Above the influence? Really? Really??

I'm getting sick of these Above the Influence commercials that say how bad smoking weed is. If you're going to point out the evils of pot, pick out something convincing.

Airing a commercial with a talking dog, even though he's chastizing you about being high, is NOT at all convincing. In fact it makes you want to smoke until dogs start talking.

I know I'm behind the times

I finally watched Brokeback Mountain. It's been on my Blockbuster Que for a while and finally reached the top. It was a good movie, well acted, beautifly shot, ect, ect.

I couldn't stop laughing through the movie and it's not because I'm being immature.

When it came out, my grandpa took his special lady friend to see it, not knowing what it was. Throughout the movie I couldn't stop thinking about the reactions of my grandpa and how brutally awkaward things must have been.

I don't want to be mean to my grandpa, but it's damn funny.

Am I allowed to bash women?

Because I'm going to.

This story and subsequent book really annoys me. It makes me understand the enormous divide between men and women, and domestic abuse. It reinforces the idea that women have to change men.

Why?? Only women, as a whole,(pardon the pun) get in to a relationship thinking, 'If I could get him to stop doing this and wearing that, things would be perfect.'

Why not get into a relationship accepting the other person as they are? Men accept each other with their flaws and all. They may rip each other constantly over them, but they get over it and have a beer.

I do appreciate that one of these women advises her sisters not to take things so personally and that a man's every move does not reflect his love of his mate, but this whole subject pisses me off. Grrrr.

I like to remember a truly wise man's motto: "I am what I am."

Lets all raise a can of spinach to Popeye. Here, here.

I'm a real adult now

Yes, I've officially grown up. After months of procrastinating, I'm finally going to the eye doctor.

I don't want to brag, but I have vision insurance now and even though I've had it for a few months, I've been putting off making an appointment because I'm lazy. Nevermind that I'm wearing my last pair of contacts. Nevermind that I've been wearing this pair of month contacts for four months.... Being lazy is much more important.

So I made this appointment on Tuesday for 5 p.m. Friday. I thought I was being responsible for scheduling it then so it wouldn't conflict with any work responsibilities, I mean who schedules a meeting for 5 p.m. on Friday?

Someone does.

So I'm missing a meeting to get my eyes checked. Sounds like an adult excuse to me.

When do I get my adult badge? And is there some sort of secret handshake I have to learn?
