I continue to be unimpressed with the lunatics that wander around screaming in Rockland, Massachusetts, the town in which I reside. My windows are open whenever possible, I spend a good amount of time walking and doing things out in the world. Here are some things I’ve heard:
I was commissioned to paint a utility box for the town. While painting this morning somebody drove by honking, rolled down their window, and shouted, “faggot!” There was no one else around, so it’s safe to assume that they were addressing me. Classy Move.
While laying in bed some barbarian was walking down the street with his friend. The friend wasn’t speaking audibly. The moron I could hear was loudly shouting at his friend, calling him or her names, peppered with vulgarities. I leaned over to my open window and yelled, “Language!” “Fuck you!” he replied.
One time I walked into a restroom in a bar and some tipsy local exclaimed loudly to his friend, “…and I’ll tell you what! She gave the best blowjob in Rockland!” It seemed inappropriate. It did get me thinking about Best Blowjobs. 🤔
I accidentally called my female neighbor Sir and she was offended and doesn’t like me very much. To her credit, the windows of my house are crowded with LED stands of light.
I forgot what I was talking about.
* I started this blog post 20 days ago. At the time it seemed clever and I thought I had a thought worth reading. Now, notsomuch.*
It’s last my bed time and I’m looking at this little computer in my hand. The reason I started writing a web log was to provide solace to my friends. I tend to issue verbose and sometimes inane SMS text messages to friends I regularly text with. At some point, with just about everyone, enough is enough. This was supposed to divert some of the madness and allow readers to make the willing choice to view the content. True, recipients of text messages do not have to view information sent. Sometimes they definitely don’t. So that was partial impetus.
This post is a bust. Initially I thought I’d be able to come up with a clever list as to absurd things I’ve heard people say. I’m sure there are more. People are ridiculous. So think about that and join in the fun. Loudly make preposterous observations and exclamations in public places, especially if it’s crowded and you are alone. Dream big.
