Funny things overheard at the home today.

So, you know how I hate old people? Well, I still do. But sometimes they say funny things. Like this one:

"They say the first place you go blind is in the eyes."

Young people can be funny too. Witness this gem:

"I don't know why she hates me. I've worked with other women whose boyfriends I stole and they never had a problem with me."

Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to Philipsburg, New Jersey.

An opinion

I posted this as a comment on one of Shine's entries, but I think I should put it here. And I'm gonna say that this is not about the "popstar in space" comment. I get that it was a joke, though I still say it wasn't funny. No, it goes much deeper than that. It's about all the disrespectful shit he's been saying about Britney(I don't particularly care for Britney, but no one deserves to be treated like he's been treating her lately and I'm not even talking about the video here). It's about calling *NSYNC "that bubble-gum shit" and then claiming to have written The Two of Us. It's about Justin Timberlake having acted like a snot-nosed little punk for the past few months and me being tired of keeping my mouth shut while my friends list tells me how much I should love him.

So here's what I said to Shine:

"See, the two things I'm most tired of hearing in defense of Justin is that he's young, and that he's a guy. Because HELLO...young guy here. It's no excuse for acting like an ass."

(no subject)

I've decided I'm going to stop replying to other people's Justin comments. Because as much as I enjoy a good argument(I've even been known to argue positions I don't believe in just so I can have one), I realize that other people don't and I probably shouldn't go around stirring shit.

To anyone reading this, know that my argumentative nature comes from my family wherein argument is the main form of communication. It's not that we're disfunctional. We just really like debate, and I sometimes forget that not everyone is wired that way.

So two things you need to know about me.

1-If you start an argument with me, I will continue it until you either A) Change my mind, and yes that has happened, B) I change your mind, or C) You get tired of the argument and walk away.

2-If I start an argument with you, it means I take you seriously and respect your opinions whether I agree with them or not.

But I get that not everyone is like me, and most people aren't constantly up for a good fight. So I'm gonna be quiet now. At least in other people's journals.

For a while anyway.

Okay, I lied.

I said I wouldn't post to people's Justin posts and I just did, so I'll ammend my statement.

I won't be argumentative when posting to people's Justin posts.

The lights have been hung by the garage with care.

Lots of care because my driveway is a little hill and I didn't want to fall off the ladder. And boy howdy, is it fucking cold out today!

So, I bought the icicle lights, right? Red and green. Or so I thought. As it turns out, I bought two boxes of red and green lights and two boxes of red and clear lights. Oops. Well it only takes three strands to cover my garage, so I alternated them. Hopefully this will create the illusion that this was an asthetic decision and not another case of me not paying attention. I'll probably take the fourth set (red and clear) and hang them over the front door. But not today, because my hands have just now thawed and I need to go to work soon.

The Christmas tree is looking much more festive. It's amazing what 600 lights can do. I think I'll put the ornaments on when I get home from work tonight.

Merry Christmas
