What in the world does that mean?
Good question. Sometimes I feel like just writing a random blog to let go of some stress. This is one of those blogs and it's probably a goofy one at that. Don't expect to see any real answers here, but also don't be surprised if I throw something at you that might make you think.
What does it mean to stick out like a sore thumb anyways? I can picture it in my mind. My thumb is like the size of a lemon except it's red and throbbing. Yikes! What did I do to it? It sticks out everywhere I go.
Nothing ventured, nothing gained.
Now this is like taking a risk. I was just talking to a friend about taking risks. She gave me a quote and I just now realized that this quote could go along with this phrase:
Your risk does not come with insurance, so of course there is a some concern about leaving yourself quite so vulnerable. However, I would say that the rewards far outweigh the risks and even though the risks will remain, you cannot experience the heights without risking the fall and you can't plunge the depths without risking drowning. So take the risks, that's where you will find the greatest thrills! When you finally learn that there's no risk that He can't turn for good, the adventure is even sweeter!
If you don't take a risk by setting out there, then you probably won't gain anything from the experience.
See? That was a sorta serious one. I've got funny and serious ones in here, so no worries. I've got something for everyone. That sounds cheesy like a salesperson or something. Yep, that's my story right there.
The early bird gets the worm.
Duh! Of course it gets the worm because it decided to get it's little butt out of the nest early enough to go get that darn worm. Sucks to be the other birds who did not get this particularly special worm. It probably glowed in the dark and everything.
As you make your bed, so you must lie in it.
I just don't understand this quote. What's the point of making your bed if you're just going to lie in it again and just mess it up? Well I make my bed every day because people can see it and who wants to see my messy bed? Ok, so maybe I don't exactly completely make it, but it looks ok. Don't judge me.
Though you know there are times when I'm making my bed and I just take a break from making it to lie there on the sheets. What? It's a difficult job putting sheets on my bed. You try putting sheets on a bunk bed. Ok, actually, the last time my bed was really made up well, my roommate volunteered to do it. Note the emphasis on "volunteered." I did not force her to make it as some may assume. She so nicely offered to do it and she didn't even short sheet my bed either. Thanks Bethany!
People who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones.
I really like this quote. It's interesting to me. And it stumps me. I have no funny jokes about this one. I really just have to ponder the meaning of it. Does it make you wonder too?
I kinda take it as we're all fragile people and when we throw stones or say hurtful things to others, then we're shattering their glass houses. The same thing could happen to us if other people say hurtful things to us. So I guess, watch what you say. You can never take it back no matter how hard you try. It's out there floating around in space somewhere.
Too many cooks spoil the broth.
Stop adding so many ingredients. Every time someone comes around, they add another ingredient. Now it just tastes like duck vomit in my socks.
Where there's a will, there's a way.
You want to do something? Do you have a desire to make it happen even though it seems impossible at the moment? Relax. If you can think it, then you can make it happen. It just takes a will.
By the way, I'd just like to say that this is probably the most common of the common phrases that I see and say, but I guess I probably don't say it as much as I did when I was a kid.
Many hands make light work.
True story. The more people who help, the less you have to do. It's as easy as that. Unfortunately I only have two hands and that's just not that many. Sad day. What if I had nine arms? That would be weird. Where would they all fit? They would go on the sides of me. Why nine and not ten? I don't know. And wouldn't I have more shoulders?
A friend in need is a friend indeed.
It's true that God puts people into our lives for a reason. I think this is a cool saying. We all need something and our friends have the ability to take care of that need. Ok, so maybe I'm saying the opposite of this phrase. If you know someone who is in need of something, and you can help them, then you should because that's what God calls us to do. We should love others because that's the second greatest commandment and I really think that's something Jesus would do. You know, WWJD? Yeah, that's right.
You can lead a horse to water, but you can't make him drink.
Yeah just because you got the horse there doesn't mean that it's gonna want to take a drink. What if you lead your horse to poisonous water because you wanted your horse to die? And then the horse knew exactly what you were planning, so it refused to drink. Yeah, you can't make that horse drink your nasty pasty poison water. Way to be smart about it. Don't you know that horses are telepathetic? Geez.
When the cat's away, the mice will play!
Yeah, and get into everything. Hey furball feline, get your shaved little butt back there and get those mice before they get us! I might get eaten by a moose tonight. If I die tonight...
Ok, I think that's enough for tonight, but watch out because I have more random comments to common phrases up my sleeve.
Up my sleeve? What if I'm wearing a tanktop right now? That's a sleeveless shirt right there. But you're not. You're wearing a t-shirt. Shh, don't tell the others that. Now they know that I really do have sleeves.
Huh. I don't get it. I looked up my sleeve and all I saw was my arm.
If you're not laughing out loud at me right now, gee, I hope you're "laughing" on the inside. Yeah, I think that's the case most of the time. Why do I even say stupid stuff? Clearly it's not that funny anyways, so what's the point?
There is no point. I am like an unsharpened pencil. I'm a flat head, not a conehead. Hey, have you ever seen Coneheads? That's such a funny movie. But I mean coneheads don't have particularly pointy heads either. They have cone shaped heads. That's no point.
Ok, fine, I'm dull. I get it. Thanks for pointing out the obvious. Hey, pointing and staring is RUDE!
That's my story and I'm sticking to it.
Sticking to it with tape? Or do you prefer glue?
Oh geez, when will it ever end?
Never because this is the never-ending story of my life.
You have a life?
Yes, but I'm slowly losing it because this blog just keeps going on and on.
Is it that or your sanity?
Sanity. Good point. You know what the word "sanity" reminds me of? Sanitation or sanitary. So does sanity mean clean and insanity is unclean? I'm just saying.
Yeah, you just keep saying. Meanwhile, I'll just quit writing this blog because I'm pretty sure I lost everyone ages ago before you started arguing with me.
Fine! I see how it is. And don't come back ever again! I'm gonna go cry in a corner of that ditch where your 9th life died a few minutes ago.
What do I look like, a cat? I don't have 9 lives.
That wasn't you? Oh, I thought that thing was quite hairy and had these very long whiskers.
Yeah, no, I'm not a cat. However, I am a cougar. An SAU cougar or at least that's the mascot at school. I am not that other type of cougar like the TV show in case anybody was wondering. That would just be quite odd. Let's not go there.
Meow.
Cougars don't go meow. They go moo.
That's what a cow does actually.
It smelled like cows today when I left the building.
I milked a cat once.
What does that have to do with anything?
Well we were talking about cougars and cows, so I just thought it fit.
Ok I'm leaving now because this conversation has gotten wildly out of control.
You wouldn't care to stay for a spot of tea?
No.
Oh fine be a party pooper then. I'll just go party it up with the poopy smelling bear that got stuck in the fish bowl.
Sounds like a real party there. It's like Spongebob Squarepants.
I don't see the connection.
Good. I'm leaving.
Farewell until next time...if there is a next time since I already banished you.
I'll be back! I said that like Arnold what's his face. I'm too lazy to go look up how to spell his monster of a last name. You know that guy in California? That actor and isn't he like the governor of California or something?
Yeah. Something like that.
Like I said. I'LL BE BACK!
