So I’m leaving work yesterday at my usual time of 4:30 or so, and I head into the garage to pay for my ticket. When you work at a hospital such as Johns Hopkins, you’re bound to see things that you wouldn’t normally see. People with knives jammed in their faces. Someone missing a leg. Even the random drunk guy having an episode with the valet dude outside the Outpatient Center isn’t uncommon. I generally don’t notice these things any more, but there is one monstrosity I can’t help but notice: people who should NOT be wearing spandex.
Let me just preface this by saying that I am a HUGE fan of self-confidence. There is NOTHING wrong with someone being a bigger size. I’m no size 0 (hell, I’m so stoked that I FINALLY have a dress and a pair of jeans that are a size 8 that fit me), so I really don’t go out of my way to criticize what other people wear. Unless, of course, it is inflicting pain on me and practically making my eyes bleed. Which brings us to this:
Why? Seriously, WHY? Do people just not have mirrors or do they not care what they are doing to others? I find myself standing in front of a full-length mirror, practically with stadium lights on me pointing out every flaw before I leave the house. This isn’t self-confidence, this is proof that some people just hate the world so much that they have to put everyone else in pain. AUGH.
I mean, I took this picture and promptly texted it to my friend, Nick, who always has something quick-witted to say about anything like this. Nick generally only takes a few minutes to respond to my texts, but I did not hear back from him at all. I’m assuming he may be dead because he died of shock or from bleeding when he gauged his eyes out.
In other random news, the Detroit Lions won their second game on Sunday against the Cleveland Browns. My good friend, Greg, (who tries to demand that I call him Dr. Greg, but I just end up calling him Dr. Faggot/Dr. Douchebag) is from the Detroit area, and was trying to figure out the best way to express the TWO wins.
We decided that the “hook-em” horns was the best non-traditional way. He displays it here, while sitting at the bar.
He’s just hoping this doesn’t mean they actually start winning and lose their guaranteed top-5 draft pick in 2010.
Just to update: I did not need to worry about losing that top-5 pick. Two wins is all the Lions’ fans get this year, but it’s two wins more than last year. Two wins, #2 overall pick… hook ‘em Lions!
