Politics. Something I know pretty much nothing about. The House of Representatives, Parliament, log cabin, cherry tree, Oprah.. I don't know. I know I don't have equal rights. I know I can't have Jon's health insurance in the state of Ohio without lying to insurance companies. I know that the United States likes to bully other countries, so I am forced to care about ridiculous, stupid politics. I know I would probably care more if I had a 401k or stocks or worshiped Christ. Is there a way to opt out of America? Not that I hate it, I don't. Why does Canada have to be so cold, and Mexico so dirty? Sweden isn't taking new residents. I wouldn't either if I were Sweden. I would brush my silky blond hair and point and laugh at everyone, if I were Sweden.
You wonder if we'll all blow each other up over politics. Will that be how it ends? Either that or the earth will just eat us up or wash us away. The sun is burning out, you know. I just read something on CNN.com about how the sun is losing its heat spots. It's dying. Maybe that's why it was 60 degrees all July.
Anyway.
So, I went shopping the other day at the hipster haven known as American Apparel. I didn't buy anything. I decided I didn't want to support their ever-cheapening-ill-fitting-irregular clothing business. What happened? It's awful. So, they're sweatshop free? Then who's making these clothes, one eyed, one armed immigrants? Maybe they need a little child labor in China. At least they'd beat the child if it made a shirt with one sleeve bigger than the other. So I went to Target to look at tshirts. What a joke. Why is everything made for squatty, fat men with fat, stubby arms!? I'm not looking for clothes that fit me perfectly, but kind of would be nice. It got me thinking. President Obama should enforce some sort of clothing law where all clothes are to be made for healthy active sized persons. That way people have to not be fat asses or they won't get to wear clothes. They would be shamed into wearing moo moos. I think this is a great idea. They shouldn't be making shirts that fit over small buildings, it's only encouraging people.
Today I met with an advisor to discuss my future college classes, something I hate doing, seeing how the advisors don't really seem to know much about anything. I am sitting in the waiting area when I hear the conversation behind me.
Man one: "Hey, would you still talk to yo brother if he became gay?"
Man two: "Yeah, I guess."
Man one: "What? You'd talk to a gay guy?"
Man two: "Uh, yeah dude, he's my brother."
Man two: "That's fucked up. You'd talk to him if he became gay?"
Man three: "Yeah, dude. He'd probably know tons of chicks."
Man one: "Yeah, but he'd know way more dudes than chicks and the chicks he knows could be dudes. You could be all doin' it with some chick who'd be all like, I'm a dude. Dude, you can't trust gay guys."
Man two: "You wouldn't talk to your brother?"
Man one: "What!? Dude, that's fucked up. Fuck no, he'd prolly want to rape me."
I really wanted to turn around just to see how ugly he was.
Dinner time!

This is the greatest thing I have ever read. Sweden is laughing. Straight in our faces. Especially the ancestors of the people who left Sweden to live in Minnesota and North Dakota. They're like "remember when our average age of death was 92 and when yours was 68... oh wait, that's now... how about another tub of Count Chocula with whole milk."
Usually when I hear such convos as the one you describe, I make sure to give the evil eye. I've been told I give a good one. I hear you have a big one.
Is that something that really happened? some people are so dumb it is amazing to me that they do not drown in their own spit from forgetting to swallow.
