198 Entries for “practical”

  1. Things that are practical are not always fun. Practical makes me think about things that have no intrinsic fun value. Insurance in practical, but it’s not the most fun thing to get. School can be practical and fun, but it drives us all crazy at some point or other. Work is practical and seldom fun unless you love your job.

  2. I suppose as you grow up, you’re meant to become more practical, but I just can’t seem to get rid of drama. It gets to the point where I’m stressing over what to have for dinner, which is stupid really, because I’m just going to eat it anyway.

  4. things are not always practical. Snowplows for example. They are huge and are only useful three to five months out of the year. Any other time, they just make it difficult for the driver to drive. Frivolous things are not practical. Most people keep fish or pets, but these cannot always fall under the realm of practical. Pets make messes, cost money and you get too emotionally attached. They are the opposite of practical. Nothing that causes that much trouble could be practical or anything near it.

  5. Sometimes things in life are more practical than we think. I don’t think that we give enough credit to all the practical things in life. To often we get so caught up in things that could be instead of what is.

  6. This is a complex word. We see things as practical as having use in the world and society today. However, there is a lot of debate as to what is practical and what isn’t. As an English Education and Theatre Performance double major, I am often considered impractical. However, there are many such uses for both of these things in society.

  7. I have never been described as practical. I can see why not.

    That’s all I have to say about that.

  8. was it practical to let her drive every time she needed to go out and hang with her friends? was it practical to let her drive to school in the morning with me in the side seat? I do not know. Was it practical to think that she would learn well as long as I stayed calm and collected? Was it practical?

  9. “What’s with the bag?” Jon asked Lily as she came running down the street, shirttails flapping.
    “I just thought I’d be prepared,” she said, giving him an annoyed look.
    He rolled his eyes and off they went.

  14. It wasn’t practical to be in his bed at 4:00 AM on a Thursday night, but that’s exactly where I was, wide awake, and staring at the ceiling. I could hear his breathing next to me, rhythmic, almost soothing… But I was anything but calm.

  15. I don’t consider myself as being practical. I think I tend to waste money on things I don’t need and go out to eat more than I should. I think this is prac

  16. Boring. Practical is the epitome of following your head and not your heart. It is forgetting all your basic intuition and going the safe route. Taking the job that will pay the bills rather then the one that will nourish your soul. It ensures your future at the expense of your life

  17. sheets maids. mothers children “mature” straight tucked sheets. no sparkle no feathers no flavor no joy. potatoes rocks modesty starched linen sheets.

  19. i wish i was a practical person. i wish i could think with reason and clarity and always do what is best and logical. but i think with my heart and i react accordingly. i react, that’s the problem, i simply move and do without thinking, move and do what my heart tells me, not what i probably should.

  20. practical is a pretty neat word. i use alot actually. like “hey guys lets be practical” or maybe ill say it on accident sometimes like oh this requres some practical depreciation…instead of fractal….and then fractal gets really jealous like why did you say practical like is practical on your mind? you been cheatin on me or what? i can smell that whore’s perfume on you.

  22. It’s not practical to think with your heart
    the muscle with which you leap and run
    through countless thoughts of romance
    it’s comical, come to think about it
    that that one, blue-red beating bagpipe
    is capable of feeling such emotions
    as feeling swept up with the flow of things
    the literal through your veins flow of things
    in the form of the heart being set aflutter.

  23. This was no practical in any sense of the word. But honestly, it was cool. There was nothing like a pair of gloves that’s inside was interwoven with thousands of tiny magnets. Thousands of them! The electromagnetic field was powerful enough that I could wipe a computer just by touching it! That’s actually what happened too. I’m still sore about that.

  24. Everything has its practical use; what it was made to do, but some have more than others. As technologies increase it seems that the amount of practical uses increase.

  25. It’s just not practical to accuse someone of murder when you have no evidence, no proof, no eye witness; even though you know, you know for sure that he killed him. He killed the dog, you’re as sure as you could be.

  26. In the practical world, one would simply tell the person how they felt. But I was never one for practicality. I prefer to torment myself in ways that a masochist would cringe at. Why do I insist on doing this to myself. Because I’m a fucking wreck I guess.

  27. Professor Morrison spent eighteen years researching via physics, optics, and metaphysics to come up with an answer to the question. With the aid of an electron microscope and a team of research engineers doing extensive analysis of the data, he was able to count 16,837 angels dancing on the head of a pin.
    His thesis contained only 4 words: “That seems hardly practical.”

  28. “Practical? Since when is anything practical?” I asked him. He shook his head at me and walked away. And I knew even this wasn’t practical. Though he said it was. So I’ll sit here and wait for the world to make sense again. I know though, that it never will. Not as long as I was alive.

  29. “Practical? Since when is anything practical?” I asked him. He shook his head at me and walked away. And I knew even this wasn’t practical. Though he said it was.

  30. Being practical can suck it. It’s doing what everyone expects. Its society’s way of saying “Follow our rules”. Being practical is being that middle-class white family that actually eats dinner together, and laughs together at cheesy sitcoms. Never be practical.

  31. It’s not very pratical when you think about it. Nothing is. This whole world we’ve set up around us isn’t practical, and yet we think it is, if we wanted to be practical we would not have invented the term. Our lives would be much simpler that way. But we’re human, ahhh well

  32. I’ll tell you whats practical. This website. Its simple, direct, involves communication with other people without through for consequences or success. I think this is a very practical site. Hell, id go so far as to say that time bar at the bottom is even more practical. Its like a flower blooming that follows your words on the screen and makes them feel the pain of death. Whats the world going to be like without practicality. We create practicallity. Once we die, its all up to the universe. Good

  34. I’m far from practical. I can’t do anything, honestly. I’m trying to cook but it fails. So instead of taking classes I sit here, on the internet and type type type.

  36. Practical. That’s what they called it. So when I tried to do it the real way they said it was stupid. But no one notices the world anyway.

  37. it was practical really to choose max but emma knew that really she should be with another boy, a better boy, someone who actually loved her. it wasn’t that hard really she’d just have to go out and do it. and she had every intention of doing it. she knew she would. she just wasn’t entirely sure when. max was just what was practical who she Should be with, so she was with him. No matter how much it hurt her. she’d just always thought she could do better. she’d always thought that she was worth more. then again, maybe she wasn’t. maybe max didn’t even want her. what if she was just what was practical for him.

  38. practicality is one of the worst things to happen to someeone. when you start being practical, you lose your sense of originality and creatitvity, and eventually you become boring and no one wants to hang out with you.

  39. that which makes sense. perhaps it doesnt but it always does at the time. it is logical, rational, and should always lead to a better future. at the same time, however, shit happens. what can you do but act on your heart and look towards a brighter day.

  40. Practical is something that you can not feel emotion for and still use, like a sugar daddy. Sp here I am, snuggling up to a major shareholder in a generic fortune 400 company to use him to get me enough capital for something big, something more than being a gold digger, all without feeling emotion: very practical.
