On office etiquette:
When you pass someone in the hall in an office you give a smile and say hello, neh? That's the way it should be. There is one guy at my office in particular who says hello when we pass, but gives an incredibly fake smile. I'm not talking "I'm taking a picture and I'm not really in the mood" kind of smile. It's more like a "You just made fun of me publicly, and I can't rebuke because of social situations, im going to #$%^ing kill you later" kind of smile. But it gets worse. Today I passed fake smiler #2 in the hallway. Instead of the fake smile, he gives the half-smile. I'm not talking Popeye half-smile. I'm talking like "Cant decide to go with ham or turkey on my sandwich" kind of smile. I'm not even sure it can be classified as a smile. You know, you don't have to smile. A simple greeting without the smile is better than your smiles. However, I'm still a fan of the pass, greet, and smile. It's so simple, even a monkey could do it.
On the state of the world:
You know who I'm pisses me off? Rapists and murderers. Not because of their heinous crimes against thier victims (although there is really no excuse for that either) but rather because they have ruined hitchhiking for me. How awesome would it be to gather up a bag full of stuff and head out onto the nearest road and hitch to some place hundreds of miles away? But nooo, $%#@ing rapists and murderers have placed everyone in a state of fear so they won't pick up hitchhikers. All rapist and murderers should have 3-5 years added onto their sentences for thier crimes against true hitchhikers. I think it might still be possible to hitch if you made sure you were clean cut and looked reputable. So, who wants to join me? I'm totally serious now. Take a week off of work, put on some nice khakis and a polo and see where our thumbs take us. How awesome would that be? Let's hitch to the grand canyon. Then lets hitch to NYC. Then down to Myrtle Beach. Hell, we can even make it a documentary and sell it to Mirimax. Coming next summer: Hitch America!
Wikihow say that, yes, even I can survive a freestyle rap battle.
And finally, this mosaic of all the men and women that have died in Iraq.
