I'm so rarely selfish that I don't like getting called out when I am. Thanks. This concludes my bitch session for the evening.

It's too late to be this awake. Or this thirsty.
It's weird that someone who loves food as much as I do would have such a strong dislike of grocery shopping. It's a constant struggle.
You know, things aren't so bad when all your attempts at plans for the day crash and burn and you can still kick back and watch baseball.
Just spent an hour detailing my car. There is no better cure for a hangover.
Got told that I look like Ethan Hawke by like the twentieth person this weekend. How many does it take to be true? I wanna be in movies!
Housemate just left for the night with really loud, really bad music playing. One shouldn't go into other peoples' rooms... but... wow.
Blowing through Muse albums like a lawnmower through kittens. In the sense that they're not getting a chance for fair treatment.
@solarpowerspork Definitely would not have known if you hadn't mentioned it. I knew there was a reason for this "twitter" thing.
It's days like this I wish I had an anchor. In the metaphysical sense. Although a big ol' ship's anchor *would* look cool on my wall...
Holy legislated extortion, Batman... Car insurance in Ontario is brutal.
This really is an astounding combination of sick and hung over. Ever have a day that you really wish just hadn't started?
The eternal debate - to get a haircut or not? Can't decide if I want it much shorter or much longer.
...but then I'd probably be too humbled to ever pick up a guitar again. Yeah, I've still got work to do.
The world needs more Clapton. I could just sit here and listen to this stuff all day and night.
@solarpowerspork I can personally testify to their existence, having suffered both the ham-sweats and, more horrifying, the halibut-sweats.
No wonder I think John Mayer's Continuum is one of the best top-to-bottom albums of our time... Eric Clapton helped in its production.
So very, very much going on right now. I feel like blurting it all out, but I'll settle for this vague and somewhat cathartic tweet.
Thinking of expanding my whiskey horizons from rye and scotch. Anybody have any suggestions as to what top-shelf bourbons to try first?
