What might be true though, and this is pure conjecture, is that boys are less engrossed in what they're thinking about in real time (because what they're thinking about, mostly, is something so trivial to them that "nothing" seems like an apt reply). Girls, on the other hand, are probably more actively involved in their thoughts, or mostly think about things that are important, or at least important to them. Again, I have no first-hand experience being a girl so this is just my guesswork in trying to rationalize what must be obviously credible findings borne out of rigorous diligence and research by the serious journalists at Elle.<br /><br />Thank you for your compliment. I'm glad (although also surprised) that you see value in the words on this url.Caladriushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01112421306254066971noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4611409145460031631.post-7382183318902666222015-06-30T16:04:37.524-04:002015-06-30T16:04:37.524-04:00Let the video thumbnail be, I'd say.

If anything, it brings out a sense of wonder, which is quite childlike and endearing. <br /><br />Well, one naturally gets entwined in a conversation with other people (unless he or she wants to intentionally zone out). I meant finding small pockets of nothingness in one's head, more so when no-one is around. Several well established meaningful journals like Cosmo or Elle or the website which lists everything in top-10-things-about-a-random-subject, have led me to believe that men have mastered the art of whiling away time, not thinking. If a guy is sitting by himself and someone enquires, "what are you thinking?", to which he replies with a good natured, "nothing", one must believe it. This to me is incredible and supremely baffling. I have never experienced this "nothing" world, except maybe when I am singing. <br /><br />I think I will blog on your comment section. This is as good a place as any and I have never been shy of extending my uninvited presence. <br /><br />Congratulations on completing 10 years. Your posts continue to dazzle and be confounding for your readers.

A very small fraction of these conversations are great, but I've still accumulated a sizable inventory. <br /><br />On getting to quiet myself, all I can say is I've never consciously tried that so I don't know how hard it is. I'm always quite happy to halt my conversation with myself whenever anyone else comes knocking and start one with that person, so I guess it shouldn't be as hard as it is for you.<br /><br />I never realized I'd completed 10 years of blogging last month until you wrote this. And my first thought when I read this was: so much has changed in 10 years!Caladriushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01112421306254066971noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4611409145460031631.post-13826605038213477472015-06-27T18:58:46.343-04:002015-06-27T18:58:46.343-04:00Your sky diving video (and thereby your face) fare...Your sky diving video (and thereby your face) fares well in general, although disappoints by not being funny enough. Sample this - <a href="http://youoffendmeyouoffendmyfamily.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/ils-11287.360.640.1.jpg" rel="nofollow">Classic Sky Diving Face</a><br /><br />Changing thumbnails on YouTube is easy peasy.<br /><br />To upload a custom thumbnail for an existing video:<br />Go to your channel Video Manager.<br />Locate a video and click the Edit button.<br />Click the Custom thumbnail button and upload a thumbnail.<br />Once the thumbnail is uploaded, don't forget to click the "Save Changes" button.<br /><br />Some of the best conversations I have had over the years, have been with myself. However, getting to quiet myself is a different ball game altogether. How has your experience been like with that?<br /><br />10 years of blogging! I feel like I should post something somewhere sometime too.<br /><br />PS: I had no idea leaving comments on blogger have become this painful. Lost this comment thrice.
