For me, I get that feeling A LOT. More than others I think. I always think about how my life would be different if I could have this or be able to do that. But every time I achieve something I wanted, it never seems as sweet. Is it because it finally became attainable? <br /><br />I guess it's the whole notion of "the grass is always greener on the other side." You think we want this thing/person/goal, but when you cross over to the other side, it doesn't look as promising as before. It's a crap reality, and I don't like it.<br /><br />Do you ever think about that?Amandahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02891758881002034763noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4296391603098480693.post-81409192344767318822011-03-14T19:36:00.001-04:002011-03-14T19:37:28.679-04:00Thought #16What does "bright-eyed and bushy tailed" even mean?<br /><br />And who actually uses that phrase?

Yes, google is a verb. It's amazing and you can find so many things that you never knew were out there. For instance, I was able to find pictures of my office on Google Images with just a couple careful search keywords. I was also able to cyber-stalk my friend's professors. I can tell her where they went to school, what their professional interests are, and whether or not they're popular with students. Yes, I'm that good. It's also a bit creepy how much info is available to people like me. What can I find on you?<br /><br />Do you ever think about that?Amandahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02891758881002034763noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4296391603098480693.post-36356515822418414142011-03-09T23:55:00.004-05:002011-03-09T23:57:28.157-05:00Thought #14How did I ever live without Netflix?<br /><br />Seriously?? I'm watching Parks and Recreation from the beginning and it is the highlight of my day. I've also watched a bunch of movies that I loved as a kid and new movies that I've never heard of. I did all of this by clicking a button. I love it.<br /><br />/end of Netflix advertisement<br /><br />Do you ever think about that?Amandahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02891758881002034763noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4296391603098480693.post-85801642169652629942011-03-08T23:37:00.002-05:002011-03-08T23:41:32.635-05:00Thought #13Why can't elevators go sideways?<br /><br />Willy Wonka had it right. There should be an elevator that goes sideways, slantways, longways, backways, squareways, frontways, and any other ways you can think of. In other words, I want a teleportation device. Now please.

But then again, there are different types of Alligators and different types of Crocs, so maybe they're cousins. In any case, I like to imagine a a big family reunion in the Florida Everglades. They are grilling some fish, dancing to Elton John's "Crocodile Rock", and scaring some humans by making an appearance on Alligator Alley. Good times.<br /><br />Do you ever think about that?Amandahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02891758881002034763noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4296391603098480693.post-73935692666641936992011-03-06T14:44:00.002-05:002011-03-06T14:51:24.157-05:00Thought #11Why are we so obsessed with the celebrity culture?<br /><br />I am an avid celebrity gossip reader and I keep track of all the latest entertainment news, but I honestly can't tell you why. It interests me...but why? I have no idea. Perhaps I envision that they lead the perfect lives, even though I know that's not true. Most celebrities are probably selfish snobs who rather collect millions of dollars and drink champagne in their 15-bedroom mansion than live a normal life (COUGH charliesheen COUGH). I'm still infatuated though. I read People.com and the magazine cover to cover every week. I have PerezHilton on my bookmarks. I anxiously await my copy of Entertainment Weekly every Friday. I'm a celebrity/entertainment fiend, for no perfectly good reason.<br /><br />Do you ever think about that?Amandahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02891758881002034763noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4296391603098480693.post-79139601179848803152011-03-03T22:38:00.002-05:002011-03-03T22:45:38.174-05:00Thought #10How awesome is it to be the Queen?<br /><br />I mean, for one, everyone calls you "Your Majesty." I looked it up on Wikipedia. It means "Your Greatness." WAY cool! You get to ride in a horse-drawn carriage and not feel like an idiot. People will bow at your feet if you request it. If it were still the olden days, you could send people you didn't like to the Tower of London just by snapping your fingers. You can pretty much have any guy you want, because let's face it, what dude doesn't want to be a King? And most importantly, you have access to the royal jewels and crowns. Yes please!<br /><br />Do you ever think about that?Amandahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02891758881002034763noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4296391603098480693.post-43064238728095323142011-03-02T20:23:00.004-05:002011-03-02T20:29:59.777-05:00Thought #9Why does every major American holiday have some sort of candy involved?<br /><br />Christmas has candy canes, Valentine's Day has all those little hearts, Easter has lots of marshmallow peeps, and don't get me started on Halloween. It seems like for pretty much every holiday you're supposed to buy candy for everyone. The candy companies must be swimming in cash every year.<br /><br />Follow up question: where is the themed candy for Thanksgiving, New Years, and the Fourth of July? Better yet, where is my candy for Flag Day?<br /><br />Do you ever think about that?Amandahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02891758881002034763noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4296391603098480693.post-73410219305954688812011-03-01T23:14:00.003-05:002011-03-01T23:23:04.806-05:00Thought #8This is one I stole from a friend...<br />Why do all the commercials for vacuum cleaners show a woman doing the vacuuming?