• When you drop sonething & you have injured ribs, the 2nd thought you have after you think "*bleep*" is "do I really need that any more?" #
• When you drop something & you have injured ribs, the 2nd thought you have after you think "*bleep*" is "do I really need that anymore?" #
• My *bleep* would have been filled with "oh, man" on a good day. Insert your own colorful expression as you feel fits you. #
• This men's room has no urinal. I had to go out and check the sign to make sure I wasn't in the wrong one. #
• Are you a CEO of something? http://tinyurl.com/yj7kapv #
• This shower gives you either burning hot or ice cold water unless you can find that tiny 1 mm spot slightly off-center where warm is. #
• You'd think that websites, especially social media websites, with a separate blog, would have a link back to their website from their blog. #
• Apparently I just bought some canned tuna just to remind myself why I don't buy canned tuna very often. #
• Next time someone criticizes you for calling a restroom with no bath a bathroom, ask them how often they rested in their restroom. #
• "No man will make a great leader who wants to do it all himself, or to get all the credit for doing it." ~ Andrew Carnegie #

• When your vehicle breaks down & you have to walk a mile to get somewhere, a once quiet street fills with cars just to taunt you. #
• Out of order. #
• Maybe my truck breaking down and me re-injuring my ribs in the same week is God's way of saying "stay home; get some rest." #
• RT @Mary_Jaksch How to Embark on a Spiritual Journey http://is.gd/71b88 #
• I've never understood why people would want to eat leaves or boil them and drink the results. Tastes nasty to me. #tea #spinach #yuck #
• Sometimes a play dumb, but I am always watching. I do notice when people try to take advantage of me or ruin something. I just don't say it. #
• The question is not whether I notice when people are trying to take advantage or sabatoge me. I do. The question is what to do about it. #
• And sometimes a make a typo that can't be fixed because you can't edit a Twitter post. #
• To those wondering: if you are taking advantage of or sabatoging me, yes those posts apply to you. If not, then they don't apply to you. #
• Sometimes I think I am too honest for my own good. Then I think of all the times when people have helped me because they trust in me. #
• When you have fallen, there are people who judge you, people who feel sorry for you, & real friends who help you get up again. #
• You know you have the right woman, when you can tell her the good, the bad & the ugly, and she still loves you & supports you. #
• I wish all of my tweets (Twitter posts) made it to Facebook, not just some of them. Random posts seem to not get there. #
• Have I personally offended the gods in some way? I hope all the problems are preparing me for a better future, 'cus right now this sucks. #
• I'm starting to thing Houston winter weather is schizophrenic, with its radical mood swings, er, I mean temp. changes. #
• Noticing that many people who want to help, can't or shouldn't, and many people who can help, won't or don't. #
• I just locked all my keys in the truck while getting something out of it. After midnight. And its 35 outside. And windy. *bleep* #
• One hour later, still locked outside in 35 degree weather. Everyone too far away, too busy or doesn't answer. Phone almost dead. #
• "The rumors of my death have been greatly exaggerated" — Mark Twain #
• Hours later, thanks to a 24 hour locksmith, I was able to get in, but by then my phone was all but dead with no way to recharge. #
• So I only spent part of the nite outside in the cold, not the whole nite. Locksmith charged $100 & took less than a minute to pop the lock. #
• It's officially too cold in your home when the drinks outside your fridge are colder than the ones inside the fridge. Heater not working. #
• You know you're having a bad week when your truck breaks down, you injure your ribs, get locked out of your home & your heater doesn't work. #
• 2009 was a bad year. Don't follow me into 2010. *beats 2009 back with a stick* #

The Man with the Dreadlocks

// January 26th, 2010 // No Comments » // Observations

Yesterday I was in the McDonald’s drinking my McCafé & using their free wi-fi, when a man with dreadlocks walks up to the condiment table to get some items, which happened to be right next to where I was sitting. The movement caught my eye, I glanced over briefly, then looked back at my laptop to continue checking my e-mail.

He notices me glancing over and calls to get my attention, loudly proclaiming “I bet you’ve never seen a man like me before.”

I look back at him, look him over quickly, and reply with a smile that “actually I have a friend who used to have dreadlocks.”

He tells me he’s a Rasta man and he is growing out his dreads, and doesn’t believe in paying someone $100 to give him dreads. I tell him that’s cool and wish him luck.

He turns to walk away, and I could tell I made him think a bit. See, he thought he was going to chastize me for judging him, but instead he was stereotyping & judging me.
