Strange and Random Thoughts
Welcome to my random thoughts section. This is where I will be putting thoughts and eternal questions I have which don't really fit into any other category.
•the government has a conspiracy to kill Lindsey.
•God is really a 30-legged space worm which lives in Ben's belly-button and is a male chauvenist pig.
•True shallowness is a lot less common than it first appears...deep down, virtually everyone has some kind of ideas. There are very few people in this world who think solely about fashion and dating. And even if people don't show their more thoughtful sides to you, it doesn't mean they don't have any.
•I don't agree with all those people who say it would be fun to go to Hell because their favorite rock stars, etc. would be there. Ignoring for the moment the fact that I don't believe there is a Hell, let me just say this (it's what I would think if I did believe in it): the point of Hell is to be somewhere you don't want to be, as a punishment for doing bad things in your life. (Someone tell me if that's wrong.) Therefore, you'd probably get your own little personal Hell which was suited to be exactly what you didn't like. So you wouln't get to see all these rock stars, because then you would enjoy it and so it wouldn't be Hell.
•If you're ever thinking about saying something to someone, and you're not sure if you should because you're too scared, or you just feel weird, or whatever, do it. Some day, it will be too late (maybe sooner than you think) and you'll wish you had. Believe me...I learned the hard way.
•Have you ever thought that maybe other people see colors differently than you? You can't describe color, and we all call colors the same thing, but maybe what I call blue, another person calls red. It's weird to think about.
•I need a new computer. I really, really need a new computer. My computer is evil.
• Everyone has heard the phrase "honesty is the best policy." But have you ever really thought about it? The way I see it, it is generally true. I'm not talking about little white lies...we all tell them, and they don't tend to do much harm to anyone. But for more important situations, it usually makes a lot more sense just to tell someone the truth. That way, you don't get involved in long involved plots to keep the other person from knowing what's going on. Plus, big lies backfire a lot. Oh yeah...there's also that question of moral values...
•"Maybe" and "maybe not" mean the same thing.
•So do "flammable" and "inflammable."
•Silences are not always awkward.
•As I often say, some things just aren't worth the trouble. This is a good thing to consider in many situations.
•There is no point in writing a person's name on the envelope of a card unless you're sending it to them. If you're handing it to them, it's obviously not going to be for the person next to them. Same thing goes for birthday parties... it's their birthday; you're not going to be giving a card to one of the guests.
•You know those little teeny tiny candies that people give out on Halloween? Why are they called "fun size"? I think the kids would all have a lot more fun if they got a full candy bar instead of some dinky piece of candy which is a quarter the size (if even that).
•I hate teeth.
•I also hate when I have a really interesting random thought, and then all of a sudden I completely forget what it was.
•It's stupid to offer different sizes when you also offer free refills.
•The phrase "what's up?" is completely pointless. It's expected to be answered, yet there's only one basic answer: "not much". There are much better ways to start a conversation.
•The word "monosyllabic" has five syllables.
•Alex says: the U.S. government should be called a hypocrisy, not a democracy.
•Why is it that my dryer, made by the same company as the washing machine, can fit twice as much clothing?
•I am very, very glad my name isn't Slobodan.
•Some food for thought: To err is human, to forgive is divine. But is it more divine to forgive or to apologize? I think it can differ depending on the case, but I tend to think it's harder to apologize. When you forgive someone, the chance is presented to you, while to apologize, you have to take initiative yourself in addition to just making the apology.
•If there is something you like about someone, be it clothing, personality traits, writing skills or anything else, tell them. It could make their day.
•One of Tara's random thoughts (which I wholeheartedly agree with):" the grading system in school sucks. It doesnt measure your mental capacity at all, only your ability to abide by and adapt to the system. Tests for example...i personally tend not to study for tests..one reason is im too lazy, and another is that if i had properly learned the material when it was assigned, i should have retained enough knowledge to do well on my own, without countless hours of studying the night before. i learn a lot in a lot of things we do...what gets me is the homework."