<br /><br />I work in advertising so I know how it goes. The vacuum brands know that their target demographic is women so they cast a female to be the star of their commercial. The women watching will identify with the woman on the commercial and they gain a sale. Blah blah blah.<br /><br />I say this: If the vacuum brands cast a male in the commercial (doing something other than sitting on the couch reading a newspaper or making a mess in the living room), would it spark more men to go out and buy vacuums? I sure hope so, seeing as how 96% of the male population live in filth.<br /><br />Do you ever think about that?Amandahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02891758881002034763noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4296391603098480693.post-15612566787381415062011-02-28T20:56:00.002-05:002011-02-28T22:24:44.314-05:00Thought #7Why are humans so social yet very antisocial?<br /><br />The average person goes through life with family and/or close friends that are always there when that person needs to talk, go out for dinner, go on trips, watch movies, etc. We crave attention...just like Lindsay Lohan. Yet, we never stop to think about how antisocial we are as well. We must pass hundreds of people on the drive to work and not even stop to think about who that person is or where they're going. We go to the store and completely ignore the stranger standing next to you in line, unless they're hot. If a random person comes to talk to you, you'll probably think they're weird right? For people who are so needy for human interaction, we're also really selfish and bitchy too.<br /><br />Do you ever think about that?Amandahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02891758881002034763noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4296391603098480693.post-468526815929043842011-02-26T19:04:00.002-05:002011-02-26T21:25:06.425-05:00Thought #6How many kinds of apples are there?<br /><br />Every time I go to the store, they have AT LEAST 6 different kinds of apples. They're lined up together in various shades of red and green, looking so appetizing. But honestly, I don't have the slightest idea on what makes a Granny Smith different from a Golden Delicious. Why do they have to make it so confusing? I mean, there's only one kind of banana. Just saying...<br /><br />Do you ever think about that?Amandahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02891758881002034763noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4296391603098480693.post-48600404100795814852011-02-25T18:45:00.002-05:002011-02-25T19:28:25.605-05:00Thought #5Who would want to kill two birds with one stone?<br /><br />Sure, their cold, black eyes freak me out and I'm constantly afraid that a pigeon will poop on me as I walk to work. Their pointy, sharp beaks can no doubt take out my eye, and I'm still too scared to watch Alfred Hitchcock's The Birds. I may be terrified of the tiny monsters, but I don't want to kill one (or two)! Plus, a stone would be too messy.<br /><br />Do you ever think about that?Amandahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02891758881002034763noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4296391603098480693.post-35002364273422556422011-02-24T19:31:00.002-05:002011-02-24T19:37:59.115-05:00Thought #4How many germs are on a dollar bill?<br /><br />Think about that really worn, crinkled, barely recognizable dollar bill in your wallet. It's been in thousands of places, just look on WheresGeorge.com. It's touched many hands, been in lots of purses/pockets/wallets/registers, and it's probably been in some stripper's G-String. Do we really want to be touching that? Hell yes! A dollar can buy me a bag of M&Ms at the office vending machine, and you know I need that sugar fix at 3pm.<br /><br />Do you ever think about that?Amandahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02891758881002034763noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4296391603098480693.post-43145021336238187322011-02-23T22:23:00.003-05:002011-02-23T22:37:12.779-05:00Thought #3What would people do if a man got an erection in public back in the 19th century?<br /><br />Way back in the days of Jane Austen, you couldn't even be alone with a member of the opposite sex, let alone do anything openly sexual in public. What would happen if a dude just pitched a tent in his thin trousers while sipping tea in the parlor? Would the clueless women even know what was happening? Would the "gentleman" be so embarrassed that he'd have to flee the house and never return?<br /><br />Personally, I like to think that a man like Mr. Darcy would never be aroused by anything other than myself so he would never have that problem. <br /><br />Do you ever think about that?Amandahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02891758881002034763noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4296391603098480693.post-64101120988487122102011-02-22T21:42:00.002-05:002011-02-22T22:32:02.255-05:00Thought #2Who came up with the idea for makeup?<br /><br />I like to imagine some cavewoman sitting by a fire with her caveman-husband. He is too busy poking the fire with his stick to pay attention to his woman, so she comes up with the idea to put mud on her eyes and rub animal blood on her lips. He is instantly more attracted to her and they spend the night making cavebabies by the fire.<br /><br />Do you ever think about that?Amandahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02891758881002034763noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4296391603098480693.post-13302432590906711272011-02-21T23:35:00.000-05:002011-02-21T23:58:09.032-05:00Thought #1Why do we sign letters with closing phrases such as Sincerely, Best Regards, Love, etc?<br /><br />I understand that it's all about formality and etiquette. However, in daily conversations, we don't verbalize any kind of closing phrase. We say Goodbye or Thanks sometimes, but who ends a phone call with "Warm regards, Amanda" as they press the end button? The answer would be no one...or so I hope.<br /><br />Do you ever think about that?Amandahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02891758881002034763noreply@blogger.com0
