I have so much to write about, just not the time, so I'm just gonna write about a little incident last night that shocked the hell out of me.
Steve is officially the biggest asshole on this planet.
Alot of people, as I'm sure you've seen, are wearing the Live Strong yellow bracelets to support Lance Armstrong's cancer organization. My sister and I were out last night, both rocking the yellow bracelets, and we ran into the lovely Mr. Steve and his friends who all also wear them. This guy Bob was really excited to see us wearing them because his grandfather died the other year of cancer. So we're discussing the bracelets and Steve is like "I just want to throw mine away! I hate how stupid people come up to me all the time and are like 'live strong, man!'" My sister and I just stood there in shock. What assinine individual totally refers to a cancer fundraiser as something they want to "throw away"??? He was so pissy about the fact that people always point out his bracelet, but I think he's missing the whole point of it all. First off, it raises mad money and awareness for cancer. Secondly, the bracelets unite people in what I think is a very nice way, because honestly just about everyone has lost someone to cancer and it's cool to see everyone being like "hey let's all get together and kick this cancer shit in the ass". He's obviously way too stupid and self centered to realize what the bracelets are all about.
As if we didn't already think he was a total dickwad for making that comment, he proceeds to tell my sister about how his roommate's dad was diagnosed with cancer and given 2 weeks to live. And then in this total bitchface tone he's like "Yeah, and now it's been 3 weeks and he was walking around today!" I swear my sister's jaw literally hit the floor. His tone of voice pretty much translated his statement into something along the lines of "He only had two weeks what the fuck is he doing still alive???" My sister, after getting over her shock was just like "Ummm... well maybe he's a reason to keep wearing the bracelet."
What a loser.
