Revive, Focus, Power

Our office refrigerator is stocked with Vitamin Water. It’s great, because it’s free and relatively good for you. Plus, it’s not that far from my office. Anyway, the great thing about Vitamin Water is that their flavors aren’t named “Grape” or “Cherry” or anything, but by whatever the Vitamin Water people belive that specific drink concoction provides you. There’s one called “Energy” and one called “Revive” and one called “Focus” and a couple of other types, too. It’s great, because now I can make a decision about what I want to drink without being bogged down by such meaningless things like “flavor” or “taste.”

There is one flavor, though, that I never drink. Its name is “Essential”, and to me, that would imply that this drink would be extremely necessary or vital to my everyday life. However, I was getting along just fine before I even knew about “Essential”, so I just made an executive decision to stay away. I don’t drink things that are so clearly mis-named. That’s just not smart fluid intake.

Crappy Guitar Mall

Hadn't written in awhile. Actually, I had forgotten my password, it's been so long. whatever...

I was in Opry Mills Mall the other day. You know, the big mall that is roughly shaped like a guitar. I don’t really know why they made the mall in that shape – I mean, obviously someone thought it would be cute and kinda folksy to make a guitar-shaped mall in Nashville, but come on. For one (1), you can’t really tell it’s shaped like a guitar when you are inside it. You can probably only tell this if you are in a helicopter or hot-air balloon or something. Two, (2) it’s not really that close to being shaped like a guitar – it’s just kind of a big circle at the one end and then, a buncha stores stick out the other end toward the movie theater And three (3), who cares. I doubt there has ever been a discussion as to which mall to go to that Person One said, “well, this mall has a Baby Gap,” and then Person Two was like, “Oh yeah, this mall is shaped like a guitar” and Person Two won the argument.
