Words Indeed

Homer: Oh man that church service was sooooo boring! I did a whole book of find-a-word.

Lisa: Ugh, dad all you circled were the I's and A's!

Homer: Those are words.

Twilight Zone

It’s a lot like touching a hot stove. The next time you touch a hot stove it doesn’t burn you.

-Stephen Colbert

No Soup For You!

It's another one of those gloomy autumn days, well by SoCal standards anyway, a bit brisk and cloudy, depressing the living daylights out of me. Even surrounded by my co-workers I feel completely isolated. I can't decipher exactly how these days shine a spotlight on my loneliness, but I feel utterly abandoned. I'm sure the impending weekend doesn't help matters much, not to mention the latest conversation aborted by the five o'clock curfew. It's a kind of day that makes me crave a comforting soup, one I sip curled up under a blanket and in the soothing embrace of my beloved.

Praise the Lord!

Michael: Do I need to be liked? Absolutely not. I like to be liked. I enjoy being liked. I have to be liked. But it’s not like this compulsive need to be liked, like my need to be praised.

Creed: I’ve been involved in a number of cults, both as a leader and a follower. You have more fun as a follower. But you make more money as a leader.

It Wasn't the Outcome We Had Hoped for

And as a man, you don't really gotta talk. You gotta just act like you're talking.

“Get out of here. Go on! I don't believe it...

“You don't say! Really? Get out of here...

“Go on. I don't believe it. You don't say? Get out of here...

“I told you that bitch crazy!”

You gotta throw in, “I told you that bitch crazy”, you know why? 'Cause every woman's got another woman at her job that she can't stand.

Women, y'all exaggerate everything. You turn it into some Dynasty shit, like:
“She's trying to destroy me!''

What the fuck are you talking about? You wrap up bags at J.C. Penney's! What's she doing, ripping up your paper?

Six Cars and a Motorcycle

As I sit in front my flat screen and the reach for yet another paper wrapped Mexican treat, I can't help but be reminded of that decree. One for each day of the week, I'd say. Now I didn't literally think that would happen, but it never dawned on me that I'd spend my Sundays alone watching men with lives play a game while I reach for my next paper wrapped taco.

Rejection

I can't summon the recall of the last time I rejected.

On Second Thought...

Throughout my life I've resided in many a fantasy world. My current extra terrestrial home is one in which she pines for me as often and as intensely as I for her. One where the daily Solomonic decision to return "home" is a chore of Herculean proportions. But soon this journey, too, shall predictably come to a screeching, gut-wrenching, and jarring halt.

Sunny

On the bright side, one day I shall cease to exist.

To Have and to Hold

After a time, you may find that 'having' is not so pleasing a thing, after all, as 'wanting.' It is not logical, but it is often true.

Fatigue

It's ok Homie, you're probably just tired from not doing anything all day.
