Caw! Caw! Caw!
"Peter, why are you running against Lois? You know how competitive you are."
"I'm not competitive. As a matter of fact I'm the most uncompetitive person there is." So I win."
Speaking of my guilty pleasure has been watching the X Games the last couple nights it's my way to live vicariously thru the amazing, incredible and some might say insane tricks these athletes pull not to mention the broken bones they endure in the process.
One thing that sticks out; they are both fierce competitors and close friends. I like the comraderie extreme sports brings.
Number three may not have been the charm for me in laying down the newspaper but in spite of it eating away at a pretty good chunk of my weekend the operation has gone well--no bruises from hitting my head on the desk in frustration.
For those of you with credit cards FYI:Did you know that you can ask to have your interest rate lowered and in some instances they actually listen?
I did that recently because they jacked it up five per cent out of the blue. Check your statements cuz the credit card companies are sneaky, although they would never say that.
The keep raising your limit because they know they can suck you in and then when you have a fat balance they jack up the interest rate which makes it damn near impossible to pay down if you just make the minimum payments.
I am on a quest to pay down mine so these bastards don't make any more money off of me.
How is it that some people excel at many things - giving them the prestige of having a bunch of 'slash' marks following their name? Example, author/journalist/actor/playwright/part-time astronaut/entrepreneur/heir/athlete/...
...you get my point.
How do they do it? I have difficulty establishing myself in one career. My goal is to eventually have several slashes beside my name too.
FYI - I didn't know that Anderson Cooper, who works for CNN and was the host of 'The Mole' is the son of Gloria Vanderbilt, the socialite/writer/designer (see what I mean?)
Apparently Gloria had quite a few trists with very famous actors and business moguls. She has just released a revealing book of her sexual encounters and apparently she doesn't hold back in her descriptions.
One more thing. Shout out to the group Heart. I caught them on TV last night. They are truly amazing. Ann and Nancy (a.k.a. Cameron Crowe's wife) still rock and to me are one of THE BEST if not the best female duo of all time.

I can't take Anderson Cooper seriously knowing he hosted The Mole. I didn't mind the show though.

When describing me (author/journalist/ actor/playwright/astronaut/ entrepreneur/heir/athlete) you forgot war hero/filmmaker/gopher stuffer).
Speaking of extreme sports have you seen "free running?" Insane new activity which basically mix cross-country running with gymnastics and buildering (free climbing buildings). It’s basicaly the most dangerous thing people could ever do such as jumping from building to building 10 stories in the air with no preparation or safety devices of any sort. Fun.
