Pondering 5

As you should be aware, since this is the 5th one. I often get random thoughts that I ponder every now and then. My brain seems to not like being quiet, so here are a few more thoughts to think about if you’re bored…

Was Neverland, just America or Canada?

Ok, second star to the right isn’t exactly very precise directions when finding a place. Also, they are kids, so I kind of think they were facing south and when going towards the random second star… on the right, well from England, so did they just end up on a east coast island of America or Canada?

There were Indians in Neverland and lets face it, the only magical thing in Neverland was Tinkerbell and mermaids… the rest is perfectly logical. Pirates are actually pretty common and native tribes as well. My theory is that it was Southampton Island in Canada?

That means the Tiger Lillies tribe was actually the Sallirmiut tribe? But, the problem with this theory, even though the shapes of the islands are very similar, unfortunately it is too cold in Canada for crocodiles, which makes me question is they actually went further south to the Caribbean islands. Anyway, always good to think about.

Is Milk Really Healthy?

Answer two questions…

1. How much butter do you on average use per week?

2. How much milk do you drink per week?

Why is this relevant? Alright, butter is a concentrated form of milk, which turns it from liquid to solid. Yes, you use more of it to make butter, but you are essentially still drinking the same amount of butter when you drink the amount it takes to make the butter. Ones just a liquid and the other is solid. So, an average 250g butter would be around a litre of milk to make it. An average glass is around 250ml so four glasses of milk and you’ve just had a 250g butter block, which if you’re like me, you only use a tiny bit in the fry pan maybe once or twice a month to prevent food from sticking. Whereas if you drink two glasses of milk per day, every week you are basically having almost a kg of butter!

Coffee Thoughts

I love coffee, it is one of my favourite things. I love waking up and getting my mug of coffee all ready and waiting the few minutes before you drink it… then a couple of gulps of the glorious coffee and it is gone and you have to repeat the process… I find the second to twentieth time you repeat the process it stops being as special. So, new thought, why can’t I drink coffee the same way people have soup. Bowls can hold more liquid, they keep the temperature more even (yes, especially when reheating because you get distracted). The mug handle may be missed at first, but it will be good in winter to warm up my hands.

Ok you’ve convinced me, I’m going to drink my coffee from a pasta bowl tomorrow.

P.S. Tried it, and it was a bad idea. Dropped it on my lap, broke the bowl, burnt my legs and feet, wasted around three cups of coffee. Might just buy a bigger mug, don’t really know why that wasn’t my first impulse?

Darkness

Why do we consider darkness as bad when it actually means the opposite? The question about darkness being bad and light being good remains, as the darkness represents peace and the light represents life. The end result will always mean we strive for peace but only accept it when we consider the lack of light to mean stillness. Lack of action and reaction, which means nothing and leads to nothing. The lack of results or needs will result in peace, but we fight against it, because we are unable to accept the peace offered. Therefore, consider the darkness as bad, when it should be considered as rest, relief and peace. Think only when you fear peace, then the darkness is a bad place to be.

Ties?

Ok as a woman, do guys secretly wish they had more option in their wardrobes? I mean really, when we look at the odd things they do to make statements… well maybe we should just accept that they might want to wear our skirts without judgement lol? Ties which were very popular and a very common gift of the 90’s tell a tale of men wanting more variety in their wardrobe? Drab, black, navy or brown suits with a popper tie… We see creative belt buckles and socks… dudes, seriously lets start making you more fun tops and shirts! It is not hard! Pick a material and people can fucking make it. You do not need to conform idiots. Fashion is diverse, daring and fun. No one has put you in the box except yourselves. Obviously check with your mum, girlfriend, wife, gay best friend, because there is a difference between fashion and insanity… so they tell me.

Mob Rule vs Democracy

Both are the same, don’t lie to yourself. It is why the idiots win. Don’t say, your vote matters or you have rights, ya don’t. We all are going with the loudest voice. So sad, but true. You know the worst part is that it doesn’t matter. Either way you are left with the same option. They don’t actually do anything to improve the system or help. They just nod and say it differently. Politicians are panders that convince susceptible people to believe them. It’s been true for centuries and sometimes when the mob follows the death driven war lord… or orange skinned sadist, maybe it is no longer democracy and you’ve joined in with the mob. Also on a side note… panda bears are adorable.

