when was i radicalized?

probably when an earthquake tore up the stadium i was playing football in, exposing me to toxic waste, and turning me into a mutant made of bones (who still loves football)

how'd we go from nacho cheesier to just nacho cheese?
how'd we go from cooler ranch to just cool ranch?

are doritos getting less flavorful... or are our taste buds getting more POWERFUL?!

i HATE the ceiling in the concert hall in downtown portland, and if you have trypophobia, i hope you never see it

if you DON'T have trypophobia, or if you DO have trypophobia but you're a sicko like me (i can't stop looking at it whenever i'm there), i found a photo of it

stopped by my grandma's on the way to the airport, and sat between her & my mom on the sofa

at one point my grandma starts picking bits of fuzz off my coat. then my mom joins in & they're both picking fuzz off me

i'm a well-groomed monkey baby 🥰

it's so funny to me that while 99% of laundry detergent brands try to convince us that they're good at removing tough stains, gain doesn't even try to compete

instead, they EXCLUSIVELY promote their scent. like, "who CARES if your clothes are DIRTY if they SMELL GOOD!"

me: (correcting everyone's pronunciation) actually, it's pronounced BLOO-skee. yeah, it's polish.... no, just inside. just, like, very deep inside it feels polish

also, apparently the food pyramid that they taught us when i was growing up was all wrong, and they've since revised it

hey, i'm performing at Rev Hall tomorrow! come on out if you like having a good time!

and if you don't like having a good time, well, then i don't know what to tell you. maybe go hang out in a dark basement by yourself?

camel cigarettes had to give up their cool anthropomorphic camel mascot because it could make smoking more appealing to children

but what about l'oréal, which made its kid's shampoo smell just like FRUIT ROLL-UP?? poor kids (not me, def not me heh) probably TASTED that shampoo!! and it tastes AWFUL

i got a new favorite candy, y'all. haribo's done it again!

haribo's without a doubt the BEST, and if you DISAGREE, then it appears we differ in our taste in CANDY, which doesn't mean that we can't respect & VALUE each other's unique PERSPECTIVES, while holding SPACE for our diverse LIVED EXPERIEN–

and while i certainly won't remember his name, i'll think of him every time i slip in the shower, which means that the last thought i ever think might be, "damn, this is how the former bassist of the band train died"
