(Big grin!)

Have you noticed… the most clichéd thing to say these days is…
“Now of course I say this at the risk of sounding clichéd…”
or
“I know I’m capitalizing on the cliché but don’t you think…”

What’s wrong with clichés anyway? They’re good man… they’ve stood the test of time… (said with a deep reverberating voice and nose in the air, for the sake of the clichés of course … since they don’t have noses of their own…)

… So a lot of people agree about a lot of things and end up saying the same things in the same way and often about the same thing at the same time…(now that’s an original sentence!!)

(Grammar?… who grammar?)

As if by saying “I don’t mean to sound clichéd…” they somehow make what they are saying more unique and ORIGINAL.

Originality also I think comes highly overrated… simply because if you shut up and listen, you will realize that most people (including those who seem to vehemently disagree with each other) for a good part of their life are trying to tell you the exact same thing…

Yup! So do that… go listen to those people…

……………and stop looking at me like you expect me to start making sense.

‘hic! :D
