The nameless faceless consumer......

Today's Quote:

Coddleston pie, Coddleston pie
A fly can't bird,
but a bird can fly
Ask me a riddle and I'll reply
Coddleston, Coddleston, Coddleston pie

-Winnie the Pooh

America is frequently called the land of opportunity... I always interpreted this statement to mean that in America you could become anything you wanted... as time has progressed however, I am of a new mindset. America is a place where you can GET anything you want. In a nation racked with obesity, how can anyone feel differently?

Our nation is conceited and greedy... And if you have been in contact with any media venue you know that merchandisers are using that greed to their benefit. Hollywood stars are the moderators of what is hot and wha is not. Yet we consumers fail to take into consideration that their opinions are swayed by the fat check they recieve for endorsing that sports drink, hamburger, or handbag. Are we so naive to think that they are 100% in love with these items? DO I need to remind anyone of the Britney Spears foible of saying she drinks COKE while being the spokesmodel for PEPSI?

You might wonder who the hell I am... after all I do wear Uggs, and carry coach, and travel with Hartman... yet I maintain that I do and buy what I like... because I like it...

... a fly can't bird, but a bird can fly...

A friendship ends...

To my friend... you know who you are... Good-bye

Whatever is said and whatever I do,
I want you to know I really loved you.
It was made clear... my thoughts were complete,
friends who tell lies are full of deceit.
You had my respect, my love and my trust,
but I thought you knew honesty was a must.
We were such great friends right from the start,
and saying these words is breaking my heart.
I don't understand why the truth was not said,
now the lies that you told resound in my head.
If you had just told me the truth... sure I might have been mad,
but the consequences wouldn't be quite so bad.
Don't try to write... don't email... don't call,
just know that the photos are still on my wall.
Not a day will go by when about you I don't care,
but time together never again will we share.
It didn't have to be such a quick end,
but I never lied to you my dear friend.
So don't look at me with those tears in your eyes,
you know how I feel about friends who tell lies.
