thing 1: I really like McChicken sandwiches (no lettuce). I think that’s partially because there’s chicken there, but it’s also just great to say, “McChicken.” It’s the American food. It’s the peoples’ food. Yessir.
thing 2: I’m not sure what to think of those bell-ringers who pop up this time of year. They seem like they’re doing a good thing, but it also seems like the majority of them hate it. Which makes you wonder; because you would think if they wanted money from you, they’d be nice to you, or possibly civil? I know that not all of them are like that, but some.
thing 3: Why do Wal-Mart and McDonalds both think it so necessary to cater to the every whim of the elderly? Wal-Mart has endless rows of handicapped spaces in every parking lot (yes, I know that not every handicapped person is elderly and not every elderly person is http://www.troakley.com/ handicapped, but it certainly seems like it), forcing those who aren’t lucky enough to be blessed with the blue tag to walk miles to get to their store. McDonalds has actually re-introduced segregation in their separate seating sections (at least at the one in Point) for the elderly. This could be advantageous in that it keeps them out of my sight, but then they’re still sitting everywhere else too. Perhaps the entire place should be segregated, between: high school punks, college students with water as a beverage, miscellaneous loud-talking people, people who sit by themselves and take the whole newspaper, and finally, the elderly.
thing 4: I worry a little about losing two people who are/were very close friends of mine. Both are about my age. One goes to school with me…or, I should say, goes to the same school as I do, while the other still lives in the same town as our high school. I went to high school cheap oakleys with both of these people (and elementary school with one of them), but it just seems like we’ve grown apart and it’s just been impossible to bring them back. I’m not saying that I’m unhappy with the friends I have, it’s just that it feels as though I’m losing them, and I’m pretty frustrated in that all my efforts to reconnect have been shot down.
thing 5: I can’t remember what thing 5 was. I had it in my head on the walk over, but it vanished not long after arriving. I could state some miscellaneous thoughts. My knee hurts. I’m not sick anymore, really. I wonder what’s up with Strong Bad this week? I wonder if anyone’s actually reading this besides me? We watched Along Came a Spider, Goldmember, and Enough over the weekend, and those were all good. I wish someone would email me. I’m tired now.
