I hate… Things I don’t understand:
This is hilarious. Soap operas and NASCAR: I totally agree - what is the point?
Kami, I agree with you about the other sports. Is there a point to any sport? And, why does there have to be a point to enjoy it?I love NASCAR and the NFL. Enjoy watching hockey as long as I'm at the stadium. Hate basketball and golf. Barely tolerate baseball.
I like the sound of NFL while I nap. It's more restful than the sound of waves. Puts me right to sleep like a baby.
I hate soap operas!!!!!!!! It's not interesting television. She got married, she's having an affair, now she has his baby, over and over and over. Gay men leave you more woman, but the lesbians certainly don't.
Oh those kinds of things you don't understand. I thought you were talking about things like relativity. I thinking I understand and then it's used in a context that seems far more complicated than the simple law, and I feel stupid. Same thing for quantum physics, I get it, but take it further out, and I break into a sweat. But I love it - I love learning new things and puzzling them out. Even tho my brain cells have certainly diminished over the years!But NASCAR? Yeah, and I don't even want to understand. Exactly. Zoom zoom zoom. Used to hate football until my boy started seriously playing it - how the hell did that happen anyway? I thought any child of mine would love the arts, theatre, reading, academics. At least now I understand there really is strategic intelligence behind it.
I don't understand how the country is in love with all these stupid reality shows!
Maybe the mailbox is someone's idea of a joke?
I don't understand a word when Seth and Alfonso go off with their own conversations! Maybe the first several exchanges are comprehensible. Then my head starts spinning. Altho it is amusing.http://www.goodreads.com/topic/show_g...
Montambo, The name is Miguel Alfonso de Jesus Gutierrez xxxx (one more last name) Ven aca means come here in Spanish -=PIf you understand Seth can you please explain this to me?
you said to Seth:
I was writing a funny message questioning your sexuality, blaming you for the Kennedy assassination, and linking your latest lack of posting to al Qaeda activates... but I hit the delete key by mistake and I don’t feel like writing it all again but trust me it was really funny!@!
Seth said to you:
Hardy, hardy hardy, hardy hardy hardy, hardy hardy, hardy laurel, hardy hardy hardy, hardy boy hardy, hardy hardy HAR!
you said to Seth:
WTF! dude seriously you make me laugh like there's no tomorrow and i don’t even get that! but i've been trying to read it out loud for 2 minutes now and i cant =(
Lori, lesbian are hot… really hot!!! MUCHO CALIENTE!!
KD, Love you too man.
Donna, the freaking box is attach to a tree and is really high is not even on the side walk… and it freaks the living shit out of me at first I thought it was a bird house… but then I stopped to check it out and it says: USA post (something I don’t remember) I’ve ask a lot of people if they know what the hell it is but nobody seems to know. every time I walk by it I keep staring at it hoping that it will explain me something… or is just where the squirrels get their mail…??
Seth, I’m terrified of giving my reviews to you with something more than and a Me like… cuz you be so eloquent and me be so stupid. You intimidate me…. And I told you I did watch that movie as a kid… I was waiting for porn at like 3 in the morning when I saw that old lady with some dude stretching her face… I freak out and went to sleep =(
Buaaaaaaaa, I don’t matter how much American pop culture I learn, I always miss so many jokes!!!! Buaaaaaa I got my limits. When they going to invent something like what they used on the matrix so I can learn a lot of shit fast!!!! Me so stupid!Seth, my dude I was like 14, watching TV on mute, praying to see a boob!!! Just a boob!!! And bang stretching face lady!!! One day I may tell you how ugly it got a few weeks after that with that horror/sex scene from the shinning.
I prefer the Alfred Hitchcock and the Three Investigators series, myself. They had that cool clubhouse hidden in the junkyard, with secret tunnels to it.The Secret of Terror Castle
From the description of that book you linked to, Donna:When the Hardy boys reached the caves, they came unexpectedly upon a queer old hermit.
I have nothing to say to that.
There is only one Gatsby hater, and that is me!!!
I am not fond of Gatsby, but it's true, I don't think it's a strong enough feeling to be called hate. Strongly dislike, though...
And I would have brought Easy Cheeze and Ritz crackers to said party.
My son got into the Hardy Boys when he was young. First we read them to him, and he was motivated enough to want to read them on his own.Reading them to him was painful, I tell you!
Mrs. Hardy went into the kitchen to make some sandwiches.
Mrs. Hardy cooked all day because she knew the boys would be hungry after they came home.
Mrs. Hardy packed a big lunch for her husband and boys to take with them while they investigated.
Oh look! Mrs. Hardy included some of the cake she baked the night before in their packed lunch.
