Crackheads and Cough Drops

My weekly case of the Mondays has finally ended and now I can sit back and have a beer and cigarette knowing that the hardest part of the work week is over. Being away from the office for 5 days felt more like a month. I had that "new kid at school" feeling all over again and felt lost. Oh well, and the rest of the week waits...

What kind of crackhead buys something like cough suppressants to feel better but totally negates it with something like cigarettes? Well, apparently I am one of those crackheads, but that's beside the point. Before work I was at Walgreen's picking up some cough drops and smokes and noticed some of the last minute items at the checkout stand. The various items consisted of breath mints, a multivitamin which supposedly relieves hangovers, male enhancement drugs, intimacy enhancing pills for women, KY liquid and flashlights. Talk about a complete, undercover, 'Pimpin Made Easy" pack if these were all sold together! But who exactly grabs a box of intimacy enhancing pills and KY liquid at the same time with three people behind them at the checkout? I'm not sure if most people are as observant as I am in drugstores. I know it's not very amusing but sometimes I can't stop myself from thinking, "It must suck to be you..." or "Do you really think that'll work...?" when I see the different drugs, vitamins, ointments and zit creams people buy. America looks like a society of impotent, acned, hungover perverts that want to lose 10 pounds in 24 hours, or their money back. On top of that we have crackheads that buy Ricola and Marlboro's to cure a cough.

...just saw the trailer for "Before Sunset", the sequel to "Before Sunrise". The trailer song, "Edge of the Ocean", from Ivy is pretty damn awesome...
