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.

Lessons in life
I seriously think that the best lessons in life are the hardest/painful ones. This is because these lessons are the ones that you learn the most from.
The greatest goals are the ones that are the most difficult to achieve, because those are the ones that you can savor the most. Those are the ones can you appreciate the most.

2012
2012 was not a very good year. In fact, it was horrible. But 2013 is finally here, and I'm hoping with that, better moments.
I think if there's one thing I can say about 2012, it's that it's given me perspective on various things in life. And maybe that, if anything, is the one silver lining.

"update"
Giving up is good and bad at the same time.
Ignorance is bliss, but it also means you're an idiot.
Comparison of lives is the worst thing one can do to themselves.
My life is the movie Hedgehog Day, but just change up the meals.
It's a good thing the tree in front of my house is a lemon tree. It forces me to go to the store. If the tree was an orange tree, I'd die from on overdose of vitamin C.

Driving rules
I think that if you change lanes without using your blinker, for 30 seconds, your car should use double the amount of gas. That is the price you pay for driving like a bitch.
Also, when people get to a red light, why do some people leave an exorbitant amount of space between their car and the car in front of them? The other day, I was stopped at a light, and the car next to me had left two car lengths of space between them and the car in front. Compounding this irritant, I also wonder why people then move forward randomly. This pisses me off because if you're the car behind them, it now either a) makes you look like the dick or b) now requires you to move up randomly as well.
I also enjoy when people tailgate me when I'm in the second lane over, when there are empty faster lanes to the left of me. I then see how long they are willing to tailgate me at 10mph below the speed limit. It's quite a fun game.

I Fail
Life is a series of failures
and of few successes
And
Whenever I'd fail.
I'd always think,
there's still time.
Time to prove it to her
to him
to me
That I can do it.
That I can make it.
And so I'd fail
And I'd fail.
And each time I did
And each time I do
I tell myself
"Not good enough"
and mentally jab myself.
They say that when you fail
you learn.
What doesn't kill you
makes you stronger
makes you smarter
makes you numb
But how do you define
"smarter"
and how do you define
"stronger"
Every time I fail
I learn about myself
I mentally gain,
Physically fail,
And remain in the same place.
So caught in this whirlwind of thoughts
filled with patterned chaos
I wonder
Is there still time?
and of few successes
And
Whenever I'd fail.
I'd always think,
there's still time.
Time to prove it to her
to him
to me
That I can do it.
That I can make it.
