It has come to my attention today that a lot of bad things are always sitting on the horizon, just waiting to happen, but are not happening yet. For this, each and every one of us is lucky. I'd like it if you'd read this list of various bad things that could happen to you right now, right this very instant as you sit hunched over in front of your computer dicking around on the internet instead of working, but have thus far chosen to remain at bay. Thank you.
1. Steve Buscemi could bust in your door and just stare at you. He would put one hand on his hip and the other on the door frame and just shake his head in utter, all-encompassing disappointment at your actions. It would not matter what you'd done--Steve would simply stay in the doorway, staring and shaking his head at you, giving you a look that suggests he can't freaking believe that you did this to him. Can't freaking believe it.
2. You could fall off a roller coaster and land on a trampoline. It wouldn't kill you, since it's a trampoline, but you'd probably bounce off and land on something that might. At the very least, you'd now have a lifelong fear of both roller coasters and trampolines, two things which, up until now, had clocked in pretty high on your list of awesome stuff.
3. Your right arm could be ripped off the first and only time you choose to disreguard the classic schoolbus warning of keeping all arms and legs inside the vehicle at all times.
4. You could answer the phone only to find out that the person calling wanted to speak with someone else.
5. You could find your grandmother's personal on Craigslist.
6. You and Billy Crystal could be the only survivors of the apocalypse. Perhaps you were in the process of taking out the AA batteries in the remote control for the never-used TV in your bomb shelter when you come back up the stairs, look out, and discover a brick red sky and skeletons all over the place. Or perhaps you live on a remote island that didn't get any radioactive fallout. Either way, you're stuck with Billy Crystal for the rest of your life.
7. The internet could go out of business, leaving you without access to YouTube or any of the other sites that are virtually necessary to make it through the work day.
8. The steering wheel could come off in your hands when you're driving to K-mart.
9. It could turn out that you're evil, and by the time you realize it, you're already in jail for robbing a hospital.
10. You could ironically die of exposure after your friends finally manage to talk you into competing in the Iditarod dog mushing race.
11. You could accidentally hand in the unflattering doodle you did of your teacher instead of your term paper.
12. You could discover, on your death bed of course, that Stephen King always hated you and that both The Stand and Salem's Lot were actually just elaborate metaphors for how you're a jerk.
13. You could fall down the stairs while going to the basement to retrieve your laundry.
14. You could suffer second degree burns when the remains of a high powered firework lit off in the park on 4th of July unfortunately land in your lap.
15. The raccoon you've been feeding for the past three weeks could turn out to be rabid.
16. The last thing you ever say could be, "No, check this out. Spraying a beehive with the hose is a good way to kill them because it makes their wings wet, and then they can't fly."

That was really creative and amazing.

I don't think I'm really on the market for marriage, but how about facebook friendship!

LOL me neither. So deal!
You know, I had a dream like that about Steve Buscemi once. He really made me feel like a jerk. I felt like I'd just set a box of kittens on fire. In fact, I think I had. Man, my dreams are weird.
Great actor though.
