I
was about to start this chronicle with "We live in a world full of
people". False! I hate to be the guy that poo poo's great literature
=). It is said that 70% of this planet is water and I don't know about
you but my apartment is not located in the Gulf of Mexico. So this
doesn't sound like a "Full of" does it? So lets assume they meant the
land mass is full of people. Pretty reasonable statement. So..."We live
in a world where the 30% land mass is full of people", sound right?
Emmmm...not entirely accurate. Take into account that mountain ranges
account for 24% of the land mass and those are not auspicious to human
population growth. Oh don't get me wrong, people live on mountains but
you won't find Los Angels on the top of the Rocky mountains. Still, I
wouldn't put a tick mark in the "Full of" category.
Also conceder Deserts, which Columbia Univ. breaks out the desert
percentage by nation but not for the entire planet. And then what about
about open land and farm land. About
21% of the earth has arable land. Meaning, land that is able to support
functions that support human population growth. Do major cities inhabit
these farms lands? I don't think so, when I fly from Austin to Dallas I
am pretty sure that shortly after take off I see mostly open and/or
farm land.
So the statement "We live in a world full of people" as you can see is
False. What I meant to say is that we deliberatly cram ourselfs into
towns and cities. So what does this all mean?
Grocery shopping! I am starting to look forward to grocery shopping.
really. In the past I dreaded the day that my wife said, "ok, after
work we need to go grocery shopping". I would come up with excuses and
weasel out of it but she finally wised up and put a stop to that. So
now I go.
The family and I where heading down the isle to get milk (it is located
in the freezer by the isle in question, at the end) and from no where
the couple swing into the isle and just stoped. Now we where making a
nice clip to the milk and where is their cart? Right smack in the
middle of the isle. Where are they? Trying to read the label on some
cleaning solution.
Don't leave your cart in the middle of the isle. It is rude, very rude
and subjects you a very jarring noise as I ram your cart out of the
way.
And
in this corner, wearing red, white, and blue trunks, we have Bryan "I
love to complain all the time" Bracamonte! And in the other corner,
wearing dingy white trunks with the chewing tobacco stain, we have
Trashy husband dude
I rammed a cart before, yes. I have an amazing amount of tolerance and
refrain from acting like a child in public. However there are times I
lose it and behave poorly. No, I didn't do it this time. I simply just
clipped their cart and keep walking. I'm not sure how they reacted as I
didn't look back but there is story.
is how other people react when you act like a complete jerk in public.
People tend to get upset and it leads to unpleasantness and possible
redecorating.
