Bob's random thoughts/rants
Just writing about my thoughts, dreams, random things I think about. Or write some rants about stuff I either love or hate
Just a lot of random questions I have...
For those actually reading this, its just a ton of questions I have. They don't really have to do much with anything but hey... major kudo's if you can give answers to them all or even attempt. 3nodding

~ Why is the sunroom always the coldest room in any house?
~ Why is it friends say "Sorry, my room's messy" when you don't really care if they have a messy room or not?
~ Why won't anyone tell you your zipper's down until the end of the day?
~ Why are Slurpee's at 7/11 different? (They weren't as liquidy before)
~ Why does a Slurpee suck after you get 3/4's finished with it?
~ How did they even get the name Slurpee? (did someone just slurp then called out "ee"... or something)
~ Why do I have so many questions about Slurpee's?
~ Seriously though... how many licks does it take to get to the end of a Tootsie Pop? (Answered.. one of my friends said it takes 2,314)
~ Why is the Tootise Pop question the most frequently asked candy question?
~ Why are 90% of English and Science teachers boring?
~ Why are 80% of statistics just made up on the spot?
~ Why is it when you ask "What's up?" the answer is always nothing?
~ Why are you looked at funny if you wear a bandanna?
~ Why is the i-phone so frecking expensive?
~ Why do I have so many random question that don't really have to do with anything?
~ Why does all hip/hop and techno sound the same?
~ Whatever happened to grunge rock?
~ Why is gas so expensive?
~ Why is it impossible to get a job in the U.S anymore?
~ Why did I make this journal entry and actually my whole journal public eek ?
~ Why is Denver so much better than Colorado Springs?
~ Why is Denver so expensive to live in?
~ Why aren't there a lot of street/guitar performers anymore?
~ If I made a eraser bracelet, would anyone buy it?
~ Why do hotdog buns come in packs of 6 but just hotdogs come in packs of 8?
~ Why do I feel drunk if I drink too much tea? (Seriously do)

I might add some more questions later on... if I think of anymore

    You'll never expect what you can't see...

    ~ 'The sunroom is always the coldest room in any house' because it has so many windows. Windows have the one of the lesser ability to trap heat, so whatever 'good' the sun is doing quickly rises straight out of the room.
    ~ 'Friends say "Sorry, my room's messy" when you don't really care if they have a messy room or not' because it is in truth that they are typically embarrassed about the room or feel you'd have to maneuver in some strange manner to get across it.
    ~ No one will 'tell you your zipper's down until the end of the day' because they are ashamed to admit they were staring at your crotch.
    ~ 'Slurpee's at 7/11 are different because' the ice freezers are kept at a higher temperature than they used to be as a ploy to save money.
    ~ 'A Slurpee does suck after you get 3/4's finished with it because by then either most of the syrup that they originally put on TOP has been eaten, or the ice has melted too much at that point and watered down the taste.
    ~ 'They got the name Slurpee...' well it was originally going to be slurpy, but either that name was already taken or it wasn't cute enough for 'today's' populace.
    ~ 'You have so many questions about Slurpee's' because they, for whatever reason, fascinate you at the moment.
    ~ Well... that depends how you lick, the size of your tongue, how much saliva you're trading between your mouth and the candy, and many other factors... let's just go with your friend... 2,314!
    ~ 'The Tootsie Pop question is the most frequently asked candy question' because it is their trade mark... people just shouldn't question candy... it ruins the 'fun' of it.
    ~ '90% of English and Science teachers are boring' because they have to take something potentially enjoyable and dissect it until it's just facts.
    ~ '80% of statistics are just made up on the spot' because no one actually takes the time to look at the numbers.
    ~ 'When you ask "What's up?" the answer is always nothing' because they have obviously never looked up before. In all seriousness, it is slang asking what is going on/what is happening and the person your asking doesn't believe it is important enough to tell you about it at the moment... or it's just a habitual response to that question.
    ~ 'You are looked at funny if you wear a bandanna' because it isn't the current trend and is usually referenced to something 'bad' as a motorcycle gangs or just general 'gangstas.' I personally see nothing wrong with wearing one.
    ~ 'The i-phone is so frecking expensive' because the company believes people will buy them at that price. It is cost and demand my friend, as long as they're selling, the price stays high. As soon as they're 'obsolete, the price will inevitably go down.
    ~ 'You have so many random question that don't really have to do with anything' because you are curious?.. nothing more.
    ~ 'All hip/hop and techno does sound the same' because it is a simple beat, typically close to the same tempo between songs, brought to 'life by a simple repetitious rhythm.
    ~ 'Whatever happened to grunge rock?' It faded, and isn't the current fad.
    ~ 'Gas is so expensive' because the gas companies want better profits. Supply and demand again. 'Even if it infuriates you, if you'll buy it a high price, why lower it?' UGH.
    ~ 'It is impossible to get a job in the U.S anymore' because companies believe no longer believe they have to teach you what you need to know to do the job. If you don't have the degree, a perfect background, experience, and a will to work for nothing, you aren't qualified for the job.
    ~ 'You make this journal entry and actually my whole journal public' because, at some level, you wanted someone to see it, to think, or just to see if someone's listening and will respond.
    ~ 'Why is Denver so much better than Colorado Springs?' I've never been to either, so I don't know.
    ~ 'Why is Denver so expensive to live in?' Dude... everywhere in the US is expensive...
    ~ 'There aren't a lot of street/guitar performers anymore' because even they need to make a living... but not even they can make it off people's 'charity.'
    ~ 'If you made an eraser bracelet,' I'm sure someone would buy it... but not me, no offense?
    ~ 'Why do hot dog buns come in packs of 6 but just hot dogs come in packs of 8?' A secrete marketing technique my friend. 'Oop, now we need more hot dog buns for these hot dogs... but we don't want to waste the buns!... so we need more hot dogs.' They just want money.
    ~ 'Why do I feel drunk if I drink too much tea? (Seriously do)' It could be the trace amounts of caffeine. Depending on the tea, some are allowed to ferment before serving

    Sorry if this was dull or depressing... I'm half asleep right now. lol. 2 in the morning, baby! woot!
    ...then, one day, it'll bite ya

    Wow, thanks man. (Wasn't expecting answer to take the time to all of my stupid questions). Lol, yeah... asking questions does take the fun of out of it. And even though it's just a habit to say nothing after what's up, you have to admit it does get kind of annoying after a while. Thanks again for answering them all. 2 in the morning eek ? ... Wow, well good night ^^
