Random Thoughts

I like everyone have so many random thoughts throughout the day. Sometimes it is like getting a song stuck in your head. You just have to sing it all the way through or it will just keep playing over and over again. Here are some of the thoughts that are currently floating around in my headspace.

1.       I am so excited about the show Pan Am. I love Christina Ricci and am really interested to see what she is like in a movie that doesn’t involve dead people or some other form of weird creepiness. I love her. She is like Helena Bonham Carter, but better. All the crazy talent without the fear that birds and rodents are nesting somewhere on her person.

2.       I know that God make children cute for a reason. There is no other way that you would let someone so bossy get away with vomiting, pooping and throwing crap all over your house if they did not inspire “oohs” and “ahhs”.

3.       There are some things that I never thought I would have to say until I had children. Things like, “Take your foot out of your mouth” or “No cookies until after you make the poo poo.”

4.       My niece thinks that my sister has always been crazy, but I remember when she was just my cool older sister that my guy friends thought was hot and hoped I would grow up to look like. Cut to 4 kids and one divorce later and it is a wonder that she manages to still tie her shoes.

5.       Why does the “What to Expect When You’re Expecting” book start at explaining conception. If I am expecting, I have clearly already passed that point.

6.       Why do we keep making people apologize for things they are not and shouldn’t really be sorry for? PETA wants an apology from a newspaper for showing an uncooked chicken in a sexy pose and have likened it to necrophilia. That is ridiculous. We want people to apologize for jokes that we don’t like and comparisons that irritate. Yes, Hank Williams, Jr. sounds like an idiot for his comment, but why should he apologize for making a bad analogy? Why should Tiger Woods apologize to me for being a bad husband? Why should Rihanna and Miley apologize for being bad role models? Madonna never said sorry for “acting” like a tramp and I would not respect her if she did.

7.       Don’t you long for the days when bullying stopped when the bell rang at 3 o’clock. I don’t think any of us should be surprised. Just think about it for a minute. Bullying used to stop at 3 because that was when they no longer had access to a victim or an audience. Now it is a 24/7 operation. They can find you online, call your cell and if you don’t answer then they send you a text. Bullies used to be scared to call your house because a good bully never wants your parents or theirs to know what they are up to, but now they have the comfort of doing it through anonymous posts and ghost calls. It is important to tell kids that “It Gets Better”, but we need to stop it before it gets worse.
