There are many reasons to avoid weddings. The inevitable awkward moments, the pandemic of sappy love songs, being forced to make small talk with people you barely know. However, there is one redeeming quality to attending a wedding. I speak, of course, of the dance.
A wedding allows you to dance to your hearts content free from many of the disadvantages that plague establishments of dance. The many slower songs that are a wedding staple make that getting to know you conversation so much easier. The pauses that tend to pepper such communications are smoothed over and the whole process is surprisingly less painful than one would imagine.
Overall, the dancing portion of is generally the highlight of the wedding. It is just so exhilarating! I would dance everyday if I could!

An Epidemic Scourge
As many of you may know, I am a fan of the cell phone. In fact, it is unusual to find me sans phone, but unfortunately some abuse the convenience of these handy little devices. I believe that anyone who works in a service industry can sympathize. Let me share my thoughts on this.
From time to time, I work the cash register at my place of employ and recently I have encountered a profusion of individuals who carry on a conversation while being checked out. They tend to ignore both the cashier and other customers who may be bothered by their obtuseness. This reduces the human element to the cashiering process to little more than scenery in the shopping experience. It objectifies the living, breathing person performing a service. Most of all, however, it is just plain rude.
I propose that all such insensitive and abhorrent individuals be drawn and quartered, shot, and burned at the sake. If such measures are a bit grisly for the modern mind, it should at least be kosher to ask the vagrant to postpone their vocal communion until after they have completed their transaction.

The Deep, Dark Subconscious
It constantly surprises me what lies within the underground recesses of the subconscious. Thoughts, dreams, ideas, people, some long gone, forgotten or pushed aside emerge from their cobwebby holes and terrorize us while we sleep.
It is oddly liberating in a way. In dreams, you can do amazing things. You can fly, you can speak foreign languages, you can do anything. You are limited only by the scope of your imagination. Sleep on, lucky souls. Sail on to the land where dreams may come!
