Sometimes I wonder

Sometimes I wonder why dogs lick their humans. Is it just because our skin is salty or are they showing affection?

Sometimes I wonder where the Leonardo da Vincis and Michelangelos are in our time. Is no one that talented anymore?

Sometimes I wonder if one day we'll think flying cars and teleportation are "no big deal." If so, I'm totally teleporting to Europe all the damn time, even if I'm 80 years old.

Sometimes I wonder why teenagers are so quick to grow up. It's not that fun really.

Sometimes I wonder why words like goddamn and shit are censored on TV, but violence is not. I'd rather a child hear profanity than watch someone get beat up or shot.

Sometimes I wonder why some species of animals have a huge range of variation and other species do not. I mean, there are hundreds of breeds of dogs, but a hippo is a hippo, ya know?

Sometimes I wonder if J.K. Rowling will ever write another Harry Potter book. Please J.K.? I miss Harry and the gang.

Sometimes I wonder what it would be like to live in a country where in 2010 you might not know that people have been on the moon. Would I want to know that other places in the world are so much more advanced than where I lived?

Sometimes I wonder how much damage one species can do to a planet. Granted, there are damn near 7 billion of us, but you'd think we'd be a bit more careful with the place considering it's the only home we've got.

Sometimes I wonder if anybody still believes that money doesn't buy happiness. Puh-lease.

Sometimes I wonder why I'm pretty good at a lot of things, but not really great at anything. How mediocre is that? Damn.

Sometimes I wonder how people can think that the earth is only 6,000 years old. Hollywood made a movie called 10,000 B.C. and it showed people. on the earth. Duh!

Sometimes I wonder when I'm ever going to stop writing this post. Oh. I just did.

How many people out of the seven billon or so are really great at something? There's just one Andre Agassi, one Martina Navratilova, one JK Rowling and, apparently, one Leonardo Da Vinci. You can be a great person, great friend, great daughter, etc.

I would teleport to London and Vienna and Hawaii and Las Vegas.
