Pickles are actually the evil brothers of Cucumbers and are constantly plotting to overthrow them from their place as head the vegetable/fruit alliance.

The Eventual Slide Into Lameness

So, I was thinking the other day. When the current young generation gets older, things that we think are cool are going to be lame, because that's what always happens. The things our parents did were lame, the things their parents did were lame (and so on and so forth...), and the things we do, to our kids, are going to be lame. This includes tattoos and piercings.

I mean, we think it's so cool to get all this different stuff on our bodies, and it really can be, but the more of our generation that does this, the less the next will, because it will be really really uncool. There will of course be those kids that look upon their parents generation as cool, but they never have any friends anyway, so they don't really count.

But... I mean, it's just weird to think that all the things we think are cool and edgy today, are going to be lame and soft in a few short years. Of course, by then, who knows... maybe people will be rearranging body parts, as my father likes to think will happen.

So, this is a new thing that I'm hoping will get me publishing something at least once a week. It's where I say something that is Totally and Absolutely True, no matter what you might think. So, here's the first fact:

The whales are slowly plotting to take the last remaining smallpox virus to kill their enemies, the chipmunks.

An Article on Soccer (and quite possible, life).

This is an article written by some guy on Yahoo. I can't really say I know who he is, I imagine he's a sportswriter for somewhere and people read and like him. I think however, he makes an interesting point.

South Africa – Soccer’s superstar players never materialized here at the World Cup. The game’s best – Lionel Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo, Kaka, Wayne Rooney, etc. – often failed to lift their play and, in turn, their teams, to a level this grand stage demands.

The conventional wisdom on why: They were too selfish, unable to adapt to the team concept of a national squad.

Then there’s Diego Maradona’s take: Unlike the past, the stars weren’t selfish enough.

Interesting eh? We in America are so used to our whiny, overpaid, over-advertised football/basketball/baseball/hockey stars, who get pissy if they make less than 25 million dollars a year. Yet, the writer makes a point, that those stars we're paying absolutely too much money, we expect them to be great. We expect them to so awesome it almost hurts, so awesome we can only dream of being them, being that talented and good. This is not to say that I don't think they could learn some humility, but as long as they're gonna be selfish assholes, they better be good at what they do.

As the article goes on however, more life examples are given, doctors, pilots, soldiers... All these people we expect to be at there best, adn because of that, they make more money. There are alot of people in the world who think it's unfair, they think that everyone should make the same amount, be the same, be "equal". But as this article argues, maybe we're not equal, maybe you're better at soccer than me, maybe I'm better than you, but if one of us gonna get paid big bucks to play, we better be playing our best. I mean, can you imagine if doctors weren't expected to be the best, so as not to hurt anyone else's feelings? I'd be willing to bet there's be alot more dead people and alot less medicine.

Why?

Why is it that people who have handicap license plates or signs feel that they have the right to drive and park like complete assholes? One day I'm just goign to go up to one of them and say "Just because you're injured, doesn't mean you can be an ass while driving." But, I suppose that would be considered insensitive. Eh, fuck 'em.
