| | For the next few days I'll be transferring all my old blog entries from other sites to this site. So, the next following entries will be all those old ramblings.
Here's some random thoughts of mine:
TOLL-PEOPLE: I've always wondered about the toll-people, you know, the slightly depressed and very bored looking people you hand your money to at toll-booths. Why are they there? Was this their goal in life- to spend their days collecting money from strangers passing by in shiney cars? Do they get lonely? Is it hot inside those little metal boxes? Hmm... one day, I'm going to make these big gift-baskets filled with lots of yummy stuff and hand them out to the toll-people. I bet the life of a toll-person is pretty rough, they deserve a little treat, right?
SIDEWALK CRACKS: Have you seen those evenly placed slits in the sidewalks? Do you know what they are for? At first, I had no clue why they were there. I used to think that maybe the government put them there because of that one little ryhme, the "step on a crack and break your mother's back" ryhme. I figured it was this huge conspiracy. I consulted a friend on the matter, who concluded to me that the cracks in the sidewalks are there for the "gangsters" to look at while the sit around outside, wasting the tax-payer's money. Though, I didn't quite get that. So I consulted another friend who gave me the true, scientific, explanation- something to do with the concrete expanding and contracting, moisture, seasons, and blah blah blah. I didn't much get the one either- too boring.
RIBS: I have fairly recently, well not too recently though it still feels like it was just yesterday, discovered that ribs (the kind you'd eat) are actual RIBS (the kind we have in our own bodies). Does anybody else find that disturbing? Back when I ate meat, I used to love eating ribs- very deliscious. However, I never really realized what they were untill my stepdad made a remark about them. I think that was one of the things that first got me started on being a vegetarian- I just couldn't look at meat the same. I now saw it as body parts of animals, like body parts of a person.
SHAKESPEARE: I always think how cool it'd be if everyone talked like Shakespeare. Imagine. To call someone stupid you'd say something like: "Thou dost speak with thy tongues of a thousand fools". And to tell somone you like them, you'd say: "Sweet nymph, how my heart beats at thy pressence, like cupid's white wings as he flutters about, planting his love-arrows through a lover's chest". And a "yo mama" joke would be something like: "Thou mother art so greatly vacuous that she trippeth upon thy phone cord when thou phone dost hath no cord". I think the world would be a much better place if everyone just talked like that. :]
LOBSTERS: Boy, the life of a lobster must be dreadfully awful. They get caught-up, en masse, and shipped to grocery stores and restraunts where they sit in crowded fish tanks, with their claws all bound-up, and horridly await for people to come along and pick which one they want to eat. I can't stand that- the fact that you can stare at them and size them up and pick which one of them you want to die. Poor lobsters. Imagine if we did that with other animals, like cows for example. Could you picture yourself at the store, staring at a line of cute lil' cows and then picking-out which one of them you would like for dinner, and then, perhaps, which specific part of the body you want.
DUST-BUNNIES: Okay, really, who named them and how did they get the name "dust-bunnies"? Did someone, one day, find a clump of dust that just-so-happened to be in the shape of a bunny, and hence forth reffered to clumps of dust as "dust-bunnies", and it was so catchy that everybody else called 'em that too??
