You guys are freaking psycho. Honestly. Which is why I like you.
I thought of you when I read what John Beck said after he was benched last week. He said, and this is no lie, all of the following in the same sentence:
"backs against the wall" "the road is rough" "I have to keep fighting"
For some reason I think of my 10th grade drivers ed teacher but I can't for the life of me remember his name. Remember he coached baseball and then got fired or something? Please tell me you know who I'm talking about. Anyway, he was obsessed with one of those cars...can't remember.
We are a people of phrases and sayings. Sometimes it seems that everything we say is just a series of pre rehearsed one liners. So much so that even the words "that is so cliche," have become cliche. We force these words out when we talk to acquaintances, people we are trying to impress, and sometimes people we know well. We have all said them, we continue to say them, and even when it's brought to our attention like this, we will continue to say them. We'll also continue to get the same reaction from our audience. A courtesy laugh or a simple nod in agreement that they perfected the first 1300 times that they heard the same words. I introduce to you a video blog series highlighting many of these cliche sayings. There's no way that all of them will be covered, but I would encourage you to check back often. This will be updated as often as possible. There could be a new one every couple of days or every couple weeks depending on demand and time available. Please leave comments and let me know what you think.
