Well i don’t understand how tecnollogy works either!! I get really confused about religions too… It’s like Christians believe in God, Muslims in Allah (am i right?) so who’s real????
And if God created earth… Who created him? If he came out of nowhere, who created out of nowhere??? And how does ANYTHING exists??? Holy shit.
Also i don’t understand mainstream music lovers and haters. Whatever music you like… Don’t obsses over it nor hate what others like! I don’t understand WHY do they teach us at school stuff I’m 99.9% sure I’ll never use, don’t understand how cinema 3D was first than TV in color… I don’t understand anything xD

I wish I could lie but pandora.com was playing Jack Johnson while I was reading this lol. I’m learning how to play the Uke and well, chilling at the beach always sounds good, and if it is easy to play and learn the words or just say gibberish then I’m down for it. hehe

Great post, Jamie.

I don’t understand people with bad attitude, and I mean BAD in a NOT COOL way. The type that frown the whole f***ing (excuse my word day and go around talking totally RUBBISH about other people.

[...] reflects (hilariously) on the things she doesn’t understand. To that list, I will add cars, currency and foreign exchange, and the Middle East. Seriously, [...]

I’ll second that on Russia. I (shh) love geometry, though admittedly, never use it.

I don’t nor ever want to understand those who surround themselves with constant negativity; whether it be thoughts, people, etc. Nope, not for me. There’s a lot I don’t understand, but now, at my desk, it not the time to ponder such.

xoxo, miss you, Lady!

This is one of those moments when I would just pat her head and say “aww, you’re so pretty.” Your post may qualify for another one of those moments.

Somebody already mentioned politics, and that for sure is one of mine. It’s like I understand what I believe/support IN MY HEAD, in the magical dream world that is my head but if you try get me to explain why I support whomever or whatever, I suddenly lose all control of the English language and/or logic. And it makes me mad because I feel like I’m dumb or I don’t care about the country or the WORLD or BABY SEALS BUT I DOOOO, I just…don’t get it. And also…it’s boring.

My other big thing is numbers. Not just math, although, HOO BOY, math is retarded and stupid, and I can say that because it makes no sense to me. But I swear, I have this learning disability called Dyscalculia where your brain basically is like “Numbers…FUCK!” and can’t process them, because honestly, I really, really have a hard time telling time. Consistently. I, like you, consider myself of the above average intelligence but Jesus, time or basic math or JUDGING distances and all that is too hard for my poor little brain.

For anyone else wanting to blame their math/numbers problems on a real disability:
