Well, sounds like someone who you think's name is Tio is about to get his ass kicked

Work has been pretty slow. In some ways it’s a relief, because now I can relax a little bit, but it’s so frigging boring. I guess that explains why I’m updating this thing.

Next Thursday I’m flying out to Minnesota for Jackie’s wedding and I’m sort of freaking out, for many reasons. I haven’t been in a plane since September 7th, 2001, and I’m really not looking forward to it. I don’t have anything to wear and have no money to obtain fancy shmancy wedding garb. I can’t believe that my old best friend is actually getting married and making this huge adult step, while I’m over here dawdling until I can figure things out.
To me, becoming an adult is more of a mindset - putting obligations and responsibilities before your sanity, and relinquishing your sense of spontaneity in exchange for the dependable routine - but when people your age start getting married or having kids, you start to wonder when adulthood is going to capture you next. I’m hoping I dodge it for a while.

I just heard that Obama signed a ban stating that on September 1st, cloves and flavored cigarettes are going to become illegal. What the hell is that about? This ban can't happen; it's a violation of rights. Oh, flavored cigarettes are appealing to children? FUCK THE CHILDREN. I’m so tired of not being able to do/have things because of children, especially the children of today’s age. They are so goddamned lame. You can’t play dodge ball anymore, you might hurt Billy’s feelings and give him a psychological complex! Cloves can no longer be legally manufactured/smoked/sold because young Billy here might think it’s candy because it smells good and may become a smoker! Fuck that and fuck you, Billy, you're a stupid puss. Actually, now that I think about it, I shouldn’t have used “Billy” as a name for a modern child; it should have been like “Audio Science” or “Jupiter” or something equally nuts...but I digress. I say we start banning things from children...how about popsicles? Popsicles contain high fructose corn syrup (GASP!), sugar, and too many calories, which inevitably leads to diabetes and childhood obesity (since we need to assume no one has any sort of self-control) so instead of banning all popsicles completely, which would be un-American, let's just ban all of the delicious flavors that children seem to enjoy and let's leave them with just cherry. Now cherry is a perfectly fine flavor that many are content with, but you can't just eat cherry popsicles for the rest of your life. Sometimes, you want a grape one, dammit!
That may be a shitty comparison, but all I know is that I want a clove and a grape popsicle right now. Think of that combo, you'll start to want it too.
The ban starts September 1st. Looks like I need to make a trip to Delaware to properly say goodbye to my junior year of college.

I love caffeine-fueled disjointed posts, don't you?
