Things I'm Not Comfortable With: The Cousin Kenny Chronicles (Vol. 11)

I've had my headphones on all evening...Grooving, to the sounds of the 70s and listening to some smoking cessation tapes consisting of whale farts and waves crashing against rocks located on the coast of California that these days, have more rights bestowed upon them by our government than that same government bestows upon myself.

I have been in a mood of late....Very uncomfortable. Uncomfortable not with myself...Not by any means...I have a dog, a car, and every album the Rolling Stones ever made. That pretty much qualifies me to speak on any subject. No, I'm uncomfortable with things...things and people...People who are doing things...Remembering what my incarceration counselor once told me, during one of our anger management sessions, I took out my pen and created a list of those things and people...The only paper I had available was an Arby's bag...It's 5 for $5.95 now...it used to be 5 for $5...those days are gone forever.

I'm uncomfortable that our President knows how to properly pronounce "Pak-i-stan" and "Tal-i-ban", but thinks Austrians speak "Austrian".

I'm uncomfortable that Full House is still in syndication and I can't find Gilligan's Island on any channel.

I'm uncomfortable that Iraqi citizens show more respect for our veterans than the Director of Homeland Security.

I'm uncomfortable with the fact that the First Lady is wearing $540 sneakers and I can't even find two socks that match.

I have several more entries in my list, but the remainder are covered in Arby's sauce. Did I mention that it's now 5 for $5.95? It's still a good deal. It will take time for said sauce to dry and I'm able to post the remainder of the list. Until then...

Cheers,

Cousin Kenny
