Distant Distractions

I am one of those people that get distracted extremely easily. It's nice sometimes but other times it just sucks. Not being able to focus while a teacher is giving instructions or explanations makes things a little bit more difficult, but keeping your brain entertained just by turning your head and watching the squirrel climb up the tree definitely has its benefits. Being distracted by little things keeps me on my toes at all times. The littlest things are usually distractions for me. I wonder why some people get so distracted while others just stay focused on something for hours and hours. If I get bored enough listening to someone talk, I can get entertained by little cracks or doodles on the desk I'm sitting at or on the walls near me. Distractions effect most people, but everyone gets distracted by different things. Some people get distracted by little things, some get distracted by large things. Some get distracted by both, like me. Hopefully I distracted you ;)

Tingling sensation and watering eyes, all for nothing.

Where do sneezes go? When you get that tingling sensation that is almost about to shoot through your nose and slobber shooting from your mouth. The tingle and the watering eyes is all of a sudden is gone.  How does something so strong just disappear? Maybe you swallow your sneeze or it just comes out slowly from breathing. Honestly, I wish that the sneeze would just come out. I hate getting all prepared to sneeze with my arm moving towards my face. Also standing there with watery eyes that are starting to slightly close, with a wide open mouth doesn't make you look like the most attractive person in the world. I wanna find out where those sneezes are disappearing to.

Only the nose knows

That thing right in the middle of your face. The thing that has two holes underneath of it. Yep, you guessed it... I'm talking about your nose. Noses are a wonderful thing to have. They help you smell those cookies that your mom is cooking in the oven or that terrible stench coming from down the hall where your dad just walked out. It helps you smell the good, the bad, and the completely disgusting. It can warn you from things and it can even help you move towards something. Everyone wants to be around something that smells good. The biggest thing I'm curious to know is, "what does your nose smell like?" Will you ever get to smell your own nose? It seems like the only thing you should be able to smell is the inside of your nose since it's right there. Do noses smell like flesh? Or do they smell like a delicious blueberry pie? We should be able to know what the inside of our noses smell like. It just seems like it's fair considering it's what helps us smell so much.

Social Society

Driving home from work, I was sitting at a red light. As the cars were driving across my path, my eyes wandered to the inside of the vehicle to what each person was doing. First, there was a silver shiny car, with a blonde haired woman sitting in the drivers seat. She was barely paying attention to where she was going she was so wrapped up in how she was looking. Her eyes were stuck on the rear view that she was looking at herself in. Her left hand was lightly touching the steering wheel as her right hand was combing through her hair, messing with her eyelashes and making sure she looked good. This blonde haired girl was obsessing over her appearance more than she was her safety and those around her. The next car that drove through the intersection was a smaller, dark green car. It was a younger, brown haired boy. His eyes were obviously looking down and then I saw it. It was in his hand. The touch screen cellphone was being played with while he was driving. For this boy driving past me, technology and being in touch with his friends at all times was more important than the red light that he didn't even know he was passing through.
