A Blog By Me

It never fails to surprise me how oblivious people are sometimes to their surroundings. This morning I was standing outside the store and I was watching a man on the opposite side of the street walking and talking on his cell phone. Either that man was so engrossed in the conversation that he didn’t see the tree, or he just failed to see the huge tree in his path. Well, it wasn’t exactly in his path, it was slightly to the right of it. Anyway, he walked head on into it. It was hard not to laugh when he backed up a couple feet, rubbed his head, and looked around to see if anyone had seen it. I waved when he looked over at me. He waved back with a big ol grin on his face.

This past winter I was trying to fix the pressure mat in front of the door at the store, I’m on my hands and knees with an assortment of pliers, screw drivers and duct tape when a woman opened the door right into my fucking head. It’s not like the front door isn’t a full pane glass door. So, the dumb bitch opens the door a good whack into my dome, I stand up swearing and she continues to try and open the door while I’m standing in front of it. She finally opens the door, and I’m still swearing

“Oh, I didn’t see you there.”

And walks in the store.

“How the FUCK didn’t you see me there!? Excuse me, I need to get some ice.”

I open the door for her to leave.

She holds up a pair of clogs

“You have these in a size nine?”

Needless to say, I didn’t get her the fucking shoes. Well, she was more stupid and selfish rather than oblivious, but you get the point.

Aside from the dude walking into the tree, I’m also pretty astounded by Bush’s sheer lack of common sense and observation. Like the customers that walk in here and talk on their cellphones even though I have a shit ton of signs all over the place that say “This is a cell free zone”, he’s just fucking oblivious, or, like the customers that try on the display shoes even though I use to have signs post that said “Save our shoes, please don’t try on the displays” he’s got some warped sense of entitlement where he thinks that the laws that everyone else has to abide by don’t apply to him. (Or the signs) While comparing retarded customers to our retarded Prez is kinda far reaching in itself I seriously wonder if mommy drank while preggo with both.

This self righteousnesses that is displayed across the board is really quite mind numbing when I see all these houses going into foreclosure, and all the small businesses just here on Cape alone, taking a dive bomb into the fucking shitter. But no, there isn’t aaaaaaaaaaaaaaanything to worry about. Really. He has everything under control. Really. Here have a couple hundred bucks to spend on crap to help jump start a drowning economy. Thats a really nice fucking thought, I would love to use my money and go buy another pair of shoes, but I have bills I need to pay, and the increasing cost of living I need to worry about. A new pair of shoes or a new ipod isn’t going to feed me, or put gas in my tank every day so I can get my ass to work and make just barely enough to get by.

Does buying groceries count as “stimulating” the economy?

Also, lab rats of lesser gods.

Yea, that makes sense.

So does this.
