Shopping

Today I got a glimpse into why women like shopping. I went to the grocery store for snacks and chicken fries. I didn't care what kind of snack, could be chocolate chip cookies, nilla wafers, oreos, cheeze-its, whatever. I went down the snack isle, and saw double stuffed oroes, half off. So I got something I already wanted for less, and that is awesome.
I could correlate this to clothes shopping, if a girl goes into a mall wanting a shirt, and ends up finding one on sale, that's a good feeling. But I still don't condone shopping for no purpose.
AND, while at the store I heard a young African-American's thoughts on what is crazy about America. He said "You know what I don't get, what I really don't get? There are people starving in America." At this point, I am thinking, yeah, this guy has some depth, he is thinking about how we need to spread the wealth, and help those in need instead of hording money in the 1%, I can get where he is coming from.
But then, he continued with "There are deer and things just running around in the woods for free!"
And I cold barely contain myself from bursting out laughing.

Greetings that don't make sense

You are walking down a hall, and you see someone you sort of know. He says "What's up?", and you answer "Sup." That didn't answer the question. A question begs an answer, unlike a greeting such as "hi", or "yo". But people are so lazy that they give a pre-canned greeting response, even when it makes no sense at all.

For instance, someone says "how's it going", and you respond "not much". That makes no sense at all, you were expecting him to ask what's up, but he didn't. And you were too lazy to alter your response.

I don't really have a point, other than it's awkward and annoying. Pay attention to you greetings.

Angry Women

You know when a guy complains about his girlfriend being mad at him but not telling him why, and insisting she is not mad? Well its time to explain that.

She is mad, but she is not sure she is justified in being mad. She has some doubt, so she waits for you to justify her anger by apologizing. If you do, then she was right to be mad, and you proved it. If you cannot think of her reason for being mad, then she gets angry at herself for misinterpreting your intentions. OR, she goes to her friends who instantly, and thoughtlessly justify her anger, because that's what friends do. So after getting her dose of justification, she will expect that you do actually know what is bothering her, but you are too stubborn to admit it, out of fear she will get yet more angry. This angers her MORE, this is the point where the argument finally takes place, with her in the worst possible mindset.

How to avoid this:

...

umm

Don't let her talk to her friends, then maybe she won't get justification, and can listen to your side of the story objectively. Maybe.

Music Piracy

Is ripping a CD you bought onto your computer for the purpose of putting it on your mp3 player illegal? No.

Is giving away a CD for free to a random person illegal? No.

Is ripping a CD you found on the street onto your computer illegal? No.

Is sharing those files with strangers illegal? Yes. Why? You tell me.

(I know the word illegal is not quite right, but saying fine-able offense doesn't have the same ring to it)

When a bad memory is good.

Re-watching great shows, is an excellent example of when you don't want to remember everything. Knowing just the basic plot, and not the specif details to a great show you have seen really makes it a lot better the second time. That way you still get the excitement while watching.

So I only re-watch shows sparingly, like once every two years. This is the only time I would prefer to not have a better memory, and many hours of entertainment have been gained from that lack of memory. So drink up and forget the details of your favorite shows!

Stalking

Rule # 1, don't let them know you stalked them.

For instance, don't like their photo from before you met them, and not even comment on it, that's creepy. It is kind of like saying, "hey, I think you looked good when you were younger, so you should go out with me."

The little things

The best part about living alone are all the little things.

1. You don't have to close the door when you go to the bathroom

2. You clean whenever the hell you want to clean

3. You only get food you want

4. You never have to worry about someone waking you up, or waking someone else up

5. Privacy

6. No one judges you when you dance around, or sing

I'm sure there are a lot more, but those came off the top of my head, heck, maybe I will update this on eventually, who know?!
