I sometimes wish things could be described just as they are, not with this odd relational database we’ve concocted.

Just to be safe how about always assume I don’t want to meet your dog.
Curious about all the pictures I see everyone taking, at some point after we have 20 photos of everything in the entire world, should we consider simply looking at the parade or remembering the sunset?
Another cliche that seems to have permeated all things media, seems to mean regardless of what you think or want “X” is the truth.
I remember when a drunken party thrown by your neighbors would illicit annoyance and a tiny bit of envy. Last nights sound track of a drum machine and an adolescent talking over it may have finally put my envy to bed. Something about Trochaic meter puts me to sleep.
“Be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a hard battle”
I hear this phrase quite often, usually in the context of an athlete.
“He has all the intangibles”
Intangible:
1. Incapable of being perceived by the senses.
2. Incapable of being realized or defined.
3. Incorporeal.
I really don’t think the phrase means what they think it does.
Anyone have a clue where the phrase “threw him under the bus” derives from? It apparently means to reveal information about a friend for personal gain, usually the friend does not deserve the treatment.
If I understand cliches I believe the original statement has to have actually meant something and quite possibly be a valid insight. Then through overuse it loses its original firm meaning.
So I ask, who exactly was thrown under the first bus and why?
I almost did a lot of things today, right now a vacuum is sitting five feet a way from me, all plugged in ready to go. It has the potential to vacuum, I however do not plan on using it, and I do plan on telling my wife I almost did.
Saying I almost did it is very different than saying no I did not vacuum, hopefully she will think maybe I received a phone call or had some more important business to attend to.
Sometimes I think the people I meet are very stupid, however I find it very difficult to be sure, they seem to be able to hide it really well, they seem to sneak it out only on special occasions. To be certain I think I would need to go to their house with a scientist and observe them in their natural environment.
