Just in Case
Is it time to expose more about myself?
I’m a vegetarian. I like Nutela.
I confused Netflix by giving “Dude, Where’s My Car?” 5 stars. What can I say? It’s a modern Odyssey.
I pierced my left ear when I was in the army and my right ear a couple of years later, after the first ever “Reclaim the Streets” demonstration in London. These were both small acts of protest. I don’t wear earrings anymore.
I don’t get poetry. I don’t get opera. I don’t get young Republicans.
I overcame my fear of fire when I started smoking. I quit smoking for a year but now I smoke again. Smoking a cigarette after a long break is like peeing in a swimming pool. You know you shouldn't, but it feels so good.
I grew up near an airport, which gives me the ability to tune out loud noises and silly conversations about nothing.
Unless I die for someone else’s sins, I'll probably die one day for no good reason.
I’m too goddamn sensitive. I’m losing my energy.

Silly conversations are much worse than loud noises, but you're not wrong to equate the two in annoyance factors. Lucky!
For someone who does not 'Get' poetry, you write beautifully! Thanks for helping me with my blog. I look forward to reading more of yours!

I let my piercing grow over during basic training, when every DI in the Army made me do push-ups to prove I wasn't a "pussy."
HEY!!! SGT (place name nere)!!! COME OVER HERE AND LOOK AT THIS! PRIVATE ROGER HAS HOLES IN HIS EARS!!!
WHAT?!? ARE YOU SOME KIND OF A PUSSY, PRIVATE ROGER?!? GET DOWN AND DO SOME PUSH-UPS-OR ARE YOU SCARED YOU'LL SCRAPE YOUR TITTIES?!?
Attitudes were different in 1982, by all appearances.
Love "Dude, Where's My Car." 2 scenes: the waiting at the light/kiss OMG, and the chinese drive through "AND THEEEEEENN???" "No and then!"

Girl from L.A., I didn't think I was alone there. Another proof the Devil (in this case, Nestle) has all the good stuff.
Queenie, I remember guests coming over and having to stop talking for a few moments when the chimneys were being cleaned in the power station near the airport. It used to take me a while to realize what was bothering them. I didn't realize how helpful it would be when I grew up.
Don, thanks. (And good luck on the movie).
Jolly, titties were also more sensitive in '82. The army earring wasn't a big deal because the army had some kind of don't-ask-don't-tell policy about earrings as long as you covered them with a band aid (and as long as you only had the left ear covered with a band aid. If I pierced my right ear during the army I would have gotten the same reaction you got).
Scot, what about the Norwegians telling the monster, "I banish you to Hoboken, New Jersey"? I saw the movie about a week after visiting friends of friends in Hoboken, which I felt was indeed the worst place in the universe. So I felt a connection with the movie...
And Celia, your comment was really good written.
I too had the earings in both ears as my little rebellion. Ah those were the days. I'll never get young republicans either.
You had me at young Republicans.
Actually, you had me at Dude, Where's My Car, but you shut the place down with young Republicans.
Love your Blog. Why don’t you add AuctionAds by ebay

Interesting. Thanks for sharing. I also "don't get" the three things you don't get.
Ricardo, I'd like to think the meaning of cool changes along with me (or that I define it). It'll be horrible to find out I used to be cool and now I'm not.
durante, you had me at you had me.
What on Earth, I love the unintentional irony in your name, douche bag.
Tom, I used to be embarrassed about not getting poetry but I'm too old for that now. Maybe I'm missing something here, so I say I don't get it and it's my fault, but between me and you, there's nothing to get--A bunch of lines, some of them rhyme, there's a tree and sometimes a fish, someone's dead but he's not real, he's a METAPHOR, so I don't feel sorry for him, and then if you don't get the hidden message they tell you to read it twice more and surely you will. Screw poetry. Life's too short.
I say you are still cool and on the defining end of it as well as yours truly. We are both cool trend setters.
I know this was s'posed to be about you and all, but that's an adorable pup.
Ricardo, I know I know... Maybe now that I'm not cool anymore I'm becoming cool? Probably not. I still think my best days are yet to come, though.
Two Write, writing the blog is just an excuse to put pictures of the doggies up anyway.
"Smoking a cigarette after a long break is like peeing in a swimming pool. You know you shouldn't, but it feels so good." I've never been a smoker, but I love this line. It must also be like the first time you have unprotected sex with a lover. You know you shouldn't, but what the hell.
Neil, that's right. Life is short, why not make it shorter?
