Current Mood: *Wink* & Amused

There most certainly is not a party in my tummy tonight.

“Try it, you’ll like it.”

“I like fish, I like fish!”

Sage advice all, sir, but no…

Whilst my fish dinner at the eating seemed to be a delite to my palate… that fish turned it’s tail on me.

Some gangland violence in my stomach and a third-world uprising in my esophagus but most assuredly not a party in my tummy.

Perhaps I should have told the fish not to bite his friends!  Or maybe my lovely piece of fishy met up with the tiny ugly germs.  I’m sure the morning will reveal that swimmer’s true nature.

For now, I must consume yet more antacid in hopes of some small relief.

Good night to you sir.

**AND A FOOTNOTE ‘THERE IS NO RETIREMENT   —  EVER!!!

Current Mood: Amused & Doh!

• Nothing sucks more than that moment during an argument when you realize you’re wrong.
• I don’t understand the  purpose of the line, “I don’t need to drink to have fun.” Great, no one does. But why start a fire with flint and
  sticks when they’ve invented the lighter?
•  Have you ever been walking down the street and realized that you’re going in the complete opposite direction of where you are supposed to be going? But instead of just turning a 180 and  walking back in the direction from which you came, you have to first do  something like
  check your watch or phone or make a grand arm gesture  and mutter to yourself to ensure that no one in the surrounding area  thinks you’re crazy by randomly switching directions on the  sidewalk.
• I totally take back  all those times I didn’t want to nap when I was younger.
• The  letters T and G are very close to each other on a keyboard.  This recently became all too apparent to me and consequently I will 
  never be ending a work email with the phrase “Regards” again.
• Do you remember when you were a kid, playing Nintendo and it wouldn’t work? You take the cartridge out, blow in it and that would 
  magically fix the problem. Every kid in America did that, but how did we all know how to fix the problem?  There was no internet or message  boards or FAQ’s. We just figured it out. Today’s kids are  soft.
• There is a great need for sarcasm font.
•  Sometimes,  I’ll watch a movie that I watched when I was younger and suddenly  realize I had no idea what the heck was going on when I first saw  it.
•  I think everyone has a movie that they love so much, it actually becomes stressful to watch it with other people. I’ll end up  wasting
  90 minutes shiftily glancing around to confirm that  everyone’s laughing at the right parts, then making sure I laugh just a  little
  bit harder (and a millisecond earlier) to prove that I’m still  the only one who really, really gets it.
• How the hell are you  supposed to fold a fitted sheet?
• I would rather try to carry 10  plastic grocery bags in each hand than take 2 trips to bring my  groceries in.
• I think part of a best friend’s job should be to immediately clear your computer history if you die.
• The only  time I look forward to a red light is when I’m trying to finish a  text.
• A recent study has shown that playing beer pong contributes to the spread of mono and the flu. Yeah, if you suck at it.
• Was learning cursive really necessary?
• Lol has gone from meaning,  “laugh out loud” to “I have nothing else to say”.
• I have a hard  time deciphering the fine line between boredom and hunger.
• Answering the same letter three times or more in a row on a  Scantron test is absolutely petrifying.
• My brother’s Municipal  League baseball team is named the Stepdads. Seeing as none of the guys  on the team are actual stepdads, I inquired about the name. He  explained, “Cuz we beat you, and you hate us.”  Classy, bro.
• Whenever someone says “I’m not book smart, but I’m street smart”, all I  hear is “I’m not real smart, but I’m imaginary smart”.
• How many  times is it appropriate to say “What?” before you just nod and smile  because you still didn’t hear what they said?
• Every time I have  to spell a word over the phone using ‘as in’ examples, I will  undoubtedly draw a blank and sound like a complete
  idiot. Today I had  to spell my boss’s last name to an attorney and said “Yes that’s G as  in…(10 second lapse)..ummm….Goonies”
• What would happen if I  hired two private investigators to follow each other?
• While  driving yesterday I saw a banana peel in the road and instinctively  swerved to avoid it….thanks Mario Kart.
• MapQuest really needs to  start their directions on #5.  Pretty sure I know how to get out of my  neighborhood.
• Obituaries would be a lot more interesting if they  told you how the person died.
