The View from the Observation Deck

-
My mind never stops running, and I tend to over think almost everything.  I was thinking about people, daily habits and ironies that keep life interesting.  So, while getting my hair done today, my hairdresser and I came up with a few more thoughts (thanks Stephanie!).  These do not apply to people I necessarily know, but some can easily be applied to my life.
Have you Ever Noticed?:

…celebrities and the wealthy are given cool free stuff...

…the guy at the gas station barely speaks English and is clearly not from America, but can give precise directions...

…the more money some friends have, the more they bitch about it.  And can even be cheap sometimes…

...when a couple decides to "take a break," neither party knows what it means…

…using words like "always" and "never,"  met with a "really? Always?" and they know what you mean (especially frustrating when disagreeing with a partner)...

…children don't squeeze during a handshake because they don't know what it means...

…people who pride themselves on being a Christians judge others, such as gay people…

…telling your hair stylist, manicurist or whoever all your deepest darkest secrets, then seeing them in public without knowing what to say…

…there's always an XS available, but never an XL.  It's discrimination!…

…America is predominantly overweight, but the models are all a size 4...

…when two straight guys go to a movie and leaving an empty seat between them…


People are funny.  Life is funny.  And there are so many great questions about it.
P.S. Thoughts and insights are encouraged!

The Children Better be Our Future!

I find most ironies in life pretty amusing.  In fact, they add a little spice to an otherwise bland existence.  For instance, "if I don't get insurance on my new iPhone then something bad will happen.  But if I don't get insurance, it's a waste of money because nothing will happen."  You can deduct the result of my cheap reasoning: nine months and over $800 later I had the newest iPhone 5. So, at the first of every month I get excited for my paycheck, and excited if I can pay my rent with a little left to pay my credit or cable bill.  Since I am on commission, I never exactly know what amount will be sent my way.  Due to the very large and unexpected expense in December I was thrilled to be able to cover my rent at the first of January.  It looked like there was going to be some "play" money left, so I thought I would treat myself to a little treat: Lauren Bush's Ubiquitous "FEED" bag profits go to hungry children in 3rd world countri

Queer as Folk

Yes, it's been forever and a day since I actually even visited this blog.  But thanks to a recent email, inspiration hit. The way things work out in life are funny.  Sometimes hilarious, other times odd and extremely painful.  What really amazes me is the way relationships can change in an instant.  We can go from best buds to mortal enemies within the blink of an eye.  Once quid pro quo becomes insufficient one of us is out the door. I see girls go from loving me to hating me in my job.  I work with brides, and while we can form an instant connection when she buys a dress it can turn downright ugly if something goes wrong.  Adoring "thank yous" become spiteful words and hysterical dramatics.  It's understandable, considering that I'm in the business of "it better be perfect."  But it's always a shame to see what was a happy and thrilling moment go to shit.  Not that it happens all the time!  Otherwise our store would no longer be in business.

Phelps, Lochte and Wieber, oh my!

It's that time again.  The one that only comes every four years and we cannot help but become mesmerized and addicted.  The 2012 Olympics in London.  Honestly, I tuned in for the Opening Ceremonies because I missed the "incredible" Beijing show.  You would think I had learned from the 2012 Winter Olympics it's not a good idea.  I fell asleep as one of the "B" countries was parading in. I've kept my eyes on the games because I wanted to see Michael Phelps break the medal record, for the gymnastics (even though the men's makes me a little uncomfortable) and even some beach volleyball.  The trouble is that I get so wound up and excited that I cannot fall asleep!  Last night's women's gymnastics and men's relay was heart-pounding and nail-biting.  I found myself crying when the USA won a gold in gymnastics.  Then I thought: "why am I crying?  I didn't do anything.  They worked really hard and earned the medal."  Seriously, I a
