Smokin' in the boys room... So last night, I went to a "Build a Bear workshop" to buy my little angel a Tuxedo and some overalls for her favorite stuffed bear, Teddy...who is a cheap purple sparkly thing she won at a fair less than a year ago, and has latched onto like he's her best friend. While I was at Build-a-Bear, there was a pack, or troupe, or coven or whatever they call them, of Brownie Scouts there on some kind of fieldtrip that resulted in them getting their own bears. And it never once got on my nerves. The kids didn't upset me NEARLY as much as their vapid mothers, who sat around talking about shit that I don't remember, because it was so unimportant (But that I do remember made me want to punch them in the kidneys) standing around idly in all the traffic zones. Hello, Fat man trying to leave the store. Quit Re-arranging your ridiculously big Diaper bag and get the fuck out of my way. So yeah, a Haggle of pre-pubescent females didn't make me want to kill Jesus, so man I'm, like, totally changing and shit! And while I'm talking about hate, let me just spend a few moments discussing why human nature is so fucking stupid, and should be stopped. The complex where I work has a rule about not smoking near the doors. Well, people violate this rule because it's cold and rainy often here, and I wouldn't want to smoke out there either. So they have a rule that's ignored, and rarely enforced. So people smoke near the door. I don't blame them. But here's the problem...there's nowhere to snuff out their cigarettes, so they throw them in the flower-beds. So now we have a flowerbed that looks like an ashtray. So, let's put some ashtray's near the flowerpot, so people won't throw their butts in the flowerbed. They can't do that, because they have a rule about smoking near the doors. So there's no solution. The solution they'll come up with is to make the security guards brush the smokers away from the buildings. That'll last a week, and then the problem will happen again. They simply will not put ashtrays there, because to do so would be to admit they can't enforce the "No smoking near the building" rule. So instead of fixing this problem, both sides will simply keep up this game, and the flowerbed will look nasty. Of course, there's another solution...nasty fucking smokers, STOP LITTERING! But that won't happen...Because smokers are abrasive nasty people (Come on, you know it's true). So, it's an unending tug-of-war, and *I* have to look at a yucky flowerbed. Not that this really bothers me, I'm just saying, it's indicative of the "dug in heel" syndrome that just fucks our species over time and again...the sad part is this is the ENTIRE OPERATING PROCEDURE of our political system. I'm just mentioning this "cigarette butt" problem as a microcosm of a much bigger problem. I doubt the metaphor is working for you, though, huh? Blah, so what, it works for me. Also...apartment hunting SUCKS. Someone find me a nice house to rent cheap, and in a good school district? OK, Thanks.
