irony of greed

a man learns that if he cries into a particular cup, his tears will turn into pearls. he begins to think of ways to cry. the more wealth he obtains, the more he wants. his life is spent in self imposed sorrow for an intense greed-driven yearning for more wealth. at the end of his wasted life, he sits atop a mountain of pearls and sobs.... holding a knife in his hand and the body of his slain wife.

boys are mean

i've ran out of gas twice this week. Once on a major highway. Once on my uphill driveway.
My dad was not a happy camper. You would think that 22 is old enough to warrant getting out of that chewing. No sir.
course, Daddy was also the one to discover I had left my car running for literally hours. In one case all night long.

As if I would do that on purpose.

As if.


Boys will be boys. mean. they don't understand what it's like to be me.



It's as I told Chantell:
(Maybe) the smarter the girl, the smaller her "automobile-savvy- quotient"?!? It's what I tell myself anyway.
