Today at the grocery store, I witnessed the following. I was looking at milk options, standing adjacent to the egg section. A couple walked by the eggs and said the following:
Guy: Do we have any eggs at home?
He said this in a normal voice. The girl didn't even have time to think about their current inventory of eggs before the guy raises his voice seriously like 3 levels and says
Guy: WELL??? DO WE??? HUH?????!!!!!
As always, I try to think of possible situations of why this would happen. Maybe Monday is ommelette day. Maybe they had an argument last week about how many eggs they have and he saved it for the next time they went to the story. Maybe his mom was a chicken and he's very sensitive about eggs. Who knows.
All i know is that the next time they're at the store, I hope I'm there and I hear them say the following:
Guy: Hey, do we have any eggs at ho--
Girl: EIGHTEEN, MOTHER FUCKER.

Know thyself
Life is crazy. And yet it's pretty void of anything as well.
My friend told me the other day that the problem with how i approach thing is that a single thing, be it good or bad, seeps into everything else in my life. This means of course, that when something good happens, I'm walking on sunshine. However, when something bad happens, which I would say is much too often (although that is definitely a result of my perspective), it makes for some meloncholy days.
That's how it is.
However, in the past few months..hell in the past year, I've learned some important lessons. I've learned a lot about myself. Some good. Some bad. More than anything, I've learned how important it is for me to stop judging myself. However, I feel that that too is part of who i am. I have some limitations in my life, and the only person who I can blame for them is myself. I have parts of my life that are lacking, and the only person who I can blame for them is myself.
There is a big difference between being emo and being analytical. I believe this post to be the latter.
I want to think that I'm being smart here. That I'm taking the part of my life and putting them under a microscope in order to understand them better. However, I don't believe this is the case. I believe what I'm doing is taking the same crumbs that have always been on my plate and simply trying to cut them in half, rearrange them, group them, etc. in order to try to pull something else out of it.
And that, is simply a waste of time.
It's time to stop fighting everything about myself and try to accept who I am. And if those parts are bad/lacking, then so be it. The only thing I can do is enjoy it. For better or for worse.
