Went to the movies today.

I think part of why I don't go to the movies is that it involves paying money to watch people living lives I never will, know what I mean?

But still.

Fuck.

God, it just made me feel like such a complete fuck-up.

And it's all my fault; I mean, I could change but I just don't.  I feel like I'm depriving myself of life, but I ( Read more... )

I had several things I was thinking about putting on here tonight.

You're getting the poem.

Sorry. :-)  It's all I can handle right now.

What the Hell

You rang
looking for textbooks
surprised it's not in stock
what the hell?

You called
I was eating lunch
we close at eleven
what the hell?

You came
with your New York Times
yes, we DO charge tax
what the ( Read more... )

Just a thought...

We're all sad about the miners that died in West Virginia.  I went to bed last night after 2AM thinking they were all alive but one.  I called Michael this morning after I woke up but before I turned on the TV, and asked him, "Did you hear about the miners?"  His "yeah" was a little depressing, so I asked him what had happened, ( Read more... )

Dear Cable News Channels:

I'm a big fan. I love to watch you, all of you.  You all have your quirks--your pros and cons.  While I could debate about what I think is worthy news and my opinions on the coverage most stories are getting [too much or too little], that's not why I'm writing.

I just saw on CNN, my "primary" news channel, that twelve of ( Read more... )

As you can probably imagine, I was very excited to learn about my acceptance into the Social Studies Education major at UGA.  I went to work and bought my copy of "Freakonomics" and checked out "The Undercover Economist."  I spent a morning daydreaming of teaching my students about awesome topics like scarcity, supply and demand, and price ( Read more... )

Dear Mike,

I am pleased to inform you that you have been accepted for admission into the Social Studies Education Program.  From the numerous applications we received this semester, we selected the top twenty-five students.  A committee of faculty instructors judged all applications and rank-ordered them according to our ( Read more... )

To My Beloved Customers:

I truly hope you are enjoying your holiday season.  Many of you are off or taking time off to be with your families, and I think that's great.  By shopping with us, you are participating in an American tradition--buying tons of crap for Christmas.  And, while we're all glad for the extra business [especially managers!], ( Read more... )

So, I've been meaning to post my Grandma/Thanksgiving story for a while.

Recap:  My Grandmother who lives here in Georgia--remember her?  Last spring we went to visit her and she answered her door drunk, with no pants on.  Then she kinda fell into the dryer.  Ring any bells?

Yes, well, my family and I brought her a little Thanksgiving dinner on the ( Read more... )

My Thanksgiving sucked.  I was back at my apartment, alone, by 6:30.  I didn't plan on coming home until today.  Parents changed plans last minute.  Will bitch later.  I was the only person in Athens last night.

I didn't sleep well last night.  I don't know why.  Consequently, I am borderline tired, and I am less than an hour from my 8.5+hr shift ( Read more... )

Today was our holiday meeting at work, which was fine.  I didn't really learn anything, but free breakfast was nice.  Bonus:  I had to work anyway, so instead of shelving [yuck] for two hours I got to sit in the cafe and misbehave.  I think I offended fewer people this year than last year. :-)

But something our music manager mentioned has my blood ( Read more... )
