For as long as I can remember I've been getting in trouble for not conforming to the standards of the so-called civil society. Not criminal trouble or legal trouble. Just being talked to in the office of my principal, First Sergeant or civilian boss... a lot. I've come to the hard realization that I'm just not meant for this world. Obviously, there was some sort of cosmic screw up that put me in the wrong parallel universe or something. Nobody else seems to see things the same way I do. I find humor in situations that invite scorn from my peers. We get bombarded by terrible images on a daily basis and I'm not immune to the horror, but everytime a new disaster flashes across my screen the first thing that usually pops in my mind is, "Wow! That's gonna leave a mark." I've spent my entire life wondering if the rest of the world really believes the BS that comes out of their mouths and I'm no closer to the answer today. I try not to care, but contrary to what a lot of folks think I do have feelings. Day after day I get up and face a world knowing that somebody is gonna find what I think or say is offensive. That's a lot of stress, dude! I like fart jokes. I like s*xual innuendo. I like four letter words. Guess I'm the only one. Of course, for liking all these things I often get clumped in with all the other ills plaguing the world. Yep, s*xual predators, violent criminals, elected officials ain't got nothing on me 'cause this dirty mind is playing in the gutter. In the end, nothing to do but carry on, but damn! - sometimes I feel like it's me against the world. How 'bout you?
Today I decided to break out the mellow jams from the 70's. I'm probably the only guy that listens to this "S" anymore, but I still enjoy the hell out of it.

I was wondering if liking sushi was a prerequsite for women to register a profile online? Why? Because 9 out of 10 profiles I've read on online dating sites mention liking sushi in the favorites category. Thought it was interesting since never in all of my travels have I come across so many people that so loved the raw seafood. Well, maybe in Japan... But, anyway... Is Las Vegas a hotbed of ravenous sushi consumers or did I just stumble upon something more ominous, like "sushi" being a new code word in a conspiracy to overthrow all the fried fish advocates on the site? Or perhaps sushi love is an innocent, simple way to class up your profile? Anyway, enjoy your sushi out there. I've got bigger fish to FRY! Later...
Sometime in the course of my life I was told that the dots over lower case "i" and "j" are called tittles. Why?
Have you ever noticed that the most educated people at your job have the most trouble performing simple tasks like using the company e-mail or loading paper in the printer? Or is it just me?
Why do so many people with college degrees end up asking me for my high school level opinions or advice?
Why does complaining make me laugh and feel so good?
I've come to the conclusion that in life there are no stupid questions--just stupid people asking them. Including me! :)
