Are you a stripper, do you not know what year it is, that it's still summer, or....?

Almost sunset

For people who have a professor that doesn't allow bathroom breaks?

NO! Hahaha

UGH! Don't join the military.

I think the military basically sucks.  For everyone who has a loved one out there somewhere, I hope they return, and with their sanity, too.  For those that have lost someone who was "serving our country," I'm very sorry for that.  I beg of you all, please do not let anyone you love enlist in the military, no matter what benefits and experiences they are promised.  I think the military kills everyone in some way.  

I am thinking about this because of these two men on the MAX this morning.  Not only did one of them personally insult me, but they were horribly loud and were shouting YES SIR at each other and talking about having been Marines.  When the announcement, "The doors are closing" played, the extra crazy guy said WELL THEN CLOSE THEM and it was just unnecessary.  He said to the woman he was sitting behind, "I like your earrings, they look good on you.  But I know you don't want to talk to me because I'm a white boy."  ....?

At this point I turned and glared at him.  The woman almost immediately moved to the next seat in front of her to get away from him.  He would not SHUT UP and stop YELLING so I turned and said, "Could you pipe down, please?"  But he continued, and it was really hard to be around.  So I moved and as I walked down the little steps, he made a rude comment about me.  I'm sorry, he's being extremely disruptive and has the nerve to say something to me?  

I caught myself.  I felt my temper flare and I resisted my natural urge to go back up the stairs and slap him in the face.  I always have to remind myself that it's not worth it.  But people like that guy make me hate people.  And given what they mentioned about having been Marines, and how they were addressing each other, I'm assuming they were veterans gone wacko.  They might have not been.  But how many of us know people that came back from "serving our country" who are now damaged people in some way?  Nightmares, missing limbs, crazy behavior, violent behavior, obsessive behavior......  And those are the people who were fortunate enough to come back.  

I'm not saying I don't support our troops.  I do support them.  I support them COMING HOME.  And not DYING or turning into a freakin' maniac.
