Pit Fro.

My crazy hus said something about having afro-type pit hairs as opposed to stringy branch pit hairs.
I think most people's pit hairs are the latter though.

I made myself a salad, and I made myself eat it.
I knew that many of the ingredients would be turning soon, and if I didn't eat them then I was no better than my Son, who throws food away like a true American.
And I will be Gad Dagged if I am going to let myself turn into my Son.
The salad was a success and now my belly is full (which I am thankful for) AND my conscience is cleared because I didn't waste my money on salad I didn't eat.

The massive block in the gulf didn't work.
Icy crystals!
But do people even care about that boring oil leak anymore?
Oh really? You DO!?
Well then what are we supposed to do about it?
I need some type of color coded product to buy in order to show my "support" for the Gulf Oil Disaster.
Preferably it would match my "Haiti" merchandise, and be a petroleum based product.

Al of our tools for a better future are being closeted or co opted for commercial gain and it makes me sick.

I don't know, the results are not all yet in.
I have a lot to ponder.

I have the day off.
I woke up this morning and it was snowing lightly.
T and I have been trying to be different.
Trying to break apart habits that we have with each other.
These would be what we would call "bad" habits.
It's hard though right? I mean, you get used to things the way they are sometimes... even if you don't like the way that things are all the time. I mean, you have only have so much time in the day and sometimes you have to think about other things before you can think about yourself and your stupid problems right?
Examples would be work, school, direction in life, groceries, laundry, free time, drawing, driving and commuting...
Well you can see the list is stretching on and on with no end in sight, and this is all in ONE day! So what are you supposed to do?
How do you change the way you act when you can't change the rest of your environment?
When you have the same surroundings all the time, it is easy to fall into roles and habits and I don't understand how, if your environment stays the same, you can be expected to change?
If the things you want to change are internal, but you have constant external re-enforcement, it makes it very difficult to be a different person.
It is something you have to really want. You really have to work on it, all the time! It is gradual and slow like an ice berg.
I know that this isn't the same, but listen to this...
There is this vintage men's shop near my house and even though I like the clothes, I can't picture ever wearing them because that would require me to change, and to change takes time, and time is precious and it is hard to set time aside to change when you have to do all that other stuff as well.
I can't just start to suddenly wear a new outfit, partly because I don't have the money, but also because I have too many external enforcers that would get in the way.
So there is no leather jacket in my future, no fancy slacks, no expensive shirts.
I am the way I am.
Whether I like it or not.
lovematthew
