Why wHy whY???

I'm just wondering......

Why do I always pick the wrong line in the grocery store, walmart, the toll booth??

Why don't my friends tell me when I have something stuck in my teeth?

Why do I stay up so late? What exactly am I soooo busy doing at 1am in the morning?

Why are my arms so muscular? Believe it or not, I swear I hardly ever lift arm weights.

Why am I OK wearing my competition uniform which is the same size, give or take, of a bikini, but then petrified to wear a real bikini swimsuit??

Why do my calves sweat when I'm out at the track working out?

Why are my eyes so big??I'm not mad about it, I'm just wondering?

Why is everyone trying to make athletes, countries, officials boycott the Olympic Games? This is my job people! Why don't you boycott your own job??

Why do my fingernails grow so fast?

Why do I have a million different tan lines?? The tan around my ankles from wearing socks every day, the jog bra tan line, half tights tan line...it's not a good look!!

Why do people act as if they don't see me trying to merge onto the freeway?? I know you see me, so quit staring straight ahead and speeding up on purpose! Can't we just all get along?

Why am I afraid to see blood??

What's with that saying, "Bros before hos!" I don't like it very much.

Why do I like reality TV so much?

Why are my feet so small??

Why does Tyra speak so slooowly and drag her words out when she's trying to make a point? It's kinda offputting.

Why do men spend so much time rummaging around with stones, when often they have a diamond right in front of them??

Why am I still so naive/gullible?

What's with rubbernecking?? I mean you can still look at the accident and drive at a decent pace so we don't all have to be late!!

How come some people can do situps all day and have a no-pack and some can no situps and have a whole case of abs??

Why does a whole case of abs look so nice???

Why are people so addicted to their Blackberries?? Maybe it's because I don't have one but I just wish for once they would put them down!!

How can two eyes, one nose, and a set of lips look SOOO different on everyone? I mean really, it's only 4 things - the variation should not be so drastic!

Why is blogging so much fun?? Who knew?

So Jack you've gone all philosophical on me today?

Let me help you out with a few of your whys............

Your sock tan line is killing me. So I suggest you get your butt into a bikini and head down to the pool with me. There you go killing two birds with one stone. lol

LOL. Love the sense of humor.

I too am naive, at times. I think it's a sign of a person with a good heart.

Blogging is good from the workplace. And on the weekends while watching the NBA games. I think it opens people up to a whole new world. Kind of.

Because the other ones dont look as fast

They like to look and stare

Because it's fun staying up...you're grown you can do it now!

Because they are sexy and aturn on and yummy

I dunno...but you're alright with me in either

Because they are round and sexy

So you can see all the bull that others dont

They dont realize the importance and don't appreciate the hard work that you put in

Because of all the vitamins and healthy livin

Again...sexy.

Cuz the big eyes prolly get all mean lookin when they speed up...they want to chuckle

Because blood is icky poo

Anyone that uses either word seriously shouldn't be taken seriously.

Reality TV is The greatest!

So that you could get all the hottest shoes with no issues

Becuase the words has to travel around all the weave...through that big dome...and out all that makeup...during the path of stupidity

I dunno...I need to go to that stone shop...I want a diamond SO bad

You are not gullible.

Nosyness knows no end

I have NO idea...and I'm livin the former....I hate it
I want my Case...gimmie a 2 pack shukur!
It's Genetics I say!

I have no clue but they so do...and the things I want to do to them on a woman.....

It's the mini keyboard...so cool

You're one of the lucky ones...your 2, 1, and set is put in the right place...I think it's called yummy

I dunno...but some are great to read.

Eclectik....man, I can't believe you took the time to respond in such a way!! I am duly impressed..and I thank you!

LOL! I want to comment on every one but I won't be like Mr. E.

Trust me, I tell folks when they have something in their teeth, something danlging from those nose hairs that need to be waxed, and when their lipgloss has given them the white line.

Big eyes are a great thing. Though my friends beg to differ because I don't seem to miss out on anything.

Blackberries are a trip. I imagine we'll be the same way once we get one. I'm upgrading in July=)

I suggest you put sunblock on the tanned areas and hop in the sun to even out the rest.

I think it's because they are scared to look at the diamond. They realize its worth. They realize what picking it up means to them. They'd rather keep playing with rocks because they don't hold much value. They can toss them aside, pick up a new one and not feel bad about it at all. A diamond has to be treated with care...a prized possession.

Unfortunately, most often than not, when they are done skipping rocks, the diamond is no where to be found.

Brianna said...

i want to take credit for introducing you to the world of blogging and all that it has to offer.

i enjoyed your list. the end.

Just_Wondering said...

Why are my arms so muscular? Believe it or not, I swear I hardly ever lift arm weights.--> Oh I tend to wonder the same thing about myself. People always assume that I'm hitting the gym because of the way my arms look! You'd have to drag me to a gym! I'd rather workout outdoors. I should start walking soon.... because I'm starting to wonder "why I never have the energy to wakeup in the mornings"

Mizrepresent said...

I loved your why list!

Why do two eyes, one nose, and one mouth look so different on everyone?


I especially loved that one...gurl, just like the numerous flowers in the field, we are all the same and yet uniquely our own.

Mizrepresent said...

@jewells - just lovely, the diamond/stone comparison.

12kyle said...

Great post Jackie!

I really don't know why I stay up so late either. LoL

Blogging is soooo much fun. I can't stop. I won't stop. I don't even know how to stop. Haaaa

Side note...are you concerned about your safety when you go to the Summer Games (I know that you're going b/c I have spoken it into existance). I read something last night about rumors about kidnapping athletes.

Eb the Celeb said...

OMG... why did I write a post a while back about the grocery store line... I always get behind someody who doesnt have enough money to pay for the 800 dollars worth of stuff they have in their cart so then they have to start taking stuff off and then separate whats going on their footstamp card...ugh!

Sigh - I wish my fingernails grew...

I have to admit. My name is Eb the Celeb and I am addicted to my Crackberry.

And I agree with you that blogging is fun. I never expected it to be but now I run to see what my blog family has written.

Jackie E. said...

Jewells - I think you hit the nail on the head with your explanation about the diamond and stone analogy - it's sad, but true!

Brianna - Actually David was the first one that I knew who blogged, but yes you are the one who inspired me to join the club, so I thank you!

Just Wondering - Welcome to the blog. LOL @ I should start walking soon.... because I'm starting to wonder "why I never have the energy to wakeup in the mornings"!!

Mizrepresent - So true. I guess the same is true for snowflakes. Still, you have to wonder....

12 Kyle - I am a little concerned about safety there at the Olympics and my mother in particular is very concerned. The thing is there's nothing really that I can do to safeguard myself. I just have to hope and pray that the Lord sees it fit to bring me back home in one piece!

Eb the Celeb - LOL @ "I have to admit. My name is Eb the Celeb and I am addicted to my Crackberry." - too funny! It's ok, you guys should all have a reunion of some sort and expound on all the virtues of the so-named Crackberry! I guess the rest of us are really missing out!

dejanae said...

some people have all the luck

Anonymous said...

Jackie you're something else! All of these "why's" truly do make you think. While reading them, I was like..."Hmmm, that is a good question...".

@ jackie edwards: hey jackie our writers group have a new Hypothetically Speaking segment up. It's a read that may entertain you. It's respectful. Nothing filthy like minus the bars.

Jackie E. said...

Hey Don. Thanks for the heads up on the Hypothetically Speaking segment. I checked it out and I enjoyed it. I will be sure to check back.

OMG!! You are so funny. I could identify with most of your whys!!
