This Just In

Yeah. I live under a rock. No, that's no supposed to be news.

This, however, is: Madonna is still hot as fuck.

That is all.

Melissa, I Feel Your Pain

I just had one of my mens change my other back tire. This one has a screw in it. The last one, which I just barely had fixed, which is the one on the OTHER side, had a nail in it. Also, I washed my car. It'll probably rain tomorrow.

You'd be amazed at how much bird shit you can drive around with.

That is all. Back to work!

American Consumerism

It's fucking disgusting, people. Stop it. Stop buying shit (particularly shit made in China) that's way over priced and is going to break in a month anyway. Stop buying shit you don't need, just because it's pretty. Stop buying shit that sounds too good to be true, because it probably is. Stop buying shit because you think it'll make your life easier. STOP BUYING SHIT. Stop buying purses, shoes, single clothing items, and other stupid over priced shit that's more than a hundred dollars.

I was flipping through the T.V. earlier and caught a blip from an infomercial of some body suit that's supposed to make you 'lose' two inches. The women wearing it enthusiastically said, "image is everything." I changed the channel. To her and the product she's endorsing I say fuck you. You're part of the problem.

Life isn't about what you have or what you look like. It's about being happy. It's about love, not being in love or being loved, but it's about loving. It's about kindness. It's about letting that guy turn in front of you even though you don't have to. It's about buying your co-working lunch and hoping she never pays you back. It's about patting your dog or cat on the head every night before you go to bed. It's about smiling and saying, "How are you?" to someone you may never ever converse with again. People don't make you happy. Things don't make you happy. Only your own simple pleasures can. Only you can make you happy.

"For that which you seek you find not within yourself, you'll never find it without. For behold, I was with you from the beginning, and I am That which is attained at the end of desire." - The Charge Of The Goddess, written by Doreen Valiente.

It is what it is.

Wow, this week's gone by fast. I talked to the gay guy from the previous post, and he's immune to the Mono. Which is awesome. I'm thinking I was feeling bad last weekend because my wisdom tooth was giving me hell. It abscessed a few years ago, and since then it's gone back and forth from completely fine to horribly painful. Last weekend we were on a horribly painful bender. The weird thing is, it hurt right up until about 5am Monday morning, then boom, nothing. No pain. I fell asleep and was jubilant enough to go to work.

It crossed my mind ever so briefly to call in dead. But I've been feeling really good all week. I took on a new little kitten, I'll have pictures soon up on my flickr. They're already on my Myspace. He is very cute. I've named him Epoch, because that's my coffee shops name and that's where I adopted him from.

Alright, I have the sleepy. But, before I go, one quick story. I was hanging with a friend the other night, and we were both starving, so, we decided to go to Wendy's. Before we'd left, my friend was on a "I spent the best years of my life fighting for this country, and for what?" bender. Yeah. He was in the military. Something to do with guns, special forces. I don't know. He doesn't talk much about it.

So, we go to Wendy's and he orders some of those new chicken wraps. All the same, homestyle. The first one he eats is spicy, "This shit is spicy! This isn't what I ordered." I was quiet, mentally torn between suggesting we go back and tear someone a new asshole - but gas is really really expensive - and telling him to shut the fuck up and eat.

He laughed, out of no where. "I spent the best years of my life fighting for this country so that some immigrant I'm not even sure is legal could fuck up my order at Wendy's. That's great."

Sadly, I couldn't control my laughter. I told him I was going to write it down. Not that he internets, but, here it is. The best thing I'd heard all fucking week.
