Back in the saddle again...now can someone teach me how to ride this thing?

Yo yo....all you haters better step the F off cuz I'm back....uh yea...It's been quite some time since I've updated this thing and there are some reasons...mainly the music blog...it's a little nicer than before...I got caught up in messing with that and stopped writing for a bit...I know it's nothing to write home about but it's gettin' better...hopefully more changes will ensue as found more and more reasons not to go outside.

Ok so I think I've mentioned that I'm obsessed with self-help books....today at Barnes and Noble me and the cashier shared a chuckle over the woman at the next cashier over....she was trying to ask the cashier (in her amusing Russian accent) where to find that book that tells you if your man really means what he says...the cashier knew exactly what she was asking for and offered to go grab her a copy. I turned to my cashier who let out a sigh and then said "that damn Oprah book"! What Oprah book I asked? I'm almost as obsessed with Oprah as I am with self-help books...how could I have missed this one? "He's not really that into you" is the name of the book the cashier informed me. I had heard quite a lot about this book recently but those of you who know me intimately or have ever seen me for that matter can understand why a book with that title wouldn't grab me. "Is it any good" I asked the B and N gal...."It's just common sense" she said. "I don't see why anyone would need to buy it". Well tthe Gap just sells Khaki pants and white t-shirts and they ain't going out of business anytime soon. She suggested I just get it at the library and save the money. Of course most self-help books are common sense. Common sense has made Anthony Robbins and Dr.Phil big time ballers. People will pay $500 to hear Tony Robbins sneeze.
It's pretty funny when you find yourself browsing the self-help section with others. Of course I'm totally checking out what they're checking out. Trying to figure out what their problem is and being that I've read a good chunk of the books there I have felt compelled to make recommendations on the spot. But I don't. It's fun to watch someone discretely try to reach for a copy of a book with a title like "how to get anyone to do absolutely anything anywhere ever".
