Things I've Been Noticing More & More

Basketball sneakers have gotten really ugly and very expensive.

All those people who were crying for the warm weather to come are the same ones bitching it's too hot.

Heavy guys should never have long hair and heavy girls should never have short hair.

More and more people are getting tattoos....really stupid looking tattoos.

Remember Farmville?

It's 90 degrees out, why do teenagers have fake tans?

Finds nothing funnier than people who are snooty about $10 bottles of wine, but pay $7 for a glass.

Why do all television commercials feature guys with women they could never really get in real life.

In an appendage to my last comment - have women become more superficial or is it just that I'm an asshole?

The World Cup showed me two things about soccer.  It can be very boring and other countries are much better looking than us.

It seems that half the commercials on TV have something to do with itch relief.  Is it really that rampant?

When you go to a deli and order turkey and cheese, why do they give you eight slices of turkey and two slices of cheese?  At home I do half and half.

What happened to pizza?

While reading Facebook updates it has occurred to me that we are not a healthy country, yet the same people who are always sick are the ones who are against universal health care.

Girls are dressing sluttier and sluttier but get offended more than ever when you gawk or comment.

If I drink twenty beers, I go pee once a beer.  If I drink twenty vodkas and sodas, I go twice a night.

Is anyone else worried about the amount of sinkholes that have been in the news?

How is it possible a huge dish with General Tso's chicken, broccoli, pork fried rice, an egg roll and soda is $6.25 for lunch, but a slice of pizza with pepperoni is $4?  They even give you a cookie after!

I have one job that doesn't allow me to take time off during the school year and another that doesn't allow me to take off during the summer or during holidays. 

About 80% of the films I've watched this year are foreign. I've gotten so used to it, I sometimes put the subtitles on when it's an American film.

I heard about this the other day and believe if anyone buys their child the "kid version" of Sarah Palin's book.  They should have their kids taken away.  Honestly.

I whole-heartily believe that late afternoon naps are why I am still alive.

Why is it that white kids don't play sports unless it's organized by adults?

I have been without cable and a computer at home for about eight months and I can't say I miss it.

Someone mentioned on Facebook that it's impossible to drive by a lemonade stand without stopping and it reminded me about something that happened a few years ago and how society has changed.  I stopped by a lemonade stand and asked them for a cup.  They said it was $1 (they were big cups).  So I asked for two cups and gave them $5. I told the kids to keep the change.  The mother ran after me and argued with me that she didn't know what my "deal" was but not to offer her kids extra money.  I took my $3 back and drove away.  This my friends, is what our world has come to.

White Privilege

This was a post I wrote on Facebook after surprisingly not seeing any moaning about the Documentary by Jose Antonio Vargas, titled White People Dayyum! I just scrolled my timeline and not a single white person got their feelings hurt by White People. I unfortunately haven't seen it, but the number of fake accounts that popped up on twitter, tells me it was a damn good show. Here's the thing. If someone of color aka non-white says "White Privilege," are you offended? If you said yes, then you are exhibiting white privilege. It has nothing to do with how hard you work or study, how you stayed out of trouble, because here's the thing, that is entirely the point. Somewhere out there, there are 100 Black, Spanish, Native American, Arab, Asian, who worked and studied as hard as you and never got in trouble, but they don't have what you "earned" or achieved. Stop looking at the one person you know who isn't white that achieved as your benchmark. Loo...

Lists

Americans are obsessed with lists. Christmas Lists, Top Ten Lists, Shopping Lists, Hell, when I was a kid, one of the most popular books was aptly titled, The Book of Lists. We're obsessed. I make lists all the time and while I try to use the universally accepted limit of ten items, they rarely end up that way. That being said, lists are a terrible thing. I have never, not once in my life, used a shopping list. You know what I'm good at? Shopping. I buy what's on sale, forgoing the avocados this week and buying some peaches that looked ripe and at a bargain. I walk down every aisle and find things I'd never think to add to the holy list, but now see the large can is but 89 cents. Lists keep us from exploring. The inspiration for this, was not a rebuttal to a friends first blog, in which she lists things, proclaiming lists are a part of her life. No, this was inspired by a comical moment had at 5:18 in the morning. I went to get a glass of water and gazed in the frid...

If You Listen To One Speech - Lana Wachowski

http://www.rollingstone.com/movies/videos/lana-wachowski-opens-up-about-difficult-past-and-attempted-suicide-20121024 Today I saw a link to a video for a speech by Lana Wachowski.  The last name rung a bell, but I could't put my finger on it. Lana, used to be Larry, one of the writer, director, producers of the Matrix trilogy, V for Vendetta and the upcoming Cloud Atlas.  Lana is transgendered and has "come out" as a woman.  She was being honored by the Human Rights Campaign. I didn't know what to expect when this broad woman with crazy hair and a raspy voice began to speak.  She began with the usual pleasantries and told of her hair dresser. She then tells of her desire to be a quiet person and how hard the success of the Matrix movies made this.  The first ten minutes is telling of how she's not quite ready to be this spokesperson.  Then she speaks about the new movie Cloud Atlas and reveals the heart of the movie and this speech. She states,"The resp...
