No sins as long as there’s permission
And deception is the only felony
So never fuck nobody without telling me”

Owning a garden
Yea I have a garden. It’s not my nonna’s, it’s not some shitty home garden kit. It’s a bad-ass, green, all-sorts-of-food-n-shit garden!
You know what I did with it today? I went out and picked my spinach, my chives, and my parsley, and I made the most tasty omelet I’ve ever eaten. I even took a tomato, cut that shit into slices, and GARNISHED THAT MOTHERFUCKER.

Guidos
I have to commend Guidos on one aspect of their stereotypical persona.
They are incredibly polite! Many instances I find myself greeting a Guido at work, to which almost ALL of them take the time to form a full response. It’s rare to find this courtesy received from any other culture.
Example:
(Guido enters my place of employment)
Me: Hey, how are you today?
Guido: I’m great,...
The perfect getaway
Does’t it seem like the whole sweet world was manufactured for our wants and pleasures? Like if I were to turn my head - now don’t spoil it, don’t tell me - just to the right. Does the world shut down into some sort of time-stopping, power saving mode?

I'm ignoring you
BlackBerry Messenger has been getting to me lately. Some people think it’s ok to use at some sort of 24/7 instant messenger. If I’m not in the mood to talk, I’m not going to. Simple.
I remember when I was young, I would call my friend’s house to hang out. If they didn’t pick up, well fuck, that was that.
Now cell phones are one thing. If I didn’t want to...

Too many friends?
Is there such thing as too many friends? I find that when you try to be friendly with everyone you meet, these relationships get overwhelming.
The biggest problem I run into is when people don’t get along with eachother. Do I choose sides? Do I step back and not get involved? Do I stand UP and voice how I feel?
Most of my life I’ve chosen to step back, but then I see people I care...

Emotionally unavailable
So basically, I need to get my shit straight. No more “female connoisseur,” no more loafting while I watch my friends smoke drugs, no more making my life an open book. There are certain habits I perform for attention, and I’m turning them off. I’m becoming emotionally unavailable.
Try and crack me. I dare you.
