Sooo, I've gotten a lot of my "to-do" list completed. I'm still working on my office. Last night I got a camera light working that I have had for a few years that I thought was completely broken. I felt quite accomplished with that. It wasn't even on the list of things to do. I've also rediscovered my old 35mm SLR camera and took pictures tonight. Now I'm anxious to take them to get developed tomorrow and see how they turn out. I hope there are still places that develop film without it costing an arm and a leg.
Anyway, I thought I'd churn out a few ideas for the Stupid World blog here.
Today I was running a bit late to meet Cristin and Anna for lunch. I had to go to Wal-Mart and decided that it would make me late, but not too late. I did call Cristin and ran the decision to go to Wally World before lunch and she was cool with it. Still, I didn't want to be that late, so of course, there are tons of people out on the road, a little bit of road construction and the general stupidity of large people trying to drive at one time. I made it through Wal-Mart relatively unscathed and then had to try to manuever out of the parking lot.
Have you ever noticed that when you are in a hurry, everything seems to be going slower. People move slower, the line is longer, it's like you're always moving against the traffic. While it doesn't really make sense for us to hurry when we can't control how fast we move, to stress out when we can't control traffic or the weather or any other circumstances, we still do. We act like getting angry and flustered will make things move along in our favor. Anyway, as I was trying to get out of the parking lot, I decided to take a path that was longer in distance, but looked like it would be shorter with the traffic. Well, as usual when it comes to lines and such, I misjudged what would be shorter. So, I waited. When I finally got my turn to turn onto the road that would lead me out of that place, I had to wait more for none other than an older man driving a scooter...not a moped like scooter, but something more like a Hoveround. He had a cardboard box bungeed around the front of his scooter and proceeded to make a left turn into the Wal-Mart parking lot. I'm pretty sure that you're not allowed to drive scooters onto the road like that. While I was annoyed, I could help but laugh at the absurdity of the situation.
The next thing that I've been thinking about is how stupid people are when they rush into marriage. I know several people doing that lately. People feel the bliss of being in love for a few months and can't imagine their lives being without it. So, they think that getting married is going to preserve all of that. Sometimes one parter in the relationship feels the need to commit more than the other. Usually it is the man, or at least it appears to be the man since traditionally the man is the one to propose. When both people in the relationship aren't on the same page, it can create a majorly awkward moment.
My friend Lauren showed me some hilarious videos on YouTube starring the "Keyboard Cat." After an awkward moment occurs, the Keyboard Cat plays them off. Here is one to illustrate what I'm talking about.
I wish there was a Keyboard Cat to play us off in all moments of stupidity, awkwardness and bad times. It would make everything so much better. Here are a few more funny ones.
