-I like when women bring up showering. It fills my mind with pleasant images. Some bellas may not realize the effect it has. To clarify, I think about getting in the shower with the woman who brings it up. And how awesome that would be. And the best recycling slogan – “Save water, shower with a friend.”
-Obsession is basically an application of the internal mechanism you use to control your own mind misdirected toward other people in an attempt to control them when you have no right to do so. Obsessive people bother me. But not too much. That would be obsessive. And there’s no such thing as obsessing “too much” about a woman in a shower. But often people who follow sports are obsessive about it, and get genuinely angry over the outcome, what the referees did or didn’t do, and so forth. I find that really weird. It makes me laugh. I can’t believe people my age actually take a Patriots vs. Colts regular season football game seriously. How emotionally retarded do you have to be? I mean, sure, enjoy a game or follow a team if it makes you happy and if it is a good social outlet for you (I do this myself, when I remember to). But realize that at some point in the past 25 years, you should have matured a bit past the emotional intelligence of a ten year old. In truth, that’s not fair to most 10 year olds.
-I think when you’re an intellectual, you have to be a little bit obsessive, just to track all the details.
-Negative people are annoying. Get over yourself! Don’t be like a cloud on the happiness of others!
-I saw a bumper sticker that said something like: “how is your hope and change working out for you now?” on a piece of shit red van. A couple of thoughts: (a) pretty well, I’d say, since Obama saved the stock market and the real estate market, stabilized oil prices, pulled troops from Iraq, made friends overseas, doesn’t make constant, insane, ideological decisions with no relationship to reality on a daily basis, and so forth. (b) How is your negativity working out for you? Usually I don’t care about cars the way many people do–I like old junkers–but, c’mon, if you vote for the party of Mitt Romney and you can only afford to drive a piece of shit, your life isn’t exactly enviable, and you’re about the last person who should be moralizing in a mean-spirited manner to others.
-Read The Onion, people! It pretty much ridicules every annoying personality trait you could ever have. But here’s the thing: it’s doing you a favor–it can make you a better person. When confronted with the inefficacy of your own personality flaw, you can either do what most people do, and defend it like a complete idiot; or you can resolve to work on it and change it. Or make a joke about it; sometimes you can’t change yourself, but you can at least let yourself in on the joke, and that does have the effect of changing it somewhat.
-I don’t know if I want to be involved in the “raising children” game. I’ve actually been thinking lately that not ever getting married would be OK too. For one thing, I don’t like or trust or value weddings, not that you have to have one if you get married, I suppose. I’d like girlfriends, for the companionship (and sex, if I haven’t made that clear enough lately) and the things you experience in a relationship, good and bad, but I don’t know. I used to think “dying alone” was scary, and it might be, but we die alone anyway. If we make the effort to have friends, we should feel pretty well cared for. And single people, well, wow, I think they’re pretty cool after traveling with a couple dozen of them this year.
Speaking of The Onion, here’s one about quite possibly the world’s biggest douchetard. It really is a shame, too:
Victim In Fatal Car Accident Tragically Not Glenn Beck
I think it’s funny we use the French word for shower as an insult to each other. I like showers, especially when women are involved.
