completely stoned

I know I disappointed some people in the community a couple of months back when it was reported that I was going to movies and even watching some television shows while under no drug influence what so ever. Since the embarrassing incident I have been under the watchful eye of four top hippies and they have deemed me a complete and total stoner. You see, I discovered sobriety by accident when I couldn’t get a bag for over a week. I was just acting out when I was doing things without hitting a joint first. Sobriety was not a constant thing for me. I’ve been high for the past ninety days and that should prove to all those with doubts that I am a stoner. I do however admit to random acts of public decency, and hope that will not be held against me as I pursue my masters degree in psychology.

definitely not a rocket scientist

I’ve been in situations where I was embarrassed to tell people what I did for a living. In a way I am still normalizing the curve for my high school graduating class. At a ten year reunion with Supreme Court clerks and million dollar investment bankers there has to be a certain number of leasing agency receptionists. I don’t believe that my career makes me who I am, except when I have to say what it is I do out loud in another person’s presence. Oh, I know the anxiety I have surrounding the profession of my profession has to do with the fact that I’m not living up to my potential in my occupational choices. I also know that any job won’t sound right coming out of my mouth until I figure out where and how to best focus my energy. Until that time I can feel a little less self-conscious about telling people whatever it is I’m doing for a living. Because, while I’m not an astronaut, I never drove all night in diapers to stop a man I had a crush on from seeing another woman.

what once was old is new. again!

I recently sent someone I know an email of a comic I found on the net that reminded me of them. I know I’m not the first person to draw this parallel, but I felt like I had become a grandmother, cutting out news paper articles to hand on to family members who will appreciate neither the sentiment of the article or the thought behind the snipping. Maybe I should think of getting my grandmother internet access.

but it was on sale

On December twenty second we are reminded to keep the Christmas spirit all year round. My husband must have missed that message because today is he ever pissed about the credit card bill. Yes I took his card after he told me not to and bought some gifts for the family (and yes, some for my self) and now we are two thousand dollars in debt. But I just heard that we can consolidate that debt is we refinance our mortgage. Now all we have to do is buy a house!

tables turned on frat boys. and yes, I do call my country a... count

Have you seen Borat? There is a scene where he drinks with three fraternity brothers and the kids insinuate that, among other things, they believe in slavery

Now two of the brothers are suing 20th Century Fox saying:

“…that, by the time they were asked to sign waivers allowing their images to be used in the mockumentary, they were inebriated with alcohol provided for them by the film's crew.” -source E!online

They are mostly upset because those kinds of tactics are supposed to be employed only by the producers of Girls Gone Wild.
