This Means What?

You know old sayings. I'm sure you've heard a few growing up. I have. In English and Spanish. Imagine how confused I am. Anyhow, have you ever stopped to think about it? What the hell do those things mean?

I have decided to ponder a bit. Bear with me.


Early to bed and early to rise makes a man wealthy and wise.
-Okay, really? I didn't know people were paid to sleep...although, the wise thing makes sense...at least, that's some hope for me. There has GOT to be a reason why I have been half out of my mind recently. All the absent-mindedness...sleep deprivation. I knew it.

People in glass houses shouldn't throw stones.
-I've never actually seen a glass house. That's a lie...wasn't there one in '13 Ghosts' or whatever that movie was called? Except that house had homocidal ghosts, so I would have been doubley careful in that house.

There's more than one way to skin a cat.
-I am sad for the amount of cats it took to figure that out. I can't even imagine how else to skin a cat...or anything else for that matter.

The journey of a thousand miles must begin with a single step.
-Hopefully, for me, it starts with checking my baggage...unless the words 'Road Trip' is in it and kids are not part of the equation.


Those are the only ones I can think of. It's 5:22 a.m., though, so sleep deprivation may make this blog (maybe all of them-hmmm) a little incoherent. It's alright, though. I'm having fun with it. I hope you like reading it!
