Another Mile Swim

I was accosted by a mean old man following my mile swim today.

He saw me taking a selfie in the locker room.

“What the hell are you doing?! You can’t take a selfie in here. You ain’t no Car-dash-I-Un!”

What is said is true. I’m not a Car-dash-I-Un. Thus, today’s “after” pic was taken in the parking lot. Sorry old man!

Random Quote

“It’s not so much what you say yes to in life as what you say no to.” - Graydon Carter, former editor of Vanity Fair.

Mint Iced Tea

I lived down the hall from a guy named Jake (name changed) in the dorm at Lon Morris College.

Once, while drinking iced tea, Jake boasted that he and his family had invented drinking tea with mint. He said his parents had a mint plant on their porch and one afternoon his dad plucked a couple leaves and put them in his tea. He thought it tasted great and told his family. Soon, everyone in the family was drinking iced tea with mint. Somehow this secret made it to Lipton and they stole the idea. Jake said his dad thought about suing Lipton but decided not to.

I thought this was probably one of the most bizarre (and obviously not true) stories I’d ever heard and made note of it in a journal. Seriously? Your family invented mint in iced tea?!

Gay Snake Lifestyle!

Typical libtard city!

The first thing I see when I walk into St. David’s in Austin is two gay snakes about to kiss!

Really?!

Really St. David’s?!

People come here to get well, and you greet them by shoving these snakes’ lifestyle down our throat?!

I’m appalled.

Random Book Quote

Yo Gabba Gabba

Pretty sure I saw that green dude thing from Yo Gabba Gabba in the St David’s parking garage.

La Quinta Blows

La Quinta Inn by Wyndham Austin North Is disgusting.

Absolutely freaking disgusting.

Never stayed at a chain hotel that was this gross.

Word!

Gayne C. Young

If you mixed Ernest Hemingway, Robert Ruark, Hunter S. Thompson, and four shots of tequila in a blender, a "Gayne Young" is what you'd call the drink!
