Introduction
So I've decided I need a place to post random observations of my world to the general public aside from my normal posts, so i decided to do it here. If you're wondering about the title, lets just say its a reference to a book. And that I heartily agree with it. Also, please check back here regularly, because I'll update it every so often.
Observation #4: The Mysterious Line
You hear a lot of people nowadays mentioning something called a "line." They say things like, "you've crossed the line" and, "You'd better toe that line," and other equally threatening but mysterious things. And I can't help wonder, enough that I'm making an observation of it here,
1. What that line does
2. Where it is
3. What happens when you cross it?
I think number two is the most mysterious question here, because no one really knows where The Line is, after all. Everyone just refers to it as an unnamed location in space. I think if we could find this line it would be the beginning of our attempts to not cross it. (Or maybe to cross it- I don't know, it depends on your temperment.)
Number one is maybe a null point. A line is a line. It doesn't do much. (quite like the platypus.) it probably just lies on the ground, probably in red, and looks threatentingly up at people who want to cross it.
Now for the most confusing conundrum of all. What happens when you cross it? (play dramatic music in the background.) No one really knows... some say the threat of "don't cross the line" is an empty one, and nothing will happen. Others hold that you will fall off the edges of the earth if you step over the line separating earth from the cosmos... feel free to draw your own conclusions.
Observation #3: Even smart people are stupid.
The following list isn't technically my own, but I think it really drives a point home... no matter how stupid you think someone is, there is always one dork who'll go and do something like the to prove you wrong.
1. When people point at their wrist when asking for the time... I know where my watch is pal, where the heck is yours? Do I point at my butt when I ask where the toilet is?
2. People who are willing to get off their butt to search the entire room for the T.V. remote because they refuse to walk to the T.V. and change the channel manually.
3. When people say 'Oh you just want to have your cake and eat it too'. You're darn right! What good is cake if you can't eat it?
4. When people say 'it's always the last place you look'. Of course it is... Why the heck would you keep looking after you've found it? Do people do this? Who and where are they?
5. When people say while watching a film 'did you see that?'. No loser, I paid $12 to come to the cinema and stare at the stupid floor.
6. People who ask 'Can I ask you a question?'..... Didn't really give me a choice there, did ya sunshine?
7. When something is 'new and improved!'. Which is it? If it's new, then there has never been anything before it. If it's an improvement, then there must have been something before it, couldn't be new.
8. When you are waiting for the bus and someone asks 'Has the bus come yet?'. If the bus had come, would I be standing here?
Observation #2: Be nice to the universe, please.
Ok, so people have bumper stickers that say "Be nice to the Earth", right? I'm all for that and all the green stuff going around nowadays, but I think its time to take the "Earth" part to a higher level. Instead, lets be nice to the Universe!
Why, you ask?
well, with all these advances in NASA and the space industry these days, soon, people aren't going to be living exclusively on earth anymore. SOOO, in preparation for when we live on Mars and beyond, we should start being nice to the universe now, because pretty soon, it'll be our new earth.
and if that isn't sufficient reason, just look back up at the title of this page and remember: the universe is a froody place. So long as we keep it that way.
Observation #1: People are hypocrites.
Its common knowledge that every under-30 year old girl is looking for true love. Now there is two things wrong with that.
1. Well, this isn't really something that's wrong with it, but I don't believe there is one person in the world who will make you happiest, I think there are infinite people who can provide that. So the whole "true love" thing is all good and well for Cinderella, but not for me.
2. So if they're looking for true love, why are there so many brides who are only that for about five months, and then divorce in a scream-filled, lawsuit-infested deal that drags in lawyers, in-laws and dogs into the whole mishmash? All these women, in my opinion, are hypocrites. Just saying.
