Domestic, Demographic, and Dark

It’s amazing how much crap you need in a house.  I keep realizing how understocked my house is.  Every time I try to do something I realize the tool that I need is no longer available and I need to buy it.  Things like a toilet brush, a plunger, a broom, garbage cans, coffee makers, and a closet.  I didn’t realize how much crap I’ve accumulated and taken for granted until now.  Occasionally I walk by a guy on the street with a homeless sign, and I think maybe I am too needy… I find a lot of my posts I’m ripping on the homeless, which can’t be very good for my karma.  It’s not nice to kick a guy when he’s down, but then I think well it’s not like he’ll ever read this…. Seriously though I’m going to stop, I don’t really want to sound like that big of an asshole.

So I watched a bum the other day ask a guy for change.  The guy said, I can help you out if you can tell me where such and such restaurant is.  The guy yells, “I DON’T KNOW!”  Like the guy asking for directions was asking too much, or like he didn’t have time for that.  I didn’t know what to think.  At first I thought it was messed up that the begger would be pissed, but then I thought some more.  Basically I think it’s okay to ask someone for change that looks like they might have change, but as a person with change to ask someone who looks familiar with the “streets” for directions is unethical.  Maybe it’s unreasonable to ask someone in that situation for anything.  I mean he already has nothing.  I don’t know.  I can’t imagine what that life must be like.  I have a hard enough time not having people to hang with all day, but if I didn’t have a place to stay, money for food, or a place to shower, I’d probably be pretty freakin’ unreasonable too.

I think my most popular blog post currently is about the six women every guy should date.  I’m thinking about writing about the six women every guy shouldn’t date.  Although, I can’t think of too many types of women that I would suggest not giving a try.  That also assumes like Men’s Health, that there is a way to thoroughly and wholly define a woman with two adjectives.  Not to mention everyone needs love sometime, right?  I read that there about 3.2 billion women and 3.3 billion men on the planet.  That means there are about 100,000,000 men on the planet that aren’t getting any love at all, or a lot of women with multiple partners.  Of course you have to figure some percentage of each of those are gay.  So maybe it all works out.  Maybe homosexuality is a necessity in order for the numbers of people being loved to be even between the sexes.  Not sure if there are more lesbians or more gay men.  It would have to be a lot more gay men for the numbers to work out.  Then there are prostitutes too, which I would think satisfy a significant amount of men.  I don’t know.  There’s a huge amount of very lonely, very unfulfilled people out there.  How shitty is that?

Well I’m in a dimly lit place in my mind right now, and I don’t really want to turn on the lights out of fear of something crazy being written on the wall with bodily fluids.  Yikes!
