...and i feel fine.
last night my dearest and i had a date night. we went to see hancock which was a pleaser. i mean, will smith is always a fave and i've had a crush on jason bateman since he was derek in silver spoons. i digress..
after the movie we were walking downtown and two little emo boys were coming toward. i saw one working up a big loogey and spitting. disgusting, but whatever, right? move on... move on...
well, as we walked closer and they were just in front of us, the little jerk did it again. let me just say that he was not very old, he'd be lucky if his dodgeballs had dropped yet. they couldn't be more than 13-15. pimply faced. i said "dude, you shouldn't spit on the sidewalk".. he and his buddy dogged me the entire time they passed by and as a "parting shot" both worked up and spit a loogy.
it was at that moment i wished i had hancock powers so i could bend them in half and shove each of their heads up their own bums. i don't know, i know i never acted like that nor did any of my friends in our formative years. if i did something i knew to be wrong and an "adult" corrected me i would have been embarrassed and said sorry and skulked away. but point is, i wouldn't have done that cos my parents would have filleted me later so i knew better.
i'm pretty sure i'm not an "old lady", but my pondering make me realize i'm slipping into that demographic .... the ones that have to mediate as the "adult" .... cos the next generation is hopefully enjoying retirement. i wonder what is happening to society on the whole. what about common courtesy and respect? saying please, thank you and excuse me. my mom used to quote (i forget who) that manners are free.. everyone can afford them. what about caring about one's actions on society?
meh. maybe my knitting and a piece of hard candy will make me feel better. heh heh.
