Thought-provoking statements

[soaring crane]

Just got this from my wife per email and, since I haven't already seen this exact list 546 times over the past 7 years, I thought maybe some of you hadn't, either.

 

I havta admit, I really saw a lot of myself in this... not that I'm proud of it or whatever

 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 

1. I think part of a best friend's job should be to immediately clear

your computer history if you die.

 

2. Nothing sucks more than that moment during an argument when you

realize you're wrong (how many TaoBum moments does that apply to?).

 

3. I totally take back all those times I didn't want to nap when I was

younger.

 

4. There is great need for a sarcasm font.

 

5. How the hell are you supposed to fold a fitted sheet?

 

6. Was learning cursive really necessary?

 

7. Map Quest really needs to start their directions on #5. I'm pretty

sure I know how to get out of my neighborhood.

 

8. Obituaries would be a lot more interesting if they told you how the

Person died.

 

9. I can't remember the last time I wasn't at least kind of tired.

 

10. Bad decisions make good stories.

 

11. You never know when it will strike, but there comes a moment at work

when you know that you just aren't going to do anything productive for

the rest of the day.

 

12. Can we all just agree to ignore whatever comes after Blue Ray? I

don't want to have to restart my collection...again.

 

13. I'm always slightly terrified when I exit out of Word and it asks me

if I want to save any changes to my ten-page research paper that I swear

I did not make any changes to.

 

14. "Do not machine wash or tumble dry" means I will never wash this - ever.

 

15. I hate when I just miss a call by the last ring (Hello? Hello? Damn

it!), but when I immediately call back, it rings nine times and goes to

voice mail. What did you do after I didn't answer? Drop the phone and

run away?

 

16. I hate leaving my house confident and looking good and then not

seeing anyone of importance the entire day. What a waste (kind of Jack Handy-ish).

 

17. I keep some people's phone numbers in my phone just so I know not to

answer when they call.

 

18. I think the freezer deserves a light as well.

 

19. I disagree with Kay Jewelers. I would bet on any given Friday or

Saturday night more kisses begin with Miller Lite than Kay.

 

21. Sometimes, I'll watch a movie that I watched when I was younger and

suddenly realize I had no idea what the heck was going on when I first

saw it (Seen the original Willy Wonka movie lately?).

 

22. I would rather try to carry 10 plastic grocery bags in each hand

than take 2 trips to bring my groceries in.

 

23. The only time I look forward to a red light is when I'm trying to

finish a text.

 

24. I have a hard time deciphering the fine line between boredom and hunger.

 

25. How many times is it appropriate to say "What?" before you just nod

and smile because you still didn't hear or understand a word they said?

 

26. I love the sense of camaraderie when an entire line of cars team up

to prevent a dick from cutting in at the front. Stay strong, brothers

and sisters!

 

27. Shirts get dirty. Underwear gets dirty. Pants? Pants never get

dirty, and you can wear them forever (I know why this is especially funny for Brits).

 

28. Is it just me or do high school kids get dumber & dumber every year?

 

29. There's no worse feeling than that millisecond you're sure you are

going to die after leaning your chair back a little too far.

 

30. As a driver I hate pedestrians, and as a pedestrian I hate drivers,

but no matter what the mode of transportation, I always hate cyclists.

 

31. Sometimes I'll look down at my watch 3 consecutive times and still

not know what time it is.

 

32. Even under ideal conditions people have trouble locating their car

keys in a pocket, finding their cell phone, and Pinning the Tail on the

Donkey - but I'd bet my ass everyone can find and push the snooze button

from 3 feet away, in about 1.7 seconds, eyes closed, first time, every time!

Thats why we do Tao and Tai Chi and Zen practice. To block out the known from clear state of mind. Do we really know what we know, or do you know that you know?
