Why Were These Invented??

There are many cool inventions in this world. There are also a lot that I do not understand why they were made. Better yet. . . I do not understand people that buy them.

For example:

Clothes for animals

Snuggies. . . just go put on a coat!

Ear gauges. . . tacky!

The "bump it" . . . Why would I want a big puffy head?

The kitchen table in my apt. There is a crease running all around the table. When you wipe the table down all of the crumbs get stuck in it! UGH!

And the reason for this post:

I wont put a picture of this up . . . but cardboard tampons! What the heck!? They hurt to use and its just not fun! I know a man invited these.

Why Is It?

I was talking to my younger cousin the other day and the subject of blogs came up. She found out that I had one and wanted to know what I posted on my blog. I told her just my thoughts and the day to day things. I also introduced her to the idea of 'followers'.

She said "So random people that you do not know. . . they follow your life?"

When you put it that way it does seem very weird. Why are we humans so interested in other peoples lives? We do we find it so fascinating to read about peoples thoughts and day-to-day actions?

And why do we find it so cool to write about our days and thoughts?

I don't know why. . . . but it is fascinating.

Sorry. . . Happily Ever After Just Doesn't Work Like That

While I worked the other day I had Aladdin playing. Then a thought came to me. . . .

I agree with this, but I do not agree with what Disney teaches little girls with its shows.

Cinderella fell in love after one dance. . . . and they didn't even talk to each other

Ariel fell in love with Eric and wanted to be with him after watching him on his boat (creepy stalker)

Now Belle is the only one that I think teaches good things. She fell in love with the beast AFTER she spent time with him and got to know him. She didn't just fall in love with his good looks and charm.

Sleeping beauty and her man fell in love after singing and dancing together

Snow White fell in love with her prince after he spied on her. Then she ran away and . . . Bam she was in love.

Jasmine fell in love after spending a little conversation and a magic carpet ride together.

Moral of the story?

We should just sing and dance with somebody and then we will know if we love them or not.

Now don't get me wrong. . . I grew up on these shows and love them as much as the next girl.

I am just glad that in real life you have to get to know somebody. Not just look at them and decide you want to marry them. The problem is. . . . a lot of girls that I know . . . . can't separate the "Happily Ever After" with real life. Its sad and it really has left its impact.

I think you can see somebody and be interested in them or want to pursue them. You can't wait for the perfect prince charming to show up. There is no such thing as a perfect man. You have to put yourself out there.

What Am I Doing With My Life??

I was talking. . . well venting. . . to Jonathan a few nights ago.

I told him that my life could seriously go in about 568 different directions right now.

*Go on a mission now?

*Go on a mission in a few months?

*Don't go on a mission

*Change my major?

*Keep my major?

blah blah blah

The list goes on and on.

I am the kind of person that loves to have everything all mapped out. I want to know how everything is going to happen. Yet life doesn't work like that.

Until it finally sinks into my head. . . I will just have to remind myself of a few things

*God knows everything. . . . so pray!

*Not to stress out about stuff

*To enjoy the ride of life

(This will be a lot harder then it seems)

The Cycle

I was talking to my friend last night. Of course we got onto the subject of boys. . .

there are two ways that this conversation usually goes. ..

#1. Oh! Boys are so amazing and sweet!

or

#2. I hate boys! They are so stupid and they just do not get anything!!

Last night it was #2

We have decided that it is amazing that anyone gets together.

There is so much heartbreak, tears, and pain through this whole love cycle.

We just wish we could skip the whole dating thing and marry our sweetheart.

Boys = broken hearts and wet pillows

Yet after all the crying stops. . . . you just find another guy who sweeps you off your feet. You are thinking that yes #1 they are amazing and sweet. Everything is good and then BaM!! You are eating all the ice cream and junk food you can find. . . . and thinking #2 boys are so stupid!

Why do we set ourselves up for all this drama??

Why haven't all the girls in the world banded together and made all the men leave??

Because when you are in the #1 phase. . . .

Life couldn't be more fantastic
