On Life and Lies
This post is inspired by Ben's latest post.
I think that wine is the greatest invention of all time. Wine has permeated history to such a degree that it is a prevalent influence on the ancient Greeks, Romans, Turks, Mongols, and heck - even Jesus uses one of his earthly miracles to turn water into the sacred liquid. Wine. It is the backbone of fluid society.
I think in 100 years, concepts of race identity are going to be very, very different. I see it already: I am African-American, I am Afro-Hispanic, I am Anglo-Chinese. I know so many people that are the product of so many different races, that concepts of what a race is will be blurred and changed come 2106. Heck, it's probably going to be a lot sooner than that, but given a hundred years time I think it is almost guaranteed.
I think that kids today have a much better fashion sense than I do. I think this is because they might realize what a gift they have in their smallish frames...they can pull off daring ensembles a lot better than us curvy adults. I wore jeans and a sundress to work the other day with a grey cotton biker jacket, and I felt daring. A seventh-grader wearing the same outfit would not be treated the same. I think 25 years old is a lot older than I am quite ready to admit.
I think a good man is hard to find. Though, with modern technology, it's not for a lack of trying.
I think that not having a TV is only detrimental in very specific, short-term circumstances. I wished I had one during the Olympics, for example. However, I am glad I don't own one. It would be too much of a temptation.
I think that I am addicted to the internet. When it goes down around my apartment, I am thrust into a terrible mood. It frightens me. It makes me want to immediately pray and meditate for compassion, grace, and for God's sakes some patience or something until this lifeline of information capacity is restored.
I think that SUV's are just getting to be really passe. I think it is time for the re-emergence of the minivan as the "cool" car. Minivan drivers, assemble!!!
I think Trader Joe's should just have a giant basket of fresh fruit for people to select from when buying. All those plastic containers may preserve the fruit and keep it fresh, but it makes it seem so antiseptic. Major grocery store chains have attractive baskets of fruit every which way, and I like to see that. I feel more like I'm shopping at a farmer's market, which I would imagine Trader Joe's would be more inclined towards imitating. That said, I think Trader Joe's has THE MOST gorgeous employees of any food store. Hands down. Those guys? Are hot.
Things I Lied About This Week
I said I was a natural blonde. I am...but it is like a mousy blonde-brown, not a golden blonde. Not so much a lie, but more of an exaggeration.
I said I was having a good time.
I said I wasn't having a good time.
I said I was over him and he didn't mean anything to me anymore. What wasn't a lie was that I said it wasn't who he was thinking about...it was someone else. That wasn't a lie.
I said I was sorry. But I wasn't sorry at all.

I think – I lied, no, I know I lied, especially when I said that I thought. Because that’s a lie as I hardly ever really think, maybe sorta ponder, in a very vague sorta way, but truly think, well, no, no, well, maybe that’s a lie because now I’m actually thinking about thinking!
Alls I have to say is this.
Salt.
Not an invention, per se, but wars were fought over it.
