I lack any witty or zippy title name.

Well well now, this is starting to turn into the real thing. Blog #2! Hot damn! I will get the boring updates out of the way early. I’m fine. Alisha is fine. Work sucks. School sucks. The only joy either of has is when we are hunkered down in the apartment doing nothing together . It is outrageously hot, the bugs are abnormally huge, and we have been watching far too much 90s comedy sitcoms. And now, on to the more interesting and funny stuff.

Speaking of work though, I would like to, ever so briefly talk about it. Working in retail is in some aspects universal. There are some codes that can get paged in order to respond to different scenarios. They are all very serious. For example, a code brown is a shooting, a code red is a fire, etc.  It is worth mentioning that the color purple is not used in this scheme. To change the topic slightly, Manhattan is a college town and thusly 90% of the people have K-State garb. K-State happens to be just like Weber State in that they are both the Wildcats and both have the color purple. Now, going back to the fact that this is a college town, and the fact that I work in, for lack of a better term, a “grocery store,” there are frequently customers that are women and of college age. Now, with this information in hand, I shall go back to the color scheme for serious incidents. I was diligently working in my area when one of my co-workers came up to me and said, did you see the code purple? At first, this slightly distressed me. I thought some serious shit happened and I missed it. I said no.  Then, “What?” He then smiled a little bit, and said, “You know, the two code purples that just walked by.” It slowly dawned on me as I saw the two young ladies walking by. Ah yes, a code purple! Well then, in that case, “Yes, as a matter of fact I did see those code purples. There have been quite a few of them in here tonight.” The other guy smiles and says, “ya, that happens a lot here.” My reply was simple and sweet, “Awesome!” That was my induction into code purple. Needless to say, Alisha did not find this story very amusing. ;)

This brings me to my theory on relationships and the viewing of the opposite sex. While dating, the world is a petting zoo. When you are in a serious relationship, or married, the world is a zoo. Allow for some explanation.  While dating, you can look and touch, much like a petting zoo. But while in a committed relationship, there is only looking, much like the Zoo. For a while now I have found that I am ok with the Zoo lifestyle. Precious moments :)

However, Alisha’s feminist personality perplexes me sometimes. For example, before we left for Kansas, we were doing the mundane and monotonous  arranging of stuff for the move. So there I am, navigating this mammoth coffee table into the back seat of her car while she is kinda sitting there and staring at me.  So while I using my Herculean strength to put this table in there, I calmingly ask in a half annoyed voice, “are you gonna help me or stand there?” Her response was half feminist rhetoric and half laziness, “No, I think I’ll leave that to the men.” BLAH! What is this nonsense!?!?!? This aggravates me further and prompted me to say, “well if it’s the man’s job to do the heavy lifting then why don’t you do the woman’s job and get in the kitchen and make me a sandwich.” HAHAHAHAHA. I should of won this argument. I turned her sexist comment back on her. Take that! But as I am sure, you all know what happened, Alisha got annoyed and left. =/  But not before she yelled at me a little bit. On a side note, my dad thought this story was hilarious, until Alisha came walking in and then abruptly stopped laughing and said,  “that was very wrong Zack.” Well now, I see how it is. I should be a feminist too.

Now, On to a completely separate and unrelated note. I don’t know how many of you peruse the RAGE COMICS on MEMEBASE at FAILBLOG.ORG, but I suggest that all of you do. There are some hella funny comics on there. This one is a small little nugget that is Alisha Massen to the letter.

Well, that is all for now. Laters
