The people I'd like to meet include just about anyone. People with similar interests are great, people who also have friends/family in Iraq, or whoever. If I know you/used to know you, definitely contact me; I'd love to hear from you!People who I don't care to meet:
Douchebags. Most of us know who belongs in this category, but I'll break it down, just in case you might fall in there and not know it.1. You feel that those who do not share (or at least act in accordance with) your approximate religious beliefs will go to hell, purgatory, limbo, hades, a lake of fire, the void, or wherever when they die.
2. You drive a large vehicle because you "need the room for your kids." Nothing against large vehicles, but seriously, get a tape and measure the kids. If you really birthed some gargantuan Mongoloid who can't cram into a Mini Cooper, just buy a normal car anyway and tie his fat ass to the luggage rack.
3. You feel that support of a war or the President are criteria by which you can gauge someone's patriotism.
4. You feel that necessary preparations to attend a family member's funeral include fake tanning.
5. Exaggerated coughing is your way of telling people that you prefer they not smoke.
6. Your baby and/or dog has its own designer outfits.
7. You have something called a spiritual diet, which if not followed, makes you, like, totally bummed.
8. You still get weepy thinking about all the people that lost their homes in Katrina, but you're against the low-cost housing project next to your neighborhood.There you go. You're probably thinking to yourself, "Wow, this guy sounds like a bad stand-up comedian," unless you are a douchebag, in which case you're probably thinking, "A Yoplait sounds really good right now, but I don't know if I want to do the extra crunches to work it off." Either way, you know where you stand.
