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

Is this thing still on?

 Does anyone even blog anymore? I remember when it first got started and everyone was having a blog. I like writing, and I do a lot of it in my professional life, but not everything makes it onto this blog, which is where a lot of my personal thoughts come out. I put more into Facebook lately, too, because it's a little easier. But there's something to be said for this long-form writing exercise, and I think I will continue here periodically. You don't mind, do you? Well, in my last post I wrote about how difficult things were for me at the time. That changed in July when I finally got a job working for the State of Utah. I was the program manager for the moderate income housing database program, and that meant I worked from home a lot but also went in to Salt Lake when needed, mostly on the train. It was a good experience, for the most part, and I'm grateful for the things I learned even in the short time I was there.  In October I started working for Weber County in t...

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...

A Romantic Encounter

Him (tears in his eyes, heartbroken): I want you to know that I love you, that I'm sorry for my weakness and frailties, and that I will try and do better. I think I am doing better than I was before, and I just want to please you and make you happy. I am very grateful for your continued patience as I try to be the kind of man I want to be. Her: You need a haircut. It's getting a little long.
