Ew…popped zits
You know what I realized? I never posted my MRI results…I should get on that…but first, I have to confess something that I’m rather ashamed of. Okay, brace yourself because things get quite graphic after here.
You’ve been warned.
Turn back now if you’re queasy…
Really, I mean it.
So I was in Starbucks the other day and I go to the bathroom to find a huge ZIT! It was pretty gross and discussing. But here’s the worst part.
Yeah…I popped it.
That’s not the worse part…
When it popped, all that gross stuff splattered all over the mirror…and I didn’t clean it up! I feel so bad…
(You know, there are moments when life gets too crazy and discouraging. I’ve learned to take small moments where I can see that life is still huge.)
(More random musings below, because things are still crazy…)
So Ted and I are walking toward the Physics building the other day and we strike up a conversation about the current interest rates in Japan and how the foreign market is having a stifling impact on the economy. When I turn and say to him, “You know, if I were ever be convicted of a crime, I think I’d want it to be extortion.”
Ted: Extortion? Why extortion?
Me: I dunno. I think it sounds cool. I mean think about it. “Mike Soh was indicted today for…(in a really sexy voice) extortion.”
Ted: Huh…I’ve always liked “blackmail” myself.
Me: Huh…what’s the difference between blackmail and extortion?
Ted: Hmm…we should look it up.
Me: Huh…
Ted: This is pretty sad. It’s like in Office Space where those guys had to look up “money laundering” in the dictionary.
Me: Well, I think if you want to commit a crime, you really should know what you’re doing. I mean, I don’t want to end up with like with “Conspiracy to commit littering” or something…although “conspiracy” sounds pretty cool too. I think I’d like to be a part of a conspiracy to commit something…not littering but…
Ted: Maybe get best of both worlds. “Conspiracy to commit extortion?”
Me: Nah…then it sounds like you wimped out and didn’t go through with it.
Ted: You’re right.
Me: And you know, extortion is really the kind of thing you want to do with other people. It’s more fun that way.
Ted: Yeah, you always want to be with other people when you commit a crime.
Me: Yeah…
So, yeah, let’s take a poll. If you were to be convicted of a crime, what crime would it be? Comment below.
Hmmmm…
I don’t know – I like obeying the law thank you very much
And I also like staying within the lines
I’d want it to be something I believed in where the law is wrong. For instance, I believe I have the right to cross the street wherever I please, and it’s my own fault if I get hit, of jaywalking would be alright with me. Also anything violating my liberties. I could be arrested for speaking my beliefs, or for peaceful protest. These days so many arrests are unconstitutional, and if I had to be arrested, I’d want it to be for enacting my rights.
I think I need to make it clear: I wouldn’t actually do this.
It’s like going to the airport and seeing airport security. You see the gun in the holster and I know it runs through everyone’s mind…”I think I could do it…” You don’t, but the point is that it runs through your mind.
So this another one of those…perhaps the question should be “if you could get away with something, what would it be?”
Eh….
