Meat and English

Well, the question I got today was a little strange: If there's no I in team why is there meat?
The only thing that I can think that would barely relate to this question is this... I noticed that it did there's and there IS. I guess I notice unimportant things like that. Also team and meat are the letters merely rearranged a little bit. Another thing is that the word meat itself was said aloud the question could be interpreted in a completely different way. One may hear the word and think meet rather than meat. Either way there is not an I in either word. Team and meet require at least two people. So in the sense of I, meaning by oneself there is no I in meat meet or team. This goes too far for most people. I love to share my thoughts. One of the reasons I started this was so that I could express my thoughts thoroughly without anyone laughing at me. I barely care what people think. I also love to analyze the English language, or any language for that matter. That is also why I like to read and write. It sure helps that I can type faster as well. I do enjoy using bigger words as well. I assure you these are my thoughts and certainly not copied from someone else's work. I have better things to do than copy and paste for something I chose to do on my own time.

Eyes Under Water

I have never written a blog before, but I love writing and talking about myself so I will start with a random question that I got when I started this. I was never afraid of drowning when I opened my eyes under water. I merely got annoyed when I couldn't see farther than a foot in front of my face. However, I have ichthyophobia. Yes, I am afraid of fish. No, I do not think that they will suck off my toes or anything. I would just prefer it if their slimy bodies were not next to mine. I went on a canoe trip with my family down a really gorgeous river. Towards the end my step mom and I had to get out of the canoe and swim it to the end. The water was about 20 feet deep and fish were everywhere. I tried to walk on water right then. I would only go to the beach knowing that there were no fish for a long distance. I love swimming in deep water a lot, but my fear of fish holds me back. I really wish that I was not afraid of something so irrational. I am missing out on some great opportunities. Playing in the sand is good though. My goal before the summer is over is to go to a beach. But this shall rap up my first post. Rest assured I have a lot to say.
