Baby, I'm Amazed

Now that I have planted a Paul McCartney ear worm in your head...(admit it, you sang that as you read it) here are some things that amaze me.

How many people need a video or pictorial tutorial on how to create a "messy bun" hairdo...Seriously, bitch? Its called a pony tail holder...
Why the "perfect pancake maker," "eggies" and " the wax vac" exist... Have you seen the infomercials for these things? The first two portray pancakes and hard boiled eggs as two of the most difficult things in the world to make. The third, shows a man screaming in pain as he puts a q-tip too far into his ear...really? Are there people in the world who REALLY need these products? And if someone mortally woulds themselves trying to clean their ears with a Q-tip, can't we chalk that up to natural selection?
The people at Caring and Sharing who do not take fresh food because they "don't know how to use it." I am not making this shit up..My aunt does a lot of volunteering with Caring and Sharing. During the holidays they used to give five pound bags of fresh potatoes with the meal boxes . They stopped doing it because very few would take them. The recipients would say, "What do I do with them?" "How do I use them?" (Thud....that was the sound of my palm slapping my forehead) What the fuck do you mean, "How do I use them?" That, to me, is beyond amazing, it's stunning...simply stunning.
People (ahem...especially the hoity-toity type) who will pay ridiculous amounts of money for something you can make for $3...(I'm talking simple things here, like a mason jar with a piece of burlap wrapped around it and a button glued on the front, selling on easy right now for $27)
Young, drunk, punks who think that fighting with someone, anyone, is "cool." It's not cool. It shows that you are white trash worthless...I am even more amazed when said young, drunk, punk (who is usually 5'6" and 150 pounds soaking wet thinks that he can "take" the 6'4" 300 pound guy in the corner....
How my children made it through infancy without diaper wipe warmers, a bumbo or a sling wrap for me to swaddle them in. ( I am also amazed that they are healthy and even remotely intelligent since I did not nurse, but that's a HUGE can of worms that I have no interest in debating here, or really anywhere, ever.)
People who vandalize things....there is a bird mosaic uptown that someone spray painted the word "yeah" over....what the fuck is wrong with people? I mean, really....
George Strait and his impending 60th number one...that's 60th people, as in 6-0...he amazes me, in a totally good way. George Strait is like buttah...seriously, buttah..smooth, wonderful buttah...
