More thoughts I should keep to myself

George Carlin is dead.  I am fairly confident that wherever his spirit is, he’s having more fun now than we did.  Unless he was reincarnated, but that’s a whole other discussion.

I just finished talking to my parents again.  I have to call them once a week or they panic, despite the fact that my current living situation doesn’t really place me in any frequent peril.  Every week it’s the same story:  Mom’s not happy and Dad is only part of the reason why.  Somebody’s sick, somebody’s dead, somebody is going to jail.  Considering that they live in an extremely rural area, you wouldn’t think there would be that much to report.

My mom can’t understand why people “won’t do what they’re supposed to do”.  I’d love to answer you, dear, but that’s a question that even the greatest philosophers haven’t been able to work out.  If I was doing whatever it is I’m supposed to do, I probably wouldn’t be X0 pounds overweight.  I might even have a car.  I might even be happy more often.

I’m writing this in Opera.  Firefox 3 is great, but it strangles my system when I close it or restart it.  I haven’t figured out exactly why yet (and frequent search engine queries haven’t put me much closer to an answer), but I think it has something to do with either AVG 8 or the alignment of the planets.  Or maybe it’s just another case of me not doing what I’m supposed to do.

Back to work tomorrow.  8 hours of observing the foolishness of others.  I was thinking about buying a phone to replace the one that I smashed in a fit of insanity a couple of weeks ago.
