Good writing

I quite enjoy a book that involves characters with accents. These books are made even better when the author writes such that when a person talks, it forces you to read with the accent. I love that shit. It helps me perfect my accents so I can better impersonate others. Sadly, my accents all sound like some Aussie/English/Irishman. I also have a a very poor latin accent which is probably more offensive than it is accurate. If anybody has a good book suggestion to improve my skills let me know.

Oh, is there a new law that says if you use a cane then you can't wash your hair? Seriously, I saw some middle-aged ladies the other day who could have greased a sumo through a manhole with their hair. Blech! I mean c'mon now, if your worried about falling over in the shower (which is probably pimped out with handles) then take a bath. Or you can invest in those nice non-slip pads for the tub floor.

Random Musings

Sorry everyone about the lack of postings lately, but I blame it on my recent move and incredibly poor internet connection. I never know when it will be working. Without furtherado, further or do (?) not sure how that phrase goes lets get started.

Recently the Ryder Cup was on, thats a golf competition for those not in the know, and I happened to take in a few holes. Now the PGA and the game itself has established a very elitest and gentlemanly code of conduct that even extends to the spectators. (notice how in golf they aren't even called fans, but spectators). Anywho, you will never hear a fan yell an insult at a golfer they don't like as they will be promptly escorted off the course. BUT they'll let that jackass who after every drive yells ' GET IN THE HOLE!!!' stay for the entire day? Doesn't matter if its a 600 yard par 5, that tool still uses that ridiculous line. He even has the timing down to exactly when the golfer makes contact. All I know is that if I were a golfer I would much rather have to deal with an occasional fan cheering for my playing partner, trying to get in my head than have to listen to the buffoons in the gallery who think someone could in fact drive it twice the normal distance and ace the hole. Idiots. Get them off the course now.

I do not want to see the movie BeerFest. I think it would be painful to see how they somehow twist it around so that the Americans win the coveted best beer drinking/ beer gamers in the world title.

I really get a kick out of the phrase "... a brewin'." Storms a brewin', fight's a brewin', even coffee's a brewin' is good. It just gives the air of something crazy is gonna happen soon. Seriously I think it could make even dull things some anticipatory qualities. i.e. dust is a brewin'. I dunno I could think of anything good.

The middle finger is an odd gesture. If one had never saw it before would they actually get upset? I'd like to have the ability to give the middle toe. Imagine if you accidently cut off a biker and he catches up and rides along side you. He then proceeds to kick off his boot and just give you the middle toe with his nasty ass biker foot. Obviously, a safety first kinda biker since he didn't want to take his hands off his bike. I wouldn't be offended by the middle toe, just incredibly curious and happy that someone actually flipped one off.

To go with the driving gestures, I heartily believe someone must come up with a signal that means 'My bad'. Nothing pisses me off more on the road then when some road clown forcibly sneaks in front of me and then either gives me a shoulder shrug or even worse 'the wave'. Like fuck you I didn't let you in, don't act like I did. I don't want your 'gratitude'. If someone were to maybe pat their head I'd more likely react like ' oh, they made a bad move, but they realize it. It happens to everybody.' Then I'd have to rant about those jerks you give you a sarcastic head pat. Man, I can already see those jerks getting to me. So please someone come up with a sign that says "my bad" that is also hard to do sarcastically.

I enjoy cotton candy, but too much hurts my teeth.

I'm going to bed... after I brush my teeth. Yay boy!

Headsets

Is it possible to not look like a prick while wearing one of those headset microphones? Cuz if it is, I have yet to see it. It eerily parallels how people in neckbraces always look as though they deserved their injury.l

Pears

I saw a guy on the street the other day eating a pear. I thought to myself "How queer". Not in gay sense cuz pears are far from queer, but in the 'how strange and different' sense. It made me smile. Who eats a pear?
