The Oddity of Auto-Pilot
Since the advent of the cell phone apendage (not the Zack Morris phone, but the phone you panic over if you leave the house without it), we can now "multi-task." The truth is, we really can't fully focus on driving when we're busy catching up on the week's gossip - that's when auto-pilot kicks in. By the time you've gotten to Wednesday on the phone, you've gone 6 miles and have no idea how you got there. Now I suppose, this is all relatively safe - unless of course your auto-pilot is set for a place different than where you were intending to go. How much time is lost because we've gone the wrong way on auto-pilot? "None, really!" We reason, because, after all, we were mutli-tasking! Thank goodness for cell phones - for we'd never get anything done without them!

Welcome to pure randomness!
If you've somehow stumbled upon my blog - welcome and let me also caution you that you've just stepped into a world where randomness has the freedom to run its unrestricted course!
Needing an outlet for my surpressed creativity, and just enjoying an opportunity to join the community of bloggerites, I have finally taken the plunge! If you decide to stick with me, I can assure you laughing will occur as I believe life is too short to be taken seriously. I hope you will leave some comments once in a while! Enjoy!
Today's randomness:
I wonder if toilet paper was the thing people compared sliced bread to. Did the cliche of "this is the best thing since sliced bread" replace "this is the best thing since toilet paper!"? Or perhaps even, "this is the best thing since perforated toilet paper!" Who's idea was it anyway to perforate toilet paper - they rarely tear on those little dotted lines anyway, except maybe for the OCD among us! Perhaps it was an OCD person who created perforated toilet paper so their toilet paper could look perfect and in order. It's funny the things we take for granted, like perforated toilet paper (and paper towels, too!). I remember when I was getting ready to move out, my dad wanted to make sure I'd learned to budget for everything. So he often reminded me "toilet paper costs money, too, you know!" Really? I was hoping it grew in the garden next to the money tree! I love my dad - he has taught me some of life's deepest wonders - like that it is not looked highly upon when one steals toilet paper. The moral of this lesson - if you are going to TP someone's house, please oh please have the decency to buy the toilet paper! And besides, those perforated lines make it much harder to get out of trees in one piece!
