Ever since Forrest Gump immortalized the words, "Life is like a box of chocolates. You never know what you're gonna get," people have been comparing just about everything you can think of to life itself (ironically, it's common now for a box of chocolates to come with a label under the lid that tells you exactly what you're gonna get). I recently saw video of a guy who liked to play pool and he said, "Life is like a game of pool. When you find your shot you've gotta take it. You may have to walk around the table a few times, but sooner or later you have to take that shot." It made me think that we could probably compare anything to life in one way or another. In the shower (where I do my best thinking) I started to come up with some other things life is like. Now I'm taking a break from writing a thesis, so here are 15 things life is like.
Life is like a library. Even if you know exactly what you're looking for, you can get yourself lost.
Life is like a shower head. If you let yours get rusty you're gonna have stuff going every which-way until you dip it in some CLR.
Life is like a wristwatch. It keeps going 'round and 'round.
Life is like a notebook. The pages are blank until you fill them in.
Life is like a bottle of shampoo. When you're near the end it's no use shaking it up and down or banging it against the wall -- it's over, man.
Life is like checking e-mail. Most of the time it's boring and predictable, but when it's not it's awesome.
Life is like blogging. You can BS your way through a lot of it, but sooner or later you'll get found out.
Life is like taking a test. You can BS your way through a lot of it, but sooner or later you'll get found out.
Life is like wearing white after Labor Day. For most it's not terribly fashionable, but some people pull it off nicely.
Life is like God. You'll never fully understand it.
Life is like a woman. You'll never fully understand it.
Life is like working out. Sometimes you sweat.
Life is like eating vegetables. It can really suck.
Life is like winter time. Football.
Life is like politics. You don't have to participate very long to find some real jerks.
What else is life like?
