Words I Hate a Little Bit

Random.

It was a noble word in the beginning, but then it got stolen by empty-headed teenagers and train-raped by idiots with no vocabulary and an over saturated sensibility for pop-culture. Take a moment, if you will, and let this enter your ears...

"OMG, that's so random! LOL!!!"

Does that sound familiar? Does it cause your insides to move upwards slightly? If it doesn't, don't talk to me.

Poor Horrifying Monster...

I subscribe to the Cartoon Brew blog. They have a running post-series called Cartoon Brew TV. Some of the best animated shorts I've ever seen have been put into my eyes as a result of this rather insightful little series. Here's the new one (Called "The Terrible Thing of Alpha-9!"):

Candy Dreams

This has been on my mind for a while. Ever since it happened the first time... I don't really know how to describe it--what it means to me. I know how I feel about it, that much is certain. But where will I end up if this kind of thing continues? Is it healthy? I feel as the hungry man who dreameth, and, behold, he eateth; but he awaketh, and his soul is empty: or as when a thirsty man dreameth, and, behold, he drinketh; but he awaketh, and, behold, he is faint, and his soul hath appetite.

It's been over two months, and I can't let go of my regret, sharp and bitter. Why didn't I visit the Jelly Belly factory when I was in San Francisco?

I bought a bag at an outlet store. Five dollars for two pounds. But there were only a dozen flavors, and none of my favorites. I haven't even finished the bag. It's like a cruel joke.

I went to a wedding about a month ago, and Jelly Bellies were handed out as party favors. It was like living out a fantasy--but it only lasted the night. They were gone so quickly...

And so my fevered brain resorts to the dream world in a vain attempt to sate the exquisite hunger for those perfect little candies.

I am in a store... I see shelf upon shelf of Jelly Bellies...there are so many flavors...every flavor... They are on sale--what joy! ... I agonize over what to buy, which are my favorite, which will go best together? ... I choose carefully, conscious of my finances, prudent as always... But there are so many! And so many sales! ... I have chosen, I have bags...filled with the perfect selections... I still cannot believe my fortune...

And then I wake up.
