I Like You the Best

O sad neglected corner of Internet Space. Don't bat those sad, tired eyes at me like I know what empathy is.

You know you're my favorite, my little surrogate Tweetlonger service that you are.

With that out of the way (maybe there are people watching) the question for the day is:

Why do people make phone calls when they are standing in line waiting for something else, e.g.

*Bring* *Bring* (Although my phone ring is more like 'Check it out, check it out, check out,' courtesy of some Mary van Note voice thievery)

Me: Hallo (Affected Brit-person accent and all)

Friend: Hey man, oh hold on a second I need to make this order cause it's my turn in line.

Me: OH OK (Nodding silently to the beat of imaginary hold music)

(The rest is irrelevant)
=================================

Seriously. If American schools aren't going to teach civics they should at least teach cell phone etiquette. DON'T CALL ME IF YOU'RE NOT READY TO TALK!

I love y'all but come on: Spare me.

So, ummmm, how y'all doing anyway? Anything cool happen lately? Discuss.

Antipathy

Blogging about not blogging is like watching a reality show about blogging.

Being somewhat of a recluse

I find that I'm drawn to other recluses which makes for some positively heart stopping conversation if you manage to get one going.

*Listens to the silence*

See my point?

Always and Forever

Driving me nuts with that thing you do every single time.

Thirty three years old and everything is exactly the same as if it was yesterday all over again, every day for the rest of my life.

I've always had the feeling

That if you looked close enough, you could see the zipper on that guy, unzip that human sized suit he's wearing and another person would fall out, a totally different person.

Description.

She was unlike anything I could ever have imagined a person to be.

If you could imagine that.

Usually

I'm able to shrug off the overwhelming burden of it all. You know, the pointless decision making, the rhetorical questioning and all that other crap people put stock in because they think somehow they can avoid an inevitable outcome.

Usually, but not lately.

I'd elaborate but my tea is getting cold and it ain't gonna drink itself.

Just Learned on The Interweb!

Opinions, no matter how strongly worded are not a substitute for facts.

I had it all wrong this whole time.

I think.

One of you folks out there

Has to know some German, right? Good!

The German language has a word for taking pleasure in the pity of others, schadenfreude. I'd hazard a guess that there's one for wallowing in your own self pity.

Tell me it if you know and I'll next day air you a three legged unicorn.

97% Of the Time

If a person self identifies as Black on an internet discussion medium and makes a comment about a perceived injustice tied to racial inequality, the first 20 responses will be some form of "GET OVER IT ALREADY."

Feel free to check my math.

I love

Using words that I've never used before. Always a nice feeling to Dictionary check it and find that I understand the meaning.
