news of the day:
living in a kitchen ****ing sucks
i hate dogs
i hate the ice maker in the fridge
i hate ticktock clocks that are just outa reach
lesson of the day:
when you sleep with a loaded weapon within reach of your bed, make sure the alarm clock isnt set to talk radio... i woke up to people "whispering" grabbed the pistola and the magazine and was preparing to chamber a round when i realized it was just the clock radio slowly scaling the volume on NPR to coax me awake.
