This hand is your hand…

Friday, February 12th, 2010

I will warn you in advance, it has been a long week already and this post may be a little on the random side.

I have talked about the Friends episode before where Joey finds his hand twin, and I still find that absolutely hilarious. If you haven’t seen it, I will embed the video so you can watch it. It cracks me up every time I watch it. I am not sure why, but it does. 

Speaking of hand modeling, let me tell you why I like Megan Fox. By know I am sure you know that she has a club thumb. If you didn’t know before the Super Bowl, I am sure you do know. Every blog and their dog has been talking about how Motorola used a “hand double” for her in the Super Bowl ad for their new phone. I find that a little humorous myself, on a couple of different levels. I think it’s kind of interesting that so many people are so interested in her and her thumb that’s a little different. Every time something gets written about her or she is in the news, like this past week, my site traffic jumps because of searches for her and her thumb. Now I am not complaining a bit about that, anything that gets people here to check out my site is fine by me, I don’t want to look a gift horse in the mouth. I just think it is kind of funny that people are so intrigued by that minor difference, when there are so many other people in the world with differences that don’t get nearly as much attention. I think in a perfect world they would have just used her, thumbs and all, just the way she is and no one would care about her thumb being a little different. We all know that we don’t live in a perfect world though, and so you get Super Bowl ads with thumb doubles and tons of people searching the web to see Megan Fox and her real thumbs. That’s why I like her though, she brings me traffic.

I’m making progress, I promise.

One of my friends actually called me out the other day. She said she had been reading my blog, and had to point out that I wasn’t posting a lot of “book meat” as she called it. This is the friend that was one of the first people I told about my book idea, and I think one of the reasons I told her first is because I knew she would be one to encourage me, and not cut me any slack at the same time. I assured her that I have more book meat than it appears, that there’s a lot of material just chillin’ out waiting for me to hit the submit button on it. I tend to over think things a lot of times, and I will write about something and let it sit for a while before I a ctually decide to hit that submit button. This is especially true for some of the more personal stuff you may find on here. Not to mention the fact that a lot of this stuff that I am writing about happened more than a few years ago, so I am having to do a fair bit of remembering here. I am starting to wish I had made notes as I went along, instead of trying to remember all this stuff years later. I guess what they say about hindsight really is true.

I think the next big piece of this crazy puzzle that I will tell you about is my very first job. I think that could probably be a book all by itself. I have been working on that post for a while, and I hope to have it finished pretty soon. OH, I have also been working on a post about the many, many times I have lost my leg and the hilarity that ensued. I can tell you this, there is nothing more frustrating than a dog running off with your leg in its mouth!

About My blog
This is my way of sharing my day to day life with you. Check out the About Me section to read a little more about myself and my differences.

I started this blog as a way to organize my thoughts and get some ideas out of my head and onto paper so to speak. The goal is to eventually write a book about my life. Writing about things I go through on a daily basis as well as things I experienced growing up seemed like a logical starting point, and what better way to do that than starting a blog? The blog will mainly be a collection of stories from my life, as well as things that I go through on a daily basis. In typical blog style, the newest post will be on top so if you want to read in order you will have to start at the beginning. If you have any comments questions and/or feedback about the site, you can use my contact page to send me a message, I would love to hear from you.
