checkbooks

I was thinking yesterday how infrequently I use my checkbook. Ever since I discovered how to do bill pay on my bank's website I really haven't written any checks. The only checks I really write are for stupid things, like paying my friend my fantasy football dues. I want to bring back check writing. I can't remember the last time I saw someone write a check for an actual purchase. Maybe when I was six and went to the grocery store with my mom was the last time. I was just wondering if cashiers would even know what to do if I wrote out a check. If I went to WaWa and bought two cokes and a newspaper and wrote out a check would they accept it? Or if I went to the bar, and at the end of the night wanted to pay my tab and was like "oh no, don't run the card, here, I am going to write you a check. Who do I make that out to?" Better yet,what if I bought two beers at a crowded bar and tried to pay the 6 bucks with a check? "sorry buddy can you move over a second? Thanks. Just need a solid surface to put this down. Thanks."
Someone should try this with me.

My First Night Without Facebook

So, my first night without facebook went like this. Instead of listening to the baseball game on the radio and going on facebook til 11pm like I usually did, I listened to the baseball game on the radio and fell asleep before 9pm.... So far so good. I don't need no stinkin facebook.

facebook cancellation

I decided to end my use of facebook. I hope it lasts more than the few hours that have already past. Instead of thinking of mindless drivel to write on my status updates, I can think of mindless drivel to write in blog posts instead. And now I won't have to read posts from girls I went to middle school with about how their babies haven't taken naps that day and how they are so cranky. Hopefully this is a new day for me. Instead of the countless hours I have wasted looking at these inane posts and boring photo albums I can be doing something a little more worthwhile with my time. Even if it's reading that issue of Philadelphia Magazine I got three weeks ago that I haven't opened yet. Pretty much anything I do will be better than wasting my time on Facebook.

Pores

I shaved today. When I shave, I usually just throw some hot water on my face a few times and pretend that that opened my pores and thus I will get a closer shave. But I think every time I do that I inevitably wonder if those few splashes of hot water actually did anything. I mean, I've never actually seen my pores open or close before, so how do I really know? How long does it take for a pore to open? Will ten seconds of hot water on my face open my pores? Do I have to close my pores back up with cold water when I am finished?

Dentists

I love my dentist. She's funny, gentle, never keeps me waiting long in the chair, and I think she does a pretty good job at keeping my teeth healthy. When appointment time comes around, I start thinking that I should have done a better job brushing my teeth between visits, and start getting anxious knowing that she will know that I haven't flossed. I'm not too worried about the flossing part only because I know no one else is flossing. But I guess I wish I was toughening up my gums the week prior so they wouldn't bleed at all when she scraped.

shirts in windows

Whenever you are driving on a highway you are bound to see a car abandoned on the side of the road with a shirt or a bag hanging out the window. What the hell does that mean? Is that something you learn in driver's ed because I don't ever recall "hang shirt from window when in distress." It can only mean one of two things, "don't tow my car, I am coming back for it", or "I surrender and I am leaving this piece of shit here!" Two very different meanings huh? Where does one get this information?
