Thoughts of the Day: 2/12/09

Here are some random and unconnected thoughts that I have had today:

1. Hypothetically speaking, if our reality reflected that of the plot line of Nightmare on Elm St. why wouldn't we all just be speed addicts?  I recall an episode of The Simpsons where they spoof this story and the kids stay up late drinking coffee to avoid falling asleep.  As a coffee drinker myself I understand that caffeine has its limitations, so it seems it would not only be acceptable to be a tweaker but in fact encouraged and advantageous!  Speed probably stunts your growth but wouldn't you rather be alive, short and jittery than dead?  Some evolutionary pressures for you to think about on Darwin's b-day!

2. I kind of have a thing for Canadian girls, I've found.  I guess I find them kind of exotic.  I am like a pig sniffing out delicate truffles.  I saw a girl that I thought was cute and finally made it over to her for a chat and I found out she was Canadian.  I can seriously talk about the Quebecan separatist movement for hours as long as it is rolling of the tongue of a cute Canadian angel.  This is, of course, if they think the separatists are silly.  I think if I met someone who was actually seriously a separatist I would take a picture so I could show people that they actually do exist and aren't just stories made up by parents to make their children behave.  Maybe big-foot is a separatist?  It would certainly explain a lot.  Viva Québec!

3. It is kind of pathetic that I walk around where I work and I feel like one of the toughest people there.  Those of you that know me know that I am a sweet, sensitive young man who wouldn't hurt a fly, figuratively speaking of course.  This could also be related to how I feel when I wear my long-shoreman outfit.

4. Sirhan Sirhan, the man who assassinated R.F.K., was a fucking nut bar.  I looked him up because I was curious about what his motives for the shooting were.  His mom suggested that he, being Palestinian, felt personally wronged by Bobby's support of Israel during the 1967, 6-day War.  There is a link to some excerpts from his diary and I think he was just ill in the head.

5.  Someone at work was looking at clothes on the internet and said "Oh, I wish you could touch things on the internet like pull them out and try them on" and I thought for a moment...  Then I said "so do I".  I mean think of the possibilities!  Clothes would be the last thing on my mind.  With technology like that you would never need to leave the house!  Clothes would become obsolete.
