time vs. money

What causes people more stress, lack of time or money?  Ask anyone this question and most likely the response will be money - and everyone has their reasons for instantly thinking money:  if you have money, time isn't an issue...we don't have enough time because we need money....lack of money is just stressful!

And it does make sense.  As much as some may want to deny it, money is just....necessary.  But after thinking more about this I've concluded that it's not in fact a lack of money that stresses people out, it's a lack of time.  Time in a "small-picture" sense, like I need to do laundry but I don't have time to get it done before I have to work tomorrow.  But also time just in general...the finite-ness of life.  You'll never have enough time.  Doesn't matter how much money you have, time will always be limited.

I have so many more reasons for this that I just can't put into words.  But think about it.  It makes a lot of sense.

you never know what you're gonna get

"Life, it's like a box of chocolates. Cheap, thoughtless, perfunctory gift that nobody ever asks for. Unreturnable because all you ever get back is another box of chocolates. So you are stuck with this undefinable whipped mint crap that you mindlessly gulp down till there is nothing else left to eat. Sure, once a while, there is a peanutbutter cup, English toffee, but they are gone too fast, the taste is fleeting. So you end up with nothing but broken bits filled with hardened jelly and teeth shattering nuts. If you are desperate enough to eat those, all you have got left is an empty box filled with useless brown paper wrappers."

sagging skinny tight baggy jeans....what?

I don't get it.  I saw a boy walking down the median of the road sporting this bizarre contradicting style.  Sagging skinny jeans.  I missed the green arrow because I was too busy staring at this boy wondering why he thought this style worked.

When trying to find an image that would convey this bizarre style, I realized that evidently it is an emerging trend supported by, who else, Lil Wayne.




Go figure.

how-to

My how-to of the day is How to build a lean to using two trees and i was thinking that seems incredibly irrelevant to my life and then I though that if I'm ever on survivor, this would be a really useful thing to know.  So I read it.

I wonder if I'll ever need to know this.

Rather....I wonder if I'll ever be in a situation where knowing this information would be really useful but I can't remember anything.  Just that I once read about it.

You know something's screwed up when you need to set an alarm to make sure you're up by 1:30 (in the afternoon.....)

Swine Flu day 4

I've been hacking up a lung, suffocating because I can't breathe, unusually quiet since talking hurts, sneezing like I'm in training to be the Ultimate Sneezer, and personally supporting the tissue industry.  You know what that means?  Yes, swine flu.  It has to be.  There's no other possible sickness to have anymore, H1N1 has beaten down all the other viruses/bacteria and claimed humans for itself.  And swine too.  Same difference? Ha! (insert punchline drum roll).  The incredibly frustrating part is that I rarely get sick, much less the "sniffling, sneezing, coughing, aching, stuffy head" kind....even less often the kind that lasts longer than a day or two.  


I've been asked if I feel any better and, well, if you know about swine flu you know there is no better.  It just gets worse and worse.  Then you die.  I'm preparing for my death.  Each day I add a new symptom, while the old ones remain.  


All I'm lacking is a fever & SICKNESS (i.e. nausea).  Then I would definitely be on my death bed.
