Ten random observations/questions by a beloved misanthropist:
01. People who read People magazine are the lowest common denominator of all other people.
02. Mercaptopurine, the medication I recently began a regiment of versus ulcerative colitis, is an immunosuppressive drug used to treat leukemia (cancer of the blood or bone marrow). In testing on mice (a practice I am not altogether comfortable with, for the record), the chromosomes changed by Mercaptopurine caused lethal mutations. So, Mercaptopurine is used to treat cancer, and can potentially also cause it.
03. If I am ever in a plane, train or automobile crash, I hope I’m listening to either Meshuggah or Slayer at the time of said collision.
04. If I had the means (and a spare cadaver), I would direct a commercial that featured a stuffed human on the dinner table at Thanksgiving, and likewise pay for prominent airtime. Maybe during the commercial, the protagonist could be seen inserting stuffing into the cadaver’s rectum.
05. This AM on the train I saw an elderly woman Google something on her Blackberry and then proceed to knit what appeared to be either a shawl or a blanket.
06. Although it’s been said that being misunderstood is the sign of a genius, I often feel misunderstood and am most definitely not a mastermind.
07. It’s probably better for me to keep my mouth shut when people ask me what I’m doing for the holidays, or wish me a happy Xgiving or Xmas.
08. I wish I didn’t always feel the strong urge to be ethical about everything I do in this life. I don’t necessarily think of myself as being overtly noble, and I would liken the stress and mental anguish I bring on myself to a significant curse of sorts.
09. Fiscal box office reports and weekend movie studio estimates are not news. Furthermore, anyone that goes to movie based on it’s monetary factoids is literally a tool.
10. “Black Friday” would be a lot cooler if N.W.A. was (loudly) piped through the PA systems at all shopping facilities nationwide.
