The hot water in the building is still fucked up.
(Made a switch from oil to natgas, but there seem to be "issues")
My recent acquired bottom braces are annoying the fuck out of me
My Insomnia has kicked into high gear. Wooo hoooo!
I know about the clocks and window dressing so time stays sort of err "static"?
I wonder what effect it would have on me, being that I am not a gambler. Would
it make me more inclined to gamble, would I just veg and enjoy, or
would I just get
antsy, up and leave?
Alas, the shoprite music that is supposed to relax me and make me shop more
generall annoys the fuck outa me. They ought use some of that over oxygenated
air there. It's one of the few places I like shopping, at least don't
annoy me with crappy
ass music.
Tiredly Yours,
Me

Competition is a barbaric, insensitive ritual that reeks of social Darwinism.
We cannot allow the fittest to survive on our pages. Your loss is someone
else's gain, and your gain is someone else's loss. Therefore, losers contribute
to the society and winners take away from it. Being a winner is
unethical, while
a society of losers is happy and striving as a collective. In the
spirit of diversity,
inclusiveness, and collectivism our contests shall have no winners.
Everyone is declared a loser, which in our book means an ethical team player.
