Manlio Rules

it’s true! i was looking at my 3 years of posting, and recently everything is fine and good. and that’s all fine and good, but i wouldn’t want you to think that i’ve lost my ability to rage against things over which i have no control. so here are 5 things that are killing me right now.

1. people who cut me in line. if i was the person i always thought I would end up being, i would punch all of you in the face. of course, if i was the person i always thought i would end up being, i’d also be a rock star and wouldn’t have to wait in line with the rest of you people.

2. Twitter. I’m getting better about using it and finding a way to integrate it into my life, but at the end of the day, i just don’t need 12 updates per day from people describing the details of their daily life experiences, and i can’t imagine that other people want that from me.

3. Sharply hit ground balls. I KNOW in my head that i have to get low and move in front of the ball and risk the chance that it will bounce up and whack me in the face. My face strongly objects, and convinces the rest of my body to stand to the side and try to “Olé” the ball, which almost always results in it skipping by me into the outfield, making me look like an idiot. stupid ball.

4. Ants. get out of my apartment! seriously. go somewhere else. i will stomp on all of you.

5. Phonies. I know, you thought i loved them.
