Random Thoughts 19

Thursday, July 30th, 2009

I’m back baby! Random Thoughts, after being on hiatus for a few weeks because of my first stand-up performance is making a triumphant return. I have another gig on August 16th, 2009, but I promise you I won’t leave you with out Random Thoughts for another 3 weeks. And here it is baby; Random Thoughts 19!

  • I fucking love Facebook notifications. Every time I see the little red talk bubble after logging in, my heart goes all pitter patter. “Somebody likes my status!” or “So and so commented on your note.” I fucking love it. But I hate it when I comment on other’s statuses and Facebook notifies me that like 10 other people commented on it as well. Why, Facebook, why do you do that to me? Don’t you realize it’s all about me? Why else would I have this fucking profile it not to make me feel important? I don’t care the Average Bob commented on somebody else’s status after me. Not unless they are commenting about how funny my comment is.
  • I want to have twin boys so I can lord it over everybody else about how great my sperm is. Few things are better than knowing that the genetic material you are passing on is so awesome, it couldn’t be contained in one embryo, so it created another one. Knowing your sperm is so kick ass, that if it had stayed in one embryo, the sheer awesomeness would have been more than the fetus could handle. Priceless.
  • Everybody talks about how cougars are hot this, and cougars are sexy that. Then they have nicknames for girls like “sexy little minx” and “pussy cat.” Well, you know whom you never hear about. The alley cat. This can’t stand and I’m here to give the alley cats the recognition they deserve. Sure they might have scars and bullet wounds and an occasional occurrence of lice, but nobody will work harder for you pleasure and approval than a starving alley cat.
  • You ever notice how people in a car act like they are invisible. It’s like they get in the fucking car and all of sudden think they are Wonder Woman in her invisible jet. Just becaue you are are in a care doesn’t mean we can’t see you! Stop picking your nose or forgetting how to eat like a human being. People eating in car just start shoveling food into their mouths with no regard for societal conventions. In a restaurant, you’ll see people taking regular bites of their burger, but you get in a car, you just shove the whole burger in your mouth like you’re practicing your deep throat technique or something. And when people pick their nose, they pull it out and then they look at it. The always look at it, just to make sure the got it. “Oh yeah baby, you dry ass booger. You’ve been buggin me all day and I just couldn’t wait to get into my car with it’s invisible deflector shield and nobody could see me make half my finger disappear while I scratch my brain.”
  • Watching somebody get drunk for the first time is like watching Bambi trying to learn to walk on ice.
  • I just heard that the Jonas Brothers took off their purity rings. Yeah, it turns out now that Michael Jackson’s dead, they won’t be using those for protection anymore.
  • Whoever said “Idle hands are the devil’s workshop” probably had short arms and were bitter they couldn’t reach down far enough to masturbate.
  • If we have another Katrina-like scenario and Obama happens to react slowly, will Kanye West say that Barack hates half of black people.
  • My mother is crazy. Isn’t everybody’s mother? Well of course we all think about mom is crazy, so this isn’t anything new. My mom isn’t exactly a special kind of crazy, like bipolar or multiple personality, or anything like that. She is crazy in the “Immigrant mother” sense of crazy. This makes for some awesome experiences growing up. Every time there is a new illness going around the globe, like Ebola, SARS, or Swine Flu, my mom is absolutely certain that she’s got it. No matter how improbable it was for her to have actually contracted this deadly disease, she was hell bent on that fact that she got it and was going to die in a few days. Like I said “Mexican immigrant crazy.” So one time, just to see what would happen, my sister and I made up a new illness. We called it hypochondrosis. And the time, my mom actually did have a mild case of the common cold, so this may have been really cruel now that I think about it. But we had it with the doomsday scenarios that my mother blindly believed, so we took action. We listed all the symptoms, sore throat, fever, runny nose, and swollen glands and said that it started out like a regular cold, but if untreated for 72 hours, it could be deadly. As luck would have it, she had been sick for 48 hours. Time for a quick visit to the urgent care center down the street. Once at the doctor, mom was hysterically telling the doctor about this new disease that her children had read about on the internet called hypochondrosis and that she needed medication quickly. I’m not sure exactly what the doctor finally said to calm her down, because she didn’t speak to us for a couple of days afterwards. Whatever, it worked. Now, my mom took fours days instead of two to become convinced that the Swine Flu was out to get her. Mission Accomplished.
  • I like to think of all the world’s religions as cellphone companies. So Catholicism is like Verizon, one of the first and most expensive, but you get your monies worth. US Cellular is like the Mormons, they’ll hook you up with as many people you want as long as it’s an incoming call. And Jehovah’s Witnesses are like CricKet Wireless. They are just looking for a little bit of respeKt.
  • What’s Mardi Gras like in the middle east? For that matter, what do you think they’re “Girls Gone Wild” videos are like. Do the guys chant at girls on balconies, “Show your lips! Show your lips!” And instead of beads, to they throw stones at them? And another thing; do they have clubs where girls are acting crazy and participating in a Wet-Burqa Contest?
  • Do you think that Mrs. Michael J. Fox thinks of her husband as a human vibrator?

