Aaron Karo Ruminations
1. I wish Google Maps had an "Avoid Ghetto" routing option.
2. More often than not, when someone is telling me a story all I can think about is that I can't wait for them to finish so that I can tell my own story that's not only better, but also more directly involves me.
3. Nothing sucks more than that moment during an argument when you realize you're wrong.
4. I don't understand the purpose of the line, "I don't need to drink to have fun." Great, no one does. But why start a fire with flint and sticks when they've invented the lighter?
5. Have you ever been walking down the street and realized that you're going in the complete opposite direction of where you are supposed to be going? But instead of just turning a 180 and walking back in the direction from which you came, you have to first do something like check your watch or phone or make a grand arm gesture and mutter to yourself to ensure that no one in the surrounding area thinks you're crazy by randomly switching directions on the sidewalk.
6. That's enough, Nickelback.
7. I totally take back all those times I didn't want to nap when I was younger.
8. The letters T and G are very close to each other on a keyboard. This recently became all too apparent to me and consequently I will never be ending a work email with the phrase "Regards" again.
9. Do you remember when you were a kid, playing Nintendo and it wouldn't work? You take the cartridge out, blow in it and that would magically fix the problem. Every kid in America did that, but how did we all know how to fix the problem? There was no internet or message boards or FAQ's. We just figured it out. Today's kids are soft.
10. There is a great need for sarcasm font.
11. Sometimes, I'll watch a movie that I watched when I was younger and suddenly realize I had no idea what the fuck was going on when I first saw it.
12. I think everyone has a movie that they love so much, it actually becomes stressful to watch it with other people. I'll end up wasting 90 minutes shiftily glancing around to confirm that everyone's laughing at the right parts, then making sure I laugh just a little bit harder (and a millisecond earlier) to prove that I'm still the only one who really, really gets it.
14. How the hell are you supposed to fold a fitted sheet?
15. I would rather try to carry 10 plastic grocery bags in each hand than take 2 trips to bring my groceries in.
16. I think part of a best friend's job should be to immediately clear your computer history if you die.
17. The only time I look forward to a red light is when I'm trying to finish a text.
18. A recent study has shown that playing beer pong contributes to the spread of mono and the flu. Yeah, if you suck at it.
19. Was learning cursive really necessary?
20. Lol has gone from meaning, "laugh out loud" to "I have nothing else to say".
21. I have a hard time deciphering the fine line between boredom and hunger.
22. Answering the same letter three times or more in a row on a Scantron test is absolutely petrifying.
23. My brother's Municipal League baseball team is named the Stepdads. Seeing as none of the guys on the team are actual stepdads, I inquired about the name. He explained, "Cuz we beat you, and you hate us." Classy, bro.
24. Whenever someone says "I'm not book smart, but I'm street smart", all I hear is "I'm not real smart, but I'm imaginary smart".
25. How many times is it appropriate to say "What?" before you just nod and smile because you still didn't hear what they said?
26. I love the sense of camaraderie when an entire line of cars teams up to prevent a dick from cutting in at the front. Stay strong, brothers!
27. Every time I have to spell a word over the phone using 'as in' examples, I will undoubtedly draw a blank and sound like a complete idiot. Today I had to spell my boss's last name to an attorney and said "Yes that's G as in...(10 second lapse)..ummm...Goonies"
28. What would happen if I hired two private investigators to follow each other?
29. While driving yesterday I saw a banana peel in the road and instinctively swerved to avoid it...thanks Mario Kart.
30. MapQuest really needs to start their directions on #5. Pretty sure I know how to get out of my neighborhood.
31. Obituaries would be a lot more interesting if they told you how the person died.
32. I find it hard to believe there are actually people who get in the shower first and THEN turn on the water.
33. Shirts get dirty. Underwear gets dirty. Pants? Pants never get dirty, and you can wear them forever.
35. I can't remember the last time I wasn't at least kind of tired.
36. Bad decisions make good stories
37. Whenever I'm Facebook stalking someone and I find out that their profile is public I feel like a kid on Christmas morning who just got the Red Ryder BB gun that I always wanted. 546 pictures? Don't mind if I do!
38. Is it just me or do high school girls get sluttier & sluttier every year?
39. If Carmen San Diego and Waldo ever got together, their offspring would probably just be completely invisible.
40. Why is it that during an ice-breaker, when the whole room has to go around and say their name and where they are from, I get so incredibly nervous? Like I know my name, I know where I'm from, this shouldn't be a problem....
41. You never know when it will strike, but there comes a moment at work when you've made up your mind that you just aren't doing anything productive for the rest of the day.
42. Can we all just agree to ignore whatever comes after DVDs? I don't want to have to restart my collection.
43. There's no worse feeling than that millisecond you're sure you are going to fall and hit your head after leaning your chair back a little too far.
44. I'm always slightly terrified when I exit out of Word and it asks me if I want to save any changes to my ten page research paper that I swear I did not make any changes to.
45. "Do not machine wash or tumble dry" means I will never wash this ever.
46. I hate being the one with the remote in a room full of people watching TV. There's so much pressure. 'I love this show, but will they judge me if I keep it on? I bet everyone is wishing we weren't watching this. It's only a matter of time before they all get up and leave the room. Will we still be friends after this?'
47. While watching the Olympics, I find myself cheering equally for China and USA. No, I am not of Chinese descent, but I am fairly certain that when Chinese athletes don't win, they are executed.
