Nonsensical blog of nonsense.

Um. I forgot why I'm writing this. Or what I planned to write. Maybe I was going to write about this telephone? I suppose that was it. Well, it's grey on the back and silveryish on the front, and all of the number buttons are either white or very light grey (I cannot tell) with black numbers on them and littler black letters, and the five has a raised dot on it. The "off" and "talk" buttons are silver and made of rubber, the "talk" ones got a little black phone on it and another raised dot, and the "off" one's got a raised line on it. The "menu" "hold" "flash" and "redial" buttons are dark grey with white letters, and below "hold" and "flash" it says "INTERCOM CALL WAIT" in black letters. The only button that's not a shade of greyish or silver is the speakerphone (or, as the phone has it spelled "sp-phone") button, which is orange. And, another funny thing about the speakerphone button, you'd think that if you turn it on by pressing the "sp-phone" button, you'd turn it off by pressing the "sp-phone" button, but no. You actually have to press "talk". It took me about a year to figure that out. Funny. Phones are funny things. Have you noticed that almost everyone's house you go to has a different phone? And a lot of the time it's near impossible to figure out how they work? Why are there so many different kids of phones out there? And why do so many of them work in syuch a confusing manner? Like with the speakerphone thing, why not just have it so that you press the same button to turn it on and off? That makes perfect sense to me, but it makes no sense to me to have to press "talk" to turn off speakerphone. What if instead of saying "talk" the talk button on my phone said "on", then to turn off speakerphone you would have to press the "on" button. That would make even less sense. Why is it that so few things make sense? And when things do make sense people are always like "That makes no sense." Like, have you ever watched a movie that made total perfect sense, and left saying to whoever you went with "Oh, yeah, I liked that movie." then had them say to you "Yeah, I liked it, but it made no sense."? So then you're thinking that maybe it's just something really simple that they didn't catch, so you're like "Well, what didn't you get?" and they're like "The whole thing. The whole thing just didn't make any sense." And you say "What about the whole thing didn't make any sense?" And they're still saying "It just didn't make any sense. None of it made any sense." Which makes you want to go home, and write up a detailed essay about how much the movie did make sense because IT DID and this person must be just confused. So then, instead of doing that, you explain it what seems to be perfectly understandable English everything anyone copuld possibly not get, finishing with "Now do you get it?" and the person just shakes their head and changes the subject. Has that ever happened to you? It's painful for the brain. Makes me want to smash my head through a wall. Like so many other things.
I'll be done boring you now.
