Country Bumpkin

I was away from home for around 48 hours, I took a quick trip to the city. Nothing remarkable happened, but I did have a few discoveries and thoughts, which I thought I'd share.

I think I'd die without music...
Driving along with my ipod plugged in and 1665 songs at my disposal, I realise how much joy I get from music. It could be just another one of my compulsions, like eating food and spending money - but I think I just love discovering new music - listening to peoples voices, and the stories they tell. And it amazes me, that so many people the world over can express the same things in such different ways. Love, hate, regret, joy, pain, sex, attraction... and it makes me wonder, will people ever run out of things to sing about?

Numberplate Madness...
So, I've previously documented my severe dislike of private number plates, but I did see an amusing one while I was away. On a hot little sports car was the numberplate SnotRod. What can I say, it gave me a giggle (and at least it was spelt right)... but I could just be biased, seeing as it's got 'snot' in it.

A most awesome last name...
McCrackin! I friggen love that name. Just imagine!? Go on, say your name out loud right now, and sub in McCRACKin for your last name. You'll be uplifted. Just remember, emphasis on the CRACK!

McCRACKin - StrangeBird McCRACKin... oh the possibilities.

You've got to expect a certain level of standard at a hotel where the roof is decorated with a spit-ball texture...
I think that sentence says it all. No elaboration required.

The secret to weight loss...
All you have to do, is eat as if there is someone watching you, always. Suddenly you won't be scoffing your food down in a hurry, because you don't want to look like a 'pig' in public. Trust me, it works. You may come off as a paranoid schizophrenic, but hey... at least you'll be a thin one!
