My Luck
I can always get to the right place. I'm good at that. But of course, I can never get there at the right time. Today I have come to the realization that I am there, right where I need to be, but for some insane fucking reason, I am simultaneously too early and too late.

The Pen is Mightier...
I don't understand people who are offended by words. Well, actually I guess I just don't understand people who get offended. I said the word thing first because I saw an article talking about Redskins and its use as a mascot. Apparently, there is this high school in the Navajo nation where the mascot is Redskins and most of the faculty and students support the name. They don't find it offensive, in contrast to the more national debate of the name of the Washington NFL franchise.
First off, who cares? Some people find the term offensive. Okay. I can understand the Native Americans that find it offensive. The white people? Not so much. White people don't see race. They see things to complain about to make them feel better about themselves because it's the right thing to do.
What happened to, "sticks and stones will break my bones, but words will never hurt me"? Is that just something you tell a kid who is getting bullied (because obviously there are no good solutions for bullying)? I remember saying that as a kid. And I guess I kind of took it to heart.
I have a general apathy about me though. Maybe that's why I'm not so great at the blogging. But anyway...
Why should anyone care about what someone else has to say about them? Why does a name matter? Isn't it all about context? Redskins is just the name of a football team. Like the N-word for instance. If you're some uneducated black kid, go ahead and spit it out every other word. No one cares. If you're white? Don't say it. Why? Who knows? Because white people are afraid of black people? Probably.
Call me whatever you want. I don't care.

Randomness
I haven't posted anything in a while, so here are some random thoughts that I've been accumulating...
I'm not a good blogger. Obviously. I've come to accept this fact. There is nothing that I'm so passionate about that I could write about it everyday. Kudos to those that can give you 500 words everyday on what their cat did.
Fart jokes are still funny. Yes, I'm 35 years old.
I'm 35 years old! Holy crap!
I was really starting to get into running again, but then I was struck down by my gout foot. Curse you gout foot. And I have since become too lazy to pick it back up. I ran 9 miles one day last month. Then walked another 4.1 just to see if I could. Boo!
Wouldn't that suck to be in the airplane bathroom when it ran into some turbulence? I try really hard not to get out of my seat when flying.
Comedians are really racist. But racism is funny. You know you're laughing at them.
My uncle got married last weekend. I have been to North Dakota twice this year. Crazy.
It's almost football time. Go Bengals!
I must end this blog now. Because I should literally run.

The Dish Ran Away with the Spoon
What's more likely to occur first?
-You put away all the clean dishes in the dishwasher.
-You use all the clean dishes in the dishwasher.
It's definitely the latter for me. I dislike having to do anything with dishes. I have been known to subsist on eating out so that I don't have to wash dishes. Kind of like how I buy too many clothes because I would rather not wash them.

Sick!
I have not been feeling well yesterday and today. Blah. When you throw up, do you ever feel like you will probably never eat whatever food that was ever again? I woke up in the middle of the night last night to throw up. I ate chili yesterday. And now I don't think I can ever eat chili again. Ever. I know my sister feels this way. When she was little she threw up Cocoa Puffs all over the front entrance of some store we went to. She has not eaten Cocoa Puffs since.
Is it weird to think about how much money you wasted buying the food you are throwing up? Like, you spent money on it, but now it's in the toilet.
I had to skip the gym today because I wasn't feeling well. But on the bright side, since I threw up I didn't really have as many calories to burn anyway.
Today I didn't eat anything all day. My stomach was hurting around dinner time, but I couldn't decide if it was because I was sick or because I hadn't eaten all day. I went and ate some dinner and it turned out that it was because I was sick. I felt all reloaded for another puke session after dinner.
Blehhhhhhhhhh!

Happy 4th!
Looking back at some of my past posts here, I noticed that I was drunk a lot on the 4th of July. I'm sure it was thoroughly entertaining at the time. But, come on. Ridiculous. Fat, drunk, and stupid is no way to go through life, son.
Joey Chestnut won another hot dog eating contest. I don't know why I'm so fascinated by this. I try to keep up on it every year. I don't even like hot dogs.
I noticed some smiley face fireworks in the local show tonight. Fantastic. How do they do it?
I can tell I live in a thoroughly conservative area by the commentary on the radio during the fireworks show. Blah, blah, blah, freedom, fighting for this country, soldiers. "Okay guys, one more thing, this summer when you're being inundated with all this American bicentennial Fourth Of July brouhaha, don't forget what you're celebrating, and that's the fact that a bunch of slave-owning, aristocratic, white males didn't want to pay their taxes." - Dazed and Confused
Did they even play Coming to America this year? Either I missed it or they didn't. Come on. Neil Diamond, man. I can go without Independence Day by Martina McBride, but Coming to America? No.
Love you all.

What's the Song of the Summer?
If you find one, call me maybe.
I really like these ones right now:

The Top 10
So my buddy Rob says every guy needs a top 10 list of hot celebrity women. I didn't have one, so through much deliberation came up with the following. In no particular order...
Rachel Bilson - There's something about this girl. I didn't like her on that show The O.C., but pretty much everything after that. I liked her in The Last Kiss and I started to watch that show about her being a doctor, but it sucked so I stopped.
Maggie Grace - She caught my eye on Californication. And she's from Ohio, which is always a plus. I don't know why. But it is.
Jessica Alba - Enough said. Probably the number one person on this list if I had to number them.
Rachel McAdams - It's because of the Notebook... ;) Not really, but I'm pretty sure I'd watch any movie she was in.
Emilia Clarke - She's the mother of dragons, so I mean, come on. That's impressive right there. She's not really blonde though.
Rose Byrne - I wasn't sure about her making it onto the list, but she's been in a couple of movies where I was like, who is that chick? Like what's up? Plus she's Australian.
Emmy Rossum - I watch Shameless and I always wonder why would a guy put up with a girl with all that ridiculous baggage? But then, I'm like, I would. Probably.
Allison Williams - I tried to watch that show Girls, but then I couldn't. I could watch Allison Williams though.
Rashida Jones - She's always that cute, but cool, funny chick in her movies. I dig that.
Olivia Wilde - I can't even think of a movie that this chick is in, but she's another one of those funny hot chicks.
So there it is. I would make a list of men that I think are hot, I'm not too proud. But there's Ryan Gosling and then what?

USA!
Well, Team USA lost to Belgium. I still don't care. I did decide however that I would love to go to watch a game. Sounds like fun.
