Things that make you go ummmm?

Postby Peepelonia » Thu Jun 04, 2009 6:04 am

So for as long as I can remeber I have had great delight in sitting somewhere solitary, being still and silent and just watching the wildlife be err wild.

Now I live in London, and so the humble pigeon I have watched for many, many years and I have always wonderd when there breeding season is? It seems that they are always engainge in the old matting dance anytime of the year.

The think that happened to me yesterdy though took be very much by supprise. I was out after lunch watching the pigeons when it suddenly occoured to me how beautiful they are, I wonder why I have never seen it before?

What has made you go ummmm? Latley?

Finding how simple a relationship like the one I'm having can really be. That has made me go 'ummmm' lately. It gives me peace.

Recipes.

Any time I read a new recipe somewhere that I like, I go "ummmm... sounds yummy. Why didn't I think of something like this before"?
"I was walking along the bank of a stream when I saw a mother otter with her cubs. A very endearing sight, and as I watched, the mother otter dived into the water and came up with a plump salmon, which she subdued and dragged on to a half-submerged log. As she ate it, while of course it was still alive, the body split and I remember to this day the sweet pinkness of its roes as they spilled out, much to the delight of the baby otters who scrambled over themselves to feed on the delicacy. One of nature’s wonders: mother and children dining upon mother and children. And that’s when I first learned about evil. It is built in to the very nature of the universe. If there is any kind of supreme being, I told myself, it is up to all of us to become his moral superior."

Just giving a heads up.

But in all seriousness, I go ummm when I see the mountains, I notice how wonderful they are and also wonder why I never thought that before.

I live in the Mountain State of West Virginia, you see.

Trees and weeds.
I used to think "Oh, trees" and "ew, weeds." Now it's "Wow, trees!" and "ooh, weeds!" Maybe it's the photographer in me.

Something to do with the funky taste that makes most of us go "ick". Our palates aren't used to the taste. We can eat some weird stuff, but that is too "exotic" for some of us.

But do they have to do it so loudly? I mean, have you ever heard the sounds pigeons make when mating? I thought it sounded like power tools the first time I heard it clearly... :blink:

NSG threads.
Venicilian: wow. Jesus hung around with everyone. boys, girls, rich, poor(mostly), sick, healthy, etc. in fact, i bet he even went up to gay people and tried to heal them so they would be straight.
The Parkus Empire: Being serious on NSG is like wearing a suit to a nude beach.
New Kereptica: Since power is changed energy over time, an increase in power would mean, in this case, an increase in energy. As energy is equivalent to mass and the density of the government is static, the volume of the government must increase.

I concur. I used to live in Southern California with a full on view of the house next door - everything else being shrouded in smog. It was green and clear for maybe two days of the year - the rest of the time it was shades of brown and tan - including the ecru sky.

Now I live at the foot of Pike's Peak and go ummm every morning.
