Human Nature?

After politely finishing a bag of chips all by myself while my hungry family members just watch me, I thought about something... Have you ever stopped to think about how people greet one another nowadays?

"Wassup?" "How's it hanging?" "Howzit?" "How's it going?"... Now, among others, these are the most common that I have heard. What do these phrases have in common? They all appear to be speaking about SOMETHING! Yes, a noun, something you can touch... "Wassup?"(What's up?)... What do you mean "what's UP!?"... "How's it hanging?"... What do you mean "How's IT hanging?"... What the fuck is the BASIS of these seemingly polite questions!? I find them a tad offensive! How can ask you some one you have just met... "How's IT?" or "What's UP?"... What the fuck is this "IT"!?

I'm sure we can all relate to this scenario either now, or as kids when our foggies use to do this... When you were getting ready to go to some event, one of the individuals that were the cause of your existence get a BRAINSTORM and say "C'mon kids we have to get there just abit earlier so we can get the best seats!"... So you all rush and do a half ass job at trying to look presentable so you can arrive an hour earlier than the proposed time... Only to arrive there and see that the place is PACKED already!? You stand baffled and amazed! Why? Why do people get amazed by this? Did it ever occur to us that maybe, just maybe the other people at this event are just as human as we were and had the same ability to come up with the very same "theory" we assumed to create(and no doubt were just as baffled as we are at how EVERYONE "COPIED" them)!?

Why is it that if someone famous walked into our house, we would cook them a meal and if you were anything like me you would open your trusty bottle of OLMECA and get totally sozzled in celebration of meeting said person but when a homeless dude asks us to spare some change we totally tell him to FUCK OFF and get a job!?

Why is it that everytime chicks buy new clothes, the ones they bought the week before suddenly become OLD, but they never give them away!? (Ladies-Photo's are memories... Not clothes!)

These are just a handful of the things that I wonder about how we are wired and why we do the shit we do!?

Ciao. Stay Tuned! :-)
