A Venting for the New Year
Well finally back to the rant. I hope ye all had a good time over the holidays. I've heard great stories ranging from dislocating elbows in the Dominican to skiing at Blue Mountain to partying in Swiss cheese land (Switzerland). One thing I looked forward to after the holidays is people stop abusing the word 'sleeps' so frequently. For me 'sleeps' is a verb and only a verb as in "He sleeps in his bed" or " She sleeps with her toe in her ear". Sleeps should not be used as a synonym for nights, ie "4 more sleeps till Christmas". I'd accept " 4 more nights of sleep till Christmas". Although not spelling out a number less than ten is taboo as well. People will argue sleeps is the plural of sleep. Wrong! That would be like saying deers is the plural of deer. Just because 's' pluralizes a fuck load of things/actions/words doesn't mean it pluralizes everything.
On to other topics. Over the holidays I went from being pretty shaggy to a more clean cut look. I tend to do this mainly out of the fact the haircuts are just inconvenient. One of the hardest things I find about this transition (aside from not recognizing my reflection right away) is I can't judge how much shampoo to use. I use less but its still usually way to much. I find I get way to much freaking lather that just becomes impossible to manage.
I brought this up with ' Dislocated in Dominican' who said "Try it with one freaking arm in a garbage bag!" As pouring shampoo onto the bagged hand is futile, one must resort to just pouring the shampoo from the bottle straight onto the head. Since you already have water pouring down on you, I can only imagine how hard it is to judge how much you've poured onto your hair. I'd probably cover my head with shampoo before any lathering is started, which I believe this fellow does.
Has anyone had a Hop'n Go? Its a muffin in bar form. Man, those things are so fucking dense. I can be starving, but I still find it an accomplishment when I finish one off. And its not like they are that big to begin with.
What the hell are you supposed to do when your walking behind your boss at work and he just lets one rip? I just tried not to laugh too loud.
I got some more to vent but I'll save that for another day as to make the posts more frequent.
Remember, there's about 354 more nights of sleep till Christmas.

I have to stick up for the use of the world 'sleeps'. I know that 'sleeps' isn't a proper word, that's what makes it funny... Ok, 'funny' might be bit strong, but you know what I mean :)
Who washes their hair with whilst water is showering upon it. Personally, I wet it, remove my head from the water and then proceed to shampoo. I know that they make two-in-one shampoo-conditioners, but trying to save time by washing and rinsing at the same time is an exercize in futility.
Also the term, "sleeps" is over used, especially by girls who IM. An example of the proper use of sleeps is as follows: "I am the guy who sleeps with your mom."