  • Africa is the worst place to be a cannibal.
  • There is this article on MSN.com with doctors debating if women should take hormone treatments for period suppression . While both doctors seem to put forth valid arguments, they failed to mention one thing. Even with period suppressing hormone treatments, it does nothing to stop women from yapping away incessantly at any point in the month. So it’s really a wasted treatment from a man’s point of view.
  • TV shows you don’t want to recognize your friends: To Catch A Predator, Cops, Cheaters, As the person that doesn’t provide any help on “What would you do?” On the “Born man or woman?” episodes of Maury Povich. Actually, make that any episode of Maury Povich, America’s Most Wanted, On a Girls Gone Wild commercial. (Unless it’s a friend that you always wanted to sleep with. Now you get to finally see her naked.)
  • When I tell people that I’m Mexican, they always get a surprised look on their face. I love just pulling that little fact about myself when it’s least expected. I always get the same shocked reaction from white people too. The always try and play it off like they are cool with it, but I mean, I know it comes out of left field and catches them off guard. “This shouldn’t be allowed. How did he get past the system? This is the worst thing that could have happened. They are making stealth Mexicans now. What kind of technology do they have down there?” That’s right, I’m the scariest kind of Mexican because I’m stealth baby, under the radar. But I’m not the only stealth Mexican. It occurred to me that Superman is also Mexican. Think about it. He’s an illegal alien. He worked long hours on a farm for little more than food and shelter, he has no qualifications to be a journalist, so he’s taking away American jobs right there. And when he found out he knocked up Lois Lane he took off to Krypton for 5 years. Of course he’s Mexican!
  • In the city of Chicago we have a rule that allows cab drivers to charge more, a surcharge, depending on the cost of gas. Well, apparently pizza delivery drivers are pissed that cab drivers are the only ones that get this “benefit.” While they have a point, as I was watching ABC 7 news, a pizza delivery driver called himself an independent contractor. You heard right, this motherfucker had the nerve to refer to his job delivering pizzas as an independent contractor. Yeah, he’s right up there with engineering consultants and construction company presidents.
  • Inappropriate times to talk like a porn star: When you are cooking. “Yeah, that’s right. Stir that sauce! Stir that sauce!” or when you are a bank teller. “You like it when I give you cash back? Yeah, you like that thick wad of cash, don’t you?” Actually, why do porn stars always refer to their genitals as though they are disconnected from their body? Why is it always, “Fuck that pussy” or “Is that pussy good for you baby” or “Choke on that cock?” Does this make them, on some level, feel like what they are doing for a living is happening to somebody else’s genitals? Does it make it less personal in some way?
  • Every man has had a time when the *eh hem* equipment doesn’t do what it’s told to do. This is when a man finds out if the woman he is with is a good woman. If she says, “It’s ok honey, it happens to lots of guys,” run. Because one, she’s patronizing you and two, how many fucking guys has she been with to be able to say ‘lots of guys.’ But if she’s a good woman, I mean a really, really good woman; if she is worth it, she will provide her own stimulus package and say, “Honey, how can this be? You’re like AIG, you’re to big to fail.”
  • I know we are making progress as a society, no matter how painfully slow this progress is. Ten years ago, most men would be appalled and disgusted at the very thought of having a gay son. But today, we have moved from, “If I have a gay son I will kick him out of the house and never talk to him again” to “If I get stuck with a gay son, I at least want him to be the one calling the shots.” The implication there is that he be the pitcher and not the catcher. But I’m not so sure about this. This is a really typical way of thinking for men and the initial gut reaction. “As long as he’s still a man and not a sissy little bitch, he’ll be the one making the decisions in the relationship.” One small problem. Ask yourself, “As a straight man when was the last time I got to make a decision about anything?” The first date? Maybe the second date. We hate to admit it, but pussy talks. Shit, if I get stuck with a gay son, he better be the “woman” in the relationship. He’ll be the one with the real power then.
