6 - June 7, 2010


Initial Impressions

June 7, 2010

1.      Woke up Saturday at 8:45am with it pitch black out, the line of severe thunderstorms that rolled through were sick.  It actually got really bright when the rain came down like one big sheet.  I pity those who were outside in that.
2.      Did not know there was a such thing as a Sharpie tree until I saw one hanging on a branch leaving work today.  Where do I buy Sharpie seeds so I can grow my own?
3.      Nothing beats cold, raw chicken juice as it runs down your leg into your sock.  Sadly it was not the first time, nor was it the worst thing I’ve spilled on myself.
4.      I guess I am the last person to get smacked by the pollen, it worked its way down the ladder and now has me hurting.  Should I even bother to buy allergy meds since the pollen season ends soon? 
5.      I can’t be the only one that gets annoyed by people who start eating chips in line at the sub shops.  I mean, are you that hungry that you can’t even wait to pay for them first?  Chew some gum to take your mind off it.
6.      Food for thought: If you made just ½ of 1% of what Alex Rodriguez is making this year you would be making $165,000.  That’s right .5%, just sick, especially since he’s a jackass and a Yankee.
7.      My mother was so happy that she had washed my nephew’s balls.  Of course she meant his toys he plays with, but it was still good for a laugh.
8.      I think its time to invest in some new gym shirts, wearing the same collection of 4 for nearly two years have left them impossible to get fully clean/fresh.  It’s not a good look, smell, or feeling.
9.      Got to bear witness to a crazy old man sitting in Subway talking out loud to nobody, it was even better when a crazy middle aged man showed up and tried to have a conversation with him.  Wow, it was like break time at the nut house.
10.  Highbank Bridge in Yarmouth has been worked on for so long I swear these people damage something else while they fix one thing just so they can milk the crazy money they get for holding their hands up to direct traffic.  Trained monkeys will do it cheaper you know?
11.  Wishing my brother Matt a happy 27th birthday, well it was yesterday but it took me 2 days to finish this.
12.  If you want a good laugh hit the Subway in Hyannis at the Exit 6 off ramp at night.  There is a guy who works there that literally sings your order to you.  If you can make it through your order without laughing you are better than me.  I sort of want to see someone try to piss him off to see if he’d sing angrily at the person.

May 31, 2010

1.      The fires in Quebec sent smoke all the way down to Cape Cod.  Early this morning it was like the apocalypse with a gray haze hanging over.  Falling flowers looked like ash, it was a surreal scene.
2.      Outside of the Marshside ended up being the end of the Memorial Day parade route.  Our lot was packed, people, marching bands, fire trucks, all hung out in the street.  Glad I worked early because some people were late because of it.
3.      Prediction: The Celtics will defeat the Lakers in 6 games, they are just plain tougher, the Lakers will try to match it but won’t be able to keep it up for an entire series.
4.      Happy Birthday to my niece Kaleigh who turns 11 years old today!  It makes me feel old just saying it.
5.      Ted Green, columnist for the LA Times wrote that Paul Pierce’s idea of a good time is going out clubbing and getting stabbed?!  Wow, just like hot blondes, jackasses grow on trees on the West Coast.
6.      Should have bought a greenish-yellow car so that the pollen would just blend in with it.
7.      Everybody that is in your life is there for a reason.  In mine there are some I wonder why, and there are others that I am hopeful are there for the reasons I am thinking they are.
8.      What could be worse than being on the highway and hearing that there is a six-mile backup waiting for you that is only going to get longer?  I believe that it’s there that the pain in the ass tourists pay their penance.
9.      Everybody should check out America: The Story of Us on History.  It’s my favorite subject but I think most people would enjoy seeing how we got to be what we are today.
10.   America is the king of the frivolous lawsuit.  Now a lady in Utah is suing Google for their directions on Google Maps.  She claims they led to her being struck by a car on a rural route with no sidewalks.  It’s called common sense lady, it’s free, you should use it often to avoid things like this.
11.   I keep wondering if Bret Michaels is living Final Destination right now.  I mean, was he supposed to be killed at some point and now death keeps sending hemorrhages, strokes, and heart conditions to finish the job?  Just wondering. 
12.   Now that I finally have all of the information I have been able to change my opinion on some things. 
13.   I have realized today that I am more afraid of beautiful girls than I am of grizzly bears, serial killers, flesh-eating bacteria, everything, is there a cure?
