Life With Mikey [7-6-09]

By Mikey

Like most of you, I spent my Saturday celebrating America's independence by eating fried chicken outside and watching fireworks. My wife and son had a lot of fun, but I was kind of bored. This year's fireworks display was not as good as the last few. It was maybe a 9/10, which sounds high, but it was just missing something.


There are so many different types of spices and I can't wrap my head around it. Whenever I cook anything it just tastes like salt.

My favorite cereal is Lucky Charms because it is full of marshmallows.

I have not flossed my teeth in at least two months.

What I see on the news about Iran reminds me of what I saw in 1989 about China. The only difference is that now we have the internet and "Twitters."

People rave about Chicago deep dish pizza or sometimes New York style pizza. I've had both and they're good, but sometimes nothing beats a Tombstone.

Why do people talk so badly about the French?

How do you boil an egg anyway? Mine are always as hard as a rock.

My son got a snorkel for the pool. I try it out and I just end up with a mouth full of water. That's not my idea of a good time.

Don't Mess with the Zohan was a really overrated movie. I barely laughed at all.

I may use soy milk on my cereal, but I'm far from a vegetarian.

I have never done the Electric Slide and I certainly do see myself doing it anytime in the near future.

I have never listened to Techno.

My health insurance premiums keep getting more expensive. I think I'd like a Canadian-style plan if it'd be cheaper and I'd get good care.

I'm not a huge fan of Taco Bell, but I'll admit to getting a chalupa craving every once in a while.

My wife was upset to hear Sarah Palin is going to quit being Governor of Alaska. I think she voted for her last year because she was a woman.
