Mixed nuts
So, I was in the middle of another one of my desert ponderings earlier and a few small epiphanies came to me.
1. Everybody is an expert on everything. Yep, it’s the only logical answer for why everyone is convinced that they are the utmost authority in whatever you happen to be doing at the moment and why everybody always seems to know the ‘right way’ to do everything.
2. Camel spiders are not as social or cuddly as they appear.
3. People never get what they ‘deserve’. The ones that have it don’t deserve it and the ones that deserve it don’t have it.
4. The greatest way to appreciate something is to give it up for a time.
5. I appreciate women, beer, hot showers, my own damn bed and styrofoam (I don’t want to talk about it).
6. Having a cool sounding screen name or sign off does not increase the weight you can lift or the shape you are in…usually
7. If people were as eager to make friends in the real world as they are online, society would be better off…and we’d all walk up to strangers just to make a random ‘comment’ and then walk away….I just think that part would be cool.
8. Part of what makes people so exciting is that we rarely think about what we say before it comes out of our mouths.
9. I’m glad I’m not an octopus.
10. If you are concerned about your health and appearance, you’re vain, if you don’t you’re a slob. The trick is for all of us to never let on that we all secretly desire to be a better and more balanced individual in every respect.
Just my take,
Dave

Tell me everything you know about camel spiders. Seriously.

Hmmm…I walk up to strangers and make random comments all the time! I’ll have to ponder this a bit…. (and I’m really curious about the styromfoam…)

I agree in so many ways. Nice list. Camels are disgusting in their own right, I can’t imagine camel spiders being cuddly ever.

When I first saw a picture of a camel spider I thought it was fake. I would not react well if I encountered one of those!

My reaction would be priceless: GIRLIEST scream ever and me bolting as far away as I could possibly get, then turning around and squinting to get a better look from as far away as I ended up, then crawling up the next wall as it moved again, then screaming for you to kill it NOW!

I’m glad I’m not an octopus too.

I don’t know, octopi get bigger to keep from getting eaten! #3) very true!

For #6, are you saying my glitterpants make my arse look fat?! j/k
For #7 - VERY interesting concept… that’s SO true that we’re so quick to give compliments here, even to people not on our friends list… I liked this one
#8 - agreed! But OH, how it could also lead us into so much trouble!

I like when you write your deep thoughts.
