pitiful

it is rainy today. it is a tropical weather humid rain. maybe not pitiful, but today, for me, it does beg the question...what is? what is pitiful that i feel the need to shed some light on... why, you ask? i. have. no. clue....

so here we go; things i find pitiful.

1. freshman. as i wrote that i actually laughed out loud. today at a stoplight (in the rain) i watched a freshman (he had to be) dressed up as if he cared who was looking holding a campus map. i'd assume he was lost on the way to his second summer semester class, or he just couldn't remember how he got there the first 6 times. if you ask me, freshman are painfully pitiful.

2. my dog, henry. henry is probably the saddest puppy this side of the state. he doesn't have too many friends, he never really gets to run and play for fear i won't be able to get him back once he gets scared of a leaf and takes off, and well...he has the droopiest little eyes you could ever imagine. sometimes i tell him, "don't worry henry, your life won't always suck and you certainly won't always be this pitiful". i wonder if he believes me?

3. did i say freshman? sorry, just kidding. sorda.

4. my obsession with Scandal. seriously, i'm obsessed. i find myself thinking of the unsolved mysteries they try and figure out in Olivia's office. i am looking forward to watching the next episode before the current one is even over and i love fitz.  no seriously, i love him. and well...that, that is pretty pitiful.

5. those people that hold up advertisements outside. all. day. long. now that is pitiful. i mean who has the patience to stand in one place, or within steps of one another all day long holding up a sign for, let's say Blimpie, or Little Caesars Pizza? seriously? if that is not pitiful, i don't know what is. more power to ya...

6. over the top obsessions. call me crazy or say that i just have a lack of anything to be passionate about but i think that crazy obsessions about anything or anyone famous is just sad. i don't care if you are obsessed with Justin Beiber, your favorite band or that you keep a signature from your favorite player next to your nightstand. do yourself a favor and keep it together. i also hope that if ever given the chance to actually meet whoever or whatever it is you are obsessed with that you don't pee your pants or throw up on anyone around you. not only is that pitiful, but it's incredibly embarrassing. good luck. (And Joe, i know you love Bono, but it's okay..i still love you ;-))

7. cargo shorts. need i say more?

8. horrible selfies. look, i am not saying that i haven't snapped a few cute pictures while sitting at a light or before going out all dolled up, it's a fact, i admit it. what i will say about selfies is that there is a correct way to do it. see here. [duh] so for all of those horrible selfie takers out there...better luck next time. you're pitiful, thanks for sharing though.

so there ya have it, just a few things i find painfully pitiful. you can thank the rain for this random gem...
