If life were like the musicals

How different would life be if it were a musical.  I mean haven't you noticed how life is always so serious and how could you be that serious if you where singing and dancing all the time.  It would be great to just be able to walk down the street and burst into song as well, well I guess you could now but your would be faced with some pretty serious looks and heckling from others. Honestly though having watch so many older movies where they burst into song it would honestly seem out of place if you went back in time and they didn't do it.  On  that topic what kind of musical would your life be.  If only....

Why not at Shopping Centers?

Today as I was shopping for some fruit and snacks for my pregnant wife I found myself struck with a thought.  This thought came to me after almost being hit by another persons cart and then moments later almost hitting someone with my own cart.  Why haven't they come up with traffic laws for you to obey while driving at your local Super Center? I mean can't you see it; little lights above the lanes in the shopping center that tells you when you can go and when you can't at the intersections between the different sections. Living in the bureaucratic world I am surprised they haven't done it already.  It would be great not to have to dance the you go, no I'll go, no you go dance in the supermarket because their would already be rules telling us when to go ourselves.  Having spent time overseas in places like China I can tell you though this thought may sound silly, its not so silly if  you have been caught in the Grey-hair section at a Chinese super-market.  In all seriousness for many reasons it wouldn't work but with how much time  I have spent in supermarkets lately its got me wondering if it would be such a bad thing.

Good things that can remind you of Bad smelling things.

This morning as I was preparing to write my blog there was some chips with french onion dip left over from last night sitting on my computer desk.  Though you may find yourself asking what kind of slob leaves his food sitting out over night, let alone in his study? Regrettably I am not the focus of this topi; however the smell emanating from those chips is.  I find myself smelling my armpits over and over because the French Onion dip smells remarkably like nasty B.O.. Which got me thinking its about time we make a list of things that we smell in everyday life that if smelled in one context is a good thing, in another a bad thing.

  1. Deviled Eggs (or eggs in general): Have you ever noticed that eggs smell more like something that eeked out of someones rear end? If you smell it in the kitchen it is fine, however in the bedroom or living room you are trying to figure out who floated an Air Biscuit. 
  2. Chips and Salsa/Dip: Maybe its just the saltiness or maybe its the slightly fermented smell but doesn't it smell like you have wondered into the locker-room of your local gym?
  3. Ham (let me apologize beforehand because this is a personal one): I once had the opportunity of going to a cadaver lab and I hate to break it to you those dead bodies their smelled just like a Christmas Ham, which is why I cannot bring myself to eat it anymore without wanting to blow chunks, anywho..
  4. Chili: Some brands of Chili like the ones my wife uses smell remarkably like Dog poop.  I remember once my wife was cooking chili downstairs and I was upstairs ready to beat my dog while on the hunt to find where to dog pooped in the house.
  5. Stale Bread: Grandmas house need I say more.
This is just a short list of a few of the things I could come up with, feel free to add your own and I look forward to hearing from you!
