But, in all honesty, the barn party was a lot of fun and your presence put it over the top. And I mean OVER THE TOP! We were maybe three, four hundred miles over the top. The top wasn't even in sight anymore. People would look down and say "Can you believe way down there is the top? It's so small--it's like it doesn't exist!" And pretty soon we didn't think of the top at all.
The top on the other hand grew angry after being so easily forgotten, and joined up with the middle and the bottom and together they made plans on how they could reek havoc on the entire human race and regain their rightful place in the minds of men. So, I guess thanks to you there's gonna be a lot of crazy coming pretty soon. |

It wasn't so much that he was naked, or even that he was walking downtown -- it was that darn eye patch! Who do you think you are -- a naked pirate?! Your lack of depth perception is an illustration of your lack of character.

Are there any famous dolphin experts?
How about Kethleen Dudsinski?
Yeah. Yeah, she's pretty good.
I should write a biography on her. The Porpoise Driven Life. How about My World as Sea World: The Kathleen Dudsinski Story. That's really good.
Is she dead? No. Then there's no hope in this thing selling.
Does she say anything cool about dolphins?
"We've also seen groups of individuals that will form pairs or triplets or groups of four dolphins, all sort of in this big gang war, going after each other, fighting and fighting and fighting."
A gang of dolphins! Maybe I could write a book about that -- about two different gangs. One will call themselves "The Dolphins" and the other will be "The Planes." Maybe it oculd be a type of Romeo and Juliet adaptation. But underwater. And it's a musical, too. Yeah, this is really good.
Caucasion, Cetacean, and Tax Evasion: The Life and Times of Kathleen Dudsinski.
Alright. Yeah. This is coming together real nicely. |

I would like to apologize for being so frank about colon cancer in my last post. I wish I could claim that I was just being funny, but let's be honest, that was borderline insensitive.
But the truth of the matter is that my grandfather was just diagnosed with the horrible ailment that is colon cancer. So I guess you could say I was writing a piece in hopes of relieving the pangs a person feels when they first hear that a loved one has cancer. And it doesn't help that the colon cancer service announcements are bad, too. Not only do people have to suffer through this terrible disease, but any television watching American has to suffer through these equally terrible commercials.
But the truth of the matter is that my grandfather's illness didn't consequently inspire me to write that last piece. In fact, the moment of creation came while I was in my English class, listening to the teacher lecture, where he said, and I quote, "I don' t like colons." But who would? The last time I saw a sack of poo it was on Old Man Tennyson's porch, lit on fire while my friends and I hid behind a bush watching him stomp it out with his bare foot.
But the truth of the matter is that I already have conceived an idea for my next post, and it is going to prove to be another example of my insensitivity to sufferings of the entire human race, so I hope that this apology will be sufficient in excusing my behavior for every post to come.
Thank you.

Don't get me wrong - apostrophes, in their time, were a grand time saving invention, and considered revolutionary when they first were introduced to the language in the 17th century. But this is the 21st century, and new advancements must be made! The last known improvement was the tilde, and look what good that did us! And, come on, the irony mark
I've been trying my best to direct you, my noble readers, to the use of a more enriched english. But these attempts have only given you access to the unknown secrets of our own language.
It's time we take it a step further.
I have decided that being restricted to the use of one apostrophe per group of words that can be apostrophized (is that a word? It is now - start using it unceasingly, readers!) has gone on for too long! So I bestow upon you, gentle reader, the "double apostrophe!"
Let me give you an example.
Sentence: "I would not have gone to my cousin's funeral if they did not have the complimentary mints."
Instead of only being allowed to contract would not, we are now liberated from such friviolous restrictions, and able to write a more beautiful, shorter (in size) sentence:
"I would'nt've gone to my cousin's funeral if they didn't've the complimentary mints."
Not only does it look beautiful, it sounds beautiful, too. Go ahead, let it just roll off your tongue.
I expect this to be the next rage in college papers and modern literature.
Think smart, America. |

The fact that people actually say "It's time to let the cat out of the bag," leads me to believe that at one time, lots of people were actually putting cats in bags.
ROLAND: Do you have a pen Charlene?
CHARLENE: Sure, in my purse. Just hang on a minute. (She rumages through her purse. An obnoxious cat's meow is heard.)
ROLAND: Oh, oh my, Charlene, I think it's time to let the cat out of the bag.
CHARLENE: (She closes her purse and hands Roland a pen) No...no, not yet. |

