Why My Hair Dont Grow No More

Here's a scenario, you go to a public bathroom to do your business, sit in the stall and the person in the next stall starts talking to you. How weird is that? Why do people do that? It's not really a proper conversation setting. Heck I dont really want to open my mouth in there cuz I dont want to inhale all the stuff people are, ya know, exhaling. Tell them to stop!

Okay, I used to be a cyclist, but they are really starting to tick me off now! One of these days I swear I'll run someone over because of their arrogant, self-righteous stupidity.

The other day one hit my car because he decided to bike down the sidewalk (illegal) on the opposite side, really fast. Then yesterday I was walking back with my kids on a sidewalk and two of them nearly hit my son because, again, they decided that sidewalk was for racing. But worst happened when I nearly ran two because they decided stop signs didn't apply to them!

You know the type who think they're above the law and zoom past stop sign and traffic lights as if road signs don't apply to them (they do). What the heck! If you're on a thin bike with tiny wheels and virtually no protection, shouldn't you be more careful than drivers in 2000 lb. cars, seat belts and airbags????? Let me spell it out for you thick head, waste-of-skin, science-experiment-gone-wrong morons: 2000lb. blobs of metal will always crush 150lb. flesh bodies. So obey traffic laws and ride more carefully than you drive, not less. Honestly, that thin little helmet isn't going to protect your head that's too stupid to figure out that cars facing green light may not realize you're dumb enough to break the light. May be I should have ran you two over to increase the collective IQ of this city.

For those riders who'll defend not having to follow a stop sign or a light, consider a car that stops to turn right. If you're coming from the direction I am turning to riding on a sidewalk, I wont see you when I turn. At least freaking slow down!

I've been trying to find cyclists on the road who actually follow road signs, and I honestly haven't seen one YET! If you dont like road laws, dont bike on roads. Go take a trail. Or campaign for laws to be changed.

Alright, I am glad I got that off my chest.

Isn't it strange that people treat those closest to them worst? Parents talk to their children in ways they would never talk to anyone else and spouses treat each other at times much worse than they would treat a colleague. Does getting close to someone mean losing the hesitation to disrespect or insult them? Or is it that we try to earn respect from strangers but take loved ones for granted?

Conundrum indeed.

Do bathtub people never take baths? How difficult can it possibly be to make a bathtub that doesn't require a post-bath surgery?

I bet the Masseuse Association pays the Bathtub Association.

So, I've been working like a dog this week. Someone raised a point, why like a dog? Ya know, I dont know!

'Working like a donkey', I understand. Those poor animals work hard. Cows work fields too in some countries. Slaves, ants, internal combustion engine, Oompa Loopma ... all I get. But when do dogs work? They truly have a good life. Even in countries where they are homeless, they don't really "work".

Or perhaps the expression is all wrong. Or may be *I* use it wrong. Perhaps I actually have been working like a donkey. Next time I am on vacation chilling out all day, I should tell people I've been 'working like a dog'.

So what came first: Chicken or the egg? This question has troubled philosophers for centuries. I solved the mystery!

Obviously, Chicken came first. Then came "or". Then came "the". And then came "egg".

Case closed!

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH...!

• So my son breaks my $1000+ HDTV LCD in January.
• Then I find out I won't be able to use some international tickets I booked for the family, costing me $800 to cancel them.
• Then I find out after paying $61,000 in federal + state income taxes (not a typo), I still owe another $3,500 in taxes! No, I am not filthy rich. I moved States and a lot of moving expenses my employer paid ended up on my W2 as "income". That pushed me into AMT, wiped out all these deductions I had and, well, I am screwed :).
• And then I sell my $2000 camera to replace it with something else and that money gets needed elsewhere, so poof goes my only hobby

AAAH! I know s*** happens, but does it all has to happen exactly at the same time???? I still haven't recovered from having to change the clutch in my car. My 401k balance is down in the toilet, bank account is down to double digits (gulp) and now I have to come up with funds to pay Uncle Sam some more. Great!
