Okay, so altoids introduces a new candy and shoves it down those mini-aisles that entangle the checkout area. The candy looks innocent enough, surely, as you can see below:

Yup, a perfectly innocent candy treat, right? Yeah, until you open it:

You see, apparently it is now legal to package, distribute, and sell sour crack conviniently placed near your checkout lane. Mmmm, crack.

Pepsi Blue is the most tasty beverage I’ve had in a long time. Seriously. For some reason someone in Ohio mailed me twelve bottles and I’m quite glad they did. The stuff won’t hit the shelves until August 5th and I now realize I must ration my 10 remaining bottles so I don’t run out before then.

Try it, really, once it comes out. You won’t regret the greatalicious flavor. (It tastes, I should mention, like blue. If you ever freebased blue, it would be this.)

Mmmmm.

maybe i’m just weird

We all get angry at one point or another — sure, the things that upset each of us vary, but there’s something that’s guaranteed to tick off each and every one of us.

The thing that bothers me above all else — and bear with me here, because I’m not sure if this happens to other people — is when I’ll get pissed off about something in particular… then, while still being pissed, forget completely WHY I originally got pissed off. It just bothers me beyond all belief that I HAVE a good reason to be ticked off, but just can’t remember it.

So, really, does this happen to anyone but me?

I like to think that, for some reason, small events often set the mood for occassions. A subtle joke, a passing animal, a strange looking local freak… whatever. Sometimes you can just see something and say ‘okay, I know exactly how this weekend is going to go.’

This weekend I went on a trip with some friends of mine, including my soon-to-be-school-roommate Brian. On our way to Destination Ohio by car (anywhere from a 5 to, sadly, 9 hour ride) we stopped at one of Indiana’s beautiful and scenic rest stops for lunch.

I take a look to my left, and immediately, I know exactly how this weekend is going to go. This is what pulled up:

Yeah. That’s the stuff.
