On Various Matters

When I say that I intend to be really quick, it means I just want you to answer my question and let me get back to work.

It doesn't mean I don't like you. It doesn't mean that I don't care about what you did this weekend. But honestly, my memory is shit. I'll probably forget the answer to the question I asked before I get back to my cubicle. So give it to me hard and fast: yes or no; do it or don't; black, white, or "what the fuck?" - in short - 1) Answer the question, and 2) Shut your piehole.

Don't pretend you don't see this line.

Yes, that's right, the line you just sauntered past on your way to the just-opened self-service checkout lane at the grocery store. There's 12 people waiting in one line right between the two sets of checkout register and you don't think someone's waiting for the register you just pounced on? Your baby is not so cute that I want to let you check out ahead of me. [To top it all off, the woman whose brazen action prompted this response then stood in front of the register after she was done and showed off the kid to a woman at the next counter!]

Charlie Winston's album "Hobo" just became a must-have today.

You're only someone if you're seen on television
I would love to sit back and turn the whole world off

Cause I don't wanna be the victim of our culture
Giving money to a people I'm ashamed of
I'm happiest when reality is dreamed up
To socialize is to compromise myself

Welcome to a generation spent!
We're all dead and spent!

The Lego-boy in me especially appreciates:

As a child with ocean eyes I smiled
At a world existing just for me ;
Without boxes, borders or boundaries
I built dreams ;
But like plastic building blocks
They were knocked down to the ground
I grew up
To a world of compromise
Analyzing what it means to dream

I don't really wanna understand
Everything in my world
It spoils the fun for me
Come on darling you can take my hand
Blowing kisses in the wind
We'll fly away in our dreams
From the boxes they'll put us in

Who shall we propose to be ?
Who am I supposed to be ?
With these empty building blocks
I could make a thousand me's
