The Cult Of The Wavers

i got in!!! this is Wavin' Willie--a new jersey legend, you can read more about him here http://www.weirdnj.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=109&Itemid=28
The man who lives on Navasota just near 7th. might be a member of the same secret society. They wave at everyone who passes by. I think I have been accepted into the cult, as he waves at me every day as I ride my bike home around 5:10 pm. What I need to know is does he wave at everyone, or just me? what are the proper initiation procedures? Obviously I wave back. do I have to sit on my porch and wait for people? my apartment faces a parking lot so I am nervous I won't be able to reach that many people. Do I have to be on social security benefits in order to qualify?

Willie, if you are reading this please contact me on protocol.
Thank you.

Keep Off The Furniture Series

kindly get off your rocker, sir

"A rocking chair or rocker is a chair with two curved bands of wood (also know as rockers) attached to the bottom of the legs (one on the left two legs and one on the right two legs). This gives the chair contact with the floor at only two points granting the occupant the ability to rock back and forth by shifting his/her weight or pushing lightly with his/her feet. Many find rocking chairs soothing because of the gentle rocking. Rocking chairs are also comfortable because when one sits in one without rocking the chair automatically rocks backwards until the sitter's center of gravity is met thus granting the ergonomic benefit that the occupant is kept at a very unstressed position and angle."

It's A Reign Of Terror.

The Birth of Our Blog

Finally. A blog. A blog just for Lindsey and I. Since we both have always wanted a blog, but were a little reserved when it came to sharing our thoughts online for others to read...we decided to have a blog together. I know I feel a whole lot better having someone to actually blog with. This idea of a Lindsey Blog was brought up in a conversation with Stephanie Hall. And so, here it is everyone.

What's wrong with people these days?
This is a thought that runs through my mind at least once a day. A few days ago, I decided I needed to make a quick run to good ol' HEB over on E.7th and Pleasant Valley. Probably not the best thing to do at 7pm on a Saturday night, but too late. As I got out of my car and went to my trunk to grab my green reusable grocery bag, a lady with 2 small children asked me if I wanted some tamales. I said, "No, thanks. I don't have any money" meaning I didn't have any cash on me. About 15 minutes later, as I am coming out of the store with my bag of groceries on my way to me car, I see the same tamale lady with her kids in a cart standing right next to my car. Like, really close. I thought maybe they were looking inside it or something? No idea. Well, she realizes that I'm walking towards my car and she quickly passes by me. I look down and see something dripping from my car, forming a small puddle of yellow creeping slowly towards my feet. I realized that she had her child pee on my car. Pee on my car?! Are you kidding me? I was polite about not wanting any tamales and I get a stream of urine on my car? It's people like these that I worry about. Her is going to grow up thinking it's ok to pee on people's cars when they say no to you. How ridiculus. I couldn't believe it. Seriously. I was shocked.

Weather
I can't believe the weather right now. It's freezing. It's been freakin' cold all day. I wouldn't mind it as much if I didn't have to walk my puppy outside to potty 10 times a day. Brr. I wish it would just go away and the sun would come back. Normally, I'm a big fan of rain and clouds, but not when it's super cold.

My Goal
I've never really had resolutions for the new year. Maybe once, I decided I wouldn't eat any sweets for a year, but I think that lasted for a day, thanks to gummi worms. I don't really like resolutions, so I came up with a goal. Most people who know me, know that I have the diet of a 5 year old. Mac and Cheese, cereal, ham and provolone cheese with-mayo-only-please sandwiches, Ritz crackers, cookies, chocolate milk, peach yogurt, pretzels, etc. You get the idea. Well, I think it's time I broaden my horizons. For instance, last night at work, I tried a bunch of Chinese food I never would have tried before. I'm comfortable with my pork fried rice, but i had like 5 other things. It was all so delicious. I also tried dried pineapple, but it wasn't great. So, I can't say I don't like something without trying it. Phew. Kind of digging myself a hole, but what the heck?

It's a new semester. New classes. Same job. New friends. New blog. New goal. I suppose I will kid close by saying, the moral of the story is...to buy tamales or else you might get peed on.
