FW: Nobody Cares

I just read a fowarded email thing that is supposed to promote patriotism, and the very last sentence was (no lie), "if you don't send this, you have no soul."

People are really going to great lengths to get/guilt people into fowarding emails to everyone in their address book. I won't be suprised when I get one that reads, "if you don't send this, you're ugly and no one likes you," or "if you don't send this, you should just go ahead and kill yourself to get it over with because your life is meaningless and you don't believe nor stand for anything, so why should you even be allowed to breath the same air as those who fought in Vietnam, or flew a fighter jet in WWI, or saved lives on 9/11, or gave their meager life savings to help some old guy on the street. You worthless waste of space."

Just you wait.

Trust Me

Listen to Sigur Rós. Holy crap.

Harmful When Swallowed

A couple days ago, I made some raspberry Kool-Aid. It's the super awesome clear kind that Windy wanted to get because she "likes drinks that are clear." After making an unfunny quip about Crystal Pepsi, I made the Kool-Aid and poured a glass while having flashbacks of Michael Jordan and Pogo Balls.

Today, I thought I would have another glass. "Hmmm...this is quite tasty," I thought as the sweet liquid engulfed my parched mouth. I finished that particular glass and set it aside on the counter, lest I had another urge to sooth my sweet tooth. Sure enough, as I was passing by the refrigerator without any direct intention of having more L'Aid, I reached in and grabbed the pitcher and poured more into my happy glass sitting patiently on the counter. I drank it down, set aside my glass, and all was well.

After moving some empty boxes into the attic space, I began to feel quite thirsty from all of my hard labor. And so, a few minutes ago, I poured another glass. Now, I didn't just toss it back. No. I wanted to enjoy the taste of clear raspberry. And although I should have had a tall glass of water right before going to bed, I was comforted knowing that I could pretend it was water. It was only right after I finished the drink that I noticed that the entire glass was covered with ants.

Needless to say, ants can and will climb one's esophagus when they have been swallowed. FYI.