  • I read and article about a woman, Tammy Sexton, who was shot in the head. Her husband, Donald Ray Sexton, tried to kill her, shot her in the head then shot himself in the head. She survived, though clearly disoriented by the ordeal, because when the officer showed up to the house she offered to make him tea. I’m glad she’s ok, but the person that I’m thinking about in all this is Donald Ray. How did his soul react afterwards? I could just see his eternal soul leaving, floating up to Heaven to be judged looking around when he realized, “Where the fuck is that no good Tammy. Even in death that bitch has to be difficult.” Then he reaches the pearly gates, and St. Peter is smirking at him. “You know what Donald Ray, God was bored today, and he needed somebody to be Punk’d. It just so happens to be you!”
  • I work retail, so I inevitably run up against some of the most asinine, aggravating and all-around shitty people to have ever graced this world. However, every once in a while there is that one person that does something so surreal, it makes all the others pale in comparison. Joyce the Blinker is one such person. She is an unassuming 4’10” Asian woman that wears a size 2, even though she should be wearing a size 6. And she has the annoying habit of speaking to you within three inches of your face; all the while constantly blinking. And not a regular blink, but like she trying to close her eyes as hard as she can. I half expect to say in her broken English, “There no playsss lie’ home.” One day, I was stuck working when Joyce came in, and as usual, she needed to return half the clearance clothing she purchased four days ago and wanted to exchange it for different clearance clothing. For those that don’t know, to reduce the number of returns, many retail locations have now started running a person’s license through a verifone to keep track of the number of returns. Well, as I’m doing this for Joyce’s exchange she asks me if she can try a shirt on to make sure it fits right. “Sure,” I say with my back to her, “Let me finish running your ID through first.” Well, no sooner do I turn around and I see The Blinker taking off her shirt right there at the counter, in the middle of a store, revealing her sports bra and the worst muffin top in the history of mankind. In 2 ½ year working at this store, I nothing like this has ever happened. Ever! All I have to say is thank God that it was a shirt, because I sure as hell had not desire to see her varicose veins outlining her cratery thighs, that’s for sure.
  • So evidently people are concerned about the amount of rape that is going on in prison. Don’t wait for the punch line; this is real people. The National Prison Rape Elimination Commission issued an extensive report citing that 4.5% of prisoners surveyed reported being sexually abused in the past 12 months. And yes, that is a real agency, presumably funded by our tax dollars. So the NPREC has no problem “raping” us of our tax dollars, but they don’t want a bunch of convicted criminals getting their leather stretched against their will. “The commission recommended that jails and prisons take steps to reduced rapes behind bars, including adoption of zero tolerance policies…and improved screening to identify prisoners vulnerable to abuse.” REALLY? First of all, a zero tolerance policy? Usually a zero tolerance policy is followed by a harsh punishment. If you are already in jail for life or death row, what good is a zero tolerance policy going to do? And you do you really need improved screening to identify prisoners vulnerable to abuse? I think the homeboys and vatos locos are doing a pretty good job of screening them already. The only time I’ve gone to jail I “do not pass go and do not collect $200” so I’m no expert, but even so, I think the screening process is pretty easy.
  • I'm pretty sure this guy will have no problem avoiding prison rape

    The same can't be said for any of these guys

  • LOL has become the “like” of the Internet. In everyday speech I hear the word “like” approximately 50,000 times a day. I’ll save my rant about the degeneration of speech later. LOL on the other hand is just getting on my nerves. LOL means laugh out loud, but people just use it now for shit that barely merits a nervous laughs. People will write stupid shit on their Facebook saying, “I hope the kids don’t act like animals today lol.” What?!?! Hey, if your kid is acting like a little fucking brat, slap him/her across the face. That way they learn. Don’t look for sympathy on Facebook. And sure as hell don’t write lol after a piece of shit statement like that. For that matter, why the hell are you writing lol after your own statements? Do you realize how much of a loser you come off as that you are “laughing out loud” at your own jokes?
  • I know the presidency is really stressful, but President Obama’s hair is turning really gray really fast. You know, I’ll bet it’s not even the burdens of the office. I’ll bet it’s the pressure of having to plan a fucking date night every other weekend.
