Define "Starving"

Here is another one about my infamous big brother.

First of all, you have to understand something about this guy, he doesn't like to be wrong or told that someone out there has had it worse than him. Don't get me wrong, I wouldn't call him a liar, I just think he makes stuff up in his head, stretches of the truth if you will, and he honestly believes what comes out of his mouth.

Anyway, a conversation came up about people being hungry and claiming that they were "starving". I was simply saying that most people have never and will never in their whole entire lives, be starving, but he had to jump in with his stories of living on the street when his mom kicked him out and tell me that he wad actually not eaten for a whole week, so don't tell him that he has never been starving.

*rolls eyes*

Later when my best friend and I were talking about the previous conversation, I told her that he was in and out of family and friend's houses and I'm sure that he ate something in that 7 day period, so technically he wasn't starving.

Starving makes me and probably a lot of you out there, think about those kids in Africa with malnourished bellies that you can feed for 80 cents a day, not someone that eats and just doesn't eat enough. I mean starving is so much worse than that. I doubt that if you look up the word starving in the dictionary, you will see this:

Starving: adj. meaning eating sometimes.

If I am wrong, someone alert Webster and tell him he made a mistake, 'cause I looked it up and he agrees with ME.

I Mean Sometimes It's Night...

When asked about his job as a welder/iron worker my brother once said, "the light of the torch is 3 times brighter than the sun." I love my brother, but I refused to believe that this was true. So what, you ask, was my argument? Well here goes,

"The sun is bright enough to light up the whole earth, I mean sometimes it's night, but" and I stopped right there because that was just funny and stupid sounding all at once. But regardless of my ditzy rebuttal to his claim, I am right about this, I know I am.

I mean come on, its the freakin sun for cryin out loud, nothing tops that huge sphere of luminous heat that gives life to all, especially not a freakin torch that makes metal stick together. It just simply isn't true. So ha.
