A little bit o' the ol' Webwanderin'

Everyday my time at the desk is spent in a pleasant routine: Checking my work e-mail, responding should I happen to have inbox presents, overhearing the co-workers ramble (sometime joining in, other times religiously scribbling down what they say for further usage in my wonderment), and scanning Reddit for interesting tidbits from around the internets (thankfully, I have not yet reached the end of the internet and have therefore been able to avoid the blackhole that is 4chan...but I fear this time is nigh).

I'll admit it, I'm guilty of gazing up at the rail thin models in American Eagle and wishing I could don those low-rider jeans and floral tanktop as I wandered across a perpetually backlit meadow with a frozen vacant smile on my rosy lips. Instead, I suffer myself to don form flattering hipster jeans and a trusty ol' t-shirt as I stroll down a perpetually smog ridden concrete wonderland with a frozen sneer of "don't look at my iPod Mr. Scary Stranger" embedded in my dead, cold, fear-ridden eyes.
