Well, I am sorry I did not get on here yesterday. I guess those two a days make up for my absence, but it still bothers me a little when I don't do something regularly. My tendency to like regularity (not talking BMs, believe it or not) stems from my running days, which I have been getting back into these last few weeks. Plan on running four tonight and then taking tomorrow really easy, because I "plan on" running a 5k for Autism on Saturday. I say plan on because the best laid plans of mice and men are....I forget the rest of the quote, but I think the point of it is you never can be one hundred percent positive your plans will work accordingly.
If I do run, I would like to get under 21. Seven minute mile pace for me now is like 5:30 pace for when I was 10 years younger and 50 pounds lighter.
**********
Got told to politely leave the gas station before authorities were called. Its bad enough that I paid 3.50 a gallon. Some guy was asking another guy if he had a couple "gay guys in the car," and then continued to make disparaging remarks that were supposed to be funny. I asked the guy who was making these statements if he was trying to sound like a redneck. "Was I talking to you son?" No you weren't but you were making stupid comments for everyone to hear. What do you have against gay people? "I don't have anything against faggots." Oh, they are faggots now? It sure sounds like you got a problem with gay people. "Maybe I do, what is it to you" (starts moving toward me like he is about to do something) Maybe I am gay and a gay person is about to whoop your ass (I am not gay for the record, I hate how I always have to make this distinction, do I look gay or something?). Then I proceed to move towards him like, if you are gonna step up brother you better be ready to scrap.
He backs away and I continue my tirade. "Its people like you that give rednecks like me a bad name. Why don't you come up with better ways to put down your buddy than by calling him a homosexual like that is a bad thing. I think that it is you that is gay! ....*(^&...."
It is about this time that the gas station attendant comes out and informs me that my time here is up.
Whatever. I got in the truck and left.
The moral of this story, if you say something that I find offensive, be prepared to back up your statements because I will call you out. I am tired of the hate directed towards minorities. It is not funny calling someone gay if they are not gay and you are trying to put that person down. Its 2013. Get with the damn program.
