Random Thoughts…Again

Hello. It’s been awhile since I’ve written, and for that I apologize. We’ve been very busy trying to get ready to move and still continue with the other day to day nonsense that I’m sure everyone else deals with as well. Everything is going o.k., it’s just a very hectic and somewhat stressful time. I’m pretty sure I’ll survive, but just in case things take a bad turn, please keep a good thought.

Generally, when you see me doing a “Random Thoughts” piece, it means I can’t think of one damned thing to write about. And that is exactly what it means this time as well. I’ve got many things on my mind, some of which may be worth writing about. But at the moment my mind is overwhelmed, so tonight it’s random thoughts. Think of it as looking around in your refrigerator for something to eat before you’ve gone shopping, and making a snack out of whatever you find. Maybe not great, but hopefully it won’t kill you. And away we go…….

1) Why aren’t English Muffins cut all the way through? Whenever you want to have one, you have to cut it through so that it can be put in the toaster. Now I’m aware that this isn’t really any big deal, I guess I just find it odd. They are cut almost all the way through anyway, you’d think it would be easier to just finish the job instead of stopping  right before the end. Is it me or does this seem strange to anyone else? It’s probably just me.

2) I’ve noticed that there are quite a few of these “paranormal” or “ghost hunter” shows on T.V. They all use sophisticated equipment and techniques designed to find the ghost or ghosts residing at that weeks site. Everyone on these shows walks around in the dark, hearing or feeling something out of the ordinary. Some of these folks try to speak with or to the spirits, and in some cases even challenge them in a threatening way.  So here’s the question. How come at the end of everyone of these shows, during the “reveal” there is never any visual evidence to back up any claim of paranormal activity? Despite all of the high tech gadgets, there is never one time when you see a real “ghost” or anything close to it.

I just want to see some tangible evidence. A spooky old man or women passing in front of the camera or some turn of the century children playing in the halls, you know, like in the movies. Is that so much to ask? Maybe that’s the problem with reality television. Reality just isn’t that exciting. I think I may be on to something.

Well, I think that’s it for tonight. This is the kind of stuff I think about more often then I care to admit, and if you’ve bothered to read this to it’s conclusion, you’re my kind of people. I’ll talk with you again soon when I’m out here playing in quicksand.
