Sometimes Life Is Strange .. But It's Those Little Things That Make It So InterestingsteemCreated with Sketch.

Today I Ponder A Thought..

Life is strange. If you take a few moments and be observant, you can find at least one weird or funny thing each day. I don't always document these things, but rather acknowledge them in my own little way, then dismiss them. Most recently I have been going through my iPhone and deleting any photos and videos that I have backed up. I am going through them and eliminating what is no longer relevant or meaningful to me. I am making room for more photos that will eventually be deleted as well. While I am going through them, a few caught my eye. Most of these were from the same period of time, when I was sharing them with a friend via texting. This was before I started steeming, otherwise they would have been shared with you already.

Some of you may not find these weirdly funny at all.. It may just be me. That's okay too.

First Weird Thing ..

The United States of America General Tso's Chicken .. BAM! I ate it too. Took a picture and then ate that bad boy. I've read of people seeing Jesus in their toast or Gandi on their pizza.. but have you ever had the luck of getting a country as a piece of food? I am honored but also very hungry..lol

Second Strange Thing ..

Conflicting Popsicle sticks. Sometimes we buy these Popsicle's and they have cute little jokes or riddles on them. You see part of the riddle on the part you hold while eating it, then the rest becomes visible after you consume the cold treat. Well one day I entered the Twilight Zone .. STRANGE .. Mind Blown!

Third Up ..

We have the conflicting speed limit signs. I could only imagine the conversation between the two state workers hired to put up this road sign. "But the work order says to. Just do what it say and nothing more. We're not paid to question things." or at least something like that. I took the photo, scratched my head, and posted it to Facebook. Why not have some fun with it before they get smart and take it down. Well rest assured, they did not. Still there today. I go 35.. 25 is too dang SLOW!

The Fourth Thing ..

Is this folded tag that was attached to a NASCAR shirt I bought a long while ago, when I was going to these races. I flipped it open thinking there was a statement of thanks or care instructions.. neither. Just a crap load of legal stuff. Really? for a shirt?? The last time I purchased medication it didn't come with this many words of gibberish.

Last But Not My Least Favorite ..

The really wild cool M&M. I love me some M&M's! Have you ever seen the commercials where the M&M's talk to each other and are alive like humans? There is a whole series featuring them. I so want to write Mars Inc and bring them on board with adding this very tall skinny character to the roles :-) Like a candy coated, chocolate filled Mike & Ike.. Yummy Cool :-D

Well that's all for today!

I hope everyone has a fantastic weekend. I also hope you keep your eyes pealed for the weird and unusual around you.. and I don't mean your friends! haha. Be safe!!

About Me ~ The Artist

My art work incorporates a wide variety of subject matter, including landscape, seascape, cityscape, and still life images. My works are the product of a continuing process of exploration through which I seek to portray personal and visionary interpretations of my surroundings. My paintings are impressions of places and events from everyday life, an interpretation of my imagination, and personal responses to what I see and feel on a daily basis. More recently I have invested generous amounts of time into my landscape painting. I am surrounded by natural and man made beauty, which inherently presents itself in the tri-state area, and almost demands that I paint it.

Not everything is art. Art is not everything, but it comes close. Art is everywhere and all the time. Art makes you experience the beauty of the world, the people in it, and the places we call home. Art itself is so influential that it can tell stories, show feelings, and express passion or fury. Art exists in addition to language; expression of sensations and thoughts, revealing a way of thinking too subtle and delicate for words.

For me art requires love, honesty and perseverance. In return, it reveals some personal, non-analyzable, and creative untamed passion. For the public, art with its magnificent beauty, improves mood and health and builds better human beings and communities. It engages the intellect, softens the heart, strengthens the soul and frees the spirit.

Is the General Tso's Chicken the really hot and spicy that people who have never had hot and spicy food grab for the water as soon as they take a bite? I had some a few times in Clarksville at a hole in the wall little diner, it was very good, took a few visits before I really was able to appreciate it, but it was good.

Did the T-shirt include a warning that like not responsible for any attacks caused by the wearing of our product whether it be by, man, woman, or ecologist/SJW?

It takes an act f congress I guess to change the speed limit sign, you can't even split the difference and do 30 miles an hour as you are either speeding or impeding the flow of traffic.

I love reading your comments. They are 😂 so funny! Yeah, I decided not to wear the T-shirt for those very reasons. The act of Congress I’ll just have to wait for I suppose. As for the chicken, I order it not hot. I’ve had the full hot version, but it’s pretty mellow. Definitely not as hot as a hot wing. More sweet than spicy.

I love the weird and unusual stuff that pops up through daily life and I enjoyed seeing these.

I agree! Thanks for the support and I would love to see them. ☺️

You should see the streets of Montreal - they are filled with contradicting road signs! Having some M& M right now ;0)

Haha. Glad I’m not alone. Hehe. I do something very weird with my M&M’s. I heat them up in the microwave, so that the chocolate melts. I know.. weird.

Wait! I never delete! Well I do but only because I know I have a backup. It makes it so less painful. Just think you may enjoy getting a chuckle from the USA chicken or the "special" M and M next year. My simple answer is to use Google Photos and back up automatically. Free and easy!

Hahaha. I hear ya! Thanks for the great advice 😁 I am going to look into that right now!