48. I hate when I just miss a call by the last ring (Hello? Hello? Damnit!), but when I immediately call back, it rings nine times and goes to voicemail. What'd you do after I didn't answer? Drop the phone and run away?
49. I hate leaving my house confident and looking good and then not seeing anyone of importance the entire day. What a waste.
50. When I meet a new girl, I'm terrified of mentioning something she hasn't already told me but that I have learned from some light internet stalking.
51. I really like all of the music in my iTunes, except when it's on shuffle, then I like about one in every fifteen songs in my iTunes.
52. Why is a school zone 20 mph? That seems like the optimal cruising speed for pedophiles...
53. As a driver I hate pedestrians, and as a pedestrian I hate drivers, but no matter what the mode of transportation, I always hate cyclists.
54. Sometimes I'll look down at my watch 3 consecutive times and still not know what time it is.
55. It should probably be called Unplanned Parenthood.
56. I keep some people's phone numbers in my phone just so I know not to answer when they call.
58. Even if I knew your social security number, I wouldn't know what do to with it.
59. Even under ideal conditions people have trouble locating their car keys in a pocket, hitting the G-spot, and Pinning the Tail on the Donkey - but I'd bet my ass everyone can find and push the Snooze button from 3 feet away, in about 1.7 seconds, eyes closed, first time every time...
60. My 4-year old son asked me in the car the other day "Dad what would happen if you ran over a ninja?" How the hell do I respond to that?
61. It really pisses me off when I want to read a story on CNN.com and the link takes me to a video instead of text.
62. I wonder if cops ever get pissed off at the fact that everyone they drive behind obeys the speed limit.
63. I think the freezer deserves a light as well.
2. More often than not, when someone is telling me a story all I can think about is that I can't wait for them to finish so that I can tell my own story that's not only better, but also more directly involves me.

Thoughts on Friendship
within these past few weeks I've been doing so much, actually, too much thinking.
We all go our separate ways in life. We may head in similar directions (career, location, etc) but our paths in life ultimately diverge because we are not the same person. The closest things to an exception are your family and the one you end up marrying, because those ties cannot or should not be broken. Thoughts on this:
1. So in the end, what keeps you connected to people once you are blown out of college into a million different directions? Ultimately it's gotta be the mutual enjoyment you get from each other's company. With no heartfelt enjoyment out of time spent together, there's no true desire to keep the friendship alive and it will probably fade with time. Harsh, but lets be real.
2. I believe that the true tests of friendship are time and distance. We all have a ton of "hang out" friends, but what happens if two monkeys can't hang from the same tree no mo'? Or if one monkey goes banana hunting, gets lost, and doesn't return until 4 years later? Prime examples: a. Going to different colleges and b.studying abroad.
Removed from the same environment for several months, there must be some element of REALNESS rather than CONVENIENCE that holds you steadfast to one another. Think about it and you may be able to distinguish the ones that tickle your heart. Those are the ones to cherish.
3. Not to say don't cherish the others. If you end up being co-workers with a cool monkey, friend them. Sometimes the most fun you have is joking around with people you barely know. Maybe you'll end up marrying them, maybe you'll never hear from or see them after a year. whatever. enjoy them anyway because you have nothing to lose.
4. I think another reason I'm so compelled to write this friendship post is because these past few weeks have surprised me. I admit that during busy semesters at Berkeley, communication with my hometown friends is barely a pulse. But in the past few weeks, I've taken a step back into the lives of my old buddies and realize how rich and unifying a shared past is. I feel like I've had more real fun with you guys these past 3 weeks than the time I've spent in the shithole that Berkeley has been to me this past semester.
5 highlights so far to remember in the future cus my memory right now sucks:
1. Being cougars and jumping into the MV Pool with a bunch of high school freshmen during PE, posing as "Annie and Jelene" the 2 lynbrook freshmen who transferred on the last week of school
2. pink godzilla, Climbing tree 9 at UCSC and getting lost in the forest, TIED with underground tunnel exploring at UCI
TIE
3. Clubbing and 4am McDonalds run
4. Birthday surprise
5. HIMYM, freeaks and geeks, set, guitar hero, guitar, and getting ownd in smash -.-
+ the inevitable random tangents.
1. 50 dollar giftcard from Urban! Who's down for some shoppppping!
2. This is a long ass post. I have too much time, I'm actually very glad MCATs and work starts next week.
3. It was a week ago we were eating duck at 3am, watching PS I love you before seeing you off to the airport. Fly off to bigger things and make the world yours. I miss you because August is so far away =[ I found the most unflattering picture to commemorate you in this post:

hap- E(piphany)
so im currently sitting next to a good friend at the coop library and in the midst of "labwork studying" (yeah, right,) I totally just had the largest epiphany ever.
sometimes if you live in fakeness for too long, you think what you have is real so you cheat yourself into settling because you WANT it to be something.
BUT
when it actually right, you don't have to work for the feeling, it just happens. it just clicks and everything fits so well you actually say to yourself WOW i got myself a human being that gets me. and when you laugh it comes from the middle of your insides and when you think, your thoughts are clever and real and and everything is golden.
thanks friend, you dunno it but u saved my life today.
---
on another note, something I never told anyone before until today: When I was in middle school I had a mad crush on this boy in my PE class. We talked a lot on AIM and I was so bored one day at home I tried to guess his password, and I got it. It was "Piedmont"
yes i am tricksy ;)
