An Observation

One thing that really annoys me, and I'm probably guilty of this, is people who make stupid comments and then defend themselves by saying "I was trying to be clever," or "I was trying to be witty," or "I was trying to be ironic," and so on. How do you try to be clever? Aren't you just clever? In my opinion you are either clever or you're not, there is no trying to be clever. Therefore people who are not clever should not try to be clever. This would save them the embarrassment of failing and showing the world that they are unclever.

Writing this post means...

...I've done more blog posts in 2011 than 2010. For the last two days I've been referring to last year as 2009, and it's not because I think it's still 2010 either. I think it's because I have lost all track of time and space. Though I look up and I see space, but I look around and I don't see a lot of space, but that all depends on where I am. I'm watching Sunshine Cleaning right now and the guy who is playing the used car salesman is the actor who played the father is Breaking Away, in that movie he was played used car salesman as well. I wonder if they cast him in this part because of that. I should look for his name, but really who cares, that would be more work than I am willing to do.

On Saturday I thought it would be a good idea to take a bath, and afterwards I realized that it was probably the worst idea I've ever had. I fill up the bathtub and get in, and, of course, right away I have to pee. I'm not about to pee in the tub and soak in my own urine for thirty minutes or so. So I get out, dry off, pee, and get back in. I'm already starting to get cold, and about a minute later I feel like I have to pee again. I just try and hold it. I kept my hands dry so I could read a book, but all I could think about was how cold I was getting, and that I had to pee. So I gave up and got out after about five minutes. Afterwards I was cold for like an hour. So it didn't even take me a day to break my New Year's resolution of no stupid ideas. I think I should change it to fewer stupid ideas, but even if I had one hundred stupid ideas it would still be fewer.

Playing a game that is not fun.

Every day I find myself playing games that are not fun. I don't play these games voluntarily, I just find myself playing them. Today I played the awful game of "what's that on the toilet seat?" This game is definitely not fun. In public I usually just go find another toilet because even if I pile up three hundred sheets of toilet paper I can't help but feel that the bizarre stain is still going to infect me (I'm pretty sure stains are not infectious). The game is even worse when you play it at home because if you don't live alone you have to not only play the what's that part, but the who did it part. My biggest fear is that it was me, though I always try to check to make sure I leave it spotless, I have a weird paranoia about things like that. The game is not always easy to play, today's thing was in a very odd spot. Other games that are not fun that I have played include: what's that on the floor, who made that noise, why do I sweat so much, where did this blood stain come from, what day is it, and, my least favorite, is that water or urine.
