The root of all weirdness
Money. It makes people weird. Most people have a strong aversion to talking about it like it's somehow connected to some intimate part of their soul. I really don't get it. Just try this, go ask 10 random people " So, how much do you make a year?" and you'll see what I mean. Personally I don't give a rats ass who knows how much I make. What difference does it manke? I've heard people say that knowing changes how people look at you. Really? I mean seriously?? What the fuck it THAT all about?

Sparkle and Shine
There is nothing, NO-THING better than starting off the day by taking a shower in a tub that is clogged and still filled with the water from the last person who used it several hours ago. Man I just love that "coated in someone else's dead skin" feeling; it really wakes me up and gets me ready to face the day. It truly comforts me to know that someone else's blackheads are now clogging MY pores. Mmmm....It's like a fresh spring day .............

Clocks
I had a thought while in the shower this morning (and no it wasn't "How did I get so stanky"). I was thinking about the guy who built the first clock. Why did he opt for a dual 12 hour time scheme instead of a 24 hour one? A day has 24 hours right? The military uses the 24 hour format as not to confuse one in the morning with one in the afternoon. It just makes sense; one in the afternoon IS actually the 13th hour. So why would it occur to someone that we should have two One O'Clocks?
We're used to it now and it's ingrained in our psyches and our culture. But when people first started using devices to measure the passage of time, before it became second nature; why two One O'Clocks and not 13 O'clock?
