Stop the presses! News topics of late? Hilary Clinton wore no make-up! Doesn't that just make you want to “lose your lunch”!? Of all the goings on in the world we come up with this. Ok ok cool your jets, I know it wasn't the only story but it does seem to be the norm for today's happy gossipers, of this group you do not belong I'm quite sure. You have intelligence and if you do read tabloid tidbits, it's because you have an inquiring mind...at least that's what I tell myself while perusing the drivel on NEWS sites. Women today still need heroes and I'll take Hilary over Sarah anyolddamnday! Should the article have been about her maneuverings with a blind dissident? Well, I guess that's where the matter of choice comes in. The reporters choice of content, the reader's decision for worthiness or Hilary's opting to respond . In my opinion, she did magnificently..”I'm of an age if I want to wear glasses & pull my hair back, I will” I paraphrase of course, but you get the drift, yeah? I still believe that looks should not matter, but let's not beat that horse again. Suffice it to say today's journalists are more of a minority weighing in against their “distant cousins” the reporters or talking heads.
Yesterday I dragged myself to the registry of motor vehicles, in the days when David Bowie was on the top 40 a trip to the RMV (or DMV as it was then) was ab-so- tively hellacious. Seriously, those people had to take mean classes as a prerequisite for a job there! Not so true anymore. First through the door a bit of a line formed, which did indeed move right along. My turn at the customer service desk found a young woman smiling (yes, you heard correctly) and asking if she could help me. Unheard of! Two minutes later I was on the bench awaiting my turn for Robert the rude or Ida the impatient! Instead, after a mere 20 minutes, I was pleasantly surprised with Suzie the sweet...I know, whooda thunk it? Talk about your ch-ch-ch-changes. We chatted even...I said her ring was beautiful, she said someone told her it looked like a tiara, which prompted my bringing up the Big Bang Theory's episode where Sheldon buys Amy Farrah Fowler an actual tiara. Seriously, chatting at the RMV with a person who all the while was doing her job. I was stunned. After walking out I started thinking of other people who make life's snafu's and tedium’s tolerable if not downright enjoyable. Two ladies at my branch library jump to mind. Once a week I watch these sometime saints deal with rudeness, but more so with chatty types (like me) who often tie up their work day. Yet these beauties are never short with anyone and will always go the extra mile to find that obscure book or what have you. (heroes) There are more, many more in fact when I stop my yap long enough to think! Do we want the so called celebs of today becoming role models for our youth? God I hope not. The 4 women in my rantings of today have more charm, class and sincerity than 20 each of the types that are thrown in the faces of our kids every day. Naming them gives more notoriety and since they are already daily news, I am positive it isn't even necessary......oops, this stop, tirade city,!! My point was heroes...we have them, they are all around us, just need to filter through for quality. Set them up somehow for the kiddies to take notice.
Wow, this sooo wasn't the planed agenda. Oh well, it's not a seminar on rocket science...just a few minutes for a chuckle. Did I succeed ? Anyone smilin'? Tell me ...who do you admire? There are many men out there on my list as well, today just happened to call the females to my feeble mind.
Here's a little side bar that guarantees a grin at least. Once in the house at the end of the RMV trek, the realization that my favorite jeans (old to the point of threadbare) were ripped (not weight gain). When did it happen? Was I walking around all day calling attention to my big ole butt? Should I be horrified? Later, after speaking with my son (who had picked me up from the registry) told me he had in fact noticed and I would see for myself as the picture he took went viral.....HA, funny guy...then admitted most likely it happened when I dropped my phone and stooped to retrieve it.... my hero!!!
