Fucking goddamnit. What is it? What did I say? Was it because I made a "Your Mom" joke? Do you actually take those seriously? It was a
completely random sentence construction. It didn\'t even make sense!
Thank you for signing out after I asked if I pushed the envelope. That
makes me feel great, and that will definitely help me figure out what
not to say next time. Nothing aids my telepathic powers like guilty
ambiguity.

What is it about people that are insecure, that proceed to talk about a
perfect stranger when that person is in earshot?! I guess because I do
take care of my body and mind, and am confident in my own skin in a
bikini, and enjoy sweatin' it out as I nap by the pool, listening to
my own music, that it's somehow not acceptable for me to ignore a
group of 20-somethings that would like me to reward their recant of
drunken nights from the weekend, with a grin or supportive chuckle.
Sorry. I'm enjoying the moment of solitude and lovliness just laying
by the pool, owing nothing to the world right now. Why do you care
what I do????

GAH.
You are so perfect in every way and you still complain! You have everything!
I wish you would just open your eyes and realise that things could be
much worse then they are. And when things do go bad for you it's
because of your own fault! Stop fucking looking for sympathy when you
bring these things upon yourself.
Stay away from my friends! Stop hanging out with them behind my back. I
have trouble enough trying to fit in with them, I don't need you to
just come along and then suddenly I am invisible to them. This may
sound childish btu it really does hurt me and I wish you would just
back off a little. My friends don't even invite me out anymore instead
they insist on hanging out with you. You live fucking down the road, MY
friends were in the area and instead they decide to go visit you and
completely ignore my existence!!!
You don't know that I feel like this. I wish you did. I just want you to understand. You perfect ignorant bitch.
fucking jealousey.

I feel bad for you. Your glorious sexy boyfriend still contacts me,
even when I've tried everything short of taking out a restraining
order to get him to stop. I don't respond -- he still contacts me. I
rip him a new asshole and tell him to STOP FUCKING CALLING ME -- he
still contacts me. Leaves me voicemails at work at all hours of the
fucking night, sends me mp3s of his shitty music that he works up on
his 4-track in his living room. You don't know about any of this. He
doesn't think that his contacting me "just to see how I'm doing" is
being disrespectful to you. You also probably don't know that when he
went out to visit you that first time, he called me before he left, and
he called me while he was out there (presumably while you were in the
shower or otherwise indisposed). Maybe you're the sort who'd be okay
with this, if you knew. This morning there were two more messages for
me. I am growing more and more tempted to look up your number, call
you and let you know that this is going on, and has been going on for
MONTHS. You are going out with a knuckle-dragging, disrespectful,
lying asshole. Yes, he's a liar. Because lying by omission is still
lying. Run like hell, lady. He'll eventually move out there to be
with you, and you will eventually figure out what a dicknail he is.

This has bugged me since I was a kid. Why do hot dogs come in a ten pack, while their buns come in an 8 pack? I am sure every ordinary American has noticed this. You go to the grocery store, and you grab your 10 hot dogs. Then you walk over to the buns, and grab…one (8 buns) or two (16 buns) bags. Huge dilemma. Then at home, one of two disasters strikes. One, you want a second hot dog and you feel lucky to find one, but there are no more buns. Two, at the end of a barbeque, you want another hotdog, but you are left with 6 unused buns.
Is there some kind of rhyme and reason to this? Is there a conflict between butchers and bakers? Has no one noticed? Is this some kind of corporate decision where they can sell more dogs or buns, because this makes people waste food?
Hot Dog and Bun Ratio needs some rebalancing!

We all know
that the fashion is constantly changing and “created” by few people in the
world. Influential designers, models, or
celebrities can all create “fashion” by simply introducing them to the world
and claiming (“defining”) that is the new fashion.
This is
commonsense…I know…but there are certain things out there that just look like
they are made into fashion as a “dare”, “just to prove a point”, or even a
“mistake.” Think these examples:
Dolce to
Gabbana: “Dude, look at what I found in my parents’ garage. My pants from when I was 7 years old. I dare you if we put this in our next show,
women all over the world will wear them even though they are too short and
small. Let’s call them ‘Capri’, so it sounds hip.”
What about
Brad Pitt getting to a hotel before a black-tie dinner and saying: “Dang
it. I forgot to pack my socks. I guess I will wear my suit without socks. I am sure no one will notice.”
This is a
fun exercise. I am sure you can come up
with something for those gigantic sunglasses, bell bottoms, shaving the head
thing, low-cut jeans, those women’s dresses that look like maternity clothes
(flare out under the breasts), pilot goggles, indoor sunglasses, “grills”, etc.

I have
always wondered. Why is it a big deal
for the waiter to recite the specials from memory? It is “the thing”, right? It is a custom? Is it expected of them to?
Are waiters in general expected to do that? (I don't expect them to.) Are the restaurants
requiring them to do that? (I'm thinking yes.) Am I supposed
to be impressed with that? (If so, I want to be impressed by good service and good meal.) I just don’t
get “why” they do that, because…well, I just don’t see why it’s a big deal.
I think I’d
rather skip the uncomfortable silences when the wait staff messes up or forgets
the specials. I’d rather have the
special read to me in the correct manner.
I am allergic to some stuff, and I’d rather know with accuracy
what the specials are.
Don’t let
me get started on memorizing the order they take…
PS. One time, this waitress read this very long specials list from memory, in perfect manner, and in one breath, and we all cheered and clapped. That was impressive and fun, but I am still not sure if this is expected of the waiters. Anyone know?

I guess I just don't get it. I get the whole idea of going out after a day of skiing and getting plastered, dancing, or whatever else you want to do. But why on earth do we have to use the french language to express this? Is English not descriptive enough? "After Skiing" or "Post Ski" doesn't do the job?
Or were the French the first to think of going out after a hard day of skiing? Were English-speaking peoples sitting around post-ski playing solitaire when some guy named Jaques came in one day and showed them how to party? ("Gee, why didn't we think of this?")
I know it's a stupid thing to be ranting about, but it irks me because it sounds so damned pretentious when people say it. Get real, people!

Isn't "Boneless Ribs" kind of an oxymoron? I thought the rib was the bone.
More importantly, what's the fun of eating ribs without bones in them? The most satisfying thing about eating ribs is the pile of picked-clean bones on your plate at the end

I love tipping for great service. It's really a good feeling, if I feel that the person in question really went above and beyond the call of duty and deserves an extra "thanks."
However, I hate having to tip for any other reason. Especially when it's one of those tips that you are expected to give someone just for getting out of bed that day and doing their job.
A few examples off the top of my head:
* Restaurants. Generally, the idea that a 15% minimum tip is a de facto requirement at a restaurant seems totally backwards to me. Of course, I tip, and I tip quite generously when deserved, because I know that servers rely on it for their income. But it is a sucky system. And the blame for this one lies squarely on the shoulders of management. After all, they are the ones who are ...