• I find it hard to believe there are  actually people who get in the shower first and THEN turn on the  water.
• Shirts get dirty. Underwear gets dirty. Pants? Pants never get dirty, and you can wear them forever.
• I can’t remember the  last time I wasn’t at least kind of tired.
• Bad decisions make  good stories
• Whenever I’m Facebook stalking someone and I find  out that their profile is public I feel like a kid on Christmas morning  who just got
  the Red Ryder BB gun that I always wanted. 546 pictures?  Don’t mind if I do!
• Is it just me or do high school girls get  sluttier & sluttier every year?
• If Carmen San Diego and Waldo  ever got together, their offspring would probably just be completely  invisible.
• Why is it that during an ice-breaker, when the whole  room has to go around and say their name and where they are from, I get  so incredibly nervous? Like I know my name, I know where I’m from, this  shouldn’t be a problem….
• You never know when it will strike,  but there comes a moment at work when you’ve made up your mind that you  just aren’t doing anything productive for the rest of the day.
•  Can we all just agree to ignore whatever comes after DVDs? I don’t want  to have to restart my collection.
• There’s no worse feeling than  that millisecond you’re sure you are going to die after leaning your  chair back a little too far.
• I’m always slightly terrified when I  exit out of Word and it asks me if I want to save any changes to my ten  page research paper that I
  swear I did not make any changes  to.
• “Do not machine wash or tumble dry” means I will never wash this ever.
• I hate being the one with the remote in a room full of people watching TV. There’s so much pressure. ‘I love this show, but  will
  they judge me if I keep it on? I bet everyone is wishing we  weren’t watching this. It’s only a matter of time before they all get  up and
  leave the room. Will we still be friends after this?’
• I  hate when I just miss a call by the last ring (Hello? Hello?Damnit!),  but when I immediately call back, it rings nine times and
  goes to  voicemail. What’d you do after I didn’t answer? Drop the phone and run away?
• I hate leaving my house confident and looking good and then not seeing anyone of importance the entire day. What a waste.
•  When I meet a new girl, I’m terrified of mentioning something  she hasn’t already told me but that I have learned from some  light
  internet stalking.
• I like all of the music in my iTunes,  except when it’s on shuffle, then I like about one in every fifteen  songs in my iTunes.
• Why is a school zone 20 mph? That seems like  the optimal cruising speed for pedophiles…
• As a driver I  hate pedestrians, and as a pedestrian I hate drivers, but no matter  what the mode of transportation, I always hate cyclists.
•  Sometimes I’ll look down at my watch 3 consecutive times and still  not know what time it is.
• It should probably be called  Unplanned Parenthood…
• I keep some people’s phone numbers in my  phone just so I know not to answer when they call.
• I think  that if, years down the road when I’m trying to have a kid, I find out  that I’m sterile, most of my disappointment will stem from
  the fact  that I was not aware of my condition in college.
• Even if I knew  your social security number, I wouldn’t know what do to with it.
• Even under ideal conditions people have trouble locating their car keys  in a pocket, and Pinning the Tail on the Donkey – but I’d bet my
  ass  everyone can find and push the Snooze button from 3 feet away, in about  1.7 seconds, eyes closed, first time every time…
• My 4-year old  son asked me in the car the other day “Dad what would happen if you ran  over a ninja?” How the hell do I respond to that?
• It really  pisses me off when I want to read a story on CNN.com and the link takes  me to a video instead of text.
• I wonder if cops ever get pissed off at the fact that everyone they drive behind obeys the speed limit.
• I think the freezer deserves a light as well.
• I  disagree with Kay Jewelers. I would bet on any given Friday or Saturday  night more kisses begin with Miller Lites than Kay.
• The other night I ordered takeout, and when I looked in the bag, saw they had included four sets of plastic silverware. In other words,
  someone at  the restaurant packed my order, took a second to think about it, and  then estimated that there must be at least four people
  eating to require such a large amount of food. Too bad I was eating by myself.  There’s nothing like being made to feel like a fat bastard
  before dinner.
