Ugg Boot are just Ugg -ly....get it!?!




I hate Ugg boots. Unless you are dressing up to be pocahontas for Holloween or live where it is always cold and there is no access to socks and normal looking shoes, then and only then is it ok. The stupid things are expensive and unnecessary. When in Texas does it ever get so cold you need extra calf warming? No one would possibly buy these things for fashion. Look at the boots above. There is rubber, leather and fake fur all on one boot. That a smorgasbord of ugly.

At one point I had a lot of good stuff for why I hate them but I forgot all of those reasons and am left not caring anymore.

The Slow Times

June is supposed to be our slow time of the year. I should be able to come into work late and leave early. I dont really have any plans to take a vacation and skip out for a week so instead I am just going to coast for then entire month of June. So far its been great. I leave at 5 everyday and go hang out with Amy.

The only flaw to my plan is that things aren't slow here. Not at all. Which makes taking it easy and just relaxing through the day quite difficult. In fact its just made me a lazy worker and that sucks. So much for my quite June.

In other news, does anyone else ever delete messages from people you dont want to deal with hoping that they will just go away? The never do.

Just Keep it to yourself

Until last week I was eating in a state of blissful ignorance and it was wonderful. You may not have known this but I will go ahead and enlighten you. Somebody somewhere did a special on TV about a study that was done by someone else about how no one washes the lemons that are cut up and used to flavor your tap water at a restaurant. Apparently they run these lemons through the trash before they cut them up and stick them in my ice tea or water and people are getting sick from them.

Its kind of ridiculous because I am the type of guy who would normally do the 5 second rule on just about any food but for some reason now I cant enjoy my drink with a lemon in it. My mind starts to imagine crazy things that could be on the lemon and ever since Nick gave me the amazing talk about just how long it takes bacteria to grow on most of our food I dont eat leftovers either.

So I just wanted to give a big thanks to nick and Gi for ruining the small things in life that I enjoyed.

Anyone else have anything to add?
