so i watched forrest gump a few days ago (last week?) and forrest gump said that his mum said that 'life is a box of chocolates, you'll never know what you're gonna get' or something that meant the same thing. and it made me think unnecessarily so:
i guess that didn't really make sense to me because i'm not the type of person who buys assorted chocolates. i really like chocolates of the same flavour to be in the same box. mainly because i hate the fact that i'm probably not going to eat like, half of the contents of the box because i don't like anything with nuts. and there are lots of types of nuts they put in chocolate: almonds, hazelnut, macadamia.
another thing? say a tom, dick or harry potter did buy a box of assorted chocolates, i really don't know anyone who closes their eyes and reaches blindly into a box of chocolates. and when he gets a random chocolate flavour, he says, 'oh hey! i got whatwhat flavour. i guess life really is like a box of (assorted) chocolates! yayz!'
besides, if you did like a particular flavour of chocolate so much, wouldn't you want to buy a box of chocolates that consisted of that one and only flavour?
you know what? forget it. i'm in one of my psycho BLAHHHHs word purge. but it totally get the rationale behind the statement though, life is a box of chocolates, you'll never know what you're gonna get. it's true. but maybe it wouldn't hurt to add the word 'assorted' inbetween the words 'of' and 'chocolates'.
