Short "Story"

I think the primary reason I'm not religious is that none of my airport dreams come true. I always hope to sit next to an attractive woman and always end up sitting next to a fat man. And I inevitably end up behind a "sigly". That's a term I just made up for the asshole who leans his seat all the way back. Short for "significant leaner". You'll notice I used the pronoun "his" there and I did so on purpose! It's always a dude. But maybe God is just a great comedian.

If I were God, I'd definitely spend a good portion of my day dicking around. Like wake up, brush my teeth if I feel like going out that day, ignore horrific acts of violence, maybe fix some small shit here and there and then fuck with people. Like not on a large scale, just tiny shit that really pisses people off. Have it rain on that obsessive weather checker or get a celebrity's face stuck in someone's head but give them no recourse as to how to figure out who it is. Follow them around as they try to get people to help: "Dude he was in that thing with that chick who's like really tall but you'd still go for her. How do you not know who I'm talking about?? FUCK!" I'm like 36% sure famine and war occur because God's not paying attention to that depressing shit.

I'd never do anything even if I did get to sit next to a beautiful woman, I don't know why I hope for it. It's purely aspirational, like buying a treadmill or not committing suicide. In the back of your mind you think "if I did have a chance where one was trapped with me I could eventually charm her" and you dream out this whole wonderful scenario. But A) that's creepy and B) it would never ever happen for me. I'm kind of the lichen of people. You don't notice me at first but I'll eventually grow on you. Science joke! But yeah in actuality, I'd probably just sit there and make these super awkward half-neck turns just to see if there was any mutual neck-turn interest. And then I'm the weirdo stretching his neck every five minutes. Oh well.
