Random Thoughts XVII

1. What's up with Michael J. Fox? I remember like 12 years ago he came out and said he was dying. Now I am all for him living and being healthy, but I am pretty sure he used his impending death as the reason he was quitting show business. Then he starting coming out with a few movies and promotions and such. Plus I just recently saw him at the Canadian Olympics...so did I miss something here, because I am pretty sure you can't say that you are quitting because you are going to die really soon and then just keep going after 12 years without mentioning it really again.

2. I am so pissed that national emblems are chosen by Congress. Like the country's animal, flower, tree etc. First of all, can Congress do something useful with their time. No wonder we never get anything passed. Second of all, I feel like the American people need to be deciding these things. What the hell do some old geezers know about these things. This is ridiculous.

3. I have this girl in my Statistics class that does not bring a water bottle to class. She brings a fricking GALLON OF WATER...AND she sits there and drinks out of it like trash. I am sorry, but there are limits to abusing etiquette in public, and this is not one that can be up for an exemption.

4. I was in Wal-Mart the other day, and of course every trip to Wal-Mart results in a spectacle of seeing how ridiculously trashy and stupid people can be. This little kid was carrying around a box of some kids toothpaste. The Mom kept yelling at him to put it back. He didn't...so what did she do? She kicked him, and after he fell she continued to kick him. No of course she was not full on roundhousing the little boy, but who the fuck kicks their child?! Not to mention in public, and then proceeds to continue to kick him even after he falls!

5. I was on my daily walk the other day, and I noticed a very near chirping. Much to my surprise, I found birds living in a tire of a old car! It did not look like it had been moved much, but they had a nest and eggs and everything. Those little buggers think they are so clever, but I just felt bad when that person moves his car the next time. Two days later, the car was not there anymore...the world may never know what happened to those daring little devils.

6. Two weeks ago, I was at an Indian restaurant, and I went to use the restroom. Indians are always doing weird things that fellow Indians do not even understand. I go into the bathroom to pee, and there is fucking ice in the urinal! I have never seen this before, and I am still just flabbergasted. Apparently my people think the urinals are just another drain to put things in. Oh gosh...

7. I hate when something costs like $4.06, and all you have are four ones and a 20. You are so close to saving that twenty, yet you know the cashier will never let you get by. Even so, you give the cashier that pleading look for a moment, only to finally give up and hand over your precious 20. Sad day.

  2. I randomly stumbled upon your blog. Your blogs are quite interesting to read, but it always seems like you think a lot. Nothing wrong with it, but not everything should be taken seriously in life at all times, such as friends!! Don't live life for ek pal, live it in every pal!

  3. Some of the many reasons restaurants will actively put ice in the urinals:

    Cold air sinks, keeping the smell of urine from emanating away from the urinal.

    As the ice melts, it acts as a slow, continuous flush of the urinal.

    The cold keeps flies from hanging around in the toilets.

    A fun target to keep people from missing the urinal altogether (especially useful at bars or clubs).
