So I’m going through my Entrecard sites and I come across this blog: The FBI Is Watching You. The first post I read is Things to Ponder.

I’ve decided that with each of these things, I will “ponder” my response below each.

Number 10
Life is sexually transmitted.
Yes! Life is sexually transmitted so technically, pregnancy and babies can be considered diseases…

Number 9
Good health is merely the slowest possible rate at which one can die.
If you look at it in the miserable sense, yes. If you look at it in the happier sense, it means that you have more time to spend with your loved ones.

Number 8
Men have two emotions: Hungry and Horny. If you see him without an erection, make him a sandwich.
I had quite a bit of a laugh with this one. Why? Well, it’s obviously an oversimplification of men, but at the same time, it pokes at women by implying that they should be in the kitchen, making a sandwich for the man like a good, obedient housewife. I feel like I should take offense to this, but I won’t for this one.

Number 7
Give a person a fish and you feed them for a day, teach a person to use the internet and they won’t bother you for weeks.
One word: StumbleUpon

Number 6
Some people are like a Slinky .. Not really good for anything, but you still can’t help but smile when you shove them down the stairs.
Okay, I’ll admit that it will suck major balls if someone were to shove me down the stairs, but it’s like watching those funniest home videos, you know? You know it’s awful painful, but you can’t help but laugh at the same time.

Number 5
Health nuts are going to feel stupid someday, lying in hospitals dying of nothing.
That could be true, but then again, it ties back into number 9, doesn’t it?

Number 4
All of us could take a lesson from the weather. It pays no attention to criticism.
We could take that lesson, but sometimes, criticism is good only if it is completely constructive. There can be criticism that will cut like a knife and by then, you just don’t want to hear it anymore.

Number 3
Why does a slight tax increase cost you $200.00 and a substantial tax cut save you $30.00?
Because the economy likes to fuck with us tax paying citizens?

Number 2
In the 60’s, people took acid to make the world weird. Now the world is weird and people take Prozac to make it normal.
Well, not quite. The world isn’t necessarily “weird” to the Prozac people; it’s just a little hard to bear sometimes.

Number 1
We know exactly where one cow with Mad-cow-disease is located among millions and millions of cows in America, but we haven’t got a clue as to where millions of illegal immigrants and terrorists are located. Maybe we should put the Department of Agriculture in charge of Immigration.
Okay this is a little funny, but there are too many things that I want to argue with on this one and knowing me and knowing how tired I am at the moment… probably not right now.

If you want, go ahead and “ponder” away at these things and let me know what you think of them!

I have always, always tried to hear both sides of a story, or at least leave the possibility and the mind open for that other side. Sometimes, for those closest to me, I don’t do a very good job of that.

What prompted this particular post was when I was caught off guard by a friend of mine. I care about a particular person and because of that, I normally don’t question that person’s integrity, that person’s personality. I take what I can from that person’s stories, right? Unfortunately, the other side of of the story isn’t as pleasant as it was when I had heard the first time around.

What makes us do that? We do we make that person so ideal, so perfect that after a certain point, flaws are no longer accepted? No, I can’t figure out if I had chosen to block out the flaws or if I had chosen not to look for them, but either way, they were not recognized. The other side of the story never had a chance to explain itself when it so rightly deserved the chance.

Just to get to the point here, there is always more than one side to the story and to completely close yourself off to another side is a foolish idea, a foolish action. If one side of the story doesn’t make sense, well then, it deserves some more explanation, it deserves another side, another story. What it does not deserve is another lie.

I feel as if I have this incredible weight inside right now and I can’t quite put it into words. Actually, I don’t even know what it is really. I just know that there’s something… there. I want to let it out, or at least find a way to let it out, but I can’t find a way to let it out until I know what it is I want to let out.

Does any of that make sense?

I don’t know what I’m babbling about really. I’m just… not really sure about some things right now I suppose and it’s taking its toll on me. I know that I posed a lot of questions in the previous post, but now the questions aren’t so loud in my head. That doesn’t mean there aren’t other questions, but the whole worrying about the future thing isn’t as large and looming as it was a while ago.

What I want to do most is sleep. Perhaps I’m using sleep as an escape, but I want to sleep to make the time go by faster. Except there is this damned thing called responsibility.

In other news… more like site news (that should be properly placed in the aside, but I’m lazy tonight). If you want to find out what happened to Boscardin over the weekend, I explain it for a bit here in the first paragraph. I also want to give Boscardin a revamp, but right now, I’ve not the time, which makes me a little sad. It’s okay. I’ll live.

I always do, despite how depressed I can get, I always live. And this weekend, I got an email that really cheered me up. Not to mention getting to hang out with a really cool buddy on a really awesome couch.
