Random Ramblings from the Sicky

I’ve been sick as a dog the last few days. Or more specifically, sick like my dog. Snotty, blurry-eyed, random-sneezing-so-hard-my-whole-body-hurts, and most importantly, sitting around with a blank stare on my face.

Luckily, I think I’m keeping my snaggle-tooth in my mouth.

With that said, I’m going to ramble a bit.

I think it’s always a good thing to know your virtues and limitations. For example, one of the things I’m terrible about is patience. I hate waiting. My biggest pet peeve are the words “we have to talk… but not right now.” Or “I don’t want to talk about it right now.” Or pretty much anything having to do with "talk", “not” and “right now”. This lack of patience gets exponentially worse when I’m sick and the little things really start to stand out.

For example, I remember when those Lance Armstrong Foundation armbands were novel and meant something. Now, everyone has them for every damn thing under the sun. Same with those magnetic ribbons on the back of cars. They started with the “Remember our Troops”, and "Breast Cancer" and now I just saw one for the Cardinals. I mean really... The Cardinals? I know they've been loosing a lot lately, but do they need thier own ribbon?

And speaking of things on the back of cars, it’s bad enough if you’re going to ghetto up your car by putting a bumper stick on it, but at least take the time to put that shit on straight. I saw a, “In God We Trust” bumper stick slapped on at a 30ish degree angle. At that point you’re not even trying.

And speaking of the “In God We Trust” is there any way of saying “I haven’t bothered to research any real information on my stance” then being able to sum up your political view with a bumper sticker? I don’t care what side of fence you’re on. If you can sum your opinion up with “Man + Woman = Marriage”, or something equally as *cough* clever, then you’re beliefs are as shallow as your wit.

Ok… well, I’ll ramble about more stuff later. Time to go take some more medication that my Pharmacist tells me I can make Meth out of. Weeeeee…

Man! I have been working on a rant about those damn ribbon stickers for about a week. I saw one the other day for spaying and neutering. I ripped it off and threw it under their car. I know that's uncool, but fuckers you don't need a ribbon for that! I guess I can can that blog! I'll have to stick to the blog about gross things people do in their car when they think you aren't looking...

Comprehend, understand, been there...thanks for sharing, I think. Misery does love company. I checked out your art on the link. Incredible. I've shared the link with several friends and would most likely attempt to buy a peice myself if I had not spent all my money on liquor and cigarettes. Hope you feel better soon.
