I believe boredom can lead someone to come up with something as ridiculous as a pet word. Or is this just something that minds demanding continuous thought derive for times where we have to be idle?
I have a pet word. Yogurt. I just like saying yogurt. That second syllable always gets to me. You'd have to look like Mr. Ed with your upper lip arched and your teeth out to say that 'gur' in 'yogurt'. Really, your face has to go through at least three ..um.. faces (phases?) if you shout it out loud. I'm currently doing that to prove my point as I type.
Try it. It's a lotta fun.
Did you? Thanks.
Anyway, I'm not the only one with a pet word. I have a good friend who isn't over saying 'Charmander' - you know, one of those cutesy seizure-inducing Pokemons. Watterson's Hobbes seems to have a liking for the word 'Smock' too.
Has anyone ever seriously used the word 'holistic' before? I'm frankly disturbed by that word. It sounds like something some dude would say to sound sophistimicated. You are welcome to correct me if I'm wrong.
Yeah. I knew this topic was going nowhere anyway. But seriously, yogurt. Yogurt. Yo-gur-t.
I've been keeping Hollywood Squares on the telly for three consecutive mornings as I come up with something to post. Is it me, or has Alec Baldwin been the center square for three equally consecutive episodes? The count will continue.
And what's a whisperer? I've heard of the movie, 'The Horse Whisperer' when I was a kid, and now I see Jennifer Love Hewitt (who I've had a huge crush on ever since Can't Hardly Wait, I'd like to add) starring as, 'The Ghost Whisperer'. While I'm online using my ridiculous Dial Up Connection, let me check Wikipedia.
Nothing there. I found something over at http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/whisperer
This fascinates me:
'2. a gossip, talebearer, rumor-monger, or the like. '
I'll leave you guys to imagine. Madam Auring should have been the Ghost Whisperer. How... holistic.

Going to more serious things, I'd like to continue expounding on my point yesterday, simply by saying that we wouldn't really have a choice with regards to leading or following as we live life. Wherever you go, and whatever you choose to do, there will always be someone to lead you. You may be chosen to lead, but keep in mind that you will still have to follow someone.
You may think that you have reached the very top, or you can choose to run away from all sorts of masters or representations of authority, but keep in mind that God then becomes your direct supervisor, in the office called Life where you've been in since the second the idea of your existence came to His mind. When that time comes, you will have no choice but to follow.
Reason can have you claim that it's your life. But how long will your life be compared to eternity?
