toilet paper hitler

Man, I've had it with being poor. I’ve had it with the straightjacket triangle of college-cafeteria-dorm life. It’s like instead of having a shoulder angel, I have a shoulder Hitler always denying me everything ever. And then there's those girls who insist on going out to eat and when I courteously decline they ask why. ALWAYS ASK WHY. When I inform them that it is due to my lack of funds they insist on paying. In my naivety I used to resign myself to allowing others to pay for me but no more. NO MORE! What? Do they think I have no soul? That I would kindly agree to prostitute my soul to their capitalistic Satan spree? I THINK NOT So I look around and see "nice cars", people living in houses with "two bathrooms", or just a “house with a roof”, wearing "name brand cloths", with "real jobs", and "hook up's" well there’s one word I want to share with you people: SCREW YOU!!! So what if, instead of using note books I use toilet paper from the janitor room that I sneak out every day after my crappy on-campus-job-because-the-blasted-Canadian-government-won’t-let-me-work-off-campus-
even-though-they-have-a-worker-shortage-and-declining-population-rate. SO WHAT? So sue me; I use toilet paper for socks, notes, decorations, band-aids, head turbines, heck, I hardly have enough to toilet paper to use for its original application! Now whenever is I use toilet paper I think of my shoulder Hitler oppressing me, laughing at me because I don’t have the funds to contribute to his socialistic, anti-Semitic, epicenter of global hatred and domination via capitalism!! (Or S.A.E.G.H.D.C. for short) I hate mooching off friends for rides, food, and above all I detest that look of sympathy from that one girl. That look of pity that says "you poor soul, you cant afford to eat in Wendy’s so I want to give you money but I know you'll hate it, but I think I'm going to try and get away with it by ordering 2 meals without him knowing, and then I'll give one to him and he'll have to eat it!! muha...muhaha...MUHAHAHAHAHA!!! MY PLAN FOR WORLD DOMINATION HAS COME TO FRUITION!!" It’s a nice thought, and maybe it’s just my pride, or my strong conviction not to attune myself to a subconscious mental philosophy of people=food=free=manipulate=no real friendship at all (a tendency I have noticed among the poor ones at college), but if someone does this, it’s just awkward. How can a man face himself the mirror the next morning after having a cute girl buys him a meal at Wendy’s?! Its like the 17 year old store-worker girl this summer who insisted on giving me, a 20 year old a ride home every day instead of letting me walk the flippen 20 minutes home. And what is it about America that makes walking out to be such a travesty? Is it not ironic that the same people who insist on organic foods, yoga, and rigorous daily exercise compete to get the closest parking spot possible to Costco's main entrance? And then as soon as they see people loading groceries into a car that is potentially pulling out the spot they've always dreamed of, they wait in the middle of the road with they're blinker on, meanwhile blocking all traffic behind them. Its just walking, its not going to kill you America. Good lord.

Good gracious Brent, you sure know how to rant. Honestly I think spending today with you and Luke was the best part of my whole trip (shh don't tell the others. It's probably just cuz I'm not much of a large group kinda person). Not to be, um, the devil, but may I kindly remind you of 2 things which greatly decrease my sympathy for you at this moment: a) you didn't fill out your fasfa b) you have a season pass to ski. Now I'm very glad you have a season pass and it's your call about the fasfa (or whatever the acronym is) but you know... I'm just saying is all. And if I want to share my milk-shake and fries with you well then I suppose you'll just have to deal with it. Ah, only in love Brenty, only in love. It was great to meet your family, they were all quite delightful.
love,
Pammy
(and I don't let very many people call me that so you just count your blessings mister!)

Brent, If I counted all the ways I enjoy you ranting, raving bitching blogs. If would be as long as your last entry. So I will say this sometimes the cute girl, thinks it's really great that you let her buy you food. So it's not really a plot to over through your manhood, even thought I understand you view it like that. I'm with you on the walking thing though. I start walking to school on monday becasue I don't car pool with my brother anymore and therefore can't justify it in my mind. People think I'm poor because I'm going to drive. They think it's great I pay money to my gym though. WHY???

Beth said...

I share in your poverty Brent, and I think your blog is hilariously true. I have to bum my mom for a ride to school everyday, because I don't even drive.

Sad fact about being a girl: you can't handle hearing people talk about being hungry. Especially not if you're a girl who's used to cooking for half a high-school football team. But that's another story. Try this "I can't go out to eat with you" excuse instead: "You know, I'd love to, but I'm on this 'no processed foods, including salt' diet." It gets a totally different response, and nobody will buy you anything. :)

Funny post. good luck with the Toilet Paper! -- An American who parks close to buildings because of perpetual rain (...she can't afford water-proof mascara).
