Inventions

Posted on May 8th, 2008 by admin

I really think that my key to happiness is inventing something that will make me ridiculously rich. I’m not here to say that money buys happiness, but let’s imagine for a moment.

First you have a great idea about an invention, that’s the easy part. Then you have to go through the whole process of patenting, production, blah blah blah. I know that it would be challenging and time consuming and all that. But just imagine after all that. You have a product that is raking in serious cash. You buy a new car, a new house, fill up your retirement fund, buy some toys, etc. Does that make you unhappy? Didn’t think so.

I had a seventh grade science teacher who swore that he thought of the double blade razor. I know that’s a random memory and I have no idea why he would have told us that, but it’s something that I always think about when I think of how great it would be to invent something. If only he had patented that double blade razor. He obviously wouldn’t have been teaching seventh grade science in po-dunk Michigan. He also had a lazy eye. You never knew exactly who he was looking at when he was talking. But let’s not turn this post into something cold and cruel.

Now of course we know that there are like twelve blade razors to get that close shave.

Throughout my 22 years, I’ve thought of a few inventions that I knew would make me some serious cash. I can’t exactly think of any of those at the moment, but I know that I’ve thought of some. Ya know when you’ve been watching commercials on television and up pops the very thing that you had thought of a year ago. I just need to capitalize on that.

Since I’m dating a brainiac engineer, I’m kinda sorta counting on him to think of some wonderful invention that’s going to allow us to retire and take up golf and tennis and other rich people sporty hobbies. Of course if he invented something it would be some super complicated technology based invention. This would be very different from mine as mine would be something like a shoe organizing system. We are so very different. I’ve even given T the option to collaborate with his bff G on an invention. It would have to be a good one since we’d be splitting the profits.

I just want to work for myself. I like my job, but I really need to do something that helps me earn money. Real money. I don’t really want to open my own business, that would be hard. But I could manage an invention and all the stuff that goes along with it. Someday… I’m going to work on that. I need to do some research on what the steps are once you have a brilliant idea.

If I think of a great invention…I may or may not tell you all about it. I know some of my readers, but not all of them. You might steal my idea!

Then again, maybe the lotto would be a better way to go. It is my birthday month. I might get lucky.

Side Notes:

I’d like to wish a happy birthday to my long time buddy Pete! Haven’t really seen him since high school, but it’s nice to know he’s out there enjoying his birthday in the wonderful month of May.
I’m watching the Real World right now. Yes, I’m super lame for it-but you know you watch it too. This guy Joey just went into rehab for being a psycho alcoholic. He chugged a whole bottle of wine plus some, started throwing stuff, and threatening people. He’s like a giant super buff douche bag that you can’t help but kinda like. Hopefully he can overcome that. His dad died of alcoholism. Scary.
T is still feeling crappy since his vaccinations. He doesn’t have a temperature, but he says his head feels hot and his body feels cold. Then again, he may just be using that as an excuse to not go to the YMCA.
There’s going to be a thing on our local news about the dangers of granite counter tops. Apparently some of them can emit radon. That’s all I know, but you might want to do some research and check it out.
Our friend G’s girlfriend (fiance) moved in with him today. They are so freakin’ nice to each other. I’m excited to see what they think about living together. But then again, they are super nice and wouldn’t tell us if anything was going wrong anyways. I of course, wish only the best for them. And I really do think that you should live with your significant other before getting hitched. You really get to know someone when their body hair is all over your bath tub, their dirty dishes are in the sink instead of the dishwasher, and their dried toothpaste grows fuzz in your sink because they don’t know how to rinse the sink out. Love you guys!
