Why do I go to the mall???

The only real reason I think is to visit my favorite fast food place: Chick-Fila. I think maybe one other reason is to watch people. Watch how they drone about thinking about nothing, bumping into everyone and think that they own the world. So, I thought that I would write down some of my mall observations and feelings about what I saw:

  1. I have utterly had it with having to know the Spanish translation of a menu to place an order. If you can speak Spanish you have one up on me (I have no language skills. I have tried both Spanish and German and neither stuck. When I try to speak either what comes out can only be described as Germish). But, that being said I do think that the people at the register should be able to at least understand it when I say "Number one value sized with a Coke".
  2. Teenage girls (this would be the 13 to 16 year old set) take up entirely too much oxygen while walking around through the mall. I passed a group of six of them today. They were all talking at the same time about totally unrelated subjects. One of them was talking about which Backstreet Boy she liked when she was a kid. Glad to see that a full government education system has enlightened them. When I was their age, many many moons ago, I was debating the pros and cons of supply side economics with classmates.
  3. Abercrombie and Fitch - I have a few thoughts on this one: First those people in the large picture frames are genetic anomolies (go to the beach a few times and I promise you that you won't see anyone looking like these people). Second, if I wanted to wear wrinkled clothes I would just throw all my clothes on the floor instead of folding them. Third, I have some old worn out jeans....anybody want to buy them.
  4. On a side note combining the A&F and teen girl thoughts (beware: really insensitive thoughts follow) If you decide to wear those in style low cut sweats with the printing on the ass stop and think for a moment. If you can fit Abercombie across it instead of just A&F you are just too damn fat to wear them. STOP IT!!!!
  5. People who work in EB Games are just like the Comic Store character from the Simpsons.
  6. Mall Security - could these possibly be the most miserable people on earth.
  7. In the food court, if I walk past you while you are handing out free samples and don't take one, don't bother asking if I would like to try your food. Take the hint.
  8. The coins collected from the mall fountain are going to help support a local government high school athletic team. Sorry, but isn't that what the taxes are for?

On a brighter note I bought a Modeling Guitar Processor (makes kewl guitar effects). I guess I am going to have to buckle down and really learn the guitar now. Comfortably Numb here I come.
