A Book's Final Line / "Into the Wild" / More Valanko Gossip

[snowrabbit]

If there were ever a movie adaptation of any book I'd ever write, Supertramp would have to be used at least once. Possibly twice. Especially "Goodbye Stranger" and "Breakfast in America." For some reason, as I'm researching this band, their music seems to remind me of the beat of my 2005 road trip if such a thing can be said. I understand that they

Isn't it a bunch of petty mothers who wait for Wiis outside Freddy's Tuesday mornings? Or have those days past and now it's the slacker teens? Hehehehe

And I'm pretty sure Val knows full well that these gamer kids aren't real (And are probably lousy people altogether), but apparently it doesn't matter from what I've seen. For a year or so now, she's been rather enamored with online social networking (Like MySpace). I don't see what anyone sees in MySpace, but some people these days would rather die than be without it longer than an hour or two. I guess it may have only been a matter of time before some Casanova came along and convinced Val to leave Franko and be adventurous with a mysterious knight from across the Internet. In fact, that's kind of how it went down... For the first time in at least 15 years, men are chasing after my sister and telling her everything she wants to hear and hasn't from Franko. If I had several women simultaneously chasing after me (Which has NEVER happened), even I would consider changing my whole life to play that love-object game.

I guess my whole point is: When you're the kind of person the opposite sex doesn't really ever notice, it means something incredible when you finally are in spite of everything you thought was wrong with yourself. Maybe my sister is addicted to that emotion.

Man. I still can't believe, for the life of me, that Wiis are still in shortage like this and that apparently there's no shortage of petty miserable people. I love to hear your stories of spoiled rotten kids/adults who just get all bent about a friggin video game. But you know, anyone who wants something badly enough to act like a child in front of you probably doesn't deserve it. Keep the stories coming! Mad respect for freddy's clerks!

To some people now, how well put-together their MySpace page is is almost a symbol of status like fashion or vehicles. For them, MySpace is the continuation of shallow popularity contests from high school ("Got people beggin' for my Top 8 spaces" -Weird Al). My sister loves telling her new online friends from Xbox Live to check out her MySpace page, and it's totally exploded with subscribers. I bet she's loving being the center of attention, with people waiting for her updates. What a world we're living in. If they weren't so pivotal to daily life in the 21st century, I'd suggest keeping Mia away from computers. ;)

My sister has a bit of an attitude so kicking men to the curb probably doesn't phase her (Look at how she's treating Franko). She's gonna flirt with these men until one of them tells her what she wants to hear and in some strange way that could be her vindication for leaving Franko- "Well, look who I found! I had no idea I was missing out on this guy. Thank god I'm single again!" Personally, I wouldn't be surprised if this whole fiasco boiled down to the fact that she's been off her depression meds since January and we can't force her to take them...
