I need a new comb

1. If the person you're planning to marry comes up in conversation and your speech about them reflects an understanding of them as a role player and not as an active partner in the future that's being discussed, there is a problem. You've reduced the marriage to an objective to be completed, which strips it of it's significance.

2. It's written on my face and you can read it from my psalms.

3. There is something to be learned from a (wo)man who lives a life devoid of significant connection to material goods. It provides an immense degree of freedom & will alter the relationship you have with your living space. It's a bit much for me at this juncture but I do respect those are able to procure the most from such a lifestyle.

4. In listening to what isn't being said, I've been able to better understand what is being said and this deciphering act keeps me from saying much at all which reads to the masses as though I have little to say, if anything, at all. I'm just trying to find my place in the conversation.

5. Its amazing how easily "deep thinkers" are turned around when faced with a series of less than clear references.

6. Who will survive in America?

7. The never ending need to remain abreast of everything thats going on allover the world at all times and maintain a strong conversational knowledge of the intricacies of each event and the effect it has on it's sphere of immediate influence, mainly constrained to 3 degrees of removal or less is a full time job. It also robs me of any semblance of rest, as my mind fails to shut down and my dreaming hours are void of dreams.

8. I like Google+ as a Facebook alternative. The masses however are very much devoted to the friendly GUI that Facebook offers and some aspects of Google+ remind even my brighter friends that they need to refresh and expand their working knowledge of logic and if-then clauses. Some of the experience reminds me of Windows network administrating. I wasn't an administrator but I was training to become one, I changed my mind when I realized that the men who were teaching the course were brilliant but socially awkward because their careers demanded that they be in a room full of servers all day with very little physical human interaction. I need human interaction, even when I say I don't.

9. Japan wins the World Cup yesterday and Americans offer this condescending commentary "It's been a rough year for them, so it's ok" Really?! A damn World Cup win is going to offset the damage caused by the tsunamis? You mean to tell me a trophy is going to make the radioactive meat on the shelves safe to consume? It'll help rebuild villages and cities wiped off the map too??

10. Why do men's magazines like Details, Esquire, GQ, etc always suggest the most expensive clothing items for men each season? It never fails, no matter what the item is, they can't endorse the more accessible version. The $600 Summer weight sweater always gets the nod.
