2 dumb things i thought today

  1. Everything, at one time had once been new. Natural things and unnatural. The unnatural bother me more, probably because they’re mostly non-regenerative, and thus manufactured waste. I’m thinking of things rusting in junkyards and other discarded stuff getting smooshed into landfills. At one time the crap we bury in the ground in the hopes of it rotting or at least not being unsightly or stinky, were items that were conceived, assembled, made extra shiny with advertising, desired, worked for, saved for, purchased, used, became less shiny, cared for less, broke or gone empty, discarded, very likely to be replaced. New cars, new cartons of milk. It doesn’t matter. Love it, use it, bury it. (Perhaps people are no different, except we cremate a lot of them.)
  2. Many people are raised better than they behave. I find it fascinating when I see people pause for a moment before going through with doing something they know is wrong. In that moment you can catch a glimpse of their own remembrance of their upbringing.

yes, and many people behave better than they were raised.

I don’t believe my post disputed that. But thank you for pointing it out.

Tell Tail Sigh

A tell-tale sign that our culture is on the path to completely turning away from reading written words in exchange for only ever listening to word via the audio outputs of devices like radio, television, and the internet is how frequently I see things typed online that don’t initially make sense until they are examined phonetically, and then substituted for the intended phrase that sounds similar.

For example, I just read about someone who is “buying his time.” (The conversation was about waiting for a pizza delivery, not about paying a prostitute.)

This is sad, indie.

Does anyone else stop pooping when…

the door of the public restroom opens forcing you to sit there in silence, pretending you don’t exist despite the fact your feet are visible below the stall door, hoping the intruder understands that the scent that dominates the room was already there before you ever sat down, and waiting until you hear him finish pissing before half washing his hands and grabbing the door handle bare-handed, before you give yourself the green light to resume?

Or is it just me?

Is not knowing the other half of the battle?

Just wondering.

OY EOJ!

it is definitely a factor to consider when engaged in battle, as victory draws closer, then like uh knowing more kinda happens as a result
