back up off my retina!

i just read in my friend larry's blog about some program that people are apparently submitting to where you skip airport lines and avoid delays by agreeing to have a background check, iris scan, and fingerprints on file. if you ask me, the delays are a small price to pay for keeping the man outta my eyeballs. i mean, is that scary or what? maybe it's just me, but i'm not down with that.

speaking of scary, what's with all these horror films lately? that one "the village" looks particularly terrifying to me. it's like i have to see it even though i hate scary movies. i want to know what happens because on some level in my crazy brain i'm thinking if i know about this sort of thing then if it happens in real life i'll be able to protect myself from it. but then i'm scared for like 5 or 6 days afterward and i just add another strange phobia to my list. on my trip the only city where i had my own room was memphis and i woke up and i thought i saw an old slave woman with a bandana sleeping in the empty bed next to me. okay, that's crazy. i know. but i couldn't go to sleep until i had removed all the blankets and pillows from the bed. see! this is a perfect example of why i shouldn't be exposed to scary things.

i am thinking of writing something entitled "the haters' blog" where i just hate on people and things i don't like. but then i thought that though hilarious, it would make me sort of sad that i had the time on my hands to devote to that. make no mistake, i could make a fulltime occupation out of hating on people, but i am trying to cut down. i really am. i'm trying to at least stop vocalizing the hate. that way, eventually if i stop saying the stuff i'll stop thinking it as often.

right now i am listening to light rock. bonnie raitt. i wanna sing along so badly, but somehow people aren't down with that at work. i need a door on my office. okay, i'm starting to ramble out of control now so i'm going to stop writing. i wish i was more cohesive. i can't help the person i am though. gotta love me.
