Wednesday's Digressions

• Is there any chance Scare Tactics is a real- non scripted show? If you are not familiar, this show sets up scenarios with the help of the victims friend to scare them, film the results and boost ratings ostensibly on the shock value of terrifying another human being half to death who has shown up at the site believing they are getting work at a part time job. Part of me wants to believe but, I'm skeptical thinking they would not only be standing a good chance of getting sued occasionally as any business venture might but, they would be getting sued essentially every time they set someone up- or even be getting scammed themselves by people working together in the setup and then suing after the episode is filmed. Anyway, this one is greatness real or not and if it's not real- the guy deserves an Oscar for his face off with the Rat Monster!


• A patient I had once entered hospice services 3 months after he was married.



• Ever noticed how Alanis Morisettes song, Isn't It Ironic? contains no ironies- it's essentially just one bummer after another, some epic bummers even but, nothing ironic.




• Interestingly, although I'm sure not an original thought- it is ironic, there's nothing ironic in that song.


• The baby talks in his sleep and has since he could vocalize anything.
  
• I'm learning: demand a lot of those you are responsible for and don't expect too much from others and you will get disappointed a whole lot less. Also, no one else is responsible for my happiness and I can't make anyone else happy.


• I'm wanting to go back to Galveston- badly.
