Why didn't I think of that...

I'm always thinking. I'm always trying to come up with a funny catch phrase and hope they stick. I'm always tossing and turning at night in bed trying to think of amazing inventions to make a quick million. But time and time again, I will see a new product, a new commercial, a new website or hear a new catch phrase and think to myself, "Why didn't I think of that?!"

I pretty much thought the Sham-Wow guy was a genious, until I went on to TMZ.com and saw the pictures of the prostitute he beat up recently after a wild night in Las Angeles. But my new and latest fascination is this website TFLN.com I've discovered.

TFLN stands for "Texts From Last Night." Pretty self explanatory. People can just log on to the website and send in any funny texts that might have been sent the night before. And people will literally send in anything. It's a judgement free zone. I guess it has to be when you read about some kid named Adam texting his friend's mother for a booty call.

After reading pages and pages of entries, I found myself logging off SEVERAL hours later. It's flipping hilarious. The texts just do not get old.

I sat there staring at my computer and decided that I was 10% happy for finding this website of high comical value and 90% jealous I had nothing to do with it's existence. I found myself asking the same old question, "Why didn't I think of that!?" Needless to say I was again frustrated.

I think it's about time I start keeping a journal of my ideas and thoughts from now on. After all, I'm still convinced I came up with the idea for Facebook during a drunken conversation with my college roommates.
