Isn't in funny how the idea you feel least confident putting out there
always seems to be the one that elicits the most positive feedback and
response? It's so weird.
Note to self: "Remember this."
Note to YOU: "If you don't know what the hell I'm talking about,
READ THIS!"
Here is the problem. The connundrum. Thee pickle (hehe,
'pickle'): When should you say something to others, and when should
you keep your mouth shut?
Just because I've decided to rid my
life of automobiles, plastic bags, and bottled water doesn't mean that I
can kiss my own ass and hold it over everyone else. I do what I can,
I could do more...so could you, so could...well, everyone. In your
day to day life, you will encounter people who try to limit their
footprint, and you will even more likely encounter people who completely
disregard these basic fundamentals for conservation.
For example, the day you decide to completely give up bottled
water...you're going to witness someone stand right in front of you,
chugging a bottle of Fiji (the world's worst offender of the bottled water
set), then proceed to throw it in the garbage before its contents have
been fully consumed.
How do you get over yourself? The smugness!??

There is a very
fine line because, the fact of the matter is some people just don't
think about this stuff. If you reminded them, maybe they'd say "oh, that
never occurred to me...thanks." Or maybe they'd just grab you by the hair
and smash your face into the wall for being a
holier-than-though jackass? I dunno...
I really don't want to be that guy - the one that takes
everything so seriously. The one that can't shut his mouth because he's
constantly correcting you, or standing on some soapbox. I know that no one
likes that guy.
Somehow though, we have to get this stuff out of the way,
to establish some respect for one another's plight. It seems like
it's the only way we
can get back to business.
Business to me, of course, is chugging tall boys, lighting stuff on
fire, and making artificial vaginas in the garage shop. Relax, I
sell them on the internet. It's only real vaginas for this
guy!

This is what has been keeping me awake at night:
Do you think the McChicken chickens are the same ones who lay the McMuffin
eggs? I wonder. If they are, the next obvious question is
this: Which came first? McChicken chickens, or McMuffin eggs?
Do you even think that McChicken chickens are even capable of laying
McMuffin eggs, or eggs at all for that matter? I mean, you hear all
these things about genetic modification to feed chickens so they don't
grow
beaks and claws, hormone injections to speed their
maturity and size...you wonder what that does to the natural cycle of
chicken production. Maybe eggs are just a messy distraction in the
scheme of things and therefore just programmed out. Of course, if
that's true, you just wind back up wondering where the McChicken chickens
come from.
I've been out with Sam in the baby carrier lately, and it's been the
cutest, most fun way to get around with the wee lad in the big city.
It creates a lovely bonding feeling, I must say. My arms are usually
used in support of his head and body, but the snuggler keeps him all
secure so I can just walk and hug the little feller to death.
Not to mention his little hat, and tiny Vans slip-ons just danglin' there
take the
cuteness to another level altogether. People can barely take it.
"Ohmigod!! Lookee!!" We feel almost famous.
The cooler fall breezes are starting to come in, and for some strange
reason I always find myself a little relieved by it. I live for the
summer, but there's this "ok, it's on!" feeling I get when putting on nice
socks and comfy, full support sneaks for the first time in months.
You also start sleeping better, and come on let's face it, my rig just
looks bigger in olive green corduroy pants.
Much Love & Stuff,
