Random thoughts... I have them and I have them often. I believe I suffer from adult onset ADD (which I may have mentione) NOT ADHD...cuz the only thing hyper about me is my thoughts. I also suffer from OCD...Oh...huge...about stupid stuff and I know it's stupid but I do it anyway.
1) I have this blanket with a big old grizzly bear (or, maybe it's a brown bear or a kodiak...not sure...it's just REALLY big...) on it and when I sleep with it, the bear's head has to be by my head or I can't sleep. This is completely nuts but if the bear's feet are near my head, it makes me a little crazy.
B) My socks have to match. This may not seem odd to you...however, if you stop to consider that all my socks are white and most of them are half-calf...then you understand that it's just a little obsessive to "match" them...but there are some that are thicker than others, some that have gray heels and toes, some that have red stitching across the toe with "Hanes" on them. I cannot handle mix-n-match. Last night, I was late for work because the pair I grabbed wasn't matched properly...I had one Hanes and one "not hanes". I tried...believe me, I tried so hard to just go with it...and couldn't. I had to find another pair.
Red) Don't touch my computer screen. Don't leave fingerprints on it. Wrap the cords properly.
4) If I start watching a movie...even if it's one I've seen 100 times or one I hate...I have to watch it to the end. Seriously, I cannot turn a movie off in the middle. Now, I KNOW the movie isn't going to change from the last time I saw it...but it might...and I need to make sure it doesn't.
These are just off the top of my head. There is a certain world order I adhere to and it's a little crazy, I admit it. That covers my OCD. Well, some of it. Oh...and I hate internet speak. Except for LOL and the like. But...is it soooo hard to spell YOU that you have to shorten it to "u"? or ARE "r". Pls. Srsly. GtRl. L8R Dood. ARGHHHH. I don't want to have to decode what I'm reading. I like to READ it, get what I need from it and move on with my day.
As to my ADD...see, I didn't start this blog with this in mind, it just evolved here... the original point of my post was this.
I think President Obama is going about this stimulus package all wrong. Instead of shelling out 825BILLION dollars for "infrastructure" and what*ever... I think every tax payer (notice...TAX PAYER) should get 500k.
Now...that sounds a little crazy, I know...but it would be cheaper and it would definitely stimulate the economy. It could stabilize the housing and car markets and allow people to actually...I dunno... go OUT to dinner and a movie so that the restaurant and cinemas could stay in business. They would also have some disposable income for those big ticket items... tvs, ipods, computers, laptops... Spore...gods I covet that game but with an almost 70$ price tag I won't buy it until I can get it used at gamestop for 20 or 30. Especially since there are expansion pack thingies.
Also...I have an issue with taxes...well, several.
1) I shouldn't have to pay them. I mean, I'm not afforded the same rights as everyone else, so why should I pay for them? Oh, yeah...exactly. I'm a little annoyed about the whole marriage bill thing since my gf needs to be put on my insurance and I can't afford her. Grr. Argh.
B) There's something on the radio about how Donald Trump and his chauffeur both share the same... something about the top tax whatever. It boils down to this...everyone pays X% ... So... for the sake of easy math - let's say everyone pays 10% of their income. Donald Trump Makes 100,000$ per year and the chauffeur makes 1000$ a year (again, simple math). 10% of 100,000$ is 10,000, 10% or 1000$ is 100. Donald is definitely paying more in taxes but the chauffeur is feeling it more. Some people think Donald should pay more because he makes more...but that hardly seems fair. I mean, in some ways it makes sense but it doesn't seem fair to tax people for working hard and making lots of money. So Donald pays his taxes, plus his chauffeur's salary (and hundreds of other salaries) and now we think he should pay for the chauffeur's son's public education, the roads that lead to the buildings he's putting up and the water facility to clean the water that will be pumped into his buildings. Ummm...Yeah...something isn't right there. Why should someone else foot the bill for something we all need and use?
Yeah, I don't have an answer for this. At all. Some people can only make 1000$ a year...for whatever reason their circumstances are. But I hardly think the Donald Trumps of this world should pay for the 14 children that crazy woman in California had. No one forced that woman to have the children, she CHOSE to. I don't think taxpayers...any taxpayers...should be forced to foot the bill for someone else's stupidity and irresponsibility. No accountability for her actions...she's expecting to be paid for her interviews, is expecting free stuff from baby places. Huh...and here I was thinking you were responsible for your own children (crazy of me, I know, given the field I work in and the neglected kids I see every day).
I'm also having neighbor issues. I truly hate apartment living.
Think That'll Do It,
