Now here's something I really like? Alarm clocks. I'm serious. Without them my life would be a mess. I say I don't like alarm clocks because they wake me up when I'm comfortable in my bed, but I really do like them, and I really do need them. Some people have an internal clock and wake up whenever they need to, because that's how they were built, but not me. I need them. They wake me up when I need to the most. Although alarms are sometimes annoying, they really are helpful. They keep me from waking up late, and having to go in a rush to wherever I need to go. So to all alarms out there, I say thank you. Thank you for the early morning wake up call.

You know what I always found weird? How come you pronounce bologna, buh-loh-nee, and not buh-log-nah. I think that's weird. And what about colonel, epitome, apostrophe, and diabetes. I mean how come they had to mess with the word and make it more difficult to read and pronounce. I mean, how was I supposed to know that you're supposed to pronounce colonel, kur-nl? I want to find the person or people who came up with pronunciations for words. If I did I would give them a piece of my mind...or atleast just ask them what they were thinking when they came up with these pronunciations.

Do you know what I never understood?  How come the letter "z" is associated with sleep.  I mean is there some reason for that?  I see it everywhere. In commercials, books, cartoons, comics, shirts, hats, and on cups. What does the letter "z" have to do with any of that! Who started that anyway?! People don't say "Zzzzz" when they're asleep. If anything it should be "Hhhhhh."  Did the people who start that originally mean to the letter "s," for sleep, except some illiterate moron read it "z" and now we're stuck with that? I don't know. Can someone clear this up for me?

You know what I love? Board games. They're so much fun. I mean, when everyone actually starts getting into the game, it actually gets real fun...but the thing is... I CAN'T GET ANYONE TO PLAY WITH ME! I'm serious, every time I want to play a board game I can't seem to find anyone else to play with. IT"S SO ANNOYING! And when I actually find people to play with, it takes me forever to gather them up to play, but by the time I gather them up, they're no longer in the mood, and we don't end up playing the after all that freakin' waiting. And what really bothers me is that if I do find people to play with, and I gather them up, and we actually start playing the game...it's never exciting. It's always sooooooo boring. But ever-so-often, when the grass is green, and the sun's ray's warm the earth to a perfect temperature, I actually find people, and I actually play with them, and have a good time. And that...that's all I ever ask for. I mean, is that too much to ask for. I guess so, since it rarely ever happens...to me.

You know what I always found hard to do? Starting to floss. Starting to floss is hard...atleast for me. As Mitch Hedberg, one of my favorite comedians said, "Do you know how hard it is to quit smoking? ....About as hard to start flossing." I always either seem to forget to floss, or I never feel like doing it. I mean, I brush my teeth and all, but I can never gather up the courage to start flossing. It's like, I want to but...no, I just can't do it. I do it for about two days, and then I forget. You just can't do it I tell you. But for those who do, I wish I could be like you and floss often, but for now, I'll just keep trying.

You know how they say you need water to stay healthy, and that you need to drink about 8-12 glasses of water a day. Well, that's just not the case. I don't care much for how much water I'm "supposed" to drink.  I mean really, how many people do you know that actually drink that much water daily? Maybe one or two, BUT THAT'S IT! Unless you hang around with health freaks all day, you're not going to find anyone who does. For me it's like,"Guess what everyone... I drank 8-12 glasses today... lets celebrate!" But that's never the case! I barely drink 1-2 glasses a day... and that's if I'm thirsty. So am I healthy? I'm pretty sure I am, even though I don't drink all that water. NO ONE drinks that much water, and if they do, then I congratulate them. You, my friend, are one healthy person, human being, homo sapien whatever you want to call it. As for me, I'm going to continue trying to one day finally reach my goal of drinking THAT much water in a day. One of these days I will... one of these days.

Do you know what I always found funny? When you stay in the water for too long and you become pruny. I actually kind of like that feeling. The weird, wrinkly,  moist, smooth feeling of your skin. Wouldn't you enjoy that feeling? Now that I'm thinking about it, I'm actually kind of jealous of my grandma, she gets to feel like that all the time. Darn those old people. They have everything. Good looks, wrinkly skin, authority...they've got it all. As for me, I'm just gonna enjoy my time in the water and hope to get just a taste of what those old people have.
