If you are drunk and get bit by a mosquito, does the mosquito also get drunk? Does he fly home all cock-eyed and wobbly and shit and his wife yells at him for not being more careful about where he eats??

What exactly is the function of the Adam’s apple, current or past?

I have a pretty good tolerance for pain or discomfort. But. It is ridiculously difficult, once you notice a mosquito on you, to sit there and let him do his thing and then fly away. (I have been told this prevents the itchy bump from forming, and testing thus far supports that!)

Random memory time!
Forever ago, I saw an ad for Celebrex, an anti-inflammatory drug. The narrator at one point says, “A body in motion stays in motion.” This was a cute little reminder to people to keep moving before you can’t because of your condition. Phsyics aside, I think of that quote often, even though i first saw that years and years ago. I try to use it to remind myself that I need to get up and move to keep my condition from getting the better of me.
I was just sitting here and that popped in my head and I realized it’s the one useful thing I ever got from a drug company and didn’t have to pay for. i could rant for pages about the evil of pharmaceutical companies, but I won’t. Today, I would just like to thank whoever wrote that commercial and the drug company that paid for it. 😊

Some days, life is kinda like pulling teeth from an angry alligator. and he hasn’t eaten in a couple of days. and you remind him of his last handler, who was a big jerk, so he really doesn’t like you. and you have a headache.

Sometimes, I am paralyzed by my own curiosity.

Why do they put mirrors behind bars? I mean, who wants to watch themselves get wasted? And speaking of, one of my favorite movie moments is in Phenomenon where John Travolta’s character breaks a mirror (behind a bar) with his mind when he’s angry.

Maybe the day had a shitty you. But you never consider that, do you? Nooo….It’s always the day that’s the shitty one!

I have had a theory/belief/mindset for a long time that there is a difference between reality – that which we perceive every day, and Reality – the truth of existence.
This is explained mainly through psychology and biology. Your past experiences color your present ones, and our biology is extremely limited in what we can actually experience via our senses. These two factors alone are enough to conclude that there is not a single human being – past, present or future – who is able to “see” reality for what it truly is.

To start, some lyrics…
People are people
People are strange
But most of all, people – speaking en masse here – are ignorant, selfish beings that literally drain life from everything. I can’t stand “people”, this is a fact. “People” are why things like war or poverty or violent intolerance or any number of horrible things exist in the first place. “People” suck, plain and simple.
Individuals, however, I can appreciate. Individuals can be kind, compassionate, helpful, willing to at least try to understand opposing views. Individuals can also have bad days where maybe they’re not as kind or forgiving as they truly are. Shit happens, I get that, I’ve done that.
I just had an interesting interaction with the dude at the convenience store. He said, “when someone is ‘people-ing’, I try to just let it go because I don’t know their story or what they’re dealing with with”. I like that. It’s similar to a good person having an “asshole-esque” moment. Sometimes, individuals have “people-esque” moments.
That said, don’t be an asshole. And don’t be a people.
I hope you have a beautiful day!
