  • as we’ve lost one of the truly most influential american artists today –

    i think we should all http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RsVLIiI8Vfo
    or perhaps if we were nicer to our fellow humans – perhaps a little less

    h is studying for two exams. i am keeping her company, for as long as i can, by amusing myself in prose. a few days ago i realized i could no longer get the completely fake yet somehow deliciously satisfying chocolate dipped ice cream cone at ‘mcd’s’. no, i don’t want to know how they are made. i am saddened by this loss, but am slowly coming to grips with it. besides egg white mcmuffins with one side of the english mcmuff removed, i find there is simply no other reason to go ‘mcd’s’. tonight after circling for parking for 30 minutes outside our humble abode i decided to go to the nearest ‘mcd’s’ to acquire a treat to relieve what had become my fully vested parking induced aggravational mind frame. knowing full well that when i returned to our simple but quite hip happening and popular street the parking gods would provide me, fully satiated with an artificially orchestrated soft serve ice cream sans chocolate dip cone, with a space adequate to park ‘the beast.’ i had summoned the courage to question the highly cultured cashier at ‘mcd’s’ and had asked as calmly as possible – ‘why, why no more 170 calorie totally fake chocolate dipped ice cream cones?’. ‘seasonal’ – i was told. damn – go figure, but the good news – they’ll be back next year. i ate that sucker as i drove home and i sashayed the beast into a space a block and a bit away from our dwelling and darn near walked off those 170 fake calories.
    tomorrow i plan on asking starbucks why they stopped selling blueberry and strawberry yogurt – now they only have greek with honey. i mean i’m greek, but greek yogurt sucks. i would much rather plan on being part chocolate someday.
