title: Chronicles of a Jackass
starring: me
pitch: people do things all the time that make them feel like a jackass. but do they always share? no, because it would make them feel like a bigger jackass, and most times it's better to play it cool. however, i would like to share, not just for my own entertainment, but perhaps also to make others feel, as they silently read to themselves, hey--there is someone out there like me, too. or, they can just think, man, that lady's a jackass.
inspired by: this weekend. little incident involving dishwasher and palmolive soap.
questions: should i use the word "jackass" in the title? it's a funny word that rings well with "chronicles." however, i would like no affiliation whatsover with the MTV show. also, it might be a little harsh--though it is supposed to be more sarcastic than anything. but maybe it is too much of a cliche? hmmm.

i like chronicles of a jackass. bcs sometimes i say, fuck, i'm such a jackass. it's a mild admonishment with a twinge of disgust that you feel and it seems to fit. it's more descriptive than "jerk" and seems to encompass more. also you can picture old spritely men saying it, as if someone was cutting them off or maybe saying it to the teenager who takes the last donut and dribbles crumbs everywhere so the old man says, jackass: disapproving admoishment. a condition of doing or saying something that's self absorbed and more importantly could have been handled differently, with more class or consideration. jackass. an internal barometer. did i just do that. i hope no one saw me.
