The "What's on your mind?" thread

[Mike16]

Why do my days off go by so fast but work days drag on? I thought time was supposed to fly when you're staying busy?

Who knows if I'll even live to see that money again, but my work does a 100% match up to 5%, so I guess it's worth it.

I'm watching a Blu-ray and all of a sudden I get a "Bluetooth pairing request" screen on my TV with a password. Happened twice before in the past year. Are my neighbors trying to hijack my wifi or something? I don't own any bluetooth devices. It's annoying because the message popped up 4 times. I had to turn the TV off for a few minutes to get it to stop. What is this?

If rappers stop killing themselves and all that shit it would be worthy news. No wonder we have a violence problem in America it seems a whole genre is dedicated to it. but I digress.

^Take away Eminem discovering him and the ONLY reason we've even heard of 50 Cent is because he got shot 9 times.
Like Jay-Z said, "I'm about a dollar, what the **** is 50 Cents?"

And if Phish toured with German punk band Smelling Dildos, the tour would be called Phish Smelling Dildos

I see the same people at work always on the phone - it's like they need to spend every waking breath or free moment talking to someone - anyone. It's sad, really. Maybe it's a new kind of disease.

oh trust me, that's nothing new.

my dad used to complain about people he'd see every day, the same people, that would start dialing as soon as they were walking out of the building. he said it was like they couldn't bare to be alone or not talking to someone or have their phone stuck to the side of their head. and these were people that were on the phone all day at work, too.

and i do think that some people feel this need to be talking to someone every waking moment; and it's usually on the phone. i just can't fathom feeling that way. there are times where i just don't want to talk to anyone; whether it's on the phone or in person. but i guess some people just can't stand to be alone or not in communication with another person.

It's an addiction and needs to be treated as such. I am literally the only person in my building that isn't reaching for their phone all day and am oddly enough /s the only person not making mistakes every day. I get it out at break and at lunch. I see a lot of them simply unlocking their phones. There's no alert and they know there's no reason to interact with it. But that tiny endorphin rush of interacting with the sparklies is enough. It's sad and pathetic.

One of the new hires said to me "I couldn't bear being disconnected from the outside world for so long."

The bigger question is WHO THE FRAP ARE THESE PEOPLE TALKING TO ALL DAY LONG? I don't get it. There's nobody in my life that I need to (or care to) talk to all day long. I see it on the way to work early in the morning, it's unreal.

It's gotta be people who are just cruising through life living on someone else's dime. Otherwise, who has time (or the desire) to be yapping on a phone nonstop? The person who initiated the phone call is probably the one with a problem but does the recipient of the call have time to listen endlessly? And what do they talk about? Personally, I get bored within 5 minutes.

If you mean actually talking, I can't relate. I never call people. If you mean texting, I definitely can relate. I text all day long. Text my mom, dad, grandma, friends, girlfriend, etc. A few of my friends moved away and we barely have a chance to get together anymore so we have a group chat together and we probably use it every day just to talk about whatever.

Same and if you're talking to someone that long, would you get caught up shortly thereafter? haha

I'm definitely talking about talking, not texting.

What’s on my mind? Amazon sucks. That is all.

While I didn't literally laugh out loud while reading Scarface's picture, I always find it humorous when people post something simple and then say that is all.

I'd love to buy all three pairs of these shoes but that wouldn't be the best idea so if I had to pick just one...

I 'd pick the lower right one since I like that color scheme more but then again I've had to stop wearing nikes because I can never find my size.

Those are actually womens shoes lol I've never worn womens shoes but I'd rock some with no shame I wear a 10.5 and I've heard if you do go with womens shoes, to get a size larger so I'd get an 11.5. What size do you wear?
Regarding the three shoes, I like the design of the top pair although I do wish there were more splashes of white and I like the black and red lining on the one pair while I really like the gold swoosh on the other pair. This is the rest of my shoe wishlist now but ultimately, I won't even get a quarter of the pairs on it.
