Hear This

A girl I know posted this on her Facebook wall:

“I might not be someone’s first choice, but I’m a great choice.” which is true, she is a great person!

“I may not be rich, but I am valuable.” Again, true. Have you seen that post going around about how you might be de-valuing yourself and marking down your “price” because of low self esteem? That’s a good one, too.

“I don’t pretend to be someone that I’m not because I’m pretty great at being ME.” Ya know, almost everyone pretends to be someone they are not on the first couple of dates. They shine their shoes and carefully choose their clothes – even coordinating underwear, shave their legs (girls) or face (guys, I hope), fuss over their hair and all – and then after the deal is sealed they shower less, toss the makeup, wear XXL teeshirts and sweatpants and get fat. Its human nature and I fight that instinct every day.

“I might not be perfect, but I don’t need to be. Take me as I am, or watch me as I walk away.” Exactly.

Scanning My Ass Off

September 3, 2011 // Posted in Living (Tags: , , , , ) |  Comments Off

Found a big box of photographs from when I was a kid and I thought it would be cool to look through them. But what I found was a big pile of photos that had gotten wet somehow and they were sticking together and had mildew on them. I was so pissed! I can’t believe that these photos are ruined.

So I pulled some of them out and tried wiping them off and its a fucking mess. So then I decided I should just scan them and make them digital so that I don’t have to worry about any of them getting wet or burning up or fading from the chemicals getting old or whatever. So I’ve been scanning my ass off all day and I’m about halfway through the whole project.

Barking Dogs

There is a dog down at the end of my street that has been barking for a solid hour. What is up with that? Did the idiots who live in that house just put the dog outside and leave the house so they are not hearing this? Or are they sitting inside with gritted teeth waiting for the damn dog to shut the hell up like the rest of the neighborhood?

Sew It or Toss It?

I have a jacket that I liked a lot but when I put it on, I found out that the buttons are missing. How the hell can all the buttons go missing off a jacket? I mean, really. How does that happen?

I like the jacket. I know that I didn’t pull off all those fucking buttons and I have no idea where they would be at. So I either have to go to some store and buy a bunch of buttons and sew them on, or I can just toss the jacket and say fuck it.

Kool Aid

Today’s kids seem to be drinking carbonated sodas as their daily drink and refreshment. I know that when I was a kid we rarely drank sodas. I don’t think my parents ever even bought any soda at the grocery store to keep at home.

We were allowed to drink milk, orange juice, Kool Aid and iced tea. As a treat we might get lemonade or apple juice. I think the only time we ever drank sodas was when we were taken to McDonald’s for a treat of a hamburger, fries and coke.

That was a big deal and only for special occasions. Now, kids eat at McDonald’s and other fast food places every day. No wonder they are fat.
