Golden Globes a bust for bob…

golden globes a bust

The Golden Globes were a big old bust for bob last night.  It didn’t help that I wasn’t even nominated for anything.  That right there could cut your chances of winning down significantly.  I still have hope for the Nobel Peace Prize but I think my entry form was lost in the mail.

I don’t need awards, right?  What do awards do?  Make you feel better about yourself?  Let others know how good you are at something?  Give you a sense of accomplishment for all the behind the scenes work you do day after day after day after day?  Let you know that somewhere, somehow someone or even many someones are paying attention to what you do and want you to know it’s all worth it.

Okay, maybe one little award would be nice.  It doesn’t have to be the golden globes… it could be something much smaller… like maybe that cheese those lab mice eat.  Or one of those milk-bones Frank gives the dogs for not killing the mailman.  I don’t ask for too much,  do I?

 

tired of trying…

tired of trying

Some days, trying might as well be a double marathon.  What’s the point?  If you allow yourself to think about it for about two seconds, you see that the cost of inactivity is far greater than any “rest” you’d get by being a lump.  We’re all tired…tired of waiting for the break, tired of working for that break, tired of working for something invisible or in existence somewhere you’ll never be or see.  We’re tired of eating and wondering why we’re eating this.  We’re sick of wondering why we treat ourselves so bad when we shouldn’t.

We’re sick of hearing that, “you look tired, you should rest.”  Rest?  Seriously?

So, I keep trying… even though it seems I wake up more tired than before I went to sleep.  Even though the aches and pains seem worse the day after and more worse two days after.  I get up and I try.  Because, that’s what I do.  That’s what Frank does.  I have to admire him for that.  Well, there’s no rule that says I HAVE to admire him for that.

Maybe I’m just tired.

 

SQUIRRELOSOPHY exhibition opens today!!

exhibition

I’m sure there will be loads of pictures taken at the exhibition opening… i’ll be hanging out with the chips and the diet coke… acting all cool and stuff.  If you’re in the area, stop by and chill with us.

fashion forward…sort of

fashion forward

I’m about as into fashion as the next squirrel…which gives you an indication of exactly how fashionable I am.  Real fur has fallen out of fashion… but there’s nothing I can do about that.  I am a fur coat for the most part.  At least it’s still with the original owner.

I love Frank, but honestly, would anyone wear a tie with a space helmet after Labor day?

it’s a wild world…

the world

The world is a wild, wild place.  Not that I’ve been everywhere in the world… but I think that’s a fair assumption.

Apparently, the meat on me taste good to some… both human and non-human.  I’d be lying if I said to you I wondered how I tasted.  That is very sick, but I pride myself on baring my honest to tail soul for you every single day… multiple times if possible.

It’s probably a nutty taste… with just a hint of nacho cheese.

Extinction of an icon…

extinction

Straight answers are hard to come by.  Like a four leaf clover in a patch of daisies.  I’ll admit, extinction is a very strong word but it is a completely appropriate term.

If you question my observation, test it out for yourself.  Go ask someone something.  Anything.  I’ll bet a majority of my tail that you’ll get an answer so crooked it’ll be pointing back and away from you at the same time.

I just call it as I see it.  All I wanted to know was what the weather would be like tomorrow.  I’ll save the answer I got for another time.

Tabloid reality tv for the world

tabloid reality tv for the world squirrel

Why do so many dig reality tv?

Because it’s REAL, right?

C’mon.  I’m more real than any of that refuse (I wanted to use a swear word in place of ‘refuse’, but I have an image to maintain) I’ll admit, even I at a certain point desired my reality be televised.  Why should I miss out on that gravy train?  I love gravy.  If i had a gravy train I’d be getting loaf upon loaf of bread to sop all that gooey goodness up.  You don’t get gravy without any meat.  I don’t know how that applies, but it sounded good.

The thing of it is, if all the reality shows in the universe were to be banned tomorrow, chaos would reign.  Not because the masses of fans would be rioting in the streets, but that there would be nothing out there to replace what was taken.  It’d be Thunderdome time.

If this comes off sounding like jealousy, good.  I admit it.  I act a fool everyday online… might as well get an energy drink deal or a music contract out of it.  Acting like a fool for ten weeks to set myself up for life?  Wherever the signing needs to be signed, let me sign.  I’ll hate myself in the morning… but I’ll get over it.

It sends the wrong impression to impressionable young ones… Why work? Work ethic? Wait, let me google that.  Nah, all I need to do is get on a reality tv show.  I don’t need to work any harder than it takes to get through the audition.

But will you?

monotony and the modern squirrel…

monotony of bob the squirrel...

Monotony is cruel… and not in a “this is for your own good” sort of way.  Sometimes you need to stir it up some.  That bit of advice is easier said than done… especially when your spoon is broken.  I keep a spare spoon just in case I need to stir it up.   But as I reach for the spare spoon I think, “Why?”  Then I realize that I lent my spoon out and didn’t get it back.  There was someone else out there who wanted to fight the monotony battle.

Hope they did better than I did.  One does not seek rewards in this type of war…you just want to make it out less bored than you were going in.

lost mind… need memories

memories

memories are a terrible thing to waste… especially the good ones.  The bad ones, well, you hide them or destroy them all together… but not all of them.

moon, stars, granola bars and the blues brothers…

blues brothers bob and stars

I had stars in my eyes once… they really burn.  Feels like you have someone’s toe tapping under your eyelid.

Frank made a reference to the movie The Blues Brothers in this cartoon.  For those of you who are woefully unfamiliar with this masterpiece of cinematic platinum, click the link to get educated.  Once you do that, seek out this movie as if you were a hobbit on a quest.  Actually, it shouldn’t be that hard to find it.  Once you watch it, send me an email to thank me for sending you on that quest.  For those of you who HAVE seen this movie (multiple times, I’ll assume) your head is nodding in agreement with every word I have written.  Nothing else needs to be said.

Except that this movie has something for everyone.  Violence, car chases, music, car chases, redemption, car chases, religion, car chases, comedy, car chases, love, car chases, drama, car chases, Aretha Franklin, car chases… everything.

Sooner or later, Frank will get tired of the helmet thing and move onto something else.  I’m assuming by the next Summer Olympics, but I’ve been known to be wrong before.  Hopefully, the plans to go to the moon will still be in the planning stages.

Go watch The Blues Brothers.

insanity and a job well done…

insanity

I feel strongly that if there’s anything to do with insanity that it should be done as well and as completely as possible.  No excuses for cutting corners.  None.
