Captain Obvious

I'm going to idea-surf off something I heard on Colin Cowherd the other day. He was talking about how some of the stupid mistakes we see people make seem so obvious for us to fix. For example, it is obvious to everyone else that a physically abused wife should leave her husband, but that wife will defend him and still tell everyone he's a great person. Conversely, sometimes we make mistakes and we are in a complete fog. I'm in a fog like all of the time, so I know that is true with me. Here's a few arbitrary things that seem obvious to me:

  • Peter, Paul and Mary's Wedding Song is absolutely a must-play at a wedding, and I'm not too picky.
  • The Blazers all season long took too many outside jumpers. They needed to push up the tempo and take the ball to the hole!
  • General Conference needs to get rid of the teleprompters.
  • Everyone should get rid of their cars, we should rip up all the roads and build electrified rails everywhere.
  • If newspapers give away all of their content for free on the Internet, their cost-based print versions will fail.
  • In the same vein, why ever go to the movies or rent videos anymore? You can either get them for free or pay to see them in your home without going out and hassling with some teenager who makes you show your debit card twice and then has you walk around the corner to hand you the DVD because they think you are going to steal it!
  • It is impossible to tie a string around someone's finger when they are moving.
  • Why do they have phones that have buttons on the outside which cause you to accidentally call people when you put it in your pocket?
  • Blue Steel? Ferrari? Le Tigre? They're the same face! I feel like I'm taking crazy pills!
That's all for now. What else is obvious? Do tell, but go easy on me.
