Wedding bells are ringing

With a wedding fast approaching I'm finding time is a commodity I'm sorely lacking. So that - coupled with the fact that I'm feeling sort of lazy and uninspired - has left me with just a few random thoughts rolling around in my head.

Is Madonna still in any way relevant? She's not putting out particularly inspired or life altering music, she's about as controversial as a pre-school and at the age of 63 still insists on parading around in her underpants like someone’s confused grandmother at a nursing home. Not to mention the super creepy flirting she does in her new video/commercial, with a guy who could easily be her son.

Now, I know what you're thinking, she's actually 50 and she looks really good for her age. But when you have to justify how great she looks with a caveat, then it shouldn't count. Like this food tastes great compared to garbage or my kid is really smart compared to the sidewalk. Either way I don’t want to see it, no matter how much yoga she does.

Some mysterious illness is killing all the sting rays at the Calgary zoo. Maybe it's the ghost of Steve Irwin. This has all the making of a classic Scooby Doo episode.

A Buffalo news feed cut into my television program the other night to bring breaking news of a stand-off. I know everyone loves a good high speed car chase, and who doesn’t enjoy a spot of police brutality every now and then – but by it’s very definition a stand-off with police infers that NOTHING IS HAPPENING!

Seriously, the point is that neither side is doing anything – they’re just standing…until the other person backs off…I hate missing my television stories!

Austrian’s are a crazy bunch, aren’t they? As if their tourism board wasn’t already having a rough time – this happens.

And lastly – kudos to the homeless guy I saw blow his nose into his bare hand the other day. Way to show the big tissue companies that you don’t need them.
