the last time I did this I got in trouble with a sock puppet, but that's ok. we are all entitled to our opinions. I wonder a lot, and a lot about things I have no idea how to answer. so I am going to post my wonders again here. If you oppose them, please don't attack me. they are wonders, and wonders are how we learn new stuff.
I wonder sometimes what it feels like to be something other than me. I happen think we are all pretty much the same. I mean if we all closed our eyes and had no idea what each other looked like, wouldn't we all be the same? kind of? we would still have our own ideas and opinions and morals and things we live by. but how could we judge each other by what we looked like. so i wonder sometimes what it would feel like to be male, or asian and tiny with pretty long black hair. I don't know why I wonder these things, but i do.
I wonder sometimes what I would really do if I was very wealthy. we all say we would do these wonderful things for our family, or the underprivileged or some cause, but would I really? I think i would actually. but would that feed the need I have sometimes to help in a real way. I know I would pay off my debts that i have. I don't have many really. the house payment and Alex's college are the two biggies. they would be gone. I would hope i would be able to figure out how to be a good philanthropist before the money was gone and it was too late.
I wonder why some people are just hateful and mean to others for no apparent reasons. I have heard they act like this because they are so unhappy with themselves. this may be true. if it is, why don't they do something to make themselves happy. do something good for someone else, for no apparent reason. if you do this once in a while, there is no way you can be mean and hateful, is there? i work with a person like this. I try to avoid her at all costs, but she wont let me. its horrible. so we just know she is b..... and let it go.
i wonder why some people can be creative with dried pasta and make it look good and I cant draw a straight line. why are some people so easily talented. I know our brains are wired for different things. some people are wired to remember everything they see and hear. some are just very good at the whole learning process. each of us has our own talent, but i wonder what it is that gives us these talents. this one probably has a really easy answer, but i still wonder.
Now here is the fashion police wonder. this one may get me in trouble, but i cant help it. why do people(mostly young girls) wear their pants low around their waist and their stomachs are falling out the front. I have seen so many young people lately who are over weight, and its mostly in their stomachs, and wear their clothes too tight and too small. i am overweight and I know it, but I don't let my stomach hang out like a trophy. the clothes now are clingy and this looks soo bad. I just don't get it. I had to get that one off my mind.
well, i think that is the end of this session of wonders. If I think of any more and I can remember them, i will try and save them up and do this again. I have a list of my favorite things going in my documents file. I need to put that one up too one day. so that's it. see ya all later.
I wonder too about that fat rolling muffin top thing over the pants. Why do not just young people wear clothes that are jsut too tight? It isn't pleasant too look at.
ReplyDeleteI wonder if the sock puppet will come and get me too?
I hope not carol. I dont think so. but i can wonder about that too. lol
ReplyDeletelmao! ON the girls in tight shirts.. that hug big bellies.. You've got me there.. I have NO idea WHY they are so proud of such a gut. I would have been mortified to be the weight I see teens at today. What's truly sad.. this is probably the best body.. they'll have.. their entire short lives. (figuring they'll all die of heart disease or something by thirty something).
ReplyDeleteMean folks.. explain them... well.. in a nutshell.. Doc Holliday summed it up best in the movie, "Tombstone". They are simply pissed.. for being born. That's it.
I'm going to ponder on your "I wonder..."'s today while I'm at work and come back later to comment. Work is a good place to think.
ReplyDeleteWhen I look back - as a young teen I wore my pants so low that my butt crack showed....and so did everyone else. And they were tight - very very tight - I had to lie down on the bed to get them snapped (we used to wear snap front bellbottoms.)
ReplyDeleteAnd I have to confess the majority did have some version of muffin top going on back then....but if you'd asked us - we would have thought we looked damn fine with our bellies and love handles sticking out
I'm going to guess that the reason it's so much worse now is because of the discovery of stretch denim.......so now you can wear them much, much tighter cause of the give in the fabric.
We seem to swing from one extreme to another as far as young girls and weight....I remember how much I wanted to be skinny - Twiggy skinny....but it just wasn't to be. Then we became more aware of how much body image affected teens - with bulemia and anorexia as they strove to become impossibly tiny. So perhaps we went too far the other way - where we are afraid to say anything to our kids about them being too heaavy....and for that matter - so many of us as adults are overweight.....we don't set a very good example.
And as far as mean and hateful people.....I think it's that they were so terribly hurt by something or someone that they have lots of anger inside.....and they eventually forget there was ever a different way to live.
I like what you say about, what would we think if we all were blind. I think, given human nature our beliefs would still be what sets apart from others. I really like your blog. Its the way we used to blog!
ReplyDeleteWell, lets make a pact. If either you or I get weathly, we will share with each other so we both know what it would be like to be wealthy! LOL....
We are all so different and it is so wonderful and it is so wonderfully funny how we always notice other peoples abilities and not our own. You for example can sew! I cant sew a straight line. Even my home ec teacher gave up trying to teach me to sew!
LOL...people who are hateful for not apparent reason. I dont think people are hateful for no reason. I think you said it perfectly. 'For no apparrent reason' . It is those type of people that I like to take extra time ad effort with. Something must have upset them or hurt them so much to react in an unfavorable way. Trust is usually and issue for them. Easier to hurt others before they hurt you, type of thing Now I know I am generalising but unless a person is born a sociopath, you are born loving and trusting, so something would have to turn people into hateful acting beings. Many times a wall of protection can be misunderstand as being hateful.
OMG, fashion police! LOLOLOLOL! I was just mentioning that very thing to Chris the other day!
On your first wonder thats also one of mine!!
ReplyDeleteas for the fashion police, there called hipsters and they are fashion even more so, for some reason they have their knickers/thong on show too, just remember you've more class!!
