Mindless Drivel

I dont share this Blog with you know who (H-B). 

He thinks this is mindless drivel and thinks I need to get back to work (whatever).

But - he shares with me today the blog he reads and then goes on to rant and rave about how the 'adults' are running the country....blah, blah snooore. I should read more about the world(zzzz....sorry were you saying something)

I think useless rambling is a good thing.  That's what women do.  We gab.  We can talk for hours.  We can talk over and over again about the same crap - day after day.  Mindless is good.  Stupid is good.

That's why I like magazines.  Cosmo, Lucky, Elle and People.  Just a bunch of ads - random thoughts and sometimes those free samples of perfume too (extra bonus)!

Men on the other hand read...National Geographic, Sports Illustrated, Time (do you see what I am getting at?). 

We flip - they read.  We browse - they sit holding our purses and stew thinking of all the things they could be doing to be more productive to this great world of ours. 

But - let's think what mindless acts men do.

HB can sit and smoke a cigar on the back for an hour.  Not reading just looking into space.  

HB can make an afternoon out of watering the lawn (also done while smoking a cigar).  I am not speaking of setting up the sprinkler either.  He will grab the hose and stand there in one spot seemingly forever.

He will flip. Channel after channel. Over and over.  Not slow enough to see whats on that channel he just passed - just flip.

Now he will tell you - he's contemplating.  Thinking and planning.  Mind always working.

But then how come when I ask him what he's thinking he says 'Nothing' ?
