Pushing Daisies

I've been thinking a lot about the term "counter intuitive" and what exactly it means when:
a. People say it, and 
b. They know what they are talking about. 

So many times people just throw around these terms to sound like they now what is going on, and half the time if you really listen they make exactly zero sense and are really saying nothing. I do like the idea of the world creating scenarios that what we think is true, or would assume is true is the exact opposite of reality. Keeps us on our toes. But I do hate hearing that term. It's like when people used to constantly say "At the end of the day, what really matters is..." that was much worse. 

Today my back was feeling 100% and we went on a really long bike ride. Instead of sun worship, which I found made the sun go into hiding for a week in embarrassment, I focused in on some form of daisy weed. I have found absolutely nothing "counter intuitive" about my day so far. Except possibly others on the trail might have found my bike riding attire choice purposefully "counter intuitive"... a dress and cut off jeans with red Dolce Vita flats (in honor of the fact that I met the founder of Dolce Vita last night!!!). Everyone else on the trail was wearing serious bike riding GEAR. One guy that passed me was in some sort of spandex suit that was emblazoned with the starbucks label all over it, with a closer look I realized his bike was starbucks branded as well! I assume he is some sort of professional that is sponsored by starbucks, but it was intense. I felt like I was racing in the tour de france!!! I'm sure my dirt bike raised more eyebrows than his starbucks bike though...
