Cleaning ...

It's the most unsatisfying thing you can do .... cleaning.

The only time my house gets a good cleaning is when guests are coming over. Unfortunately, friends were staying at the den this weekend which meant I had to clean the place. So, I took off a couple days due to the extensive scrubbing that would have to be done, picked up some cleaning supplies, watched about 3 hours of TV procrastinating, than got down to work!!

Bathroom, kitchen, living room, bedrooms ... I even got out the stainless steel cleaner and made the fridge/stove combo sparkle!!

After all this work I was ready for guests ... which is where the unsatisfying part comes into play. They walked in the door... walked to their bedroom, used the bathroom, wondered through the kitchen, and peered out the window into the backyard. Not one word came out of their mouth at how awesomely clean the house was. They never said anything about how good the towels smelt, or how great the lawn looked. All they could talk about was my nerf gun collection.

Whatever ... my nerf gun collection is pretty awesome so I didn't mind. But here's the part that is annoying ... if I hadn't done all that cleaning ... they would have noticed how gross I am ... but in an effort to not be that gross guy, I spent hours and days cleaning that stupid house just to get no response.

That's why I hate cleaning ... and that's why I think its useless.

Now I understand why my better half never wants to go camping with me ... she might wake up in a tent, freezing to death with a foot of snow on the ground!! What is happening!?

Cypress Hills Park got over a foot of snow on the weekend!! I know people who were getting married there ... how crappy is that!!?

While we're on this topic though ... if I see one more person on Facebook with the status "So much for global warming" I'm gonna track them down in person, and punch them in the face! This is what global warming is ... know what your talking about ... idiots!!
