I
think we’ve moved into the era of cultural suffocation from media
oversaturation and overkill. The muchtoomuchness of it all.
Dumb
debate whether “thug” is racial code word. It’s not. Refers to brutes
generally. Here’s its Indian etymology (http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thuggee )
Suffering
fools gladly. Have they invented a painkiller to help with the “suffering” side
& hallucinogen to trick us into the “gladly” part?
Clerk
at the drugstore mentioned something about May weather. I said yeah it’s nice
out there. He said I hope he beats Pacquiao. I said oh.
Hey
Verizon, about that commercial where “nerds” geek out over “modem.” Please
observe the distinctions between nerds and clueless morons
It’s
important when lifting weights to breathe calmly & avoid screaming grunting
groaning and making stupid faces. What can U lift casually?
