Today's ultimate buzz phrase: Professionally recommended anti-carbon aluminum-grade wind panels, black water-free
Right now, in California, it is duck season AND rabbit season.
Actually, it's rabbit season year round. So, Bugs has a tougher time.
Hmm, What If... The fountain of youth was a geyser?
Hmm, What If... The fountain of youth was a volcano?
Hmm, What If... The fountain of youth was an asteroid?
Hmm, What If... The fountain of youth was a well?
Hmm, What If... The fountain of youth was a single loaf of bread?
Can you imagine how much that would sell for, and how much people would kill for it? 1 load of bread, each slice is enough to provide you with eternal life. Oh, what if the bread got moldy? That would really suck, if there were immortal fungi. I wonder if we would enter WWIII for the capture of the bread. It seems unlikely, since it would be too easily eaten by the host. Haha, what if the bread gave you an infinite lifespan, but made you forever thirsty? That'd be ironic.
What was Pandora's first words after opening the box?
Cf. Verdenius, p.65. "This does not imply she acted from malice. It is true that she had a shameless character (67), but the fact that she quickly put on the lid again (98) shows that she was 'surprised and frightened by the results of her actions."
If I opened the box of evil, I'd probably be surprised, too. I mean, one would assume illness and toils bellowing out of a box would have some kind of visual clue of the terribleness. Though, sickness is pretty invisible to the eye. You know what, the box most likely had a horrible smell coming out of it. It would make a lot of sense, since bacteria can be pretty stinky. Also, stench is the number one reason a person would promptly re-seal a jar.
So, they say the bottom of the box lay hope, which also make sense in terms of viruses and microorganisms. I mean, we use those things against themselves in the form of antidotes and vaccines.
Still, it was a pretty ugly move of Zeus to give Pandora a box of pathogens. That's biological warfare. That's unfair.
Then again, if I were Zeus, I'd also be a jerk and give a hot girl a jar of human suffering. Right.
So, over the past couple of years, I've joined a couple of clubs at school. Since then, I've risen to the ranks of various officer positions. My job usually involves mass emailing people. This puts me in a weird position, as I am semi-famous by name, but not necessarily by face. I'll tell you, it's a little odd introducing yourself to people who've already know you. I guess it's partly my fault, since my updates often include some of my personality. I do that to try to give "that other mass email" a little bit of character. Anyway, so by the time I get to know members, they already have an idea of what I'm like. The weirdest thing is that I have no idea what they are like. They already have expectations of me, so they act very casually towards me, which is cool, but it's also strange to be buddy-buddy with strangers.
Oh, so, if I've just met you, and you just read that, know that you're an exception. I think you're a pretty cool individual with a name that should always be capitalized.
You should know by now that I'm kidding. I don't harbor any prejudice against people, except for hobos.
Uh, right. I think, well, I may have already mentioned this, but, I use too many commas. In fact, I'll use, like, commas in places that totally don't need commas, lol.
Actually, I know I've mentioned that before. I just wanted to remind everyone that I am comma happy. Though, if you use too many commas, I'll judge you for having poor grammatical skills.
In Matlab, I use too many parentheses. Same on my graphing calculator. It gets so confusing that I have to stop and use my pencil to mark which ones pair with which. The end part of my calculator entry will look something like this: *(3/4))))))
I want to write a book that has lots of pictures. I'll add audio to the book to make it more engaging.
There's a big discrepancy between what goes on inside and outside my head. In my mind, I'll have this vision of what something will look like, or how it should be phrased. However, by the time things get out of my head, I'm just left with a bunch of hair. Haha, but seriously, when I start working on something, the end result is totally not what I imagined it to be. And yet, I conclude the project to be a success. Like for example, if I wanted to create a picture, I'd have the image painted in my mind. Then, I'll start working on photoshopping things together. By the time I'm done, the photo is totally different from my original mental image.
I think it's mostly attributed to my, for a lack of a better word, laziness. You know how water takes the path of least resistance to get from point A to point B? Well, I do basically the same thing. It's just that at each fork, I deviate further and further away from the point B I'm trying to approach. Ultimately, I land at point C. Point B's only purpose is to give me a direction... like a vector.
OK, next topic.
My Xbox 360 got the red ring of death. I sent it in to be repaired for free, and its now on the way back. Problem solved.
My friend owns me at Hexic. So, I started playing really slowly, and she'd get bored and walk away, leaving me with an opportunity to win. Problem solved.
My day was interrupted by some guy with a clipboard asking if I had a minute to talk about his passionate organization. I tricked him into thinking that I had already talked to him earlier, resulting in him happily apologizing. Problem solved.
My bathroom had a huge cricket in it. I asked my roommate to kill it for me, and he eventually did. Problem solved.
My throat started to feel sore. I drank a lot of water and then slept it off. Problem solved.
My computer's fingerprint scanner stopped working. I reinstalled the drivers multiple times, applied various patches and tools, and finally gave up. Problem ignored.
Haha, does no longer acknowledging the existence of an issue count as solving a problem? This machine is producing too much pollution. Turn it off. Problem.. solved? The machine can totally be fixed, which would make the factory run far more efficiently; so, doing that would be truly solving the problem, right? I am not sure.
Who wants to get rich slowly?
There's no secret message in this post.. or isn't there?
You Know What Would Suck?
If you slipped on a banana and fell into a sea of attacking jellyfish.
You Know What Would Suck?
If someone made millions off of your personal catchphrase and used the money to hire lawyers to keep the money away from you.
So, in movies or TV shows, people get hit by buses all the time. It's an overused plot device that adds an expected twist to an otherwise normal day. However, there is never any focus on the bus driver. Nobody cares that there is a driver freaking out. No one ever blames the bus driver to hitting the petal to the metal all the time. Also, if a character is inside a bus, there is an infinitely smaller chance that said bus will hit any pedestrian. The probability of getting hit shoots way up when any character is walking on a street. It doesn't matter which street, either. Busy New York roadway? Bus burning rubber. In front of a corporate office? Bus zooming through. School zone? Bus flooring it.
"Happy Turkey Day" is a peculiar thing to say. It's never resonated with me as having any meaning. At least "Happy Thanksgiving" reminds me of family, gratitude, and sharing. Happy Turkey Day almost has a tint of greed laced into it. It's like, "Have a great time gorging on a dead animal." It's like saying "Merry Tree Day" instead of "Merry Christmas." So, word of advice, don't say "Happy Turkey Day." It is not clever, unless said by a young child.
A little kid saying "Merry Tree Day" is just adorable, though. Anyone else trying to pull that off will just look stupid and will be ignored.
I'm only bitter, because I didn't come up with "Happy Turkey Day," first. I may be hypocritical and start using "Merry Tree Day," actually. The more I think about it, the funnier it gets.
"Mommy, it's Santa!" "Ho ho ho! Meerrrry Tree Day!" "Wtf."

You're having a really good dream, but you also really need to pee.
Possible Outcomes:
1. You use all your powers to hold it until the dream comes to an end, and you can safely wake up.
2. You run to the bathroom and then try to fall back asleep in hopes of seeing how it ends.
3. Your dream takes you to the bathroom and suddenly the bed warms up.
