Alex has been having an "identity crisis" of sorts recently, which has led to him eating a lot of fried chicken and drinking sweet tea. Two nights ago he wrote a letter to the Arizona Tea Company praising them for their product, and he received a box full of goodies from them today. Meanwhile, I can't even get my iPOD out of China, which I ordered over a week ago. It's not fair.

Speaking of things not being fair, how can gas stations charge for air? My tires are in need, but I have no quarters, and it seems silly to specifically get quarters just to pay for AIR. I'm buying all of the water fountains in the tri-state area and charging a dime per squirt of water.

Finally, if you ever need an extreme boost to your self-esteem, take the civil service test. You'll feel like the smartest (cleanest, best dressed) person on earth.
