Random musings...
In case anyone outside of my own consciousness was wondering, I was tampering with my own website for a while and using that as my blogging headquarters. Tons of spam comments and hours of headache-inducing directory issues (thank you Wordpress) later, I'm back to the tried and true blogger.com format.
So, I present some random musings...
-I used to laugh at people that needed TUMS, I now am those people.
-Red wine has far exceeded white wine for the time being.
-Being a sports fan in Philadelphia over the past year has been trying.
-The Walking Dead = my new Lost.
-To stay in the city or become a suburbanite, thus is the question on my mind most right now.
-Stars, the incomprehensible amount of stars in the Universe. More stars in the Universe than grains of sand on Earth.
-Did you know that the Universe and the observable universe are often differentiated by a upper or lower-case U at the beginning? The observable universe being lower-case and overall Universe being upper-case.
-Do you ever find yourself on Wikipedia or in a book looking for the most random pieces of information (like my recent interest: President Truman's courting of Bess Wallace, really fascinating love story btw) and then trying to figure out the logical tangents you took to get there? Never does time go by faster than when you're learning something new and interesting.
-Just realized this post is an example of those logical tangents.
-The worries of adulthood. Sometimes I feel like pulling up, taking the savings and buying a small house in the middle of a small town. Finding a nice small job that can buy the food and pay for the heat, but foregoing all else. Would such a life be liberating at first but nosedive into a feeling of boredom with no purpose?
-Green is such a calming color. At this moment I cannot recall one negative connotation associated with it. Nor do I want to.
-Grammar, very important and at the same time can be incredibly trivial (I'm fairly certain this sentence is grammatically incorrect. I should look up how to fix it, but I won't, I'll leave it be).
-Disassembling and reassembling pens. The 20th century time waster.
-I am sincerely interested in how people actually met up with one another before cell phones. How many times have you picked a time and place to meet someone, only to get there and be unable to find them? Now you can simply pull out your phone and call/text them. There's even phone apps that let you temporarily share your location with a friend so they can find you on their phone. What did we do before? Did we just wander around until we found our acquaintance? Were people just more meticulous when making picking a time and exact location? Perhaps the success rate of meet-ups was far lower before cell phones. I'm not young enough where I didn't encounter such scenarios, but I'll be damned if I can remember what I did.
-Meeting with someone for lunch. I will make every attempt to be forgo technology in the next hour and find my friend sans cell phone.
And with that, until next time, cheers.
