So I've just knocked out a "sixer" of Sierra Nevada Pale Ale (John & Adam, I know you guys hate it, but stay with me here.....) and I'm bored as snot. The Olympics are leaving many, many, many things to be desired and I have some random yet exciting ideas that I would like to share with you.
First thing's first. I have finally made the transition from my sister's couch to a total stranger's couch!!!!! Hooray!
No, in all reality, I just moved into a new place......well, not just moved....it's been a couple of weeks now. Everything is cool. I have two roommates. Both are girls. That's ok.....i'm used to living with girls.....I have three sisters. I still don't feel like this is home.....it feels more like I'm house-sitting! I wake up in the morning and nobody is here....so i wander around in my boxers, watch TV, eat food that is in the fridge, and kill time until I have to go to work at my job that I loathe. Fun, right?
At least I'm catching up on old episodes of ER!
Something I've also noticed is that "I'm just sayin'..." has become the new phrase to abdictate oneself from all responsibility before stating an observation, comment, or rhetorical question.
For example: "I'm just sayin'.....Your face looks like somebody beat you upside the head with a bag of pennies!"
See? All blame has been removed from the statement.
The phrase can even be used at the end of a sentence:
"Your mom was a whore and now you are a whore..........I'm just sayin' !!"
I've noticed this phrase used by many New Yorker's since moving to the city, and now I'm even picking it up on TV shows and movies. It is weird to feel like you started a phenomenon, but still know that you have very little effect on anyone that has any contact to you.
On the same topic, I've also noticed that "Yeah, yeah, yeah" has replaced "Yada, yada, yada." as the end all, catch all phrase for New Yorkers. This is completely different and totally unrelated to the band, the Yeah Yeah Yeahs.
For example: "Yeah, yeah, yeah. I totally had sex with that girl!"
See how the details of the story no longer matter now that they have been replaced with "yeah, yeah, yeah"?
For your reference, the phrase can also be used to answer questions, state agreement, or even indifference!
So now that I've caught you up on my most recent discoveries and such, I'm off to waste even more time by watching the latest movie I have received from Netflix. Peace!
