I'll never understand...

[Not Afraid]

I don't understand why a person would bring their personal problems with another person to a public venue and share for all to see - especially to a place like LoT where NO DRAMA is really prefered.

It's not cool. Deal with it yourself. Bad mojo, man.

I don't understand why my Son feels the need to wear his Thomas costume while he watches POTC and refer to himself as a train pirate.

However, I do find it very cute.

I DO understand why kids only hear swear words and remember only fun things. Brushing your teeth is boring.

I hope my comments weren't misconstrued as judging those that like Ben Stiller or anything else I mentioned. I just don't understand the appeal. And I mean that sincerely.

There are a lot of forms of enteraintment I don't understand. Like bullfighting. And soap operas. Including Desperate Housewives and other TV dramas. No appeal for me whatsoever.

I dont' understand the fear of technology that so many have. I'm not saying that I can't see the detriments of tech advancements. I'm just saying that it's a part of our societal evolution, and fearing it is like fearing growing older.

I dont' understand people that fear growing older either.

I don't understand why most of the time my apostrophe ends up outside of "don't". I've been typing for most of my life. I'm sick of going back and fixing it so I leave it "dont'" now. Unless I miraculously type it correctly the first time.

This I understand. Not that I fear being old. It's the growing old part. It's the watching my nose turn into a replica of my father's nose. Will MY nose become that veiny? Will it? I already notice small veins. Will they become raised old man nose veins?

Will my memory become even more squishy than it already is?

I already have the beginnings of arthritis, I fear.

Will I develop that shrinking slouch so many tall older people get?

I already feel like I'm aging before my time. Took a left at puberty and straight into menopause...

So, yeah, I kinda understand that fear. Because though a lot of people improve with age, I have a feeling I'll be just the opposite. It won't happen with grace so much as with a ravaging, unstoppable force.

Bah.

Seriously. You must understand. My post was a joke. Hell, I could make a career out of being judgemental. I have yet to get paid for it though.

Oooh, growing older. I don't have a fear of physically growing older. Or even out of vanity. It's the mental/societal thing that gets me. I don't want the pity or the health issues. But the fear or loathing....I guess I understand it. I'm not one who will be botoxing.....I love my new lines and angles!

Ben Stiller......was funny back in the early 90's and somehow stopped being all that funny a long time ago. I haven't seen a movie that he was in since Tenenbaums. I think the funniest things he's done....were from behind the camera. It makes me sad....I wish I could botox out his awfulness!!

I don't get candy. I haven't even clicked on the candy thread yet. I'm not a big candy eater.

The other day while making waffles with the younger two in the kitchen, Kelly burned himself on the Mickey waffler and said, "Sh!t!" Chloe didn't even look up as she asked, "Sh!t what?"

I'm not a real big Ben Stiller fan either. I rented both Something About Mary and Meet the Parents and couldn't finish watching either one. Usually, Stiller's type of comedy just doesn't do anything for me.

But I loved Zoolander! Go figure.

Loved 'Zoolander'.


One thing I'll never understand is the appeal of the Three Stooges and Bing Crosby/Bob Hope movies. I mean, they're mildly funny, but I can never seem to get into them...

I've never seen any of his comedies (except that ferret one) but I LOVE LOVE LOVE the depressing, psycho Your Friends & Neighbors .

Why is it I like the serious, psycho films? I mean, Interiors is my favorite Woody Allen film. I'll never understand.

I'll never understand the meaning of life, the existence of God, or the true nature of reality.

Accepting that has made me a much happier soul.
