that contradicted my expectations!

I pulled into my parking space morning, right next to another woman who had just pulled in. As I get my shit together, I look over. She is still in her car. It’s an older black lady, with beautiful steel grey dreds neatly pulled back. Beautiful (hand made?) african-type garment on. And she is GROOOVIN’ to whatever music she is listening to. She is swaying her head side to side, she’s got the arm motions going, a BIG smile on her face. Whatever she is listening to must be AWESOME.

Do you have a menal “ear” of what kind of music she might be listening to?

Good. So did I.

I get out of my car - she’s got her stereo BLAZING…but…wait…umm…who is that singing? It’s mellow and smooth…NOT at all what I was expecting.
I walk over to her when she sees me staring. “i want to listen to what YOU’RE listening to, you seem like you’re in a GREAT mood!”

Her smile gets even bigger, as she continues to get her groove on. “It’s JAMES TAYLOR! I LOVE me some James Taylor!”

whoa.

awesome.

Wanna waste some time with something creepy?

super creepy. but I dare you to STOP reading once you start.

It’s people one myspace who have died. were killed, committed suicide. One guy is even on there because he murdered someone.
uber creepy.

experiment gone horribly wrong

if you happened to be at a fast food establishment where you were able to fill your own drink at the soda fountain, and while you were filling your large cup with the diet pop of choice, while bemoaning the lack of CHERRY flavored diet pop in fountain form at said establishment, you noticed that the fountain also contained a tap of a sweetened strawberry beverage. You might have thought that adding a shot of this strawberry flavored beverage to the aforementioned diet pop might taste something like the unavailable premixed cherry flavored diet pop.

you would have thought wrong.

very, very wrong.

conversations in the lab

Dear Target,

Recently, I purchased a Target Brand product.  A dental floss, actually.  “Compare to Glide,” the package informed me.  And sweet!  It was a dollar cheaper.

Allow me to inform you that your product SUCKS.  It is NOTHING like Glide.  Your floss is thin, THREAD thin.  And barely waxed.  It does NOT “glide” through my teeth.  It SNAGS on EVERY SINGLE ONE of them.  I think I almost yanked out a filling several times.  Yeouch.

Your floss is inferior.  Please REMOVE “compare to Glide” and replace it with “compareD to Glide, this floss SUCKS.”

I bought the real product, which is WAY better and worth the extra buck.  I will never buy your crappy, knock off brand again.

Thanks for your time.
