Eating Vday Hearts and Hummer Hate

I have never really done much for Valentine's, even in my not so distant, not so single years. This year however is the big 06 and that means I went all out. Check it:

After a long day its time to kick back with a good plate of waffles. It is Valentines day so I think the heart shapes are appropriate. Being single I get to spend the evening doing great things like watching ski racing and riding the rollers, and then eating about 15 hearts...Warm, soft, melt in your mouth good hearts...With jam and brunost!

The mound with some saskatoon jam.


With brunost and the flag of the mother land...Celebrating Norway's winning ways at the Olympics!

Now was your Valentines day this cool!?

On a side note I went to the Market Mall today to score some end of winter season fashion deals and when I walked across the half full parking lot on the south end of the mall I counted 3 Hummers! 3 in one relatively small parking lot, on a Tuesday afernoon. I am sure that those who drove to the mall (I walked...suckers) needed that extra all terrain stability and traction to tackle that 0.02 mm of snow we got today. I really, really don't appreciate Hummers, or SUV's for that matter. I read this really funny tidbit from a car magazine while waiting for the doctor last week: Buying a Hummer because you one day may need to tow your Bayliner along a dirt track to the top of "Monkey Mountain" and back down...backwards, is like buying the PlayBoy mansion because you one day think you might have 17 dumb blonde girlfriends who all want to live with you at the same time. If anyone reading this blog owns a Hummer I encourage you to sell it, purchase a bicycle and a bus pass and start paying back the entire planet for all of the resources you burned away on whatever you want to call the status you think you gain from driving that middle digit magnet around town.

My valentine's day was pretty cool, not heart shaped waffle cool though.

What do we say about the new H3s? FU H2 was easy, we'll have to be extra clever to bash the H3.

H3...no problem!
"Your driving a Sierra in a Halloween costume". I have heard the H3 is useless offroad, even more so than the H2, so then you are buying an overpriced truck with no practical reason for being as big as it is and still low gas milage. I will forever bash the SUV til the day it dies. Europe is no fun for this, they all drive cool cars, I miss SUV bashing when I am not around. Thus full force these days.
Still these things are pigs compared to most are they not?

"anyone reading this blog owns a Hummer I encourage you to sell it, purchase a bicycle and a bus pass"I will get right on that. We should all be like you single and alone. You are such Euro trash.

Well thank you all for your comments including the "anonymous". All comments are appreciated and welcome on p-productions. I would encourage that you come out of your shell anonymous and tell me and my readers who you are and a little about yourself and background. Here at p-productions (as you may have noticed) no one is ashamed to link their commentary to a form of identity and nor will they be judged unnecessarily. Unless of course you actually do own a Hummer and I will then comment further.
In response to anonymous I would like to clear a couple of points: I wouldn't actually call myself Euro as I have only lived in that place a few years of my life. I do appreciate many European values however, and perhaps true to my northern European ties environmental awareness is one of them. That is one thing that p-productions stands for and I never miss an opportunity to make that clear. This fact has nothing to do with my marital status, that is purely a matter of choice at this point in time.
Although this commentary was mainly directed at "anoymous" it goes for everyone reading this blog. The blog world is about freedom of expression and that goes both ways. If you disagree with what I have to say, let me know with a comment, but please present yourself first as is common social etiquette in all areas of life.

How does owning a bicycle and a bus pass make one "Euro trash"? You'll have to explain that one Anonymous.
