Cherry Blossom Prime Time

Currently, the Cherry Blossoms are at peak bloom. I don't need the washington post to inform me, I can tell by the sudden influx of tourists. Aaah tourists! What a breath of fresh air. Well in some cases. I can't stand their children on the metro train. The children are insane! They scream and yell and pick their noses. I can't tell you how disgusting that is. I was silently screaming inside.

The tourists dress in vibrant colors like yellow and red. Most DC commuters wear black which usually matches their mood. I am going to descend into the madness and visit the Tidal Basin sometime within the next few days. Wish me luck!

On being a misanthrope

I am really starting to dislike most of the human race. If I owned Montana like Ted Turner, I'd live out the rest of my life riding horses, fly fishing, and eating steak. I'd be happy never to see another living soul. Well, OK I wouldn't mind conversing with a few selected souls.

Anyways, I have come to the realization that I truly despise some people and that is OK. In fact, I told one odious person at work that "I don't like people." This person seemed surprised and didn't get the hint to leave my office. Wow!

I think I am turning into a curmudgeon. I have been expending so much effort toward my GRE efforts that I have little time for anything else. I hope to put 2007 behind and embark on a better life. Jeez, I sound like I need to go on Dr. Phil.
