spiderman

There's a window washer outside my window right now. Flying care-free side to side like a clock pendulum keeping time on the side of my building. What if he was to fall 10 stories to his death on the sidewalk right now? Would anyone notice? If so, how many of those who noticed would freak out and come down with post-traumatic stress syndrome? Would anyone miss him? Would his death affect more people than his life?

I've decided I like things set to random. My itunes, my photos screensaver - both set to shuffle all the time. My TV even has a random button which I frequent. I could waste a whole day hitting the "I'm Feeling Lucky" button on Google. Sometimes I'll drive to work via different streets downtown just to mix it up.

I bet the Black Eyed Peas were sitting around one day and Fergie said, “Hey, I bet if we put out the dumbest song ever, people are so stupid that they’ll play it and buy it anyway!” And the rest of the Peas went, “Yeah, let’s call it My Humps!”

Note to people writing your resume: Leave off the "hobbies" section. Unless you're applying for a job building sop box racers, don't include that on your resume. And another thing, do NOT list "Internet" under your computer skills.

What is it about barbers that makes them so reproach? I sit there, watch myself get butchered, yet I say nothing. I can tell my sideburns are not even, but I sit there and say "looks great!", then give her a tip on top of that!

Why can they create a liger (tiger/lion hybrid) but they haven't figured out how to cross a human and a monkey? Now that I write that, I think I've asked that question before.

Happy Birthday To Me!

Always feel a little uncomfortable on my birthday. Something weird about having a party/celebration thrown for me and receiving gifts when I've done nothing to deserve it. I can tell I'm on the "back 9" of life now that I don't look forward to getting older anymore. Happy 28th to me!

ponderings

I was thinking about the story of Goldilocks and The Three Bears today on the way to work. Baby Bear really gets screwed in the whole deal. Bitch-ass Goldilocks.

On the same subject, I really hate that Hummer commercial with the 3 bears. I hate Hummer commercials in general, but spoiled brat Goldilocks stealing Baby's car? FU Hummer!

I liked this and thought I'd throw it up here.

subway

Funny how the mind wonders sometimes. Sometimes it doesn't catch up in time before you have to use it. For instance, today I went to Subway for lunch, waiting in line, mind wondering, and I order a football meatlong sandwich. Made the Subway lady's day.

death cab

Saw death cab for cutie Friday night. Best show I've seen in a long time. It was at this small theater in Fort Worth. Stars opened for them which was a big bonus. It was the only other Texas show besides the obligatory Austin stop.

It was interesting seeing the other attendees. It's funny that in an effort to look different, everyone ends up looking the same. 200 Seth Cohens wearing converse. Not that there's anything wrong with that - everyone is allowed to dress as they please. And I guess relative to the rest of North Texas, they get their point across. I don't know - just seemed like they were all trying too hard to pull off an "image". After a beer and the lights went out, I was over it.

Not going to be negative. The therapist in my head said I need to work on that. Great show, very moving in parts. If they come to your town I highly recommend checking them out.
