Not a Distraction #2

Ever wear a band-aid on your finger? If you haven't you should, because it is delightful.

Okay seriously, a band-aid on your finger (or even worse, a thumb) is one the most annoying experiences in life, especially if it's on the tip of the finger (or thumb). I mean, as if it's not bad enough you have a cut or blister (in my case, a cut of unknown origins), but then you have to put a band-aid on it; most of the time in an awkward set that makes any finger/thumb movements feel weird. Now, I am all for band-aids. Band-Aids are the bee's knees, especially if they have some kind of graphic or cartoon on them (my personal fav's are Scooby-Doo and Rugrats (representin' the inner 90's child)); but The Band-Aid on the edge of ones finger or thumb interferes with EVERYTHING.

1. Awkward wrap causes limited bending movement in finger/thumb.
2. There's usually a little flap of bandage sticking off the top of the finger/thumb that gets really dirty.
3. About halfway through the day it feels like the 'aid is slipping off.
4. Can't text with a thumb bandage on.
5. No sense of feel in the wrapped area.
6. Once band-aid is removed, your finger/thumb feels like its been soaking in water all day.
7. It's not that 7 is a lucky number for me or anything, I just don't like ending on a number that is a multiple of 3 (unless the number ends in 5).

So that is my complaint against band-aids on the finger/thumb.

-Why is there not a application on Facebook called, "The Facebook Application, Application?"

My friend kindly pointed out to me that all app's and quizzes have star ratings, but who pays attention to those? Facebook quizzes and app's are taken because someone sees there friend took it, then they take it, their friend takes it, and a cycle begins; this cannot be denied. And sure some people will be kind enough to comment on the quiz or app by saying "It's the same answer each time," or even, "Haha I was just bored" (which really means, "I really wanted to see how good of a kisser I am based on a short questionnaire, but got a bad result and so I am laughing at myself, not this quiz").

So what can we do to solve this problem? We create "The Facebook Application, Application" an app that rates all quizzes and applications, based on reviews from the writers of "A Goofy Movie." This is a fool-proof plan; with this application the amount of time wasted on Facebook by the average user would go up at least 15%, because now people would be doing quizzes and app's that they would be interested in, thus they won't get frustrated with results like "You Die First In The Zombiepocalypse" (how was I supposed to know a bear wouldn't help in a zombie invasion?).

Well world, you had a problem, and this is my solution. Good luck putting it together, and I cannot wait to test out "The Facebook Application, Application."

A lot of people, when asked what they would do with a large sum of money usually have an answer that involves a donation. So let me ask; is it a want if you plan to give it away? If we want a million dollars, with intent on giving away half, don't we really just want half a million?
