This morning before I left for work I ate a banana. During my morning shift, I felt much more refreshed and awake after the banana than I do on days when I pop speed pills to pick me up early in the morning. It really makes you wonder–is fruit healthier than synthesized chemicals?
A funny speaking chap walked in today as I was watching the Switzerland / France match, and said he was impressed that an American was paying attention to the World Cup. We talked for a few minutes about how it probably has to do with how European nations are cramped together and have a history of border disputes and wars. They’ve had time to develop rivalries, whereas America is a young nation with lazy and cloyingly nice neighbors, and a population made up of immigrants. Hence, no one really gets overcome with nationalist pride here. We’d rather pay attention to local rivalries like Boston and New York. Then I called him a “wog” or a “git,” I don’t remember which, and we got into a bloody row. I smashed a pint over his head and won via KO.
The desire to tape record phone calls that I receive at work is unbelievable. I’m not sure what the ethical implications are, but you should hear some of the conversations I endure. Remember that scene in Clerks where Dante and Randal compare the dumb questions or commentaries they encounter at work? It’s basically identical, plus my responses are dripping with condescension. You know, just like every conversation you and I have ever had! It’s not that I despise you, I just don’t think you deserve my valuable time. Time that could be spent doing something constructive…Like, doing dope or updating my MySpace.
It makes you wonder why my bill to decriminalize 70th trimester abortions never received any support from other congressmen.
