Not Quite Home

                It has dawned on me that I don’t quite fit in at my apartment complex. I don’t mean to be a jerk, but I am pretty sure I have a few steps up on most of these people on the societal ladder. Case-in-point: the guy across the way drives an old full-size pickup and has a mullet. A real, honest to god, no doubt about it, does he own a mirror, his barber should be disbarred, mullet. It seems like everyone who lives here is either black or overweight. Don’t get me wrong though, the only thing I have against black people is that they are the only other category aside from overweight. There are few residents who are not that big and just seem unhealthy or have styles that are not my favorite, such as punk. Yeah, not a fan of the slightly dirty look. As my friend Katie put it, there is not much to look forward to when the pool opens. (shudders)

“Here’s looking at you…indirectly…and trying not to at all…please don’t sense the disdain oozing from my pores.”

  1. Pretty sure barbers aren't barred in the first place.
