Tasty

I don’t know what they put into the tubes of Flavor-Ice, but I guarantee there is some sort of highly addictive drug laced in there.  It doesn’t matter what I do, I have at least five of these things on any given day.  There’s no way to stop eating them.  And because they only charge three bucks per 100 for the “expensive” kind, it’s hard to not buy them.  You have to be insane to see them at the store and walk passed them without picked them up.  I’m just going to go ahead and say it: I hate anyone who doesn’t like Flavor-Ice.  It’s pretty much un-human to not like Flavor-Ice.  You have to be some sort of Borg to turn it down.  If someone offers you a Flavor-Ice, you take it; there’s no two ways about it, unless, of course, you fall into any one of these categories: zombie, witch, golem, robot, salamander,  harpy, or centaur.

Groundskeeping

I enjoy a well manicured lawn.  I do. They look nice and they feel nice, but how much mowing does one place need?  The little plot outside of my apartment gets over-cut on a weekly basis.  Well actually, it’s more like daily.  They mow this stuff every other day, and since it may or may not be about 100 degrees outside with no rain for the past three months, they’re basically just chewing up the Sahara.  It looks like an Iraqi flea market outside every couple of days, with dust and debris flying everywhere like at the camel races.  Of course, this is great for my car, which gets covered with crap and makes it nasty before it’s due.  Thanks guys.  If you want to dust stuff, go down to the wheat fields.  Don’t do it in my front yard.

Incongruent

I find it really weird to hear my own name on television. Because it’s not exactly “popular,” as in, not many people have it, it’s really strange to hear the villain or bad guy have my name. I kind of take it personally. It’s not my fault my name-doppelganger hurts the name character, but I can’t help but feel for the guy. Maybe he’s just confused. You shouldn’t harp on him because it was probably just a misunderstanding; the misunderstanding being that the girl wanted to live and the guy wanted her to not do that. See, simple?

Face Over Feet

The phrase “head over heels” really gets on my nerves. We all know what it means, but if you stop to think about it, it’s really dumb. I may or may not have my head over my heels for a good portion of the day. So basically, going head over heels for something is just like doing what you’d regularly be doing, which most likely involves wondering why BET is still a channel, you racist piece of crap.

Grow Flowers

So Earth Week is coming up soon I hear.  This is one of my favorite weeks of the year.  Not only do we get to have hippies yell at us for burning delicious fossil fuels, but we may just feel bad about it for a minute or two because it’s the week to feel bad about it.  Other than getting a hippie lecture, we also get to let the little hippies inside of us out for a week to go wild.  For example, you could take a dump in someone’s lawn.  When the owner of the the house would come and freak out in your face, all you have to say is, “Listen, buddy, this is Earth Week, and I’m just trying to save that 1.5 to 3 gallons of water for every flush.  If you don’t want to help the earth, then that’s your prerogative, but I would like to keep this world green for my children and my children’s children – not that condone children having sex, but you understand what I’m getting at.”  Then you’d promptly clench your teeth a little bit and push out a little chocolate submarine.  *plop*  That’s what Earth Week is all about.

These Grapes Have Wrath

Wind is freaking annoying sometimes. You don’t even have to do anything for wind to come out of nowhere and jack things up. Just walking down the street? Wind doesn’t care; it just wants to blow all of those papers out of your hand. Trying to read outside? Wind doesn’t care; it throws your pages all over the place so you can’t simply read and be happy. You see, wind feels like eroding everying, even your face. It picks up dirt and debris and flings it all in your eyes just because it can. Take that human race, you can put a man on the moon but stopping a good debris flinging is out of the question. I can’t wait until we have little bio-domes all over the place where we can control these type of things; well, sans Pauly Shore of course.

The Tail

You’ve all seen him. He’s that guy. The guy who comes whether he’s invited or not. The guy who makes sure to stand around and wait for you to walk by so he can follow you and make the once jolly trot miserable. You take longer and more difficult paths to your destination to avoid having to converse with the guy. A quick pulling out of the cell phone and placing a bogus call would definitely throw him off course, right? Just remember to fake a good conversation. No one always says: “No,” “Yes,” and “mmhmm” over and over again on the phone. But, alas, he has followed you home and now what? Sitting conveniently in your chair when your back is turned to fumble for an excuse as to why they need to leave, the unwanted guest cozies on up to the fire and makes himself at home…for hours. There’s no way to easily kick the bloke out. You have to put up with him while he talks about things that he thinks he knows about but really doesn’t. Because that’s his superpower: the ability to believe he knows all. It doesn’t matter if you just wrote your thesis on the molecular biology of the Icelandic tree weasel, somehow he knows that that weasel’s microscoptic make-up is in some way double and/or covalent bonded in a certain way that deteriorates the bone marrow in the third week of the summer solstace in the year of the Cock. After you bludgeon the poor man to death in your mind’s eye, you proceed to… BLUDGEON THE POOR MAN TO DEATH. You drop the tire iron on the carpet, not caring about it staining anything as the now warm corpse in the reclining chair has sufficiently done so already. Knowing the sound of the metal tool of death didn’t permeate the walls of your quaint village homestead, you take some time to burn off all of your finger prints and pack a suitecase. The flight to India will be a litte over 20 hours. On the plane, cruising at an altitude of 5,000 feet, you think to yourself, “All this because of that freaking tag-along.” Don’t be a freaking tag-along.

Punch, Punch, Kick

I swear the next time I see some douche walking around using the speakerphone function of their cell phone I’m going to flip out ninja-style and pull out their jugular. If you’re walking on the sidewalk, the ambient noise is enough to make you put the cell phone right up to your mouth while you’re using that speakerphone crap, so what’s the freaking point? It’s another six inches to put it up to your ear! Is six inches too far for you fatty?!? So instead of just using the phone normally, you forfeit common courtesy and make us listen to you shout into the phone while you pull your little backpack with the wheels on it because your books are just soooo heavy. Seriously; what the crap? You deserve me slide-tackling you and elbowing you in the face. How does using the speakerphone setting benefit anything? It doesn’t, that’s how. Unless you need to share a conversation with someone next to you or have too many things in your hand and have to set the phone down, it’s only use is to get me angry. I have this feature on my phone, and it’s as loud as a mother, but guess what, THE EARPIECE WORKS EVEN BETTER. Imagine that. It’s almost as if that’s the way to use a phone. Good job with that speakerphone there, buddy, I’m sure it’ll help you out when you’re popping collars or skating in the douchekapades.
