I hate candy corn…I hate the way it looks, I hate the way it smells, I hate the way it tastes. I figured out why we never see candy corn commercials. See, I figure that all the candy corn that exists was created in 1908, before TV, and since no one eats it, the companies go to the dumpsters and get what’s thrown out for next year. Oh, don’t worry, they wash it. Candy corn is the worse thing about Halloween, but I do remember the first time my mom gave it to me. Here Brendon, this is candy corn…its corn that tastes like candy. Oh, boy...wait a minute this tastes like crap. However, every year I walk into a room around the time of Halloween and there on a table is a bowl of candy corn. I, like any Alzheimer patient you’ll find out there, look at this bowl as if I have never seen the stuff. So, I say to myself, oh boy corn that tastes like candy, I can’t wait. I bite into it…son of a bitch!!!

Thanksgiving is another holiday that has gotten out of control. It once was a day where we watched football, ate, and passed out, not Christmas part 1. Now after we eat, we have to go shopping. I blame us Christians for making it a beast that cannot satisfied. I mean as soon as the Easter Bunny goes away for the year, out come the decorations. Screw Halloween, Thanksgiving, and everything else Christmas is only 7 months away. We don’t celebrate the other holidays anymore, they’re just our days of rest while we do all of our Christmas shopping. It’s as if April merges with December, cut out the middleman. The Friday after Thanksgiving...now that’s the real black Friday. Number one shopping day of the year...why? I’m usually still passed out from all the food I ate the night before. Maybe people use that day to work off all the crap they ate the day before. See I don’t care I’m fat and I will always be fat, so why bother to change the inevitable? I’m a big pants person, what can I say?

Christmas stuff before Thanksgiving, I don’t get it. I also don’t get why I can only but shorts and Hawaiian shirts in the middle of the winter. I’m cold and I need a new sweater...oh too bad, wait till next year, should’ve thought ahead of time. No, you should sell me clothes that correspond with the season in which I am currently suffering. Oh, sorry I forgot that when the weather people tell me it is going to a harsh winter that I should listen, because they have such an immaculate track record for judging the weather correctly. Weathermen, much like lawyers, are just paid to lie to us and make us feel like we have some control or insight over what happens around us. Every morning I use to turn on the TV, sit down for breakfast, and watch the news until the weather came on. At that point, I took my spoon from the cereal I was eating and shove it in my eye in order to distract me from the stupidity.

Ever think about your impulses? Like your standing there, next to one of your friends, and you think, wow I could smack him upside the head and he'd never expect it...he's my friend. Insanity is not really that far away, is just saying yes to the wrong impulse.

Those who stay sane can make those quick decisions...like, hmmm should I stick my hand into the garbage disposal or just walk into the other room. Luckily, most of us have that little voice that says "no no no, turning the car into oncoming traffic is counter-productive".That's why I love music...anything that makes a person want to flop around like a dying fish on a tanning bed is ok with me.

However, the jeopardy music really annoys me. How does anyone concentrate with all that? I mean jeopardy is like the toughest game show ever. I try to keep up, but my brain cramps up and I just end up drooling and watching cartoon reruns from the 80s. I mean the you have the champion who picks the most obscure catagories. He's like Alex, I'll take "things no one on the planet could pissobly know except for people on jeopardy" for 300. Ok, the answer is X19UPS3467228RTY85...::ring ring:: yes go ahead Bob. What is the inventory number for a ball bearing on a '72 Volvo.

As most of you probably know, the State of the Union address was last night.  Yes, and there was lots of clapping involved…lots of clapping.  I went through the transcript this morning, yes, I have no life, and I am completely helpless, and counted how many times the session paused for applause.  Now when I started doing this I figured twenty-five, maybe thirty pauses, NO!  Sixty-eight times!  I mean the dude has books written solely based on how much he sucks at speaking in public, yet they stop to clap sixty-eight times.  Well, you know why they have stop don’t you?  This guy is so simple minded that he can only stay on track for so long.  They stop so they can shock him with a cattle prod and he can catch up to the prompter.

 

I loved when he started to talk about the future of the financial world.  He mentioned that we, our generation, should not rely on social security when we’re older.  No freaking duh, I learned that when I was in fifth grade.  I mean he must think we’re all retarded or something because there is no way the government will give me back any of the money I gave it.  This makes me laugh at the fact that he mentioned the use of personal accounts that we can put money in over time and the government can never take it away.  Bullshit!  The government will find some loophole, so that they can say oh we’ll use your money, but in the end give you more for your trouble, because “just in case” oh lets say a war occurs they can use the money to pay for it.  Oh wait, we’re in a war, so now they’ll take our money from these accounts.  Oh wait, there is probably not enough, well don’t worry we’ll still be getting more back from the government even though we’re in debt.

 

I have a question for you, how can we be in debt when the entire freaking world owes us money?  We are the biggest, strongest nation, and we should take the proverbial gun to any other country who owes us money and say pay up now bitch!  I mean it’s not like blowing them up would cost anything, we already have the missiles we need, and since we’re not “suppose” to use them anyway, why not find a use for them.  For those of you think what missiles, do you really think that our government dismantled all of our weapons of mass destruction?  Of course not, why do you think we let Saddam get away with so much, because we have the firepower to blast them back to primordial soup if we wanted to (notice I didn’t say Stone Age, because that would be advancement).  In fact, we all know Bush was sitting there, rocking back in forth in his Oval office chair, praying that Saddam launched something.  I mean it could’ve been anything, a missile or even a goat strapped to a bomb, who cares?  He just wanted to hit that little red button that’s on his desk.  After all we don’t Bush to have to “higher the taxes”.  That’s right, he wouldn’t raise the taxes, he’d higher them.  What, do the taxes need jobs or something?  Well I know that surely isn’t the case because I have a job and taxes are definitely working me over, so they don’t need any addition work if you know what I’m talking about.  I mean the president is looking ahead and I realize that it seems like a good idea, but I’m looking to survive this whole thing with Iraq, never mind North Korea just chillin’ over there, creating new weaponry that can reach us.
