• I was talking to somebody on the phone today that spoke broken English.
  It got me to to thinking, when these people read English, does the
  voice in their head that reads speak broken English too? It would stand
  to reason, wouldn’t it? And what if they speak other languages, is the
  internal voice in their original language or the language they are
  reading? I mean, what if it is a clear, non accent voice, do they have
  trouble understanding that voice just like they have trouble
  understanding people with perfect English? Its crazy, I don’t know how
  those fuckers that speak more than one language do it. If I spoke more
  than one language, I think I would switch things up in mid sentence and
  start in one language and finish in another, you know, just to see if I
  can confuse myself. What a trip.

  I think I’m going to start playing with toys again. As a kid, when you
  are bored, you can just start playing with your toys, like GI Joes,
  Star Wars action figures, Matchbox cars or Legos (ok, and Barbies for
  girls) and BOOM you all of a sudden have something to do and aren’t
  bored. As an adult, I find myself being bored more and more often. And
  since I can only do certain things for so long before my hand gets
  tired. So, after those 58 seconds are done, I then have lots of time on
  my hands. And why not fill that void with things like matchboxes,
  little mini versions of cars I could never even dream of owning. Plus,
  its cars that I don’t have to fill up. And than there are your GI Joes,
  its the closest thing a gay guy could ever get to the military. And if
  you combine those with the Star Wars figures, you can have yourself
  your own personal Abu Grab (spelling please). As for Barbie, well, she
  is at least as smart as this one blond girl I used to work with. See,
  so when you think about it, toys probably aren’t that far from reality.
  I mean, I have a Bart Simpson doll that speaks way better than George
  Bush ever could dream of speaking.
