I know what you’re thinking…
“I wonder what he thinks I’m thinking.”
Eh? Ehhh?
If I was ever on a television show that had more than 20 million viewers, some time while talking I would suddenly turn towards the camera and quickly say “God bless you,” and then continue on. I’m sure to some person who had just sneezed out there, it would change their life forever.
After seeing movies like A Beautiful Mind, one must question themself deeply and consider, “Are there any of my friends who I’ve never seen anyone else talk to?”
I really hope my kids speak English. Because I see people speaking other languages all the time, and yet I still know so many English speaking parents that have English speaking kids, and I marvel at how fortunate they are. What if my kids don’t speak English? What if they speak some language I don’t understand? What then…? *sigh* ..I guess that’s why some people adopt. For that certainty of knowing what language the kid speaks. *mmm* That’s tempting.
Given his unorthodox syntax, I imagine Yoda would be very confusing to a person learning English.
Ants are always suddenly changing directions and taking random turns; by the end of their journey they have probably taken the longest possible route to get to their destination. They must use mapquest.
I wonder how many insects I have killed in my life. We must all be mass murderers.
I dreamt I ran a marathon, and woke up completely exhausted.
I wonder if you die in your sleep if you stay in the dream you were having.
And lastly, if someone goes to war on Haiti, does that make them a Hater?
Hope you enjoy your weekend. And in case you were wondering, the unbirthday party yesterday, which we celebrated by having a Mad Tea Party, was a smashing success—nearly everything was broken. Though I need to get a hat for next week so I can be the Mad Hatter. Anywho, toodle-loo.

Wow…this is enthralling…
Yoda would probably make perfect sense to most Korean English students I know, haha!
I wonder if those ants are (god bless you. no? didn’t sneeze? oh well, worth a shot) exploring or searching for food, perhaps?

That would be a coincidence if I had sneezed then indeed!
I don’t think so – I was watching the ants in Italy, and it looks more like drunken driving. They just go three centimeters – stop, turn right - go three centimeters - stop, turn slightly left - go five centimeters – and on and on.
It might make sense for Italians, too – the way their syntax works is they would say “Tohimit gave I.” (They combine the preposition, the direct object, and the indirect object all into one word.) But the main point is it would screw with how they are learning English is supposed to work.

I wonder how sharp their senses are.
“I HimTo it gave” in Korean.
*laughing in keyboard*
Although, I don’t think an Ant would ever accept mapquest should you give it. Perhaps the ant wanders because it believes the journey is more important than the destination. Should it use mapquest, it would miss out on so much scenery. How lucky they are, to be so patient as to take the longest route possible.
As for killing insects, that’s nothing! Do you realize how many microscopic organisms you’re squishing as you sit here reading this comment? It’s in the millions at least. (Of course, one could raise that question if could you truly squish something already so small?)
Hope you enjoyed your unbirthday party! Those are so much better really. Why only celebrate one day of your life when you could celebrate the other 364 too?
ROFL those were hilarious. I enjoyed it greatly.

Omg…noooo…those microscopic organisms probably had homes and families and .. oh I just can’t bear to think of it.
Exactly. We should pick certain days to be sad and then party for the rest of them.
Phil, you still update your xanga. God bless your faithfulness to this site… How’s everything going buddy?
