first world problems.

1. If Jeremy Lin is the American dream, than i quit America.  What a story of overcoming hardships.  Overcoming not being drafted to the pros after your senior at Harvard.  HARVARD?  perseverance at its finest.  I'm sorry, but your a harvard grad, AND a pro basketball player?  Let's stop the lin-sanity.

If you're the underdog, then what the f*** am I????
FIRST WORLD PROBLEMS


2.  When i am driving and listening to NPR, i cant tell the difference between the weird sounds from the experimental music and people honking at me.  That and i really don't care if people are honking at me.  I drive how i want.


FIRST WORLD PROBLEMS


3.  My legs finally stopped hating me, so i went for a run last night.  Despite checking the weather repeatedly, a freak freezing rain/wind storm popped up to ruin my night.  Also, there was another god damn raccoon - only this time it charged at me.  or maybe i was just in its way.  Either way i panicked.

Rain - FIRST WORLD PROBLEMS


4.  They are changing all the air filters at work and it is making my allergies act up.  The sacrifices i have to make for clean, filtered air!


Clean air - FIRST WORLD PROBLEMS


5. Marathon training hunger is officially here.  I cannot get full no matter how much i eat, and it sucks, and is causing me to lash out at people in a hunger-induced rage.  Yesterday, my coworker knew that fuddruckers was having a 5 lb burger food challenge, and went there without me, just because "i don't eat red meat"  If you ever stand in the way of me and 5lbs of food, i will attack you like a honey badger.

6.  I am hosting my book club this weekend, and have completely neglected to read the book.  Now i either have to read the whole thing on Saturday, or watch the movie with Scarlett Johansson.

I don't know which is worse.


***not that it matters, we are just going to drink champagne and talk about celebrities anyway....
FIRST WORLD PROBLEMS


7.  Because i am such a good samaritan, i ordered these shoes:

When you buy a pair of toms, they donate a pair to the third world.  How do they reward my philanthropy?  Two weeks to ship??  ARGHHHHH!


FIRST WORLD PROBLEMS


8.  I think Chicago has had more alcohol induced '"driving the wrong way on the highway" crashes than the rest of the country combined.  Are we bad drivers, or just refusing to conform to oppression of traffic control regime?

FIRST WORLD PROBLEMS


9.  I wrote down a few first world problems at work yesterday, but i usually don't schlep in until 9, so now i can't complete the first world problems until then.
