i just don't understand

there are some things in this world that i just don't understand. let's review a few, shall we?

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
  1. waiting at the doctors office
    it seems, no matter how early you show up to a doctor's appointment, you always have to wait... always. and most of the time it seems that you waiting past the actual time of your appointment. every doctor's office should have a slogan. here's a good one, "early, on time or late? you still wait!"

  2. pregnant ladies and being photographed with guns
    the pictures say it all - or nothing about what is going on.


  3. pregnant ladies being photographed completely nude
    this covers a very large spectrum of pregnant and nude ladies. to some degree, i understand why this happens. but then i see things like the first two photos... seriously?! and the last photo, while artistic and tasteful, still bothers me... i guess i am just not comfortable with that much nudity. and why does the man have to be in there and naked as well?


  4. the obligatory act of giving gifts
    i think i've sort of mentioned this before - maybe not. but why do most people feel obligated to get/give gifts to people for all occasions, whether special or not? obviously i understand the feeling of obligation for birthdays, weddings, babies and certain holidays. but truthfully, i don't feel the need to receive gifts for most of those occasions anymore, so i don't think anyone should feel the need to give me one either. no more gifts for jessica - you're all off the hook! i'm happy with you just mentioning a simple "happy" this or "congratulations" that. besides, if you have to ask me what i want for my birthday, a holiday or a celebration then i don't want a gift. i loath telling people what to buy me for that stuff. it's not out of spite... but if you haven't heard me talk about needing or wanting anything lately then i'm probably fine. you're best bet is to keep your ears and eyes open during conversations with me to see if there might be anything you can get me.

    sorry about the mini rant there. but does all that make sense? my bff beth knows exactly where i am coming from with that one.

  5. people that wont grow up and/or be the better person in some situations
    enough said.

  6. animal abuse/neglect/cruelty
    why did you get an animal in the first place?

  7. conservatives
    seriously, where did they come from?

  8. 100% blind faith - in anything
    i want to believe blindly in some things. but its hard for me. i always find myself wanting proof.

  9. honor killings
    if you don't know what i am talking about, google it or read any one of these articles:
    http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2002/02/0212_020212_honorkilling.html
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Honor_killing
    http://www.gendercide.org/case_honour.html
    blows my mind.

  10. people's need to share their opinion(s) while also thinking that it is the be all, end all to life's questions
    if i didn't ask you what your opinion was then basically i don't want your opinion. especially if you are going to be pushy about it. don't force your yackity-yack-smack on me - shut your trap! do you need me to further explain what i am saying? okay. what i am trying to say is, when i want your opinion - which is just what it is, an opinion - i will ask you for it.

i'm done. have a nice weekend!