•Some very interesting thoughts from Julia which got their own page because they took up a lot of space
•How do parking lot attendants--the ones who raise the little bar so you can drive out--get out of the parking lot if nobody has a shift after them?
•according to Tara and Alana, God has no legs. Yes, I know that I already said God has 30 legs but people can have different beliefs, can't they?
•some revelations I've had over the years: horseback riding is a very, very strange activity; humans as a whole are extremely stupid and inconsiderate...all the other inhabitants of the world just mind their own business, but we go and screw around with everything around us instead of keeping to ourselves; the concept of zoos is cruel and pretty pointless; i know I've had others but I can't think of them right now.
•I just went to the orthodontist and got my braces off. I had them for almost 5 years. It was about time. I hate my orthodontist...my mother was acting really nice and saying, "thank you so much", etc., etc., but I didn't feel the need to. After all, having fixed up my teeth does not make him less of a jerk. And it's not as if he did anything that some other (nicer) orthodontist couldn't have done. But perhaps it's a rule that orthodontists have to be jerks and an alternative orthodontist wouldn't have been any better. I don't know. I'm still not as happy as I should be, though. First of all, the process of removing the braces was not fun, to say the least. When he pulled off my brackets, I wondered if he was taking some of my teeth with them. It hurt. When he sanded the glue off my teeth, not only did it make my mouth bleed, but it also made my entire head buzz and feel like it was going to explode. And then, when they took impressions of my teeth for a retainer, I almost vomited. I gagged at least 5 times. It was not comfortable. Finally, when I thought it was all over for good, my orthodontist told me (well actually he told my mother more than me--he never says anything important directly to me; he's a jerk) that I will probably need more gum surgery. And this is, if I understood what he was saying, the exact same gum surgery that I already got a year ago. Aaaaargh! All in all, I'm still feeling peeved.
•I wish I didn't run into so many compulsive liars.
•This occurred to me when I saw a statue of a naked lady sitting in the back of a truck the other day: why is it totally acceptable for statues of naked people to be seen in public, but real naked people in public can be punished by law?
•(this one thanks to Alana)...Britney Spears's initials are B.S.
•Ryan says: people who flash the thumbs up sign along with the peace sign and wink at the same time should not be allowed to live.....you should not iron your jeans under any circumstances.
•Corey says (this is the most insightful comment I've ever heard): "Damn, I'm hot sexy..."
•Something creepy that happened to me the other day:
I was coming out of the supermarket, which had a Salvation Army person outside ringing one of those damn bells (see the "Things That Make You Say Ick" section), and I was thinking about how irritating it was. But I was just thinking it to myself, keeping a pretty much straight face, as I walked past the Salvation Army person. So all of a sudden, right after I walked by, the person just stopped ringing the bell. (*cue the Twilight Zone music*) And I have never in my life seen one of those people stop the ringing for any reason. And this was not just a momentary pause; the person didn't start ringing again until I was almost out of hearing range. I've always thought I had psychic powers, but still this was a little spooky...
•Did Fred Durst get permission to rip off a line from Eve 6's song "Inside Out"? ("put my tender heart in a blender"...I thought it was hilarious the first time I heard it.) If I were Freddy-boy, I might be a little embarrassed about that...
•As if I wasn't disgusted enough with Kid Rock already. Yes, folks, he has finally decided to git sentimental on yo' ass. Only god knows why he's putting us through this torture...
•I have the same birthday as Thomas Pynchon, Don Rickles, Melissa Gilbert, Enrique Iglesias, and Harry Truman. (To annoy you all a little, you can go figure out what date that is by yourself, if you care enough about it.)
•I don't understand the sudden popularity of blonde, teenage, scantily-clad, female pop singers. I think they're actually all the same person trying to make a lot of money. Maybe even those Hanson kids could be in on it...
a rant about the pointlessness of school, etc. brought to you by Cardeese. It gets its own page because, once again, it's really big.
