Depending on my mood, energy, and other factors, my “walk” can vary. Sometimes people ask me why I’m limping. I wouldn’t call my limp-walk a pimp-swagger, but whatever.
I just think it’s funny sometimes to observe these mofos who consciously decide to do the whole limp-walk pimp-swagger. Is that really your swagger, or are you injured?
Funny? [...]
Unless one is a douche bag, I would say that guys who often wear their baseball cap backwards have sort of a chill, laid-back mentality —- “cool” and comfortable if you will. (I sometimes wear my cap backwards hehe).
Keep in mind that there’s no activity that’s more lax/chill than well, laying down.
Sometimes I’ll be on [...]
Maybe this is more of an L.A. thing, but then again, maybe not. Quite often I’ll be sitting in my car in a long line of cars in traffic.
Perhaps there are two lanes heading in each directions. In between lanes, homeless people will often walk in between the cars seeking out donations.
This is when I [...]
I suppose I like to push buttons sometimes. One of my favorite activities is to make people think I actually want to engage in normal human conversations with them.
Say a co-worker walks by my desk at the office. Right as he/she is about to pass me, I like to yell out, “Hey!” Also, shouting the [...]
It’s really quite simple. If you’re indoors and there’s a torrential downpour outside — unless it’s super-urgent, no way you ever go out there.
Things are quite different if you’re already outside, and suddenly a clear day turns into a thunderstorm.
Suddenly it’s fun and exciting, possibly even romantic….
…whereas nobody has ever turned to the person next [...]
A quirky person can sometimes be smooth.
A smooth person can sometimes be quirky.
However, I’m pretty sure it’s impossible to be both smooth and quirky at the same time.
One day, before I die, I vow to be simultaneously both smooth and quirky.
If and when, I will issue a full report with details about it.
It’s a shame that it only last for a moment, but it’s always a great feeling when the gas tank has been filled and that little needle on the gauge goes up all the way. (Or whatever the gauge in your car does to tell you you’ve got a full tank, it’s great.) This [...]
I figure no better way to start off 2010 than with more meaningless complaints. I hate people who don’t walk on escalators. It doesn’t matter if it’s an “up” or a “down,” but just because the stairs are moving, doesn’t mean you should be completely still.
I suppose I should correct myself in saying that it’s [...]
The rubbernecking I’m referring to here has nothing to do with cars. It’s when you’re in conversation at a bar/party, and the person you’re talking to is continually glancing around the room. It’s a rude gesture, and basically means that this other person isn’t giving you the time of day, and is more interested in [...]
A moment like the following one I’m about to describe comes only once in a blue moon, if not even once in a lifetime for some people.
The other day I was “cleaning out” (picking) my nose (Yeah, that’s right. Get over it. At least I was home and nobody was watching), and I noticed a [...]
