A little sweet, a little sour, a little sweet-and-sour.

Ashot, excellent comment in class...really, I enjoyed it tremendously. Just be careful when you walk by computer-techie Joe....he wasn't as enthusiased. Don't worry, I got your back.

However, now moving on to more serious issues...

I have had numerous people (these will remain nameless due to HIPPA conduct guidlines as I believe many of these people have ADHD or borderline conduct disorder) walk up to me in class and ask me if what I posted was serious or just meant for humor's sake. Well, I really am shocked that so many seemingly bright people would actually think such things and thus I have to state once and for all...that I am EXTREMELY SERIOUS! NO JOKES HERE!

Ok, really I have been bothered for quite some time about something...I don't know the best way to say this or how to format it...so I'm just gonna do it like this.

Perhaps some of you have seen the movie, 'Forrest Gump.' I know I have and it is great...really, you owe it to yourself. In any case, there is a saying that goes something like, "Life is like a box of chocolates, You never know what you gonna get." Well, I know Forrest wasn't very bright or educated and his IQ was as low as my last block's average, but was he up to something with what he said? I mean, sometimes I wonder, is life really like that, like a box full of chocolates, some of which have liquor-filled interiors and others are truffle-like, still others full of a white texturious cream. Anyways, this implies that life is sweet, you know, all chocolates taste good (unless you are allergic), but is life really like that?

Or is life like a sack of potates, that is, you know exactly what you are gonna get, a uncooked, pealed, plain and wholesome sack and if you reach in you get a potato that needs some washing, but is relatively plain....

Or is life more like a car full of gypsies, that is, in this case, you can't expect much, but you know that you better act fast cause as soon as they get out, you are in major trouble...so perhaps, life full of running and trepedation from fear...

Or is life more like calling on Ashot to speak in class...that is, in this case you really don't know what you are gonna get...you know it won't be a serious question or constructive comment of any kind...but better yet, it will be something hilariously witty and will leave you laughing endlessly...thus, is it more like a cruel joke...

Or is life really like, well a box full of chocolates?
