The Thoughtful Spot

Old People and newspapers

2007-12-20T10:45:00.000-05:00

Some people need to get a life. can you imagine, waiting on your porch, in your pajamas at 6 am for the newspaper to be delivered. we had a major snowstorm, roads were treacherous, and people were calling"my newspaper is late" gee, ya' think? whiners ....most of my customers are really quite understanding, cripes, some didn't get their sunday paper till monday. then i have a guy holding my holiday tip hostage, until he gets his paper by 7 am. better hold his bird while he is at it, i don't pay ransom, and i am not a tip whore. I don't get up everyday at 1am to sit and wait for my papers to be delivered to me sometimes not until 3:30 am, brave the counties worst roads, deal with idiots going to work, all so i can get a christmas tip from him. he puts far too much emphasis on the importance of his tip. he sent me a card with an attached note, saying he would be delighted(he is from buck hill) to send me a holiday gift when he starts getting his papers by 7 am. bite my ass pal, man this burns me up, intolerant moron. anything that can go wrong will....flat tires, papers given to me late because of a press breakdown, or going to press late because they can't print without the football scores, rain, snow, falling asleep and wrecking my car, son getting conked on the head with a beer bottle...you name it...nevermind that his fricken paper was there every day in good weather on time. I'd like to tell him to shove his tip up his peepee hole cause that would hurt( i imagine) far worse than up his hiney hole.

Murphy's Law

murphy's law, don't even get me started....it is the bane of the mcwilliams. tomorrow is my birthday, tomorrow is also the perigee of the moon, the moon is one of my favorite things to see, especially a full moon, would have been the best birthday present, will i get to see it, hell no...it is going to be cloudy. unless by some miracle the mass of clouds that covers the east coast from shore back to illinois dissappears.

Movies

2007-10-17T07:53:00.000-04:00

Seen any good movies lately? I have recently see Blades of Glory, very funny. Also watched a movie that I saw when we were younger, it really scared me when I was a kid, but it is still a good movie...Watership Down? Do you remember this one?

No gray Allowed

2007-10-12T16:41:00.000-04:00

It is what it is, i know my next post was supposed to on boredom, but this is it. No gray allowed simply means that I see things in all aspects of life as black and white, there is no gray area. Something can't be a little of one thing and a little of another, it is or it isn't. Specific examples are hard to come up with but I will try. This is a silly one, the toilet paper roll. The argument is over or under, i say over because that is the forward motion, whereas under is backward. It is my perception that forward motion to one can't be a backward motion to another. Forward is forward and backward is backward. Always. To me, everything has an opposite, a negative to a positive, if you will. Trust, is another good one...I feel you can either trust someone or you can't.
I suppose it is akin to binary thinking, which I have read is the wrong way to view the world, or life. But that is how i see it, all things in life are logical. You either have morals or you don't, you can't have some morals and be a criminal. You either have integrity or you don't. These are extreme examples. Even things that make no sense are viewed this way. it either makes sense or it doesn't. So, there you have it.

Smells

2007-10-01T12:50:00.000-04:00

Smells are quite possibly the best thing in the world. Well, mostly, I can think of a few smells that I would rather not smell. Such as, Andy and Mike after they eat cabbage and bows. Smells are memory invokers. For instance, apple pie, I remember my grandmother. Yesterday, I smelled a bottle of suave body wash, the scent was the same as a shampoo I used in high school, the memories flooded my brain. Dirt when it first gets wet, as it starts to rain, makes me remember Arizona. I love that smell. I could go on and on. But I won't. Tomorrow's post.....Boredom, we need to learn it.
