but it's been returned and a new one procured.
I saw the new trailer for Star Wars, and it made me want to believe again, but I've been hurt before. Episode 8 was such an epic piece of garbage that part of me doesn't want to believe Episode 9 will be good, but part of me does. Honestly if they had brought Jar Jar back in Episode 8 it probably would have made the movie better. I like JJ Abrams, but I don't love everything he does, and as long as they don't go to Marvel I think it will be good. Here's hoping.
The Joker trailer however looks super dark and amazing. It's probably going to get an R rating, but I hope not.
I bought a smoker. I'm pretty stoked about it. If you want to come over for dinner and supply the meat, let me know.
Priya's hip replacement surgery is in a few weeks. I don't think I've ever had such a strong feeling of wanting to take this away from her. If there is any way we could get out of it I would. I know the pain she's going to go through in an already pain filled life, and it absolutely kills me. It will come and go though, and she'll be better off for it. I'm glad she doesn't really understand what's going to happen to her, because the fear would make it worse. She'll get through it, and all will be well. I just wish we were on the other end of it.
Just remember that things aren't as bad as they seem. We have a tremendous amount to be thankful for. That's not intended for a guilt trip. It is intended to get us to look on the bright side. There is so much good in the world, the bad just tends to be louder. Cheer up! Get out and do the things you know you need to do so you can enjoy the things you want to do more. There's not secret to it. It's just to be up and doing. Yes it's hard sometimes. That's OK. You'll have a day where you struggle. Go ahead and struggle. Just don't keep struggling. Make the changes you need to overcome, and it will get better.
