Stray Thoughts, batch nine

Age is just a number that represents age.

Sometimes you gotta make an egg to break an omelette. Look, the point is it couldn’t have been that important if you’re worried about whether some old Viking figure of speech still makes sense in today’s world.

Well, farewell. I hope you have a wonderful future together. See you in the past, as soon as this good-for-nothing time machine stops turning all my gerbils into useless gold!

Camera Update

I got a new cell phone as a birthday present from my brother. Starting today, i’m retiring the iPhone 3GS in favor of an iPhone 5S.

Stray Thoughts, batch eight

Feels strange waking up on a day the world was promised to end. My first thought is always cursory relief, followed by a slight sense of disappointment. There’s one less ancient mystery beyond the horizon now.

I wouldn’t necessarily call myself a Fabio fan, per se. It just sucks witnessing a superstar athlete go over the hill. What Kobe has been to basketball over the past decade, Fabio was for being really, really, ridiculously good looking. Sadly, he was never the same after that unfortunate bird incident.

You know what, i don’t appreciate your sudden defensive hostility toward my suggested talking picture. I didn’t even try to convince you. Not once did i employ the word “down” or the phrase “thought you were cool.” I consciously held back the nukes of persuasion whereas you headed directly for the flipping tables of refusal!

Stray Thoughts, batch seven

The usefulness of subject lines is whimsical, at best.

Rooting for the underdog between two evenly matched teams is emotionally disorienting and vocally exhausting!

Comma overusers: It might be helpful to write sentences without commas, then add them afterwards.

Stray Thoughts, batch six

I don’t want to be awake and i don’t want to be asleep. Where does that leave me?

When i was a kid, i thought backflips were the fastest mode of human transportation because that’s how ninjas traveled in movies.

Actions speak louder than words, but they lie louder too.

Stray Thoughts, batch five

Or are you trying to slow down your thoughts so you can outrun them?

I miss Sublime. We should assemble a dedicated Sublime cover band to tour the country. Then after five years or so, we’ll let ’em write new songs.

Has modern music become weird and gimmicky of its own accord, for the sake of broadening horizons? Or is it being compelled to evade expanding copyright space?

Camera Update

I got a new cell phone, or rather someone’s used phone after they got a newer phone. Starting today, or rather three months ago, i’m retiring the Samsung Beat SGH-t539 in favor of an iPhone 3GS.

Stray Thoughts, batch four

You’re only the best i’ve ever met. Before you, someone else was the best i’d ever met. I’m sure i’ll meet someone after you, too. (Forgive the misguided enthusiasm. It’s hard to be sure when letting go of these things.)

Sorry yo, i wasn’t expecting you to read that, much less respond. Sometimes i just want to jot down something on my mind, so i pick a random unresponsive person to write to. Just happened to be your turn.

Romance used to mean persistence. Now it means knowing when to give up and move on after trying once or twice. Courage and effort still count for something, but self-awareness and temperance count for more. As always, pop culture is a trailing indicator.

My people’s cultural identity is being overwritten by racing stripes. On their dang clothes!
