Romeo and Juliet - Do you really wanna be them?

Why would anyone want to compare themselves to Romeo and Juliet. I mean really, they commit suicide at the end of the play. And not only do they die, many of their friends and family die because of them.

Even so today there are many couples who compare themselves to the most tragic couple all time.

What I wanna know is what is it about them that is so special? Is it the fact that they meet at a masked ball? Is it that they rebelled against their parents? Oh wait maybe its because just hours before Romeo fell in lust with Juliet, he was preoccupied with Rosaline a couple of hours before?

You know what I got it. It's that after only a couple of days, of knowing each other they ran away to get married. I mean unless your drunk, who does that?! Like really. That's not romantic that's just weird.

Romeo and Juliet are not my example of an ideal relationship. I think i'd rather be a Odysseus and Penelope. At least they never cheated on each other or killed themselves, or even caused the death of their family and friends. Yes there were separated for twenty years but hey doesn't true love wait.

Why did the chicken cross the road?

Does it really matter? Why do we have to know why the chicken crossed the road? Can't he just cross the road in peace? Like really, does it matter where he is going? And what's with the obsession with the chicken? I mean why not make it more realistic and make it a deer? Or make it more creative - such as a walking fish? So many questions I have but yet everyone keeps asking the same question - why did the chicken cross the road?

The language does not always change with the times

The sun does not rise. It's impossible, the sun does not move. The Earth rotates.

It is funny how in the English language there are certain phases that stick with us that are scientific incorrect or that only can be applied during a certain time period. An good example of a time period only saying would be pot calling the kettle black. But think about it, today kettles and pots come in all different colors, at the time when this saying came about all kitchenware was made from iron. So this saying could be harder for our generation to understand with out first doing research.

But even though these sayings are wrong or no longer relevant, we still use them. I wonder why that is? Is it just because we have been hearing them for so long so they stick?

Sibling love is a funny thing

So I am the oldest of three. I have a brother who is sixteen months younger then me and a sister who is seven years younger then me. I love them and I know that they love me but the sure have a funny way of showing it.

Their favorite way is to wake me up in the morning. They have used lights, dogs, flying pillows, flying bodies, loud voices, you get the point. It's awful and I hate it.

Now if that wasn't showing enough love right there we also like to tease each other about our crushes in front of our parents. ( I feel as if that is very cruel)
My little sister likes to run around making kissing noises at all of us.

The love also continues with the name calling, and the smacks and the punches, as well as the blaming and the teasing.

But its all good because there is a poem on our fridge where my sister calls me her hero. And even though my brother is about a foot taller then me and hundred pounds heavier, he still likes to use me as a pillow when ever he is tired or sad.

Sometimes I don't like my siblings very much but I always love them.

Me + technology = huge mess

Technology is so not my thing. I think I am living in the wrong era. For example I managed to single-handedly give over my laptop to a 40 year old man sitting in his mom's basement. Which is quite an accomplishment if you ask me. Now if I could I would just be like bye-bye laptop and buy a new one. But there are two problems with that - number one I do not have that much money. Number two - this 40 year old man is using me and I do not like it when people use me.

My solution to my problem is to find a smart person to fix it for me and I did. This guy is great, he started fixing it at like ten - thirty at night and then went home promising to come back with some type of software that will finishing fixing it tomorrow. I gotta tell you this guy is my knight in shinning armor.

Well not exactly, he really is my best friend's knight in shinning armor because he is her boyfriend in all. But he is totally willing to fix my laptop and I am thrilled that he is doing so. Besides while he is so focused on fixing that technology thing that my friend and I could be painting out faces blue and he would not even notice.

So now I am happy that my laptop is being fixed, my friend is happy to hang out with me (I am also happy to be hanging out with her), and my friend's boyfriend is happy to be fixing something. The only person that is not going to be happy is that 40 year old man sitting in his mom's basement.
