Miscellaneous

Sometimes, companies are stupid. For instance, my cable company's offered bad service ever since I got it. Really bad. I've never gotten to watch PBS, for instance, even though I pay for it.

Things got rather better, though, when Comedy Central was suddenly added to the channel line-up. I got back into shows that I'd always been a fan of (The Daily Show and Colbert Report especially), and really got used to having it.

Then, Comedy Central disappeared. Yep, it was just a marketing ploy. They provided it for a few weeks as a way to convince me to buy their next largest package.

I'm not buying it though. That's another twenty dollars. I can go to the competing company, it turns out, and save almost ten bucks a month and get Comedy Central. I'm going there.

My neighbor's pretty old and has a white beard. I saw him the other day and thought, "White beards look cool." Then, I realized that I have a beard. It's good to know that someday I'm going to look really cool with my white beard.

The other day I went to get a trim, and the woman who was going to cut my hair freaked out when I took off my cap. She couldn't believe that my hair was as dark as it was since my beard was as red as it was. The whole time, she talked about this discrepancy. She kept asking, "Wow, and you've really never thought of dyeing it?"

I hope that when my beard turns all white people will stop asking that question.

I bought a new computer, which is one of the better and worst feelings there is. I'm broke, but I've got a new best friend.
