Random Thoughts

Another weekend is gone, I'm up too late, and I have a number of things on my mind. Among them are the following:

- Isn't it funny how time compresses when you're trying to enjoy yourself, and elongates when you want to be doing something else?

- I'm always perplexed by the "anti-gay" people on the internets who seem to think they know more about "the gay" than actual gay people.

- Why is it that the current cost of a car now, is more than the cost of a house in the 1970s? My parents had a 30-year loan on a $17,000 house!

- Do kids of today see 1980s music in the same way I (as a kid of the 70s) saw big band music?

- Likewise, do kids of today see record players, Dymo label makers, typewriters and pagers the way I see the telegraph, or a horse-drawn carriages?

- No matter what kind of television show you like best, more than half of your favorite shows will be cancelled before they get to prove themselves.

- If you have a strongly held opinion, it will be rebutted forcefully in the news, but it will infuriate you that it wasn't correctly portrayed.

- When it is time to go to bed, you won't want to go.

- You will find yourself in the dentist's chair and feel that the time interval is far shorter than the calendar tells you is true.

- Your political opposites will believe as fervently as you do that they are right, and that you are wrong.

- Alone time is fantastic, but together time is awesome too.

Have a great week, everybody. I'm just going to try to keep my head down, and my shoulder to the wheel.