Pimple vs Piercing

Piercing your ears doesn’t hurt, yet you get a tiny pimple and suddenly every nerve hurts like a son of a b%&^*. This makes no sense! It is the exact same area. Wtf nerve endings what happened, suddenly???

Doctors and Tablets

You must wonder that why through all your years of going to the doctor, that they tend to push numerous pills at you for every complaint e.g.

“My toe hurts.”

“Yep, that most likely is caused by low calcium and a definite thyroid problem, so I’m going to ask you to take these seven tablets per day and you’ll need to come back to see about the results every couple of weeks.”

“I think it might just be an ingrown nail.”

“I’ll let you know in a few weeks when we get the blood and urine tested.”

They decided depression was the main cause of everything a few years back. They started prescribing depression tablets to every person they saw.

“What’s wrong with my kid.”

“Depressed.”

“What? I thought she had a cold.”

“Often presents like that but pretty sure she’s depressed, all the signs are there. Low energy, sleeping a lot, not caring about her personal appearance.”

They also decide every single person above a certain age has high blood pressure. Unfortunately, the day they decided to get the ‘normal’ blood pressure was when a marathon runner came in and it messed it up for the rest of us. Sorry, my eight hour a day job does not give me the time to run all day. I do my part and stretch every couple of hours like the sign on my computer tells me to. I still would love to know why they keep telling people that they need the average blood pressure… do they not know that if everyone is taking tablets then the average has shifted to a different level?

I keep getting a doctor who looks at me through suspicious eyes and checks the chart then says, “Oh, you’re that age, ok we’re going to need to check this as you might have high blood pressure soon.” I feel like this is a threat, are they just going to decide one day when I show up late for an appointment. “Yep, now she has high blood pressure!”?

Now, these doctors don’t get paid for prescribing these pills, yet they give them to anyone who sneezes. This made me ponder about who benefited from these pill happy doctors? The pharmaceutical companies surely. But how do they convince these educated doctors to make millions buy their often not needed pills?

I only have two theories so far, the first being that doctors might not need convincing and they stupidly got high on other pills and decided to try make a human maraca.

The second one is pharmaceutical companies have started a world-wide myth that only Doctors know:

The pharmaceutical companies secretly have developed 1 tablet to make a humans skin turn blue, forever.

This could be any drug at any time that has been prescribed. You could write a prescription tomorrow and suddenly you’ll get a call from a scared patient.

This is why Doctors always enter the waiting room looking so hopeful as they scan the people sitting in it, they are looking for the blue skinned patient. You see their face drop as they call your name and see you aren’t blue.

Now the blue isn’t enough, they say if you prescribe the blue skin tablet, you will also win a free IPAD. I know this doesn’t seem a very enticing gift, but Doctors are poor as their education costs more than most small islands.

They are really trying to find this blue person. Why do you think there were so many attendees at the Blue Man Group? All Doctors excitedly went to check it out and came away disappointed when they found out it was paint!

An Odd Theory about Life (Haha you can’t prove me wrong)

Ok, we can believe there are numerous parallel universes and in some, yes only some, you exist. Now most of those will have you in them. So, let’s say there are over 1000 versions of you in these parallel universes. They all are born, live however long they survive and then die. What happens to all that energy?

My theory is it keeps adding to each other. So, each time one of your versions die, it adds together, until you’re all finally dead and it causes a shockwave, which in turn creates a sun, which creates a new universe. 10 billion years later that sun dies out and the energy splits into tiny pieces and becomes a new life in someone else’s universe and the sun that has disintegrated becomes the cloud of dust and gas, which will become part of another sun.

So long and short of it, we’re all universes constantly regenerating throughout time and space. We keep living ordinary lives, dying, becoming a sun, disintegrating and then going through it all again. Ever ponder why so many galaxies exist?

Next time someone calls you unimportant, just say “Screw you, I’m a universe!”
