Potpourri

This blog is titled after one of my favorite Jeopardy categories because, well, it's a mixture of things. I always type these little notes into my phone when I have ideas for songs or blogs or whatever. Lately I have been seriously slacking so they have been piling up. Here are the abbreviated versions of some of the ideas I've collected over the past month: good, bad, naive or otherwise.

Falling on deft ears- I think I've already talked about my general distaste for puns and my ironic use of them. Anyway, I was pretty high on this idea although I had to double check what deft meant. It works and could have been a decent jumping off point.

I wouldn't take her best advice but I'd sure as hell be her worst mistake

- This was definitely intended for song but it sounds more like a one-liner. It's like swiss, good but has holes in it... and definitely cheesy.

I don't want a woman that will make me jump through hoops to be with her, but a woman who will make me heart jump through hoops when I am with her. 

- I'm almost embarrassed to post this, I mean it sounds like a reject from a romantic comedy. But there are definitely times when I just want to scream "say what you mean!" or better yet "say what you feel!"

You should treat everyone well... but if you treat everyone the same then no one will ever know how you really feel. 

- I was thinking of someone in particular when I wrote this who is a very nice person and a pleasure to be around. However, it's just impossible to know if she is actually being sincere because you know she treats everyone the same way. Maybe I'm just a bad person but I think it's okay to show that you care about some people more than others. And if it's done in private then your public persona can remain intact. 

Well, these were some of the thoughts that crossed my mind the past month. I forgot to mention before that some "ideas" last only a few days before I delete them. A little distance helps me realize that some of the stuff I come up with is best left kept to myself.
