RANDOM THOUGHTS THIS RANDOM FRIDAY. AND FOR DARN SAKES, COMMENT ALREADY!

Okay, so I've been thinking. Are you all aware that the point to blogging is more than just posting random crap? (yes, there is a point to blogging you smart-alecs). The point is, unlike normal websites, blogs have a fun little thing at the bottom of each post, titled Comments. Yes, this is the fun of blogging. You can throw things out there to the world via your blog, then all your readers can comment and tell you if you suck, or you are right on the mark. Or whatever. The point is people, not just to read, but to participate. Really, it's what makes blogging fun. And since I'm vain, and nosy and have a blog counter I know just exactly how many of you naptime readers there are out there. And I also have a brain, and can see that each of my posts averages zero comments. And you see, that is sad. Because the point of blogging, besides airing your dirty laundry, and embarrassing you loved ones, is to have a conversation. With your readers. About your posts. About life. Its about connecting. I share, you share, we all share. Isn't that a Barney song? Well, it's also my new blog motto.


So, I got to thinking, maybe you people just don't know how to comment. So, here is your commenting tutorial. Ready?


Okay, so say I post something that you hate. Or like. Or just think is the most ridiculous thing you've ever heard. So you want to tell me, and the world so. What you do, is take your mouse, and hover the arrow over the comment link. Yep. Then, click. A little box will then come up allowing for you a place to type your comment. Then, type your comment. Okay, now here is where it gets tricky. After you've said your peace, you can either post through your google/blogger account, or if you don't have one, you can click on the anonymous circle, and then you can comment anonymously. Even if you don't have your own blog. And I am totally okay with that. As long as you comment. You see, I'm starting to think I'm failing at this whole blogging thing. Because no one comments. And I'd rather have mean, anonymous comments than none at all. And really if you click the anonymous option you really will be. I will have no idea who posted it. Ever. But, if you want me to sleep well at night, you could still click on the anonymous circle, and then, at the end of your message, sign your name. Yes, that would be really nice. Lovely even. The point people? Comment.


And because I've never really liked hypocrites, I will try to comment more on your blogs too. Fair? Fair. And, if you are a blog stalker, awesome. I would still love to hear from you. Anonymously even.


Okay, so to encourage your comments, I thought I'd discuss a few of my recent random thoughts. You might also have this same thought. That might be something to comment about. Or you might think I need to go jump in a lake and drown. This is also a thought, and could become a comment as well. Okay, so here goes nothing.




1. This is something I learned from my daily gossip blog today. Okay, now don't go judging me. Gossip blogs are wholesome and also faith-promoting. Cause each time I read them, I feel as though I then immediately need to go and read my scriptures. See. Faith promoting. Okay, so apparently, and again, my source is very iffy, but this screencap below was an actual question on Jeopardy! last night.
and I think the "duh" just adds a little something, don't you think? And after seeing this question I'm wondering why I'm sticking around my current job. I so need to be on Jeopardy!



2. Is anyone else excited to see this movie? Okay, really, not me either. Cause I'd rather stick my fingers in a blender than see a comic book action movie, but apparently this little film is expected to gross 160 million it's opening weekend! That is just crazy. Apparently I need to start reading comic books, and the make a movie about them. And then retire fat, happy, and rich.

3. Is anyone else impressed with the amount of bling that Mary is able to pull together in one outfit on SYTYCD? I swear, she just gets gaudier, and gaudier with each episode. The sparkly shirt, all the shiny jewelry, the fake lashes with glitter on them. I swear, it seems like she has the same wardrobe lady as the Vegas showgirls. All she is missing is the feathers.

4. I do not have a picture to go along with this random thought, but it's in my head, so there. Okay, so what is with Celebs naming their kids the craziest things ever? First, well, first there was Apple, and then Cocoa. And the J.Lo named her kids Max and Emme after the Dragontale kids, and then Halle gave props to Walt and named her baby Nahla Ariel, and now it's Nicole Kidman naming her baby Sunday Rose. Now this seems harmless enough but all I can think of anytime I hear that name is Sunday Roast. I know, I am retarded.

5. I heard John McCain was born in Panama, and therefore not a U.S. Citizen. I didn't really think much else, cause I doubt it is true. But I thought about it for like two seconds, so it made my random list.

6. Okay, so apparently the 4th sequel to the Twilight series is coming out the first weekend in August. And I know this is very Mormon of me, but I am excited as heck! I would be ecstatic, except she went to BYU, so I'm only excited. Go Utes! Oh, and is anyone else reading her other novel? The Host? I'm in the middle of it, and it is interesting. I haven't really decided what I think about it yet, cause it is so strange and different, but really that girl has the gift for writing love stories. Really impressive for someone who went to the Y.

7. Does anyone know where I can get these glasses. I have the perfect outfit, and they would be the cherry on my little ensemble sundae. Let me know.

8. Big Brother starts Sunday. And I almost, almost, feel trashy even mentioning it, since last season was so disgusting that after every episode I had to go see my bishop. But that Julie Chen. Just something about her. Makes me want to watch people do ridiculous things for money. And really, lets be honest the only other good things on TV are both on Wednesday night (see previous post), so that means I need to fill Tuesday, Thursday and Sunday. And Big Brother does that for me. Fills me up. Let's hope they did better casting this season. Or else I might have to boycott this again.

9. Okay, so I might have a small girl-crush on Cat Deeley. All that beautiful hair, and those long legs, and the accent. Swoon!

10. I know there is allot of SYTYCD on here today, but these are my random thoughts people, not yours. Chelsie. Love her. My favorite on the show. I mean, lets be honest, there are a ton of other awesome dancers. Will, Twitch, Gev. But Chels. Just. so. good.

11. And eggs. I was thinking today that they really are incredible. And edible. Cheap too. And yummy pretty much any way but raw. Fried, boiled, scrambled, and my personal fave; over-easy.

Okay so these are my thoughts, this fine Friday. I hope somewhere along the way I have offended you. Or impressed you (not likely) or made you feel pity for me (very likely). So let me know. Comment. And lets discuss the sadness that is my life and my thoughts. Cause really, if you didn't think anything about this post at all, then I'm not sure you're human or American. So comment. Please?
