Why do people assume things they don't need to? What I mean is that, How come, we as Human beings have this desire to know what the other person is thinking and what they've been up to, and when that person doesn't tell you, you come up with a reason (usually untrue) and tell eveyone what you came up with, and tell them it's true. Why can't we just be happy with the explaination the person with the problem gives us. Maybe they don't even have a problem. But yet, if the (let's call it the) problem person, gives and explaination but if we don't agree with it, we have to come up for another reason the person is acting that way. Normally, a person is capable of solving their problems without us, as much as we hate to hear that. The worst conflicts are best solved by the indivdual person. So next time you see a person with a "problem" don't try to solve it for them, but just wait patiently, and when their ready to tell you, they will.

So there I was, peacefully sitting there, eating pringles, minding my own business when it dawned on me. Why do the food companies advertise what's not there. Great - I've just ruined my lunch (thanks alot mr. rich) now I can't just enjoy the pringles - I have to analyize them! What made this joyous thougt pop into my head (yes, just like that, it made a little "Pop!" like Orville Redenbacher's Gormet Poping Corn with Movie Theater Butter makes in the microwave), was the "0 grams of trans fat!" on the geometic container. This caught me as odd - because why do they advertise something they don't have. Why don't they tell us what were going to eat - instead of what we're not going to eat. I mean, hullo! they might as well tell us "No elephant in this 3" by 12" container". It just doesn't make sense. Now, I can understand them advertising what is in the box, like "80% whole grains", instead of "20% non-whole grains". So why do they do this? Now, at first, I thought, well, mabye it's just the pringle company getting weird, so I checked out some other items in my pantry, and found that Great Value (tm) (this is the sad part - even the grocery store companies are doing it) had on their Lemon Gelatin Dessert box "0g trans fat per serving" and I 'm thinking "great, I was just dying to know what I'm not going to eat! thanks for telling me so that now I'm an informed eater of something that is not in the box!". And then, On my Progresso soup can it read, "99% Fat Free" oh joy! why not just say that "1% is not fat free". But I guess this is the same reason stores say items are $3.99 intead of $4.00 although 1/100 of a difference in reality, in your head - there's a big difference. They know how our human brains work- and they know how to get the best of us. They know how to lure us with what sounds the best... why "0 grams of trans fat" sounds so good and sells so much to some people, I don't know... but to me it shows that their product is so good, they've run out of things to advertise, and now have to advertise what's not there.
Poetry.
What makes poetry so awesome?
The answer - a poem.
Poetry the unpretentious form,
No matter how sad and forlorn,
May strike deep within the heart of love,
And bring peace flowing like a dove.
And at the same time,
Poetry may rhyme.
Never judging,
Just expressing,
Feelings divine.

The differences in guys and girls... and the way they act.
Why is it (this is in the majority of cases) that if guys are mad at each other, they will bluntly tell the other person physically or occasionally verbally, while girls on the otherhand, will scoot around and maliciously spread rumors and verbally abuse the other person. Personally, I prefer the guys method. If guys are mad, they will bluntly tell you, while girls usually have 2 faced personalities and pretend to be nice, and then go spread vicious rumors. I've decided that if you want friends, you better invest in guys - because many friends that are girls are just waiting for a chance to slam you down. Now, I'm not saying that every girl is a malicious and ferocious beast, I've known girls that aren't. But plenty are. They seem to make up for the few that aren't that way. The worst is when girls are nice to you on the outside, even kind, pretending to be your best friend, and then go tell all your secrets to the guy you like, or other girls. This has happened to me time and time again. First in 2nd grade, thenin 5th grade, then in 10th grade, and now (these are the big ones, little "fights" happen everyday). If it was just me, I don't think I would care so much, but because it happens time and time again to millions of girls, you have to ask, what causes the difference in guys and girls? Why do girls use this tactic? Is it a hormone, is it instinct? Well, as soon as you find out, let me know... I'll be ready and waiting.
