Guilty Pleasures (trying not to be so guilty about it)
1. My neighbor’s intense Mexican music
There’s this Mexican family that lives across the street from me and every Saturday and Sunday afternoon, the dad goes to his truck and bumps up some crazy ass Mexican type of music so the whole neighborhood can hear it.
I don’t know what the genre is called but the one I’m listening to it right now (yes, he’s playing it at this very moment) is fast, usually one-note, and every now and then you hear a man’s voice and it’s always either really high-pitched and piercing (weee beeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!) or really low and throaty.
I really don’t know what I’m listening to but I fucking love it.
2. Answering a shitload of questions on Yahoo! Answers
About once a month, for three whole years, I’ve been going on Yahoo Answers late at night to enlighten minds.
3. Asking a shitload of dumb questions on Yahoo! Answers
I’ll be honest here; some of my questions on there are really pathetic, though I do it anyway because their answers give me some weird sense of finality and certainty.
Believe it or not, I’m the person who Yahoo users think is suffering from paranoia because I’d ask completely unnecessary questions such as, “Does he rly like me?” and in the description I’d put shit like, “Well…we text each other a lot, and well…we talk on the phone until 4am and he buys me dinner. What do you think?”
When more than one person answers, “Yeah sounds like you guys have something going on” I can sleep at night.
I can’t help myself.
4. Eating at Denny’s or iHop with buddies until 3 or 4 A.M.
For some reasons breakfast just taste so fucking delicious during that time-not that breakfast food isn’t generally good, it’s just 10x better when you eat it around 3 in the morning.
5. Coughing up a gnarly looking loogie and analyzing it
Thanks to one of my gaming buddies, Dan, he recently mentioned something about examining a loogie after spitting it out, to which I bashfully replied, “I uh…I do that.”
I’m actually sick right now, and for the past few days, I’ve been hocking up the gnarliest looking shit-globs of shit snot and mucous you will ever see in your lifetime. And it fucking hurts too. It’s the kind of loogie where it feels like it’s slicing your throat with a vegetable peeler ever time you cough or clear your throat.
It’s so gnarly that after every spit, I’d say, “What the fuck is that?” and I’d end up studying it for a minute or two, you know, inspecting the coloration, the impressions that it leaves when I wiggle it with my finger, the layers, the depth, and the moisture of the loogie.
LOL at the yahoo answers thing. The kind of questions you ask crack me up.
Will it make you feel any better if I told you that when I’m sad about something, I go on google and type up weird shit like “my life sucks” or “boys are assholes” on the search engine? Nothing ever comes out of those searches but it’s always fun typing them up and feeling like I’m searching for an answer to my emo problems.

Um…I analyze my snot. I think if I was capable of coughing up loogies I’d probably analyze that too.
There’s something abour breakfast, period, I think. My mom always says “why I can make eggs at home” but it just tastes better in a restaurant. And yes, at odd hours of the night, even tastier! I wish McDonalds served breakfast 24 hours a day for those late nights I feel like running out quick to pick something up.
Feel better soon! Sucks that you’re sick and it’s the weekend!

Oh I’m positive it wasn’t raggaeton. This is the kind of music that older Hispanic people like…haha.

Hahaha. I answer yahoo questions too, sometimes.
I used to love eating breakfast at Denny’s at night, but now I prefer to eat dinner foods for breakfast. Mmmm. It’s harder to do at a restaurant though.

My guilty pleasures are The Hills, and anything Anderson Cooper.
Your Yahoo pleasure, is so sweet to me, lol. I know what you mean about sleeping better after you get an answer to your question. As if the answer wasn’t staring you in your face the whole time, lol.

LOL at the investigating your loogies. When I was a kid, I’d choke one up and spit it at people I didn’t like.
I’m always on Yahoo! Answers. I’ve probably seen your questions floating around somewhere.

hope your loogies turn clear soon! and breakfast food is good for anytime other than breakfast haha

I went through the same phase with Yahoo answers. I love the site no matter how ridiculous some of the answers are though… they’re just interesting to read.
I’m not a huge fan of Denny’s or iHops but I go there sometimes for a hearty meal. I usually feel grossly full after eating from there too because I usually get the most fatty things on the menu. =P

hahaha i don’t use Yahoo answers but my little sister uses it a lot! But I agree with you, there’s a sense of satisfaction and closure when people agree with what you’re thinking :p

So stoked to get a reference in your blog that I don’t even care that it’s honorable mention for the mucus analysis convo. Leave it to you to take it one step further and POKE it… maybe start keeping a loogie log now?
