I think I would like my own theme music. Like, everywhere I go, a little background music to define what Im doing, or how Im feeling.
Can we establish some rules for voice mail? First, you aren't DJ Red Alert. You don't have to put on some beats as a lead in to your message, so that I have to sit through the first verse of Yeah before I find out if I dialed the right number. And then, don't voice over the song with that FM DJ, "sultry sounds of the love doctor" voice. Sometimes I hear these voice mail messages, and I start wondering if the call is costing me 1.99 a minute. And you don't need to tell me to leave my name and a message.....somehow, I figured that out. And now the messages that are left. Can we all just set a limit to the message length? Ok, if you are leaving a little comedy routine, and it takes some time, ok, make me laugh. But I dont need your whole life story. As soon as the message goes past 15 seconds, im deleting it. Don't you hate the message that tells you everything the person wanted to talk about, its like 4 minutes long, and then at the end, its like, "Call me back." Why? You just told me everything. Im gonna call you and just sit there rehashing everything you just said.
Freaking allergies. What is the point of allergies? About once a month, or just every now and then, I get em so bad, I cant even function. Eyes water, throat itches, nose stuffed up. It is ridiculous. Then, I have to pop about a handful of Benadryl, and next thing you know, I'm waking up in the year 2052. No rhyme or reason, just absolute hell for one day. Then, next day, as if nothing happened. Thanks genetics! Having a great time!
Want to read garbage? I mean, really want to understand our country? Read Dred Scott v. Sanford, in which the Supreme Court interpreted the Constitution to say that black people were not to be considered citizens, and therefore, could not be granted a citizen's rights. In addition, Scott, a slave who was taken into free states by Sanford, was declared property, and allowing him to be free would be a deprivation of the property of Sanford, and henceforth, a violation of Due Process per the 5th amendment. This was in 1857. We sure have come a long way, haven't we?
I just hate some people. There are just those people who say such stupid shit, that no one wants to hear it. You know what I mean? Like they say something, and everyone cringes. They are a real polarizing force. Im here, in a room full of law students, many a different personality represented. However, this dough head in front, every time he talks, we all just look at each other like, dude, are you serious? Nothing unites people like a shared hatred. Case in point: Went to the Sharks-Blues hockey game on Sat. Like, two years ago, Chris Pronger laid a cheap shot on a Sharks player. So here we are, two years later, booing in unison, cheering every penalty this guy commits. It was like we were all of the same mind for that 3 hours. Rooting for the good guys, booing the bad guys. It was beautiful. High fiving and hugging strangers after goals, being polite to everyone in a Sharks jersey like they were family. And then, we all go outside, ignore each other, drive like idiots, cursing out the Camry that just cut you off. What an amazing dynamic.....
Working out is a great feeling.....until the next day. My arms are absolutely burning. I cant even type! But that means it's working right? Or, it means I've torn every tendon in my elbow.....again.
Soooooooo sleepy. Want nappy......
Ok back...whew!
Ok, a little free flow thought, just gonna type whatever comes to mind:
I wear a pinky ring, is that a good look? I like it, but I dont see alot of people wearing em, except for mob bosses. Not that that is a bad thing. I have been watching the Sopranos religiously this year. That's weird, religiously. We say that alot, anything we do regularly. Shouldn't we be saying habitually? Is it really a religion to just keep doing the same thing over and over again? Then again, maybe it is. When you think about it, for most people, religion just means going to church every Sunday, going through the motions. Half of them have no idea what they are doing there. Just think it's the right thing to do. And have you ever noticed how rude people can be leaving church? There is this mad scramble for the door. It is so weird. I mean, no one HAS to be there, but they all show up, and then can't wait to leave. Seriously, if it is that much of a chore, don't go! Then again, it's all about showing out for each other, making sure people know how pious they are. Yeah right. What a hypocritical world we live in. I would give money to NOT know what goes on behind the closed doors of my neighborhood. Who knows what kind of crazy things people are up to. And that's another thing. Whenever they arrest a serial killer, they always interview the idiotic neighbors, who say "He always kept to himself. He was very quiet." And of course, that is followed with the adage, "It's the quiet ones you gotta worry about." Im not so sure. I'll put you in a room with one guy minding his own business, reading the paper in the corner, and some idiot with his hair on fire screaming at the top of his longs banging a wooden spoon on a pot.........who are you going to keep an eye on? Follow that stupid logic, and you'll be so busy watching the quiet neighbor, the loud and crazy mf behind you will come up and kill ya! But I digress. Life is such a chore. Everyday is a grind, isn't it? You just putter through all the crap looking for those little nuggets of joy during the day. The taste of a freshly opened coke. A new article online by your favorite writer (or blogger?). Reading the paper, or doing the crossword. Little breaks in the day that help you escape from reality. It really does suck when you think about it. How many of us really want to work? No one! Wouldn't we all be happier chillin at home, watching Sale of the Century? There are some driven people in this world, but how driven would they be if there wasn't this economic pecking order established? But now I'm just being idealistic, and that really leads to nothing. Better to think within the constraints of the world we have. It's a grind, but it's not so bad. Save for the violence, and abuse, and mental illness, and pollution, corrupt politics, war, poverty, hatred, racism, sexism........there is still nachos, beer and the ballgame. And somehow, that makes it all ok....
