#We’ve Tried To

Yesterday on Twitter, in a lame attempt to find something to blog about, I came across the trending topic #We’veTriedTo. You know, stupid things everyone has tried, but won’t really admit out loud….

#We’veTriedTo spell Quadaffi Gadaffi you know that dead dude in Libya.

#We’veTriedTo close the refrigerator door slow enough we could see exactly when the light goes out.

#We’veTriedTo give Lindsay Lohan the benefit of the doubt, but now it’s just grab some popcorn and a seat and watch the train wreck.

#We’veTriedTo explain to our daughters who Punky Brewster is, and why their trend of wearing mis-matched socks isn’t exactly revolutionary.

#We’veTriedTo figure out why our +Klout score is important, and then figure out a way to increase ours short of retweeting our own tweets. (Best way to lose followers)

#We’veTriedTo understand the appeal of The Three Stooges, UFC, and Bud Light with Lime.

#We’veTriedTo explain to our daughters that high school drama is not life or death, when the same shit is happening on the internet day in and day out.

#We’veTriedTo understand what’s the point of a single glass of wine

#We’veTriedTo stretch a dollar further than even we thought possible

#We’veTriedTo explain economics and why we can’t just print more money to a 12  year old. And #We’veGivenUp.

#We’veTriedTo understand what Occupy Wall Street is all about, and what it is exactly they want to change.

#We’veTriedTo guess what kind of deal each of George Clooney’s “girlfriends” get because clearly marriage is never going to be an option.

#We’veTriedTo wish Ashton and Demi good luck and hope their marriage works when in reality we’re all sort of hoping she would just get the eff out of the way.

#We’veTriedTo have that die hard Cardinal faith that we’ll win this series in 7, when deep inside we’re all like Really boys, taking it to 7 games for effect and suspense right?

#We’veTriedTo get through school pick up lines without wishing we could stab someone in the head

#We’veTriedTo understand how some people make it through life day after day without killing themselves or someone else on accident

#We’’veTriedTo take up running as a form of exercise, but gave up when it got cold. (Fat is insulation, yo)

#We’veTriedTo ask the 12 and 14 year old daughters if they are going trick or treating this year.

#We’veAlsoTriedTo decide if 12 and 14 aren’t just a bit too old to trick or treat.

#We’veTriedAsALastDitchEffortTo convince said 12 and 14 year old daughters that I would just buy them a bag of mixed candy if it meant we didn’t have to do costumes and I didn’t have to drive them to a decent neighborhood that gives out great candy (and adult beverages to the adults).
