I was going to write a post about how I'm hungry and the new Farm Fresh grocery store and stuff like that... then I realized how shallow it sounded.
There are people out there who go to sleep hungry and wake up hungry and stay hungry in between and to gripe that I'm not eating enough... it's just wrong.

I hate these stupid moments, introspective and responsible thoughts.

I want to be shallow.  I want to be able to walk past a homeless person and not see them.  I want to not feel guilty when I don't give them money.  It should be easy enough... I see it every day, people doing that.

Gah.
I dunno.
I need coffee.
I'm going in to work today at eleven, two and a half hours later than I've gotten used to- so my body is still on the other schedule.  I should go back to bed, but that wouldn't be "responsible."
I need to shave.  My aunt's book group is going to have a meeting at the store and I'm going to show them some titles, Betsy Carter's Swim To Me is at the top of my list.
And mmmmaybe Brian Keene's The Dead Sea, as a bit of local interest.

Well said, brother. I look at all the shallow and stupid people around me and how happy they are, and how miserable smart people or people conscious of their environment and morals are, and almost want to sign up for a voluntary lobotomy. It would be so much easier.

I've noticed that here, where we have a lot of homeless people, the ones giving them fifty cents or a dollar are generally blue collar workers, students, those kinds of people, and the ones that ignore them completely are the rich snobs of San Francisco or the wealthy tourists, not even looking a homeless man in the eye as they stroll down Powell Street with their Armani shopping bags and Louis Vuitton purses. It's sick.
