Blinds Out of Sorts

You know those blinds that have the wide seemingly woodish looking/feeling segments that flip up or down with relative ease? Ok well, I have a problem. These blinds can be (and often are) extraordinarily annoying in that when one just ONE of the segments decides to flip in the opposite direction of the others. It throws the entire set off balance. When I see this, it is like I can't be comfortable until I fix it. I could be in bed, 95% asleep- that time when you know you have about 5 more minutes of semi-consciousness left and blissful sleep will be taking over your body soon- when I glance at the window and see an upwards blind in a sea of downwards blinds. I am instantly awake and every fiber of my being is screaming "MAKE IT DOWN... MAKE IT DOOOOWN!!!" Obviously, sleep is out of the question at this point.

While there is a simple solution (ya flip it with yo finger) to the "uncomforming blind" I feel it is a waste of my time and energy to constantly be getting up and fixing them. I think, if we all try really hard, and with today's oh-so-modern and scientific methods, there is a way to permanently fix this problem. Someone should jump on this opportunity and then go on the show "Shark Tank" with your brilliant plan only to be told it's not so brilliant and have them eat you alive (not really. that's only in "JAWS." in this shark tank, they eat you alive with words. Pure, terrifying heart-stopping words). Not to get off subject, but this reminds of that time this guy appeared on that show with his "awesome invention" that consisted of baskets made of recycled chopsticks. Um. Excuse me? Chopsticks? Reeeeally? Who's bright idea was that: "hey, hey guys.. I think we should take these stick thingys out of the trash. I've seen people put gooey gunk food all over them and then stick them in their mouths like utensils. And and guys, it's so sweet cuz they're, like, some of them have like teeth marks and such because people chew on them when they get bored at the table. DUDE guys.. would it not be TOTALLY AWESOME if we made baskets out of these saliva-drenched extra large toothpicks? oh. yes. Up-top for genius-ness *high-five!" Ok but seriously, someone should hop on this blind-fixer-upper idea... think of the moneys! Think of the fame!

*twiddles thumbs*




Well, don't all jump up at once, please. Simmer. Simmer down. Really guys? You're going to leave it to me? Gee *enthusiasm reeking* thanks. Sigh. Oh well. It's not the end of the world, I suppose. But I will have you know, that if you happen to be around me and there is an out of place blind on a window in our room, I will not rest in peace until it's fixed.
