Questions of the Day…

Random thoughts and questions of the day. Cause it’s what I do first thing in the morning. You can consider most of these questions to be rather… well… just something to think about… or not. Only some are serious! It’s up to you to decide. Or perhaps it’s a falderal!  ( Oh good, another word that spell checker found that’s NOT in Webster's. )  The English Language is flawed. Grammar and Punctuation only further and elevate the agony. We are taught that communication must be in the proper form… and who made this a rule for the rest of us? No doubt the same person that thought “X” & “Z” were needed, and could not be lived without! Some where we got so hung up on the rules of communication that our kids lost the ability to really communicate…. for fear of all the rules. For myself, I care not for most of the rules of Grammar etc… ( Grammar with a capital “G”). I like the pretty red squiggly lines everywhere! But onto more serious topics…  

  • Why don’t you have a blog too… it’s easy and lets family & friends know what you are doing, thinking, and what brings joy to your life. Maybe even entertaining and amusing to others. Seriously… why aren’t you blogging, you probably Facebook or tweet… so take the next step. Share!
  • All we alone?… as in the universe! Now there’s a good question. Several blog entries ponder this very question.
  • Why don’t we vote everyone is Congress OUT! New blood, new start, and they certainly couldn’t do any worse! But even this is wishful thinking.
  • Why did the biggest fish get away? and why is my picture if it “suspect”? … right.. Photoshop!
  • Did you know that we got rid of the ½ penny when it’s buying power was 10 times that of the current penny? and that today’s penny cost the American tax payers (via our common sense government) 11¢ each to produce from the very beginning of the process to your hands. Millions and millions in circulation and production that cost 11¢ each… but are virtually totally worthless! Duhhh!
  • Why do Tv commercials always show stupid people doing incredibly dumb things and expect us to identify with them… and buy their product? And why do they think that by having the commercials sounding annoyingly louder than the show we are watching, that we will pay more attention and thus being annoyed to the maximum… we will think about buying their stuff…. I think not!
  • Why if so many weight lost systems work, do they need to keep advertizing them… year after year… we should all be thin by now.
  • Why does Mickey have only four fingers…. High Four! Probably a good thing!
  • Does anyone really know how many licks it really takes to get to the center of a Tootsie Roll Pop?
  • Why do commercials show us what their cars and do, when they say “do not attempt to do this” (unsafe)… and it’s illegal anyway? Want to sell me a car, show me a boringly car lasting forever and 100,000 miles with no repairs! … and runs on the element “N2Hic3C3Po” (from the moon) for $5 per year!
  • Were the Mayans Right? and… are we interpreting what they knew correctly?
  • Why do they say that just one space shuttle load of this certain compound from the moon could power the entire U.S. for a year… and we are not interested in going there to get it?
  • Why does a food place advertise this greatest product, that is so wonderful that we can’t resist it, but it’s only available for a limited time? So why do I want to find something else I like only to not be able to get it again?
  • Why can I remember phone numbers from 1955 but forget the names of new neighbors I met yesterday?
  • Who built the pyramids? and Why? … I’m sure it wasn’t who we are taught! and… are they coming back?
  • Why did we call a $20,000 house payment a mortgage ( many years ago), but a $35,000 car is still a loan? Should it be a Car Mortgage? … sure feels like it!
  • We have lots of batteries… the “A” series, “C’s” & “D’s”… what happen to “B’s”?
  • How do we know 'Dyslexia' is spelled correctly? doesn’t look right to me.
  • How can a PC be so smart and still offer alternative spellings for the word you spelled wrong… and they don’t even start with the same letters? … so who’s stupid here?
  • Why do we have needless letters in the alphabet? Just pick one… “C” or “K” … and why do we need X or Z if it’s suppose to sound like “S”? and BTW… we need to shoot the person who thought of… “The Silent Letter”.
  • Why do they always start off the evening news with "Good Evening" when all they talk about is bad news?
  • When a tornado takes your house, taking everything you own and your car with it, and it’s oblivious that this is the worst possible day of you life… Why do reporters ask… “how does that make you feel?” … and why isn’t there a law that lets you just smack them? … repeatedly!

       And one final thought…..

  • Do you ever wonder if there is any connection between your reality and that of others? And if there is, are any similarities purely coincidental or destiny ? What is reality anyway… merely a perception… right?  Or maybe it has to do with the moon and stars.
  • Maybe annoying stupid commercials are just a state of mind… or perhaps they really do identify with so many others… that would explain a great many things. Another Mystery Revealed! There are so many stupid commercials depicting stupid people doing stupid things because they know that there are lots of people that can identify with this level of mentality. Yep!  So now we know what the advertisers really think about most people. So we should all buy their products.
