E Du Toilette's and Whatnot

The polls have closed on the reader poll and the winner of favorite day of the week was Saturday. What does this mean? That people love the weekend?

Shocker.

Okay, what was I expecting, a rush of votes for Thursday? Who the fuck likes Thursday? Although, someone did vote for Tuesday...What is wrong with you? Tuesdays are the worst.

Alright so I got the latest issue of Sports Illustrated, right? No, this isn't about sports. This is about the cologne that came for free inside the magazine. They don't do it often in SI, but I love it when they put those pages in. Peel them apart, you get to smell what that perfume/cologne/e du toilette smells like. Bonus! Nice thing about a person like me, I have no shame rubbing an entire magazine page against my skin so that I get to smell like the expensive cologne, for free. Well, that just happened. The only problem is, whatever the smell is or whoever makes it, I now smell like the Mall at Green Hills. Which I'm pretty sure means I smell like Abercrombie & Fitch. Is that good or bad? The cologne is not A&F, I guess it's actually Ralph Lauren, and surely don't have the ripped abs of the dudes in A&F ads. I remember walking past A&F store at some mall, somewhere, and there were real people standing in front of the store. One guy and one girl, if I'm not mistaken, and their job was to stand there and look hot. WOW. Just be hot, and get paid. Dream job, right there.

So anyway, I got free smells this morning. Suck it. I ain't buying your cologne, Ralph Lauren, because you just gave it to me, for free. I'll keep rubbing this page on me until it stops transferring. There's four different scents on here, so I might be here a while. Suckers.

Rich Chicks

Ah, man. I don't even know where to begin.

My lovely wife had a job interview at Lipscomb University today, and that's awesome. It's awesome because, first of all, she gets to advance her career. Secondly, she'll get paid more money, so that's always a plus. I also enjoy the fact that I would get to drive to the Green Hills area to pick her up instead of the TSU area where she is at now. In case you're not familiar with the Nashville area, the TSU area is where you go to get robbed. Not by students, but by the neighborhood. Green Hills is where you go if you're rich. It's where you go if you want to buy some Louis Vuitton.

So I had to go there today to bring her to her interview. While she was talking to the nice lady we hope hires her, I spent my time walking around the Green Hills mall, home of the aforementioned Louis Vuitton store. It's also home to Coach, Tiffany & Co., and Gucci. You get the idea. Well, I couldn't help but notice the people walking around the mall, on a Friday morning, all seemed to be the same stereotypical 30's or 40's woman, usually in nicer clothes than the normal woman, also usually more attractive than the average woman. Sometimes they had a little one in tow, sometimes not. But they all had that vibe of "rich wife" as they walked around the mall, none of them really smiling, nor frowning. All of these stereotypes I have placed upon the clientèle of the Mall at Green Hills may not be true, but it felt that way. I laughed because I desire these's womens lives. I want to be able to just go and walk around the Mall at Green Hills on a weekday morning, shopping for stuff that I probably don't need. I also want to be a middle aged woman, apparently. When I realized I was also just walking around the Mall at Green Hills on a weekday morning, but I knew I was only there to kill time and I wasn't going to buy anything. That's when I realized how I looked and what I was actually doing, and how these women looked, and the fact that I didn't know what they were doing. For all I know, the Mall at Green Hills hadn't sold anything to these ladies. I could never know, unless I asked.

So I realized I cannot assume things about people that I assume things about. I don't know what's really going on, so I have to stick to what is known, and what facts I know.

Though while there, I went to the Apple store and updated my Twitter from an iPad. So awesome. Though I don't know if the iPad is really that awesome, or if I'm just assuming again, going off things I've heard...

That is all, I hope this makes sense, because I am not proofreading it AT ALL.
