Why Is It ...

… that I feel like everything happens for a reason, and sometimes think the reason is because I’m dumb and make bad choices?

… that I forget someone’s name about ten seconds after meeting them?

… that I make plans and then instantly regret making plans?

… that I felt the need to sage my home against some bad juju and the next morning I woke up outside?

… that since I found out make-up sex was better than regular sex, all I do is start shiz?

… that you can stick the word ‘absolute’ in front of literally any noun and make up a top-notch insult, you absolute carrot.

… that I am 100% sure my last words will be, “Are you fucking kidding me right now?”

  1. Do you make these up during the week and save them for Saturday's "Why Is it?" or do think of them all at once.
    You are clever, Bob.

    1. Some are my actual thoughts and some I find and think, 'Yeah, that's me.'

  2. I do tend to forget a lot of people's names right after I'm introduced, but mostly because I know they will never disappear from my life soon after I forget their names.

    1. I'm good with faces, but names often elude me.

    2. I've always had significantly more difficulty recalling women's names rather than men's. No idea why that could be, absolutely none at all. ;-)

  3. I’m not a believer that everything happens for a reason, so I especially love that first question.

  5. I must remember to use absolute more often. It certainly adds a certain interesting emphasis, I hadn't thought of before.
    You're certainly a thinker Bob!

    1. Absolute is a good addition when used in this way.

    1. Carlos and I were talking about inviting people for Thanksgiving and we settled on eight friends, and then I instantly said, "Or it could just be the two of us."

  7. I too forget names but rarely forget a face. I'm an absolute zucchini!

    1. You know ... when you are making up after a fight ... or had a bit too much to drink ... or it's someone's birthday.

      One of my favorite comics, Bob Smith, used to say, "I remember when we fucked like rabbits. I mean, we still do, but now I mean only on Easter."

    As much as I find the "why is it..." posts amusing, I gotta admit, I miss "Snarky Saturday" posts. Those were a great decompressing end to heavy news weeks. Any chance of those making an occasional return, Bob?

    1. I might. I'm always looking for something new and different and may reinvent that one!

  10. I can't remember names or what I told people five minutes ago, you absolute genius. You're not dumb, but everyone regrets their choices sometimes. When I make plans, I almost always regret it. You're not alone in the way you feel, you absolute brussel sprout.

    Love,
    Janie

    1. Because I love Brussel Sprouts so much that actually sounds like a term of endearment! 😁
