How I'll Become RICH...

I've figured it out!!! I know exactly how I'll become rich.
Here's the deal - you're supposed to find a niche, right? A problem or a customer base? Something far-reaching, right?

Well, everyone deals with relationships...being in love, breakups, etc.

TIME and NOW Music have made compilation cds - and made millions! Why don't I make a series of compilation cds...each about BREAKUPS!!! Yeah! That's the way to do it. Save young men and women the trouble of searching for good breakup songs...and just provide it to them...for a nominal fee of $19.95/cd.

Hmm....

An open letter to the makers of Ramen Noodles

Dear Ramen Noodles Makers,

It is with great honor that I find myself writing to you. Please allow me to introduce myself. My name is Alex Chavez, and I am a self-proclaimed Ramen Noodle Warrior. Okay, well maybe "warrior" is a tad strong, but you get the idea; I thoroughly enjoy partaking in a hearty serving of Ramen Noodles. Suffice it to say, that I typically double up on the suggested serving. (While I completely appreciate your suggestion of "1/2 block of noodles with seasoning" as 1 serving size, those noodles are simply so delicious, that it's nearly impossible to stop at just one half of a block. If it's any consolation, I only use 1/2 seasoning package per noodle block. I also am of the school of ramen thought that the noodles are best consumed once the water has been strained. So, SURELY, draining the water from the noodles must reduce the serving size per package.) But, to each its own, right?

The thing I most admire about Ramen Noodles is their versatility. Thank you, RN Makers, for bringing a little diversity to my life. When I want a quick snack, none is quicker. Convenient meal, none more convenient. And what a grand way to spend 3 minutes of quality time with my loved ones...than to watch as those coiled noodles boil happily in a small cooking pot. Oh, how I love you, Ramen.

I'd be remiss if i did not mention the affordable price of my favorite carbohydrate treat. Even in the wake of an economic recession, each indiviual Ramen packet is provided by grocers nationwide at the reasonable price of 10 to 15 cents per package. I can hardly contain my excitement. Gone are the days of spending upwards of $0.88/box of Macaroni or $0.99/packet on Rice a Roni. No, there is no need. You, the makers of Ramen, provide sweet moments of noodle happiness to the masses daily.

Thank you, Ramen Noodle Makers, for making my life better. I know that no matter what stage I am in my life; college, work slump, solitude, loss of electricity, even in the depths of desperation...Ramen prevails. In fact, I once made Ramen noodles in a coffee pot, using the boiling water to warm each individual noodle before the Chicken Seasoning was added, to taste. Oh, how delicious!

Please allow me to express my sincerest gratitude to you, Makers of Ramen Noodles, for making a difference in the lives of so many. Whether from a grocer, a gas station, with water, without, in a cup, a plate, or right out of the pot from which it was made...Ramen Noodles never fail to disappoint. Thank you for always being there for me - and know that my loyalty to Ramen Noodles is never-ending.

Rejoicing in the deliciousness that is Ramen,
Alex Chavez




I'm writing to thank you for providing me


He's Just Not That Into You......the movie

So, I just watched the movie, "He's just not that into you". In an almost "rite of passage" sort of way, I saw it solo. Good movie, but the book was way better!! As expected.

It's so funny because the movie aims to "uncover" the secrets behind dating. It's eerily reminiscent to that masked magician who unveiled the world's famous magic tricks in that early nineties primetime special. Do you remember it? Much like every guy in America is saying the author of this book/movie broke the "guy code", I don't think there were too many happy magicians after that special. Oh well.

In any case, the main points in the movie don't require rocket science to figure out.
If he's not calling, he's just not that into you.
If he's not marrying you, he's just not that into you.
If he's not sleeping with you, he's just not that into you.
And blah, blah, blah....all so true.

So, why in the hell is it so easy to overlook ththose "obvious" things?? Sheesh!

Desperation, loneliness, fear, insecurity? Dangit - doesn't it suck to sound so freakin' ridiculous?! But, oh well.

What the hell happened to fairy tale stories of love and romance? I blame it on the internet. From now on, that'll be my answer to everything: IBIOTI, (pronounced eye-bee-ought-ee).
I don't exactly know why it's the internet's fault...but I'm sure it is.

That is all. lol.
