Flip Flops, The Bane of My Existence

Why why why why?!!!

I happen to work in a pretty darn cold office. In the mornings it's about 45 degrees outside. Afternoons might reach 75. My co worker is going to drive me insane! There is no reason anyone should wear flip flops to work unless they are a lifeguard. Especially in an office situation. That noise is just unbearable. Flip-flop-flip-flop...over and over. Notice how this blog entry is getting repetitive, this is the noise that has been going on in my brain ALL SUMMER LONG. And its not just my coworker. Everywhere I go I hear them.

Possibly worse than work is while I'm trying to take a nice quiet walk in the woods. First of all, do people lack so much consideration that the idea of someone going to the middle of nowhere to get some peace and quiet in this ridiculously noisy world is totally foreign? Also, why on earth would one want to have thier essentially bare feet in the woods? Bugs, snakes, dirt, trees, poison ivy, and all the other fun things that come with being away from civilization. Heavens forbid you come across a mountain lion and step on something sharp. That knee jerk reaction of pain will turn you into kitty food. So let me have my quiet. Please.

I see no need to wear these ghastly things outside of the house unless you are taking out the garbage. There are plenty of sandals and other airy shoes for those who want to keep things as cool as possible during the summer. Please America and beyond...find these. Not many people will tell you to get rid of the flip flops, but most are thinking it.

Shopping Rant

Today class, we are going to discuss the lack of consideration one has the absolute SECOND they walk through the shop door.

Today I went to Kmart for a few things super quick. No sooner did I open the door, did I have to stop walking. A woman, her husband, and three rugrats were just standing there. Looking around like they just stepped into a majestic forest with a bit of the "durrrr" look on their faces. I have to ask myself why. Why are they stopping there? They know what they are there for, and even if they had never stepped foot in this particular store, their items aren't going to appear out of the clear blue sky. To find them, they have to look. Does it really take 30 seconds of letting people pile up behind them to figure out "Well hot damn, I guess I'll go find the medicine isle for them anti-stupid pills". But the stupidity is only part of what angers me about these loofah heads, it's the inconsideration. There is just not one ounce of thought that other people are walking into the store and others don't want to stand there and wait for them to figure out the meaning of life.

I eventually got in Kmart, found my stuff within a few mins, stood in line for 10 mins, went to leave, and had to wait at the door for the next Family O'Brains to decided they would walk AROUND the store.

Finally, A Sane Animal Group

These people appear to be really amazing. They look to alternatives for animal testing, education, and so forth. I'm not seeing any of the shock and awe tactics like PETA uses. Just smart people that care about animals and think outside the box. Yay for groups like this!!!

Also, thier cruelty free shopping guide is priceless!

Lots O Thoughts

Yankees win!!! Woo hoo :D A Rod has apparently reverted back to his normal playoff self. But at least we have Jeter, Matsui, Cano, Posada, and even Melky to pick up the slack! But regardless, I dont care who, what, where, when, why, or how, I just love the NYY win!!!

Got invited to a drag contest for tomorrow. Havent been in ages to a drag anything. Should be fun if I can make it. Gonna do some pumpkin carving at the parents house first.

Work, dont wanna go. How fun it will be to sit at my desk and get angry reading the news. I will make a whole blog on what I think of the MSM one of these days.

Rusty and Darla (the cats) are being awfully quiet. Odd.

Flu Shots. Do yourselves all a favor and skip out on them and start taking vitamin D. They are packed full of mercury and anti freeze. Unless you think your body celebrates such things, I suggest taking a different route.

Welcome To My Mind

Watching the World Series, Yankees are leading. Have a beer and one cat outside and the other sleeping. The scorpion is doing arthropod type things. Yay, Posada just got us an RBI!!! All is well in the world.

So what made me start a blog? Well, I have a lot to say in the form of ideas, questions, and opinions. Everything from sports, to politics, to science, to what your favorite fork is. Long story short, a centralized place for all this randomness is just what I, and possibly you, need. Let the games begin!
