The Plan

I'm not sure which question peaks my curiosity more ... when I will die, or how?

As far as WHEN is concerned, I think not knowing keeps you from speeding it up even further. Or perhaps it gives you a chance to simply live a full life, without unnecessary fear and anxiety. I always found it interesting how when a person leaves this earth at a certain age, that's the age you remember them at. Elvis died at 42. I'll be 42 this september. Most of us remember Elvis for his incredible persona and beautiful voice, yet I can also tell you exactly what he looked like when he passed. I can also tell you where I was when I got the news from my mom (playing football in the front yard of Chris's house, 4 doors down from my home), and that I immediately walked home crying without even saying goodbye to my friends. I've often also wondered if when you get to heaven, they will still be that same age when you see them again. Surely they won't be any younger. And if they continued to age, someone like George Washington is gonna look horrible. Not sure I'd even recognize him. But that too is also an interesting thought ... will you recognize people you know here on earth when you get to heaven? Will you still have the same thoughts and feelings about each particular person? Will you be happy or upset to see them again? And finally, will you feel the need to apologize for anything to them? Even deeper ... perhaps one decision you made in your life led to the way, reason, and/or time they died. I believe the old question still applies ... why am I here?

As far as HOW is concerned, I honestly don't think I'd want to know unless it was painless. There are just too many options where that's concerned. And knowing might give you an unbearable phobia. What if you found out you were gonna drown. You might never brush your teeth again. Baths and showers could become a thing of the past, leaving your social life non-existent.  You might drink in small sips. You'd never cross a bridge. Never ski or swim again. And since people have a need to share important facts about their life, you would surely find out how others were going to pass. Now you'd feel a responsibility to protect those close to you, at the very least. Would we become a much gentler, kinder society or even world? Even if you absolutely despised someone, would you want to do them harm if you knew you weren't capable of inflicting the kind of pain they were waiting on? Maybe knowing HOW someone else will die would make you more sympathetic and allow you to forgive and forget a little easier.

Next time you question your faith in a supreme being, or the fact that he/she even exists, ask yourself why we'll probably never know the answer to these kinds of questions, until the right time comes. I think the answer lies in a phrase my mom has said to me a thousand times ... "God works in mysterious ways."

Todd Justice - Riddle of the Day!

Tom and his younger sister were fighting. Their mother was tired of the fighting, and decided to punish them by making them stand on the same piece of newspaper in such a way that they couldn't touch each other. How did she accomplish this?

Guest Reeker

I stayed the night at my best friend Trey's last night. Apparently, I woke up with some horrendous breath. But I was really thirsty, so I went straight to the kitchen for a coke before brushing my teeth. I took a big swig, swallowed, and then turned around and let out a HUGE belch about the time Ashley, Trey's girlfriend, walked by. She couldn't let it go, "OH MY GOD, that smells terrible ... it's like air vomit!"

Inquiring Minds Wanna Know

This one is for the ladies ...

     I was using a fun new application the other day, on a different social networking site, when I realized something. As I browsed what was quite possibly a hundred profiles I noticed that a large number of female profile pics actually have two girls standing there, doing whatever. Let me also add this was basically a dating application. Then it occured to me that I had no idea which girl's profile I was looking at. And I had ABSOLUTELY no desire to click further to find out. I simply moved on to the next profile (pic). EVERY GUY WILL DO THIS. That's called a short attention span and we all have one now thanks to television. Men will click on a large number of girls profiles quickly, and the pic is basically your initial audition. Not a popular fact I know, but it is what it is. I've even seen pics of flowers, hearts, a dog ... what on Gods' green earth is the rationale behind that? You've got MAYBE a full second to capture a guys attention. And don't feed me the line about "that's not why I'm on this site". Then why have the application on your profile, why list yourself as single, why wear next to nothing in pics posted, etc. etc. etc. It's to be noticed, pure and simple. And that's perfectly ok ... so don't shoot yourself in the foot by confusing us. We are simple, us men. We don't want to know about your friend yet. That's why we are looking at your profile pic ... to find out about YOU!

Let the comments begin …

Todd Justice - Riddle of the Day!

I can be quick and then I'm deadly,
I am a rock, shell and bone medley.
If I was made into a man, I'd make people dream,
I gather in my millions by ocean, sea and stream.

What am I?

blog change: The New LEAGUE OF IDIOTS

In case y'all didn't notice, I have changed the title of my "Nation of Idiots" post series to the Todd Justice "LEAGUE OF IDIOTS". I realized very quickly that calling it a "Nation" made it sound as if idiots only reside in the United States. Not true. So, I have edited the title in the first few stories. Now I'll be able to post not only personal stories, but I can also pull news stories from around the world and comment. And if you'd like to join the LEAGUE OF IDIOTS, be sure to subscribe to this blog and feel free to send me your own stories, comments, and observations about stupid, ridiculous, and/or absurd things in your own life (or even someone elses!) that you'd like to see written about!
