Since the crack ass of dawn at 0'dark 30 today I've just had a series of random thoughts. The impulse to stuff them away and ignore them like a normal person was beyond me. I suffer from lack of inner monologue. I honestly have to work extra hard not to say what I'm thinking. Actually I'm bullshitting, I am lazy. It's easier not to filter as much and say what you are thinking. At times it's liberating. Picture being able to tell someone that they're being a jackass to their face. While still visualizing, imagine the jackass kicking you in the stomach. That brings me to the next point, be prepared for the fall out of your lack of keeping your trap shut! When I was younger I didn't understand why girls always wanted to kick my ass. Now that I'm older I found ways to express myself without coming to blows:
1. Be nice nasty. It's not about what's being said, it's how you say it. "I'm not saying you're a whore. All I'm saying is that it is perceived that you have slutty tendencies. You have one too many pictures of penises on your Blackberry and you don't buy groceries anymore!"
2. Pretend like you are part of the moral police. "Is that where you want to be when Jesus comes?"
3. Honesty is the best policy. Often times we don't speak up because we think it's none of our business. Damn that! Tell the truth. "You are not wearing that dress! I can see you c-section scar, and when did you get shot?"
4. Take a karate class.
5. Agree to disagree. You can't convince the unconvincable. (it's a word now) Stupid is as stupid does. Cliche saying be-gating another cliche saying. Bumper stickers!
