thought for the day

"A penny for your thoughts? How about 20,000 of them?"

Mike and Carol Brady, "The Brady Bunch Movie"

I suggested to my friend that we have a question for every day to provoke thoughts among the people in our lives. I'm here to share some of those with you. These are mostly my thoughts, and I might be asking for advice from some readers as well.

• What would you do if your butt fell off?
• Why must those five, extremely ignorant people come to a fast food restaurant one minute BEFORE closing, decide what they want to eat for ten minutes, and then order their food, only for it to take another ten minutes to prepare due to the shortness of staff, therefore preventing the staff from closing on time?
• How come when a girl meets a close to perfect man (seeing as there is no such thing as a perfect man), he turns out to be homosexual?
• How many times can one heart be broken before it fails?
• Why is Eminem so controversial? "See everything you say is real, and I respect you because you tell it..." - Stan. So he raps about issues he's experienced and what others go through in this "fucked-up" world. Would you rather him "false and sugar-coat" it all? I certainly wouldn't. I TOTALLY respect him for what he writes, and damn, what that boy goes through, he doesn't stop. I happen to think he's a very talented, almost prodigial person. A lot of white rappers get bad reps (remember Vanilla Ice?). Yeah, maybe he writes and speaks bad about gays and his girlfriend, Kim. But I think I'd be mad too if my husband wouldn't let me keep my kid if that's all I wanted out of a divorce. And gay people are just too sensitive (I don't hate gays). But he's still around, and I hope he stays around for a long time and will still "tell it like it is."
• Speaking of Eminem, his song, "The Way I Am,"...you gotta know that that song tells exactly what he's went through. He's probably got the biggest balls in the world to actually write about it and let everyone know about his anger. You go, Eminem. I love you for that.
• You know what I've noticed? I think that Zac Hanson looks a lot like Kid Rock. I have this picture in a magazine somewhere where Kid Rock looks just like Zac Hanson! He was wearing a red shirt, and had his long blonde hair back in a pony tail like Zac always does. Look at the similarities...
• If your toes were all webbed together, would you try and swim like a duck? What would you do?
• You know what I've never read? A story about Hanson as TOTAL NERDS. I was just listening to the song, "All I Really Want," by Alanis Morrisette, and there's a part in there that says, "And all I need now is intellectual intercourse." I think it would be hilarious to read about Hanson going, "Let's have intellectual intercourse!" And they have their thick glasses and pocket protectors, their clad in brown pants and checkered shirts, and that they're just getting a kick out of imagining what "intellectual intercourse" really is. Ha ha (by the way, don't steal this new-found idea from me. It's mine now, and I'm going to write about it. Just watch.).
• Have you ever seen a cat sneeze? It is the CUTEST thing. Mine does it ALL the time.
• I was picking people who would last the longest on Survivor, and I couldn't decide on a fourth one, so I started to recite the "Eenie meenie minie moe" poem. You know how it goes, "Eenie meenie minie moe, catch a tiger by the toe, if he hollers let him go, eenie meenie minie moe"? Well, in my Mother's day (the 50's-60's), it went "Eenie meenie minie moe, catch a nigger by the toe, if he hollers make him pay, 50 dollars every day." Nice how the times have changed. I gasped when my mom told me that.
