charlatan

I was so tired yesterday after work that I went to sleep at 8:15. I am such an old man.

I slept great until I was abruptly awakened by my roommates arguing (drunkenly) over the nutritional differences between beef, pork, and chicken. Also brought up was being Vegan and Vegitarian. That is one conversation I never thought I'd wake up to here.

The people at my work are walking examples of wisdom gained through age. I had a conversation with a fifty year old man this week that went like this:

Him: "You want to know why things are fucked up here?"
Me: "Yeah, tell me."
Him: "You want to know why shit is fucked up here?"
Me: "Tell me."
Him: "You wana know why shit is fucked up?"
Me: "..."
Him: "You want to know why?"
Me: "..."
Him: "Because it is."

After that converstion he turned and walked away revealing to me that the back of his pants and shirt were covered in a powder that I later found out was corn starch he poured down there to keep from chafing.

Ah, yes...I can't wait to get older and wiser.
