On Love and Hate

Published 22 December 05 10:30 AM | Jason Looney 

Sometimes I love being me.  But most of the time, I hate it.  Never am I anywhere between these extremes.

I sleep a third of each day away, and it's in this happy, happy time that I'm fairly fond of myself.  In my dreams I lose complete track of reality.  This is why I wake up expecting to see Brad Pitt in the mirror, but instead find Gollum, from Lord of the Rings, if only Gollum, from Lord of the Rings, weighed a buck eighty and glowed bright white.

My waking hours are filled with self-loathing.  If Larry David has taught me anything, this means I must be part Jewish.  Although... aren't Jewish people supposed to be good with money?  I must only have a little bit of Jew in me then  — probably in that toenail on my left foot.  You know, the one who always refers to himself as Ishmael.  (Hi Ishmael!)

Yep.  I just gave a shout-out to my Jewish toenail. 

Thank you for stopping by today.
