My life in movie quotes

I’m making this category… because I can.
So, if you spend any time talking to me, you’ll know that I say a lot of movie quotes. Usually, though, nobody knows what I’m talking about. So I’m making a category so that you can gauge whether or not you can understand me, I guess. My Rosetta Stone of movie quotes, if you will. Ready?

Coinage
Check this out… the vending machine at work can take $5 bills, and it gives dollar coins as change. These gold, Andrew Johnson $1 coins. Did you know we had these?
Much like the newly designed penny, I detest these. Not the actual coins; they’re pretty sharp, objectively. What makes me wonder is why we’re spending money on these in the first place. Did we need a prettier penny? What was wrong with the old ones? Are they trying to get us to like pennies? Why?
I dunno. It probably took a million or two (or twenty) to set up these redesigns; it just seems like that kind of money could be better spent. Kinda like that scene in “Dave”, it just seems sad that we’re cutting services and education money so that people can have a prettier penny. Or dollar.

A friend told me that jumping pics will save the world...
That last post was probably TMI, I know… I’m sorry. But it was too long to tweet, and I sure as hell wasn’t gonna post it on Facebook. I guess I could have posted on Google+, but I wanted at least one person to read it…
Anyway, so I’m still trying to figure out what I want my blog to be… most bloggers nowadays blog about something… you know, like, a sports blogger. Or a game blogger. Or a mommy blogger. But I’m not any of that. I don’t want to be any of that.
I don’t want to have to write “articles”, either. I’m ok with structured writing for a while, but once the article starts getting long, I get lazy and start writing more “stream of consciousness”. Kinda like now.
But I prefer that. I don’t want this blog to be “about” anything. It will just “be”. And I’m not writing this for my “readers”; it’s for my friends, and whatever strangers happen to stumble upon this place.
OK, so speaking of stream of consciousness…
Just a (not so) random thought… one of the jokes between Joelle and me is what’s known as a “Chicago ending.” It refers to something that doesn’t know how to end, or takes forever to end. (think about every Chicago song you’ve ever heard… the ending is always clumsy, right? just like when you have a conversation with someone and neither person knows how to say “OK, see ya!”)
So now you’re in on one of our little inside jokes.
