Jenny On the Spot

From Sacto… from Sac-Town… From  Sactcy Sacterson…

I digress.

I arrived at Jen’s place yesterday! We are heading out to San Francisco shortly - hoping we’ll be there in time to catch the BlogHer Newbies Mixer! ***crossing fingers***

But before I got to here… I had to get on a plane and fly here… and you know what happens on planes… don’t you? You meet people. And you know what happens when a blogger meets people… don’t you? She finds a story.

I met Cody on the plane. He was a fella in his early 20’s who openly shared about why he got fired from his last job. He shared quite a bit about his love of alcohol and how his granny used to help him pack his suitcase full of liquor they’d buy at the commissary and she’d send him home with gallons of liquor. When he was 18. That’s Granny, always lookin’ out for her boy :)

I learned so many things about Cody and his young life in our 1.5 hours in the air. Like, how his jaw was broken when he joined in on a street brawl and was slugged by a guy wearing a pair of brass knuckles. I also learned a little about genetically modified corn. Whu? Yep. I did.

My favorite moment was when we got our 100 calorie pack of cheese crackers. He looked at the bag, looked at me, looked at the bag, held up the bag and said, “This is so dumb! What’s up with 100 calories?! It. Is. SO. Jacked. Up!!” I was all shaking my head up and down and from side to side because I was so confused. Where was he going? The ladies - we luv us some 100 calorie pack snacks, so I wasn’t following.

Then he said, “I mean - without calories You. Are. $%^ed!!!” He dropped another of many f-bombs…

True that Cody. I think he should be the new spokesperson for say, Hostess. He could hold up a a box of Twinkies and exclaim, “Without calories you’re &*^%ed! Eat Hostess cupcakes and save your life!!!”

Gosh. What am I not a hot-shot in the advertising world? I am On! Fire!
