The 365: Day 906



Saturday, June 25, 2011 (176/906)

And this appears to be a picture of me just getting so fat until I become one with the couch.

My social media post of the day: Last night at work I approached my supervisor, he was speaking with his supervisor at the time. Both men are black, which I only mention because it is relevant to the story. As I got within earshot they stopped talking to each other, turned to me, and one asked me, "Tom, do you separate whites from coloreds?" After my initial half a second internal reaction of "wtf," I realized they were talking about laundry. My mind immediately jumped to my facebook status from the other month in which I compared doing the laundry to race segregation . . . "No sir, I don't believe in separate but equal. I put them all together and run them on cold."

“So Tommy P rolls into Cobra Lounge last night, and everybody’s like, ‘Tommy P!’ And he’s all like, “What up, I aint got no sleeves.” - @spookypants1

My social media post of the day: I illegally parked my car with the emergency lights flashing so I could unload my groceries. I brought them into my apartment, I moved some stuff around to make room in the freezer, I put the plastic bags away for later miscellaneous usage, responded to a few texts and tweets, took a shower, did a little facebooking, THEN I REMEMBERED THAT I LEFT MY CAR ILLEGALLY PARKED OVER THIRTY MINUTES AGO!!!

Happy Flag Day!!!

Is my hair the same colour as the door?

My social media post of the day: Driving through Wrigleyville on my way to work just now a group of bros n hoes were walking across the street against the light, short green, very long red. They were all wearing white Cubs jerseys, blue Cubs hats, black sunglasses, and khaki shorts. I honked because they were clearly being rude. A guy yelled, "Fuck you," and a girl gave me the finger. So I yelled out my open window, "You're ugly!"

Monday, June 13, 2011 (164/894)

Check it out, my first smart phone. When I got it I told the guy at the store, “I’m glad to finally be joining the world of 2007.” He replied with, “Actually with that phone, you’re joining the world of 2013.”

The 365: Day 892



Saturday, June 11, 2011 (162/892)

We found this at an “antique store.” It was too expensive to purchase.





This didn’t even have a price tag on it. It must have not been for sale. I think it looked pretty happening on me.





I had to see it for myself to believe it. For nearly thirty years Ma’s has been providing my people with late night drunk food, and it has now closed down. Where am I going to get biscuits and gravy at six in the morning?

Friday, June 10, 2011 (161/891)

Speeding to Michigan through an eerie mist.

My social media post of the day: I saw Heath Ledger's story on the bio channel the other day. Now I'm in the mood to watch my favorite Ledger flicks: 10 Things I Hate About You, Lords of Dogtown, and The Dark Knight. But definitely not that gay one with the guys on horses, A Knight's Tale.

The 365: Day 890



Thursday, June 9, 2011 (160/890)

Nighty night.

My social media post of the day: Voldemort is living on the back of Quirrell's head. Quirrell dies. Harry kills a basilisk and destroys a horcrux. Sirius Black isn't a murderer, he's Harry's godfather. Voldemort comes back, kills Cedric, Harry gets away. Bellatrix murders Sirius. Then Snape kills Dumbledore. Voldemort kills Harry. Harry comes back. Voldemort tries again, but Harry rebounds the killing curse back at Voldemort. Harry marries Ginny.

As I came home from work it was pouring rain. It was a long, hot day, so I ran around in the rain, taking it all in like I was a teenager in Michigan again.
