I was cleaning the kitchen this morning and began pondering some of the great paradoxes (paradoxii?) of life. Why is it that most things that are necessary (ie. cleaning the kitchen and other chores) have to be boring as hell? If we as humans were not interested in the end result of said boring activities, I'm convinced we would all be living in squalor, somewhat akin to those people on "Hoarders." For that matter, why does most great tasting food have to be crappy for your health? I love salads and other healthy things, but let's face it, if you put Tostitos and a thing of Frito-Lay queso dip in front of my face, the salad would lose, hands down!! SO unfair. And then let's discuss going to the gym. You know you'll feel really good afterwards due to endorphins or whatever those workout hormone thingies are called, but for some reason you just don't feel like dragging yourself to the gym! What gives? Working out is good for you, but it's still WORK (hence the name). Well, that's enough more than enough thinking for a Saturday morning. I don't want to give myself a brain aneurysm! Besides, I have more boring chores to do. :)

An Actual Deep Thought (or as deep as it gets for me)
