Because I need to be wasting time � RIGHT NOW!

Thirty-three-year-old pop star Jennifer Lopez earned $29 million in 2003. Presumably she shares some of her wealth with her mom, Guadalupe. Cynical observers might therefore regard it as a sign of divine favouritism that Guadalupe recently won a jackpot of $2.4 million while playing a slot machine at an Atlantic City casino. I suspect you may be less hasty to jump to that conclusion, though, since many of you Virgos are currently being visited (or soon will be) with an equally ridiculous amount of good luck. Don't feel guilty about your blessings in the least, please, even if they seem way beyond your fair share. Lap them up.

Hm, interesting. I was having a conversation with Godboy about mass amounts of money.

We were (kinda) watching Simple Life 2 (yeah, shut up, like YOU have better things to do) and I was saying that as ridiculous those girls may be, they were at least good sports. I mean, think about it, if you spent your entire life in the lap of luxury, would you willing leave it just for some stupid TV face time? They don�t have to have their own �reality� show in order to be on TV, so why bother? But they trudge out there, knowing folks think they are twats, and chop the heads off fish, do garbage detail, and �rough it� like no one has ever roughed it before.

I won�t even visit a camping ground unless it has flush toilets and running water.

So, what was I talking about? Oh, yeah, money.

I would never want to be the idle rich. I simply couldn�t be. I would self-extinguish in a year. Dead by an over-dose, excessive partying, shot by some lover, or just plain killed myself.

I would indulge myself to death.

I can't imaging life without struggle. It�s what keeps me sane, it�s what keeps me humble (sort of), it�s my reality check.

I�m not saying I wouldn�t suffer if I were rich. I probably would, incredibly.

I�d worry that my friends were only my friends because they were sponging off me. I would worry that I was too fat, too thin, if I needed cosmetic surgery. I would worry about what people thought of me. I would worry about only the stupidest crap in life.

But then it would hit me, that the only suffering I felt would be the suffering I create. And then I would have to kill myself, on principle.

Right now, I anguish over bills, over the health of my family, over my student loan, my inability to control my spending better (don�t get me wrong, I pay all my bills on time, and I have a great credit rating, it�s just really close sometimes).

In other words, I anguish over money a lot. But if I had mad amounts of money, I�d have all my monetary needs met, and the problems that I couldn�t fix by throwing money at them, I would just spend lots of money on drugs and booze to help me forget.

That, or I would become a big ol� recluse. My attitude would become �Been there, done that, have the scars to prove it, bought all the fucking t-shirts NOW LEAVE ME THE HELL ALONE!�

This is one of the reasons why I don�t (approve of) gambling.

BUT, it would be cool if one of my friend became suddenly rich. That would rock.

Especially if they paid my student loan.

That would be boatloads of rock.


- And now for something completely different -


I love instant noodles. I have made it my life�s mission to find the tastiest of these tasty treasures. I wouldn�t go so far to say to say that I am a connoisseur in the realm of Mr. Noodle, but I know what I like.

So, in my ever-expanding quest for the perfect fix, I have stumbled across Indo Mie Mi Goreng Satay.

In a word: Divine.

If it�s gotta be instant, gotta be yummy, gotta be noodles, and gotta have more sodium than you can shake a stick at, then make it Indo Mie Mi Goreng Satay.

It comes with 5 (five!) seasoning packets, has a sweet, nutty flavour but enough chili powder to pack in a real kick (how much you use is up to you).

The only draw back is that you will need two bowls, as this is a two-stop procedure. But well worth the extra effort, as it will send you to instant noodle nirvana.

I mean it, really.

I would even go so far as using this as a side dish to my curries. That�s how much I love this stuff.

Dear gawd, how can it be legal!
