Obsolete Observations

My life sometimes presents me with days that are less than exciting. It is on these days when I think of things about which I should blog. Unfortunately, some of my thoughts are not meaty enough to develop into a blog post. "Why not post it on Facebook?" you ask. Well, as much as I am comfortable with being a nerd, I'm not really sure that I want all of these thoughts broadcasted on a social media as large as Facebook.

Now, as your blogger, I am pleading with you not to be offended by my next statement. Quite often, the "less popular" or "nerdy"  (if you will) people tend to take more time to read blogs. The typical teen or on-the-run adult sometimes will not even like to read the short statuses on Facebook. Since you, my dear reader, are taking the time to read my blog, I can infer that you have a much better understanding of the geeky side of life. Therefore, I am certain that you will find humor in at least some of the material posted here. 

This page consists of (but is not limited to): lame jokes/puns, rhetorical questions, grammar peeves, and memes. It is almost like the garbage disposal of my mind. It is a place where I can write down my thoughts and look at them in writing. When I can look at these thoughts on a page in front of me, I come to realize how silly some of these things are. 

Here you are ladies and gentlemen! Feel free to peruse through my collection of, ahem, ponderings... if you will.

A few helpful hints to help you navigate:
 - Everything that I have posted here, I have also posted on the main home page.
 - If you are looking for something in particular, it might be easiest to navigate the home page.
 - However, if you can remember a specific topic that you want to show someone, you can search the content within this page. Just hold Ctrl+F on your keyboard and a little box will pop up in the corner of your window. Search for a key word, and your browser should direct you to the proper location within this page.

Prepositions

I nabbed this from Grammarly's Facebook page--just giving credit where it is due. :) This is something about which I am very paranoid. <---See that beautiful inverted syntax to avoid the mistake of ending a sentence with a preposition? (Grammar Nazi problems...)

Entire Half Hour

For anyone who cares, I hate it when people say "whole half hour." It is one of the most commonly used oxymorons that I know. I challenge you to proceed in life saying "entire half hour" instead of "whole half hour." My fellow grammar Nazis and I give our greatest thanks in advance.

Multiple Guess Paranoia

Someday, when I am a teacher, I want to make a multiple choice test where all the answers are C. If I am feeling particularly devious the day that I make the test, maybe one answer on the whole thing will be A. Hello, paranoia!

It would make my day if a teacher did that to our class now.
