i'm not from here, so don't look at me like that

Tried on some more ski boots yesterday. As I was squeezing my foot into the stiff boot I noticed that my toes were somewhat cramped at the tip. Having my big toe bunched up against the end of the boot left me in a somewhat uncomfortable position. I told the girl that was sizing me and she wanted to argue with me about it.
"Uh, my toes are very crowded, mostly the big one."
"They're supposed to be like that. They're ski boots, not walking shoes."
"Well, this cramping is extremely uncomfortable."
"Skiers like it that tight and the toes should be cramped. You're a Texas skier anyways." What the heck does that supposed to mean? I can't ski and therefore I know nothing of ski equipment.
"I'm not from Texas."
"Where you from?"
"Mississippi."
"Oh..."
"I've been skiing more times than you can count on two hands, so you can bite me."
I didn't buy her boots.

Requests for a dirty picture? Are you serious? I'll see what I can do. Maybe. Hold your breath on it.

It's party weekend now. The roommate will be gone all weekend. Hope it's a wild time like in Don't Tell Mom the Babysitter's Dead.

Bryan: Park it yourself, Metallica breath!

This weekend I was a man. Going against the norm, I actually got down and did some manual labor for a change. Here in Houston, the manual labor has slacked off quite a bit. No need for it. Everything is now done on a computer and printed off on paper. Getting hands dirty or breaking a sweat at work has become a thing of my past. Coming home from work doesn't require a shower, that is until I visit the gym. I often miss the days of working outside and getting filthy. Seeing a finished product that looks like an actual accomplishment instead of a finished product that has a signature. Pushing paper, following tedious guidelines, and having hazards with every paper clip is becoming tiresome. Why is common sense thrown out the window? Should it really require four signatures to move a piece of equipment down the hall?

Tonight is the Foo Fighters and Jimmy Eat World concert. It couldn't come at a better time.

Yesterday I got fit for ski boots. They were tight and snug. The guy that sized me up seemed to be upset when I finally informed him that I would not be purchasing boots at that time. He'll get over by next week.

Eating string cheese the stringy way is annoying and slow. I prefer the bite into it method. It shall now be called "just eat" cheese.

Henry Brands: I don't think so. No.
Plainview: I have a competition in me. I want no one else to succeed. I hate most people.
