Tis I, einsam

I think I'm getting old

There are several signs that point towards my age growing ever closer to "over the hill".

First is that, I think there is a possibility that now I'm not drinking as hard and heavy as I have in the past, that I'm actually getting hangovers. I'll refuse to admit they are hangovers though. I call them migraines. In all honesty, I don't think today's is at all linked to drinking last night, because there's no nauseau involved for starters. And I drink too much water for it to be a hangover. I'll stick with that story, okay?

Secondly, there's the fact that "YOUNG HOOLIGANS!" are roaming our streets! Basically as I was walking home from work, and there was this dude, no older that 35, but closer to 25 I'd say, talking to his mate on the footpath outside the zoo. He glanced in my direction as he saw me coming, I'd jangled my keys to alert them to the fact they'd need to move out the way. His mate moved, all good. He just stood where he was, until I was basically standing on his stinky tootsies. I had my music on all loud in my earphones, so I said loud enough for me to hear even "excuse me", and even then he took his sweet mother time to move out the way. How faffing inconsiderate! His only excuse could've been to not move out the way earlier was that he was blind, but if that was the case, his mate would've pulled him out the way. He couldn't be deaf, because he reacted to both the jangling of my keys, and the extremely loud request for him to move. That leaves dumb, because he definately wasn't mute! I wonder what went through his mind as I was approaching him. Maybe "I'm bigger than she is, so I wont move" or maybe "If I pretend she doesn't exist, maybe she'll disappear"? My personal favourite for this fulla, was "Man, I so ugly, it's effecting my brain, how do I move these hands at the end of my legs again?"

In other news, in light of NCEA school stats being announced, I checked out a few colleges' scores. My old school, the "problem" schools when it came to moderation, and the third reason I'm getting old, checking which schools in the region looked to have the better results, you know, for future reference, for sending my nonexistent kids to. Next I'll be using the Ray White website to find somewhere to live within their zones!

But before my kids get to high school age, I've got plenty of time to dream up unique and interesting ways to punish those kids. That is for public use, and after they realise that giving them a smack while in the privacy of their family home could get mommy in big big trouble.

Anyway, plenty of television to rot my brain tonight. Must be off.
