Hogan The Bogan.

 Have you seen my recent post last night: The Short End?

I decided since I mentioned Paul Hogan yesterday I would post photos of him up here today so you can see who I was referring to. Here he was in 1986 when he was close to 50 years old, when Crocodile Dundee  was released, when he was hot. Below is how he looks nowadays at age 86, which is pretty frickin' old,  and even older than my mother, who died last year at 83. I can't believe Sammy Hagar and David Coverdale are in their mid-70's now, too, and have also lost their good looks and are now old and wrinkly and saggy. 

I also have to add that he is an asshole of a human being,too.

At the time of the movie he was married for 25 YRS  in Australia and him and his wife had 5 kids....

and then he decided to leave them( I guess she was too fat and dowdy for Hollywood "standards") and he hooked-up with his younger co-star in the movie, who he later married and they had a son.....and then later he divorced her,too, and now he's an old washed-up  One-Hit-Wonder Has-Been who yells at homeless people to stay away from his house in Hollywood.

"Bogan" is also an Australian slang word for "redneck".

I also saw the dumbest thing the other day: a "thick" American went to the UK and was surprised at how many people there spoke English so well.....duuuh.... and I still can't believe my hubby regrets getting Beja.

I don't regret getting him.

I love him and I want to get him back  from the 31 YR old who always lures him away from me. I guess getting a second dog is out of the question but the truth is that I don't really want to,anyway; I just want Beja back! He's  my dog and I love him and miss him. In the morning waking up is pretty much the only time I get to spend with him and then he's off with him all day, usually up in his room, making it hard for me to get him outside to pee and then I get blamed for it.

Now I also make a point of informing my hubby EVERY SINGLE TIME I PUT him outside and he goes pee, just to let him know.

He can be such an asshole.

I think Toronto also has it's Santa Claus parade this weekend and I can still remember going when I was a kid and what I remember most is freezing my ass off standing out there in the cold and my mother telling off people who would stand in front of us and we couldn't see, esp. when we'd been standing there and waiting there forever first and they just come in and stand in front of us.

I have also always loved those "upside-down" clowns( shown here) the best(and still do) and when I was a kid I actually thought they really were walking on their hands.

Of course I also believed in Santa,too, and thought if I tried hard enough I could fly,  believed my cousin when he told me he made up the word "fart", and that I could dig down to China in the sandbox, and if I wanted and wished for something hard enough I could make it happen.

I miss the version of me that used to get excited about life. now I feel like surviving, not living.-Rumi
