Ever Wonder Why?


Ever wonder why there are perforations on toilet paper?   Seriously, does anyone have problems ripping this stuff?  Does anyone use one square at a time?

Ever wonder why the news is on at 7am, 6pm and 11pm?  Isn’t one of the biggest issues in our country, people not being up on current events?  Maybe stories of dead girls and war isn’t what people want to listen to when we’re eating breakfast, eating dinner or going to sleep.

Ever wonder why hot dogs come in packs of eight, but sodas and beer come in packs of six?   Doesn’t it seem like the BBQ gods would have done something about that?  Don’t get me started on Hebrew National hot fogs coming in packs of seven, when the buns come in packs of eight.

Ever wonder why when you buy coffee in a can, half the can is empty, but when you buy it in the bag it’s full to the point it’s spilling out?  Why can’t they fill the can?  Is there the same law as the potato chips bag?

 Ever wonder why the best restaurants have the best bread baskets?  Aren’t those the ones that you don’t want to ruin your appetite at?  Even the butter is better.

Ever wonder why supermarkets put the slowest cashier at the Express Lane?  I guess when you think about it, the words stop and shop is an oxymoron in itself.

Ever wonder why people write how busy they are in their Facebook statuses?  Not much to add to that statement.

Ever wonder why church is on Sunday?  If God rested on this day, why should his followers have to wake up early and go to listen to someone else who happens to be working?

Ever wonder why happy hour is after work, but before you get home to your family?  Says a lot about the state of family in America.

Ever wonder why the people who scream the loudest about illegal immigration are the small business owners who hire them?  Oddly enough, these are the same people who eat at chains, instead of authentic Mexican restaurants.

Ever wonder why the girls who dress the sluttiest are the ones who call men pigs?  How about you have some respect for yourself before you generalize our thought process.

Ever wonder why the girls you know who actually get sports are single?  This seems the most ironic dating stereotype of all.  Plus, is there anything sexier than a girl in a baseball jersey with a pony tail sticking out of the back of her cap?  In case you’re wondering, unless she’s wearing a lace get up with a garter belt, the answer is no.

Ever wonder why inflation has affected the everyday things families used to enjoy on a night out (movies, museums, sporting events, fine dining) but the price of things to stay at home are going down (televisions, computers, video games systems, junk food)?

Every wonder why the people you actually know with money are rarely the most intelligent and vice versa?   You may also notice, those who call people shallow are usually the most materialistic.

Ever wonder why the people who are most appalled with the likes of Casey Anthony, OJ and other villains, are the ones who never stop talking about them and promote their celebrity status?

White Privilege

This was a post I wrote on Facebook after surprisingly not seeing any moaning about the Documentary by Jose Antonio Vargas, titled White People Dayyum! I just scrolled my timeline and not a single white person got their feelings hurt by White People. I unfortunately haven't seen it, but the number of fake accounts that popped up on twitter, tells me it was a damn good show. Here's the thing. If someone of color aka non-white says "White Privilege," are you offended? If you said yes, then you are exhibiting white privilege. It has nothing to do with how hard you work or study, how you stayed out of trouble, because here's the thing, that is entirely the point. Somewhere out there, there are 100 Black, Spanish, Native American, Arab, Asian, who worked and studied as hard as you and never got in trouble, but they don't have what you "earned" or achieved. Stop looking at the one person you know who isn't white that achieved as your benchmark. Loo...

Quickie Review - Finding Vivian Maier

While I thoroughly enjoyed the film, especially the first 15-20 minutes, I was a little bothered by the way the film played out. The interviews with the clearly disturbed brother, sister and the mother, who obviously, was in for a cut, didn't need to be in the film. Then the woman who suggested abuse, yet seemed to have her life defined by Maier, as she tried to muster every ounce of emotion and fake guilt. Her friend, more than happy to be party of the charade. People who talk about abuse for the first time, usually don't do so on camera. The fact these scenes were so prominent, shows that they felt wronged that they were not rewarded. Maloof on the other hand, seems to disappear from the documentary during this part, almost hiding away from the fact, he went from complete praise, to even making money off of her, to destroying her personal legacy. He almost mentions the family of boys taking care of her rent, as an afterthought. Her burial spot, never shown, yet a video of her...

If You Listen To One Speech - Lana Wachowski

http://www.rollingstone.com/movies/videos/lana-wachowski-opens-up-about-difficult-past-and-attempted-suicide-20121024 Today I saw a link to a video for a speech by Lana Wachowski.  The last name rung a bell, but I could't put my finger on it. Lana, used to be Larry, one of the writer, director, producers of the Matrix trilogy, V for Vendetta and the upcoming Cloud Atlas.  Lana is transgendered and has "come out" as a woman.  She was being honored by the Human Rights Campaign. I didn't know what to expect when this broad woman with crazy hair and a raspy voice began to speak.  She began with the usual pleasantries and told of her hair dresser. She then tells of her desire to be a quiet person and how hard the success of the Matrix movies made this.  The first ten minutes is telling of how she's not quite ready to be this spokesperson.  Then she speaks about the new movie Cloud Atlas and reveals the heart of the movie and this speech. She states,"The resp...
