The Look

Man it's late I know it but I was messin' around on that website Facebook and I'll be damned if it didn't remind me that some people out there just have the Look. You know what I'm talking about, where a person just has a way about their face and their expressions and the way they hold a cup that just makes you wonder what the fuck that person may think about during a long plane flight or what they would do when forced with a decision of suspect moral clarity. There are some freaky-ass people out there, but the freaky ones aren't the guy you see sittin' with no pants on the sidewalk barking at the squirrels because that guy is predictable. He will be there with the squirrels and without the pants every day until he is dead or until his mind creates a new realm for him to frolic in. The freaky ones are the blond cheerleader with that look that makes you initially think everything is all right and then you see she doesn't look directly into the camera in photographs and is always standing behind a plant or something and you start to wonder if this isn't the type of person who might grow up and marry a comedian and shoot him in cold blood for no apparent reason like Phil Hartman's wife did. These are the people who get addicted to prescription drugs and drink Skyy vodka, these are the people who crash their Mercedes into a light pole at 4am on Christmas Eve, these are the people who cannot see the magic of children and the beauty of sunsets.
