I’m Alive, Shut Up!

I’m sorry, dear friends. I was sick. I know it’s no excuse, and I’m sorry I haven’t been here. But now I am back. I can now climb three flights of stairs without coughing up an alveolar sac, which, in case you’re wondering, looks NOTHING like a nutsac. Seriously. I myself was surprised. I mean a sac is a sac is a sac, right? Like a sac can only look like one thing, and that is a nutsac. But, NO. I was WRONG. Alveolar sacs and nutsacs actually do not look alike. I feel like I’ve been living a lie all these years. Feel free to share that fact. That one is yours to keep.

This has been a week of me breaking shit. The most recent casualty is my computer mouse at work. I think I spilled coffee and water on it too many times, so it got fed up and said, eff you loser and then the little red light wet dim, just like that scene in the original Terminator where the robot gets crushed in the George Foreman grill and it’s little red eye goes dim and it is all, so sad…so dark…and cold…so…alone. That was my computer mouse. Later it came back as sweet fucking liquid metal, and then it came back again, this time as a girl that is not Charlize Thereon but kind of looks like her if you squint, but I didn’t see that one, so I can’t say for sure. Then I guess it came back again to the past to go back to the future. God these things are so confusing sometimes. I need to waterproof my life, that is the lesson learned, friends.

I also busted my wallet. Normally I bust wallets because it’s filled with COLD HARD CASH and it’s like yo dawg, can you break a C-note and they are like uh no don’t call me dawg and I don’t have change, and I’m like whatever, loser!

So here is what I’ve figured out: In order to buy a wallet you need to spend money. That means it comes out of a wallet. But you don’t have one. But let’s say you somehow buy a wallet, but then you don’t have money to put in it. Like, this is some kind of weird black hole/time-space thing, maybe.

    I have for some time wondered what came first….the wallet? or the dollar bill? Nobody seems to know.

    Yes, now everybody knows.

    It’s a vicious cycle, indeed. Sadly I find my wallets more as a guardian of the evil plastic and less so of paper. I think I just can’t be bothered to go to the bank 99% of the time; too much effort.

    Hope you find a wallet solution soon.

    Jon: I think both the dollar bill and the wallet came up at the exact sametime.

    Liam: I’m usually big into the plastic, but I find that I spend less money if I have cash on me. I don’t know how that works though.

    Stephany: I CAN speak Korean and READ it, but I can’t type it because my keyboard is in English!감사합니다!

    For a second I thought there was an oblique reference to S1mOne, but there wasn’t (thank god).

    Very happy to hear you’re feeling better.

    Dude, I had swine flu. For real. It sucked.

    Target is a good place for wallets. Carry your money in a pocket and then buy a wallet for whatever’s left after you buy a wallet.
