Mindless Thoughts!

Trevor's Mindless Thoughts!
Here are some points to ponder from yours truly, Trevor Fehrman!

November 9, 2000
I love the treadmill. I can get out and walk without having to leave
the house. I once tried walking my dog on the treadmill... and then
I realized there are some things that definitely need to happen
outside.

Remember that Taco guy and his photo camera? Me neither.

Wish I had thought to combine a TV and a VCR into one convenient
package... but no... I decided to make my life's work the microwave/
phone and the clock/ceiling fan. I will now hang my head in shame.

I remember when bigger was better. In the good old days. Before people
fell in love with small things. Like mini disc players and squirrels.

Elves are cheerful and lovely. They have cookies, sparkles, and
mischievous smiles. They come and visit me every weekend, but no one
believes me and I can't take pictures. Things are gonna change now.

Back in kindergarten, we were all taught "patience is a virtue." I
clearly remember sitting on tiny square mats, while the teacher
dangled boxed chocolate chip cookies and glasses of milk over our
heads to teach us this valuable lesson. Now that I'm all grown up, I
can look Mrs. Kittlemeyer in the eye and say, "I want it NOW!"

What is it with this sudden movement for small and mini things? I saw
mini chocolate bars in the supermarket. I saw mini skirts on shoppers.
And now we have a mini disc player. Will the madness ever end?
Speaking of mini things, elves (which sound suspiciously like "Elph")
are tiny men who live in trees and make cookies all day. I sense a
conspiracy. This trend must be stopped... or else.

Blackberry, blackberry, blackberry jam. Oh, how I wish I had some
blackberry jam. And maybe a bagel. With some butter. And creme. I wonder where my wallet is...

Have you seen the new Charlie?s Angle movie yet?
It's just like "Singing in the Rain" only completely different.

Sometimes, a picture is worth a thousand words. At least that's what
they say. Now I don't know who they are, or if we should trust "them,"
but this would be good in a pinch, say, for a 1,000 word essay test.

I saw a commercial for a flat TV. The day I have a flat TV is the day I have a 3-dimensional pancake.

Wouldn't it be cool if your feet were lockers? You could keep stuff in
your feet, you wouldn't ever need a bag, and no one could steal it,
since you'd have a lock and key. Though, it might be hard to walk...

I like these robot guys. You can push them around, and they don't give
you lip. If anyone has any wise ideas about giving them the ability to
do so, I implore you not to. Robots are all I have these days.

I recently bought a copy-machine. Boy, was I shocked and dismayed to learn this copier could not be used
to copy people. My goal of cloning myself to do various tasks around
the world has been thwarted. I've found I do enjoy making copies of
all my documents, so I guess it all worked out in the end.

You're one of the 1,000,000 plus people who bought the N'Sync
album the day it was released. Admit it.

I had a friend named Philip. He would stay up late to play experimental
piano ditties all night long. He'd play and play and play... we're not
friends anymore.

January 29, 2000: I am happy with this digital development - especially the digital camera. I was never too fond of handing my pictures over to the developer guy. He always had a smug smile on his face, as if he were saying, "I know what you did last night..."

January 28, 2000: Every stereo used to come with a switch for Mono or Stereo. The guy who thought of that feature must be rich. He knew that not everyone liked Stereo. Think of all the people who had headphones with only one earpiece. If not for that guy, they would have all had to buy new
headphones. Mono Switch Guy is a true American hero.

January 16, 2000: I like how in movies the bad guy faxes the good guy telling him he's about to try and kill him. Then, just as the good guy finishes reading the fax, a bomb goes off. This works because good guys in movies always wait right by the fax machine, and bad guys always know the number.

January 5, 2000: Why is a barrel of monkeys funny? Monkeys who are trapped in a barrel are probably scared and might scratch your eyes out when you open it. This is NOT a toy for a child!

January 4, 2000: They used to give away stuff like watches on the "Price is Right." I always thought they should eliminate the $1 bid on the show, but where do you draw the line - $2? $3? It's a problem. Maybe there should've
been some kind of penalty for bidding ridiculously low. They could make
you eat candy left on the studio floor.

December 21, 1999: I believe in fate, so I'm never lost. I'm always exactly where I should be at exactly the right time. Unless I bang my head. That's not fate, that happens when God needs a laugh.

December 20, 1999: I like it when electronic things talk. It reminds me of my trip to the future - - dah - - I mean... they are just plain neat.

December 17, 1999: I think fog gets a bad rap. A lot of horror movies depict fog as scary and evil. I don't believe this is true. You see people willing to play in the rain which makes them wet and uncomfortable. They can even catch a cold. I say the next time you see some fog go play in it. You won't be dissapointed.

November 7, 1999: I sleep with a fan on...even in the winter. The sound helps drown out the ambiant noise and gives me something monotonous and boring to focus on, thus making it easier to fall asleep. I wonder where my wallet is?

November 6, 1999: My favorite vehicle growing up was the Big Wheel. I'd tear around the neighborhood with the Big Wheel leading the way. No one messed with me and my Big Wheel. Then I turned 15 and sorta outgrew it. After that, I'd only take it out on weekends.

October 31, 1999: You know when you go to the super-market and the honey baked ham starts protesting? I hate that.

October 27, 1999: I don't think that the fortunes inside of fortune cookies should be made out of paper. Rather sheet metal. Furthermore, they should all be good fortunes. Because then when you accidentally swallow it, and the doctors pump it out of your stomach, the doctors will get all cheery-faced. You'll say, "What?" And the doctors will reply with, "Check this out!" and then show you the sheet metal fortune, and the whole operating room will start to laugh and laugh.......so, to make a long story short; I like sheet metal.
