So I was having a good friend of mine (and fellow blogger ) over about a week ago. We were making pancakes and having a blast over nothing particularly interesting. And then she mentioned something about me being more likely to spend my time making pancakes than graduate from college- which, of course, is WRONG ( you see, she was only joking, or at least i hope she was).
But then it got me thinking.
So I compiled a list of things that the average person (namely, YOU, dear reader, is more likely to do in his/her life). It ranges from the completely obvious to the completely ridiculous....
And you know something particularly strange that connects each one of them?
They are all completely TRUE...
- You are more likely to do your laundry than walk around naked.
- You are more likely to watch your television than eat it.
- You are more likely to get an A than get a Z in your paperwork. (gee...i wonder why)
- You are more likely to brush your teeth than become fluent in 17 languages.
- you are more likely to keep a pet than have a pet keep YOU.
- You are more likely to live a happy life than die from a broken fingernail.
- You are more likely to laugh at something than 'laugh at nothing' (goddamn it!).
- You are more likely to be 'you' than anyone else.
- You are more likely to 'learn to laugh at yourself' than 'learn to stop making the same dumb-choices'
- You are more likely to feel bad when you lose a finger than feel good about it.
- You are more likely to finish first in a one- man marathon than finish 13th.
- You are more likely to have a perfect attendance on earth while you're alive than have a perfect attendance at school/work.
- You are more likely to eat than be eaten.
- You are more likely to have a conversation with a stranger than have a baboon for breakfast.
- You are more likely to have said baboon for breakfast than elope with said baboon.
- You are more likely to have a friend than have a hedgehog.
- You are more likely to suck at 'not existing' than excel at you job.
- You are more likely to eat a sandwich than excel at your job.
- You are more likely to fall asleep than excel at your job.
- You are more likely to feel bad about missing your beloved sibling's wedding than feel good about it.
- You are more likely to feel good about defeating the Dark Lord, Evilonie, from taking over Kansas with your magic wand of wonder than feel bad about it.
- You are more likely to be secretly pleased with the unexpected 'tragedy' of the mass-destruction of all things 'Telemarketing' than feel terrible about it.
- You are more likely to 'try something new' and regret it.
- You are more likely to keep information on the whereabouts of recently-missing 'Barnie, the dinosaur', than tell any one about it.
- You are more likely to fall in love with a guy because of his career than fall in love with him because of the colour of his earwax.
- You are more likely to save the world than save a Sasquatch.
- You are more likely to have a good hair day than find 'The One'.
- You are more likely to die happily than die a Viking.
- You are more likely to die terribly than die a Viking.
- You are more likely to be good with kids than be good with maniacs (good job, mothers!).
- You are more likely to be 'The Worlds Richest Tycoon' than be 'The World's Richest Hermit Crab'.
- You are more likely to spend your lifetime following this blog than actually doing something productive.
- You are more likely to know somebody than to excel at your job.
Actually, not really- i just hope i was able to entertain you for a few minutes.
So to end this post, I say:
'Many wise words are spoken in jest, but they don’t compare with the number of stupid words spoken in earnest.'

(P.S. No.32 wasn't that ridiculous, was it? ) ;)
