Just Wondering

Why people from Missouri insist on calling their state, Misoura? Don’t they know that makes them sound like bigger hicks then they already are?

How anyone could leave their house to go to work without bathing? It is simple common courtesy and professionalism. If you leave work un-bathed and you reported to me I would write you up.

How people can be so oblivious to others when they are fishing those 4 pennies out of their pocket just so they can get exact change from a cashier? This boils down to plain and simple rudeness. Get a change jar at home and dump it all in there and then cash it in at Christmas time. You’d be surprised how much accumulates.

Does anyone else get confused when asked the question what kind of music do you like? I never know how to answer a question like that because it is so general. I like a lot of different genres. So, from now on my answer to that question will be when is going to be, good.

Why anyone would bother showing up a baseball game in the 5^th inning only to leave in the 7^th? If you would rather sit at the bar and hit on trixies then by all means do that. Give your tickets to an actual baseball fan and don’t infect the rest of us with your unoriginality.

Am I the only one wasn’t surprised by the over reaction by the media about the swine flu? You just knew when you heard about it that the news networks would all be falling all over themselves to regurgitate the same information over and over without really telling you anything. The thing is I don’t blame the news networks, I blame you America. We seem to love sensationalism and nothing gets are red, white and blue, blood pumping like a good over blown non threat to distract us from our boring mundane lives.

Again, am I the only one who thinks that Rod Stewart is a spawn of Satan that was dispatched upon the earth to drive man crazy by infecting us with so much adult contemporary banality that one has no choice but to go on a Cunanan spree?

How people can live their whole lives and still not know that the left lane is for the faster drivers? It amazes me to be cruising along and then run across some old man in a hat that is doing 35 on the highway in the far left lane. Is it senility or just a complete disregard for your fellow man? I will never be surprised by the ineptitude of drivers on the road. If I said it once I will say it again, it is far too easy to obtain a drivers license.

How the anti gay marriage advocates can sleep at night? When I hear a valid non bigoted argument against gay marriage it will be a first. If your marriage is so fragile that the mere fact that two people of the same sex getting hitched sullies your bond well, then you have some serious problems. Quit using the word”traditional” when describing marriage. That is just a not so clever way of covering up your hate. Also, don’t stand behind the bible either. The bible advocates stoning disobedient children and if I remember correctly the last couple of chapters deal with this guy Jesus who seemed to be pretty welcoming.

Where the time went? I am going to be 40 in a little over a month. It seems like just yesterday I was driving in Dell’s Impala making a Nottingham Park Buddhist run followed up with a trip to Monk’s Castle and our biggest concern was if we could talk Dell’s brother into buying us a 15 pack of Stroh’s.
