i miss my honey bunches of oats. i yummed up a bowl or two everyday for so long, i couldn't even remember life without those sweet clusters. but even though it was so good, i couldn't help but look at the lucky charms, or the cracklin' oat bran, or even the go lean crunch every once in awhile. have you ever really noticed how many choices there are in that aisle? but nothing stood out as an overwhelming must-try, so i ended up going off cereal altogether. it was alright- i never even had to walk down that aisle because the coffee is right at the end so i could just grab it and move on. (coffee would be another whole story.) so i managed. recently though, i've decided to go back to cereal. i've been eating cheerios- not even the multi-grain or berry kind, just plain, boring cheerios. they are healthy, simple, and cheery enough, but there's no surprise or excitement, no real flavor. man, i miss my honey bunches. mmm...with almonds.

"i'm waiting for AAA to come change my tire."
"why don't you change your tire yourself?"
now, what is the purpose of asking this question? is it just to make me feel bad about myself? is there any other possible response than
"i don't know how to change a tire."
"oh...really?"
duh, what did you THINK i was going to say? just like i don't say, "why do you complain about spending money on a friend's shower gift when you make almost 6 digits and your parents are buying your house?" i keep that to myself because the only response would be "i'm a cheapskate," which doesn't make either one of us feel good. speaking of not knowing what to respond to an asinine remark, what the hell do you say when "piana" man says he could kick lance armstrong's ass on a mountain climb? what?! i don't know what you say, but i act like i don't hear him and hope he isn't dumb enough to repeat it.
