A friend of mine, Morgan, just started a Blog...which inspired me to start a Blog. The link for her blog is...http://morganrenesblog.blogspot.com/
When I have previously thought about blogging, my first reaction is that why would anybody care about what I have to say? My second reaction, is if I actually would have something to say?
Well it is my guess that many of my friends will check my blog every now and then...or maybe only for the first blog or two, then after that nobody will be reading my blog...except maybe Kristi because she'll be bored. So I decided that I will treat this more as a journal than anything else. Not a journal as in that I will chronicle my every day events, but just random thoughts or opinions. So this is my first blog.

You know what saying I just don't understand and I wish would just go away?
"Wish in one hand, shit in the other. See which one fills up first."
First off, aren't we supposed to wish for things? What if every time somebody said "I wish..." that a person standing next to them would say "Well wish in one hand, shit in the other. See which one fill sup first." It seems to me that whoever "invented" this saying probably works in a cubicle with no access to windows.
Secondly, "wish in one hand." How is that even possible? The act of wishing doesn't manifest anything tangible which you can put in your hand. So that implies that you are actually wasting your time wishing. Sounds pretty negative.
Thirdly, "shit in the other." Do I even have to comment on this part of the saying? Why is it "shit?" Why isn't it water or sugar or flower? That has to make you think about the mindset of that guy working in the cublice with no access to windows.
Lastly, I wonder if anybody has ever tried to see which one actually fills up first? And if somebody has...then at what point is your hand "full" of shit?
In the end, I think that Barack Obama should pass a law voiding this saying. Thanks!!

I only read because I was genuinely interested in reading your blog...the one you were writing in barnes in noble...the one that I was waiting to eat for.... I like it. So it's ok. :O
ReplyDeleteI like. I also like that you name dropped me. I'll have to link to your blog :) we'll promote each other!
ReplyDeleteI couldn't agree with you more, Nate. I wish big. Therefore, one wish takes up my whole hand (they are real little). I'm not going to tell you what my poo is like though....let's just say I wish bigger than I poo!
ps don't blog/journal about your undying love for me, it might get weird for Kristi!
Sweet blog. Mad props. I dig.
Be prepared for long and confusing comments from me...more than likely in mass quantities.
That's all.
Nate you are wrong about your view of "wish in one hand and shit in the other." this person was of sound thinking. Everyone poos every day. therefore shit would likely fill one hand than your wish coming true in the other. of course the wish can't fill your hand but the thing you wish for most likely can.
