| annoy you |
|
Today I paid 200 bucks to get rotors and brake pads switched out on my car. Later on in the day, Keith (my parent's friend), dropped by with a $200 check for some old web work I did for his boss, Dean Pool. Ahhh, karma.
So I broke even, but THEN I went to the eye doctor to get an updated prescription (my attempt to send in an old one to 1800 Contacts failed big time). Since my insurance is no more, I had to pay $100 for them to tell me my vision hasn't changed in 5 years. One thing is cool, he gave me some new experimental lenses that are thinner and more oxygen permeable so my eyes can "breathe" and I won't get blown blood vessels over my corneas. Nice. He was a young eye doctor. I decided if I were to ever venture into the medical field I would become an Optometrist. You play with all these cool machines everyday and look deep into people's eyes without having to really touch them. Purrrrfect. There is some friggin craze going on around this neighborhood lately. In the past week, from children coming to the door... I've bought chocolate bars, cookie dough and nuts. The grand total being $23. It's hard for me to say no when they have a young mother standing there. Hovering... staring at you thinking, "Don't say 'no' to my child. How could you?" It's good to see they are getting their kids used to pushing overpriced sugar on people who don't need it. Gives them a good sense of capitalism. Last night, I was up pretty late watching this show on MTV called Boiling Point. Hilarious. I friggin love it. There is something about annoying the shit out of someone until they explode that I just REALLY connect with. I just LOVE it. The skit that made me laugh the most was this one where they set up cameras at a check out lane in a food store. The food would get rung up and sent to the bagger. He was this huge dude with glasses. Well, he would take the food and just smash it into bags... bashing and forcing it into places. Boxes opened, cans crushed. Basically, everything that got bagged, got obliverated... all while the shopper just stood there and watched. I was on the ground in tears. The point of the show is, if they can not blow up in a certain amount of time, they get $100 (which isn't really much money for most people, but nice to have). Another funny one was when this dude would go up and stare into a window that people are sitting down to eat at on the other side. I've ALWAYS wanted to do that. Whenever I see people eating right next to a street window, I just want to tap on the glass and ogle them like they're fish in an acquarium. I went and saw Shaun of the Dead the other night. It filled my expectations of being a goofy British horror. I give it a 8.5 outta 10. I would have watched more this weekend, but there's a story behind that. When I was in LA, Paul & Leslie had Netflix so I ordered Pi & Drugstore Cowboy. The 2 DVDs showed up the last day I was there, so I packed them up and took them back to Florida. Honestly, I figured I'd watch em, and mail em back ASAP. No harm done. Little did I know this would send Leslie over the edge. She sent me an email with lots of exclamation points. I called her to explain and laugh it off. She wasn't laughing. I guess it takes 5 days to return those Netflix DVDs from FL, so I had to mail them back without watching them. "Fuck-a-doodle-doo." I'm just a natural when it comes to being annoying. Maybe I can find a job that pays to have this characteristic. I have to go make loud noises and do cartwheels around the house now. BLAH! |

| BOOOOoooo! |

I guess the only thing todo now is become absorbed by the darkness. I feel like a bunch of energy has been wasted. In his most recent post, Moby made a good point about how we should split up the New America:
"can someone remind me why secession is not an option at this point? i mean let's be realistic, we live in a divided country. can't we have the breakaway republics of 'north-east-istan' and 'pacific-stan'? wouldn't the red states be happier without us? we could still travel freely and trade freely with them, but can't we just leave? then you could have 3 countries: northeastistan pacificstan redstateistan one other option would be for us to all join the republican party en masse and make it socially liberal and fiscally conservative(as opposed to it's current 'socially puritanical/fiscally insane' status). ok, it's done. john kerry has seceded. if you need us, my friends and i will be drunk for the next 4 years. -moby" |
