Random
February 5, 2009 – 4:55 pmIn lieu of my normal post this week I’ve decided to compile a list of some of my random thoughts/observations.
Hope you enjoy!
1. I have attended a few lectures/conferences over the past year (that people had to pay to go to!) and observed people emailing, surfing the net, or messaging on their Blackberry instead of listening to the speaker. Why even come?!
2. I have had more than one person ask me a question in one of the following formats:
a. You know where, “insert place” is, right?
b. You’ve been to, “insert event or place”, right?
c. You know where, “insert street name” is, right?
Why ask me a question if you’re already assuming I know the answer?!
3. Listening to someone you just met casually drop the accomplishments of their children into a conversation is the worst.
4. Feeling down or sad, or even depressed is based on everyone’s own perspective. There will always be someone who has it worse. Sometimes thinking about someone else’s problems simply isn’t enough to make you feel better. Everyone has a right to have a bad day or days, no matter what their situation.
5. I keep a “To-Do” list handy at all times. There is nothing worse than looking at a freshly made “To-Do” list and feeling like you have to finish everything on the list ASAP.
6. There is nothing better than seeing someone you know when you are out and about if you want to see them. On the flip side, there is nothing worse than seeing someone you know when you are out and about if you don’t want to see them.
7. There is nothing that tastes better on earth than ice cold water when you are really thirsty. Example: after an hour of high school basketball practice with nothing to drink.
8. For all of you Rhode Islanders out there- Del’s Frozen Lemonade never tastes as good as after playing 2 hours of basketball on a ninety-degree, cloudless, sun-beating-down day.
9. There is nothing more humorous than two politicians (think the 2008 Presidential debates) each using their own set of statistics to prove why the other candidate is terrible.
10. And finally, you never know when a ping-pong player, who is also an aspiring chess master, who also loves numbers, and who also loves to gamble (mostly when the odds favor him) decides to then also become a body-builder.
