Our Bodies Remember

If my body truly does remember everything that’s happened to it, I think this is what it would have to say:

“Laying in the warm sun feels nice. Cool breeze. Too bad you won’t remember it”

“The fall from the 3rd story window did not feel good. I don’t care if you thought that bush would break your fall – it didn’t”

“This is a new place to live but you’ve become a lot more conservative with me. You would find out that girl has smooth skin if you would only touch it”

“You were in a fight today but only your heart feels bad”

“You tried to run fast but there were others there who were faster”

“I feel like I’m building to something good but there are too many people around”

“Pressing through these crowded hallways reveals neither pain nor pleasure”

“That watch is too tight”

“It’s good to see you breaking out of your shell”

“Man, the foot is in pain but I know a tetanus shot will fix that discoloration”

“I am strong”

“5 more push-ups? Are you kidding me? No way”

“I can’t believe that, after everything we’ve been through, you still haven’t broken a bone”

“I hate being sick”

“We need to go for more walks”

“I tried to serve you well but you’ve treated my heart like crap”

“It’s like any other day. You just get up and do your chores like normal”

“I know it’s hard and not something you want to do, but get up!”

Top 10 Cartoon Duo's

This time out the subject is Top 10 Cartoon Duo’s. I was only going to make this a Top 5 list but I had so many entries to work with, I added the last 5. Here’s the list is no particular order – wait, that’s not right… 10. Ren & Stimpy: Call this entry the ‘Odd Couple’ of the group. A cat and a dog (I think) living together and making their way despite their obvious instincts to be sworn enemies. I have to admit that this cartoon was hard to watch sometimes because of the ‘gross’ nature of both characters – pooping and boogers a big part of the vernacular. “Oh, Re-e-e-n?”, “Yes, Stimpy!” 9. Inspector Gadget & Penny: An uncle and his niece go around solving crimes against Dr. Claw. It was actually Gadget and his dog, Brain, that tried to solve the crimes and Penny that actually solved them. She would tell Brain the solution and that crazy dog would expend a great deal of energy trying to make the Inspector understand the solution. Finally, when Inspector Gadget would ‘stumble...

Lunch with a side of awkward

Last week I was sitting in my office wondering what to eat for lunch since I didn’t bring anything to eat. I happened to be in our break room and saw a collection of restaurant menus and began thumbing through them for suggestions. I came across a place that I had heard of but had never been to, so I decided to go there – mostly because of how close it was to the office. I walked in and looked around. The place was empty. There was a table of 4 ladies in the corner who looked like your basic bridge-playing women. Sitting in the booth next to them was another couple that looked like they were wrapping things up in order to leave. Finally a server appeared and seated me at a table across the aisle from the foursome. By then, the other couple had left. As I looked around, I noticed a lot of the place was made of or covered in wood. It’s the kind of a place you might find overlooking a body of water, but all that was outside this place was a parking lot. The server was tall, thin, dark hai...

Buried Anger

Earlier this week, I came to the realization that I have some anger issues. I’ll bet you can’t tell what I’m angry about? If you said ‘my job’, you’d be wrong. If you said ‘money’ that would be strike 2. You know what I’m really angry towards – women. Yes, I realize this is not a new subject but I think I’m getting to the core of the problem. Let me explain: At work, we recently hired a young lady for our Customer Service department. She’s a total hottie with an incredible body – very nice to look at. I’ll admit she’s probably a little young for me but, for whatever reason, I feel anger towards her whenever I see her. It’s almost unfair. Okay, so I have to deal with that… fine. Then one of our shipping guys gets a visitor from some shipping company – total knockout. I almost gasped when I saw her. He’s an older guy (older than me) and been married with kids for a long time and he probably doesn’t even think about her ‘in that way’. Again, I feel anger towards this woman and I don’t eve...