Hmm, I wonder if Mrs. Hardy might have had an ulterior motive for packing those big lunches to get the men out of the house all day. Perhaps she was indulging in a little afternoon delight with the mailman?
No life? Dude if there’s something wrong with: watching movies, reading books, listening to music, eating, being a sociopath, and bitching about stuff on good reads…! I don’t want to be right!!!
Seth, Lol Brilliant!!!!!Montambo, is that a 666 on that girl's boobs???
Seth, what super villain would you like to be on a batman movie?
What about you Montambo?
dude the last samurai be cool... i havent seen the others but charlies angels.... STAY THE FUCK AWAY FROM THAT MOVIE DUDE!!!!!
Dude, i love Drew Barrymore… I mean I’ll fuck her till her nose bleed… but that movie… dear mother google!!! I couldn’t even finish watching it!!! It sux ass!
Montambo, satanic boobies!!! Now that’s an exorcism that I would like to perform!!!!
Seth, my dude, my brother from another mother, what you think you expected to do to get women??? And seriously dude wtf happened to you? What horrible, horrible incident on your life got you so frustrated???
NASCAR is stupid....I dont understand why people watch it....my grandfather does but I'm pretty sure its because he's too fat to get out of his reciner chair....As for the women comment Gee Thanks! -_-
I don't care for spiders but this little guy is winning me over.I was giggling like mad over how unimpressed his dance partner was, it reminded me of people watching at bars.
Okay, she's not impressed by how I can take shots of Jager...let's try talking loudly about my sweet ride...nope...maybe shoot some stick...no...she's gotta fall for wrestling my skinny pal to the ground...no...
No kidding, huh? I saw it with my ex and we were giving each other little shifty glances during that scene!
Have you gotten to the dung beetle?
He (she?) is my favorite!
Me too, Donna. People were talking about it yesterday too. I'm thinking even the Kid will like it.
Sweet dreams, Sarah.May visions of invertebrates dance in your head.
Seth,I thoroughly enjoyed message 86.
:-)
I can't help but remind myself that it's a big chunk of poo and imagine if that were my life, rolling around a big ball of poo my own size, and then the wonder of it all just escapes me.
Carlie, to the dung beetle it's not just poo, it's food. It would be like us wheeling the cart around the grocery store.
Here's my take on the dung beetle:1. I love the complexities of my life and I in no way wish to be a beetle BUT there are times when I envy the simplicity of having the concerns of life narrowed to a specific focus. For the dung beetle it is maintaining her dung ball. Find nutritional poop, roll into ball, move ball from place to place. After doing the finely nuanced dance of being a working student alotting time for friends, family and a partner, having one concern opposed to many can be enviable in an abstract way.
2. Given the one concern of the dung beetle, the scene from Microcosmos is inspirational. Her ball of dung gets hung up on a twig and she applies all her effort to get it rolling again. As someone who occasionally feels stuck, the application of effort to move forward is beautiful.
Again, HOORAY FOR THE DUNG BEETLE!
Tesse; I am both inspired by your insight into the world of the dung beetle, and put off at the same time. I think you might be reading a bit much into the life of a dung beetle.However I feel the irresistible urge to comet. Having a narrow scope of existence would be a horrible existence for the human mind. I don't think we are capable of living small one track lives. Almost everything we do contributes to the complexity of our daily lives. I find this Ironic because we all seem to set out to simplify our lives but only ever succeeds at making them more complex. And the paradox continues.
Please don't take an overly literal approach to my view of the dung beetle.I believe I said I love the complexities of my life.
Let me put a finer point on it:
I don't think I'd be happy with a narrow focus to life, doing one thing for survival only.
I don't even think the beetle is "happy".
It was just a way to state that observing simplicity can bring calm to a chaotic mind from time to time.
I was also trying to get people past the ick factor of the poop. To the beetle it is life, plain and simple.
Nope, sorry, will never get past the ick factor of poop...especially the poo of another species. Then again, I have eaten honey which is basically bee vomit.
Mmmmm bulimic bees. Tasty :D
I guess it was kind of dry.
I think that depends on the type of dung, Donna. Have you ever seen that crusty 3 week old puppy duce perched in a yard? I don't think that would add much moisture to a tasty treat. You would probably have to visit a hospital and look in bed pans for the proper consistency.
Wow, small world I have been busting my back trying to find a decent truck load of peat to till into my yard. I have very acidic soil, and it is killing all of my wife’s plants/veg's
I was thinking about surprising the wife with lilacs (sp) trees. Do those do well in our soil?
Will they survive the winters? Blueberries/lilacsI don't want to have to replant every year. Trying to do something nice for her, not enslave myself to the yard for the rest of time.
well then I think you need to fix the pictures.
