And A Half...

today i am 33 and a half. it hit me as i was walking from the train to the office. a thought least likely to give me an anuerism at 9am.

• because i can't process immigration reform where illegal aliens who are generally believed to be earning below minimum wage are expected to come up with $5,000 in fines (and i am not even sure if that is per person or per family). because if they have that kind of money just lying around, i need to reassess my pay.
• because i can't keep track of how many are dying every day in say iraq or darfur because i always come back to - ummm don't the people run out?
• because i can't even begin to think about how virgin testing of just girls in south africa is supposed to stop the spread of aids - apparently guys can totally be trusted. and shame on me for being skeptical, even before 9am.
• and once the patent runs out, they are probably going to market viagara as medication for jet lag. and somehow that makes sense to someone.

did i mention that i'm 33 and a half today? AND A HALF!!
