Do you ever think?

Do you ever wonder...

... what people with the last name "Samsonite" put on their luggage?

... what it is about people that makes them skip the first few slices of bread while moving to the coveted middle section - leaving the heel and less-desirable slices for their family and loved ones?

... why they call Doritos "nacho cheese" flavor? I know of NO nachos that taste that way...

... about light? You can't actually see light, only it's source and the reflection/refraction of it as it bounces off surfaces...

... and speaking of light, if you could go faster than the speed of light and had a really powerful telescope would you see everything going backwards? Or would you see anything at all? Does light follow a Doppler-effect? Is there a sonic boom for light?

... when I get to make my own worlds, I totally am going to make one with dinosaurs - just to watch them fight. Also, I think that it will really mess with people's heads when they try to figure out where they came from and why they're here...

... some one's going to have to explain to me why mosquitoes were in the plan. Why do we need them anyway? I mean, I don't like spiders or maggots, but I can at least logically understand their purpose. Mosquitoes? No.

... why our fingers are fairly proportional in size, with the thumb shorter, while toes are all small with one exception? I'm just saying...

... if two wrongs don't make a right, do three rights equal a left?

... why do people get paid so much to sell common sense? Wait, never mind...

... where in the world IS Carmen San Diego?

... are we there yet? Have the wheels stopped and every one's getting out? No? Well, then...

You just blew away all my hopes that idiocy is not genetic.

You sound way too much like me

Mosquitoes spread disease. The end.

Did you copy this one too?

As for the world's thing..I've already decided on what I'm going to do with that.
Mermaid world!!!

My friend Daisy sitting next to me says she would have her own dance club world.

Forrest, of course would like a gun world, with varying types and magnitudes of artillery. [I think James Morton would like this as well].....

Maybe a chocolate world.

But thinking about it, Heavenly Father has pretty much got it down pat, I really wouldn't want a world without trials, no matter how hard...perfection [although I know my mindset will change after I die...], perfection is borrring!

Anisha - I only put MY stuff on my blog... Everything you get is all me, all the time.

And boring is right. Perfection? Who needs it?!? I'm having more fun being not perfect and trying to get there...
BTW, regarding your question about faster than light trave, one of my favorite poems is:

There was a young woman named Bright,
who traveled much faster than light
she set off one day
and in a relative way
returned on the preceeding night.

Apparently there are lots of smart people with WAY too much time on their hands

The Other Art

I'm not sure we appreciate photography as much as we do other art forms. Part of this comes from the reality that surrounds and permeates a photograph - it's very, very real, and the photographer strives for clarity and crispness in the representations. Perhaps this is why black and white images continue to be relevant - they strip away extraneous information (color) and leave us with something that is at once familiar and also non-existent - for nothing exists in black and white. Nothing. I also think that pictures are becoming too common-place... Everyone has a camera in their pocket, and while that's a very democratic thing (everyone can express themselves in a picture easily and readily, and can find an audience for these images, which are casually taken and casually viewed, and perhaps just as casually forgotten) I think that we embrace that casual attitude, and it spills over to all aspects of the media, making it impotent. So I read this article this morning: h...

Lucky!

So Tomorrow is Amie's birthday. The 12 th is Andy's. The 14 th is Alex's. And the 26 th is mom's. Happy birthday everyone. I recently found that a member of our ward has been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. Pancreatic cancer has a survivability rate of less than 5% and you never, ever kick it, even if you live. Once diagnosed, people are expected to live about six months. My wife and I were talking about this wonderful woman. There are very few (too few) people in this world who shine. Literally. This sister shines with a light that is perceptible and discernible . The world will literally be a darker place without her in it. Life is short, folks. Too short for hard feelings, too short for pain and misunderstanding. I love you all so much. Sorry this one is such a downer... I don't mean to be lugubrious on your birthdays... I consider myself lucky to be your brother. You have and continue to bless me and my family in many ways, for which I will be eternally gra...

Excommunication

My heart is heavy this morning. I read that Kate Kelly and others are being brought up on Church disciplinary action. For those who are unfamiliar with the process/proceedings of LDS Church discipline, it can be a bit mystifying. There are several levels of censure that the Church may impose. These range from a simple removal of some privileges for a short period of time to the most severe action - excommunication. When one is excommunicated, the person's membership in the Church is terminated. It is a very extreme measure, and for the faithful it can be a very difficult thing to consider. What people don't understand - what is nearly impossible for someone outside the proceedings to understand - is the amount of love felt. It's discipline. It's intended to be harsh (at times). And it's intended to be unpleasant. But it is done with love and care for the person. Since excommunication is such an extreme measure, it is really only very rarely applied. There are ...