I have good news, America! As I was looking up the word capricious in the dictionary the other day, I found that the wonderful individuals behind the Marriam-Webster corporation have finally included capri pants in the dictionary. But wait -- the news only gets better: I had to then look up the word eurythmics, and as I ambled through the vast hallway that is alphabatized words, I stumbled upon the entry el cheapo. The best part of all is that el cheapo isn't considered slang, but instead regarded as the beautiful adjective that it is! America, it is time to embrace our new language! Come on, hug these words -- it won't be awkward -- we'll make sure to keep it strictly platonic. I expect each and every one of you to use these words in your day to day vocabulary, and even more, use them in your college essays, or else you should reconsider calling yourself an American. This is our future, and let's enjoy making it our past. |

Forget pick-pocketing! Pocket Picking is where it's at!
Instead of taking things out of people's pockets, you just take the pockets right off their pants!
Right now, I have a collection of 432 pockets, which I'm planning to sew into a pair of "pocket pants."
One time, I got so into it, I tore off somebodie's entire pair of pants.
I blame the victim - he should have been wearing underwear! |

Forget sincere hugging! Extreme hugging is where it's at!
Extreme hugging is the new sport that is taking the world by storm! The goal is to hug as many people as you can in thirty seconds.
Extra points are awarded for two-pats, rubs, and any other variations of the standard hug.
I have a personal record of two-hundred hugs within the thirty second time limit. I was penalized for putting two girls in a coma, which lost me a few points.
I blame the contestants - they should be wearing helmets. |

So true, so true. It reminds me of that one time at my grandma's house when my sister said to me "Tell us a story." So I thought for a second and said, "I'll tell you the story 'Little Jimmy Leaves Home.'"
So I started, "It was just another August day, and Little Jimmy decided to leave home. The end."
So, I don't know where I'm trying to go with this, so someone else take it. Just leave a comment that finishes the story. |

"Just Because It Sounds Like Poetry Doesn't Mean It Is"
It was...
yesterday...
the old porcelein must celebrate the wet dirt
(it is that time of year, again)
green dog and soft glass needle
fly
into the tempurpedic pavement.
It's all
candy poetry
and
ghost kisses
"Feed me, feed me!"
cries the giant apple
to the hungry sinners.
This red ferocious secret squirms into life:
The ironic truth is that Juiceman
is, in fact, a mattress,
and a female one at that.
Hands come in handy,
especially when you have no feet!
My opposable thumbs
seem to oppose nothing now-a-days but the
recent war in Iraq.
Change the melting courdoroy window:
it's broken.
The coffee trees are upset
because Mr. Coffee(TM) keeps
grinding all their children.
Hear me:
Speak words as if morning breath
to a newborn baby
and question the poison marble champagne.
Listen closer yet:
The decaying translucent man
wears velvet universe perfume.
Yes,
Abraham Lincoln will kill again. |

(A conversation with my boss that I had today, after he saw me bringing home a piece of Lorraine Swiss cheese in order to take a picture of it.)
BOSS: What do you got there?
ADAM: A piece of Lorraine Swiss.
BOSS: What the heck are you going to do with only one peice of cheese?!
ADAM: Well, it looks really cool today, and I think it would make a cool picture. After I photograph it I'm gonna eat it.
BOSS: Oh, well, that makes some sense. But, do this for me: before you eat it, look at it for a while, change the angles, squint your eyes - whatever you have to do - and see if there's something in there, like a picture of Jesus or something.
ADAM: And then we could sell it on eBay!
BOSS: We'll split the profit 50/50.
ADAM: (eye-ing his boss) 60/40.
BOSS: Did you pay for that cheese?
ADAM: (still eye-ing his boss) 50/50 it is. |

Why do I sweat so much?
Why did they make it hard to put pants on when you have shoes on?
Maybe if I didn't have pants on I wouldn't sweat so much.
Do I have pants on?
Is the oven on?
Are my pants in the oven?
What type of casserole am I making anyway?
Maybe I should go outside.
Maybe then I wouldn't sweat so much.
Maybe I should put pants on first. |

After being informed that my journal inspires subtle side effects, such as nausea, diarrhea, and suicidal thoughts, I would like to aplogize. It seems that for every 14 people that enjoy my writings, 35 experience side effects. Not a good ratio if you ask me (but not a bad one in comparison to many [illegal] drugs). To explain my behavior, odd mentality, and the sudden switch between comedic to wanna-be (see: bad) poetry, I will quote the famous Chinese proverb:
"Sometimes I feel like a nut...sometimes I don't."
I hope this has cleared up any harsh feelings, and we can all get along now.

I heard the stars whispering last night.
They were talking about me,
and saying they could tell I was hurting inside.
One made a joke about hurting more than nuclear fusion.
Alpha Centurai laughed so hard he nearly super nova'd.
The conversation eventually led to asking if someone in the sombrero galaxy was still selling baby planets,
and something about a new laundro-mat opening in the horse head nebula.
And then there was silence,
and the stars have since forgotten about me. |
