I am simply speechless....

Or, at least I was. And, rightly so. I was just minding my own business on Friday night. I decided to stay in mainly because I was tired. It had been a long week fraught with peril and unknowns. After having just one beer, I decided to turn in on the couch. One of life's simpler pleasures, I feel, is the freedom to crash on the couch if one so desires. I've been a couch crasher since God knows how long. Before I laid on the couch to simply lose myself in some jazz, I decided to ruin more of my health by standing on the balcony for a few minutes doing bad, socially unacceptable things (I am just about there in stopping such habits, but not yet). As the horrid winds begin to lash about announcing the presence of winter, I heard a shout in my direction from an apartment across the way. It appeared an unsavory individual decided to do the same bad habit at the same time as I. Instead of minding his own business, like I was doing, he spoke to me. "I've got big balls!" he shouted. Now, what in the world was this jackass doing? I don't know. And, quite frankly, I really didn't care to know anything about his anatomy, or for him for that matter. So, I did what anybody would have done in that situation... I ignored him. What would you say to something like that as the winds howled and hands began to freeze? What the hell? What is wrong with this world that a person, such as myself, can't be left alone when he/she so chooses to be left alone? Yes, I know. This isn't all that big of a deal. But, it still bugs me. I guess it was just another one of those moments of proof that have to continually remind us that assholes live amongst us, and I guess I really didn't need another reminder at that moment. Shortly after the verbal assault, he went back inside to brag about his conquest. What a jackass! "I'm so damn funny!" he probably said to his jackass friend. "Do you know what I just did?" "What?" said loser friend. "I just yelled 'I've got big balls' to that, dude across the way!" "Oh, you are so funny!!! Gosh, I am glad to know you."

Dear lord! What kind of a world do we live in where people think this is funny?

I give up.
