just read a Facebook share about a mom who bought her son a new iphone but she had a thousand rules about how he should use it like "I will always know the password" and he should never take it out and use it in public i think she forgot one rule to tell him that was "please don't use it to kill yourself, like swallow it or stick it in an orifice and set it on fire when you find out that your mother is overparenting you."

0106 rhyming 00:38
i don't wanna rhyme anymore cos rhyming just makes my head sore (dammit) I'll just have to end my lines with words like "problem" or "sandwich" or "glimpsed" i don't wanna rhyme anymore cos rhyming just makes my head ache

12.
as I was driving around in Chicago i noticed a very strange thing i noticed how easy it was to get a parking ticket and how much easier it was to pay it it's a conflict of interest they seem to want us to break the rules that they had made it seemed strange and as i drove around the city i realized it was in the best interest of the city that we all broke the rules we had to break the rules if we didn't, they wouldn't get paid (well i realize that they have other sources of income like taxes and stuff, but at 20-50 dollars per ticket?? that's.. that would be bad if no one broke the law.. it would be bad for them)
13.
you know, Colin.. every time someone realizes the game is rigged a dead anarchist gets their wings
14.
here is a belated New Year's resolution here it goes: I think I imitate my friends behind their backs too much. I do impressions of them just for fun but I don't think that's cool. No, I don't think that's cool, so I'm gonna stop doing impressions of my friends. I'm sorry I don't think I would like it if it was done to me, so according to the Golden Rule I'm gonna stop.
15.

you seem to know more than I know but you don't you just have a skill that I don't and that's the ability to conduct any conversation to the subject of something that you yourself have studied and I don't think that's fair because we all have our areas of expertise and it sucks that people like you swing the conversation to your wheelhouse but we're not going to resist because we are okay with learning something and not taking center stage like you do

the funny thing about chickens is that everything about chickens is funny. They look funny, sound funny, walk funny, run funny, eat funny, the word "chicken" is funny. What's really hilarious is when they try running and slip on ice. Wings fly everywhere and they make a great surprised sound. The only thing not funny about a chicken is the egg. Those are seriously delicious.

And why so chewy? It was then at that very moment I realized that Someone had put their chewed gum into the chip bowl Despite the fact that one good chip remained within I can still taste it today I hate you, gum Gum, From now on you and I are enemies This is war... gum.
