Thank Merlin it's Friday

Ahh, the end of the week. Feels good doesn't it? And this has been a fine day to end the week as well. Any day that includes delicious coffee, the creation of new Twinkie addicts, and love is a good day in my opinion. Which brings forth the question of why was your day awesome?

Leave me a comment telling me why your day was awesome (there always has to be something).

And now, since I currently have a lack of things I would like to talk to you about, we shall hit the random button on urbandictionary.com and find out what is random right now.

Pizza Bell and Taco Hut


"I'm at the Pizza Hut. No, no, I'm at the Taco Bell. I'm at that combination Pizza Hut and Taco Bell!"

Ah, the days of multiple fast food places at once. Pizza Hut/Taco Bell where you can get a taco wrapped in a pizza. KFC/A&W where you can put a biscuit in some root beer. Hot Dog on a Stick? All good.

Part of me REALLY wants to try a pizza wrapped in a taco followed by a toasted marshmallow milkshake. Yes, that makes me sound really fat. It's not like I'd actually do it. It just sounds like the taste orgasm of the century.

As you can probably tell, I am a nerdfighter. So I watch a lot of vlogbrothers videos and tend to quote/reference John Green. Get used to it, because I don't plan on stopping.

If you have no idea what I am talking about in this video, try watching this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lFORQHJpwdg

Comments, Randomness, and Questions


Yeah, comments. Those things I never get. Ever notice that little comment space at the bottom? I would really appreciate it if you went down there and left me a comment. It lets me know that you have been here so I know that people are reading. Also click around while you are here. Read part entries, feed the fish, click some ads.

I have found myself once again procrastinating. I have spent most of today watching Ninja Warrior instead of working on history homework. I am trying to write a book (a few in fact) and haven't written anything for weeks (although when I do I usually have a whole chapter in an hour or 2).

I'm sorry. Please if I have done anything to annoy you, hurt you, or anything else, know that I am sorry. I have realized lately there are a couple of things I need to work on. For example, I am way to violent sometimes. And I get in peoples faces to much.

Facebook... yeah. Remember when that used to be lame? What ever happened to that?

Why do I keep ranting about nothing in this post? Who am I asking? Why am I asking so many questions anyway? PLEASE IGNORE ALL QUESTIONS BEFORE THIS POINT.

BEAR IN A JAR! I got a little green bear in a clear jar today. Where do you think I should put him? Also, please comment telling me what you think I should name him!

Thank you people of Earth and Mars.

Klimpaloon!!

Klimpaloon, the magical old-timy bathing suit that lives in the Himilayas! My new favorite mythical-but-is-actually-real creature! He is so adorable. If you have no idea what I am talking about then you need to watch Phineas and Ferb: Summer Belongs to You! Fall into love with the wonder that is Klimpaloon. He is so awesome!!!

So yeah, this is a blog of me freaking out about my love of Klimpaloon. Don't take this has shameless advertising for Phineas and Ferb though. I just happen to really love that show.

Waiting

I have been waiting all day... and I am still waiting. No idea when I am going to stop waiting. This is horrible. And I thought waiting wasn't that bad before. Poor, naive me.

I've been waiting all day for the mockingjay.net Countdown to Mockingjay contest to show up for today. I am determined to win before it is over! Yesterday I actually had the first comment... but I panicked at the last second and put the wrong answer. So now I REALLY want to win today. Hence, I have been waiting all day since I woke up.

This sucks. I hope you all are having a wonderful day!

Time Travel and Zombies (and a little Schrodinger's cat)


While making a Google calendar the other day something rather interesting happened. I was trying to change an event to go from some time in December to about the middle of January. Well I apparently forgot to change the year of the end date to 2011 and was told "Sorry. You cannot make event end before it begins." At first I was confused, because I didn't realize that was what I was trying to do. When I realized I immediately wanted to respond "why can't I make an event end before it begins! Maybe I was time traveling!" I changed the year anyway and it when through fine but I feel really limited now that I know I can't set an event to end before it begins. Does Google Calendar never want time travel to be possible?

You know the term "the living dead"? Usually referring to zombies/inferi/etc? I got to thinking about this term and quickly realized it to be very incorrect. The term "the living dead" contradicts itself. If you are dead you can't also be living at the same time (unless you get into the whole Schrodinger's Cat theory, which I don't feel like getting into*). Zombies aren't even really alive anyway! They get up and move and stuff but they don't have a heart beat, they aren't warm, and they are still rotting like dead bodies do. Or at least that was my understanding of zombies. So why do we call them the living dead? The world may never know.

Maybe a better term would be "the animate dead" or "the dead who act living but eat brains."

I pray that you all survive a possible zombie apocalypse. Just don't get killed by a unicorn (WAY more dangerous).


*If you want to know more about Schrodinger's cat, read Will Grayson, Will Grayson by John Green and David Levithan. They explain it very well in there (even I could understand it easily.) You could google it and find a wiki or something but those are almost impossible to understand the theory through.
All I will tell you if that the cat might be living, might be dead, or maybe both at the same time. I wonder how the heck we are suppose to know there is a cat in there at all! You can't see it!

You'll understand that after you understand the theory.


"I think it goes you're living, you're dead, then you're undead."

(By the way, this was the awesome idea I had for a blog post that I said I had forgotten in my last post. I did forget it, then I suddenly remembered. Yay!)

Conversations

Have you ever stopped to think about how different conversations can end compared to how they started. Today I was talking about gay rights with my dad and somehow we ended up talking about book banning by the end. Somehow later we got on to Battlestar Galactica (please pardon me if that is spelled wrong. I'm a horrible speller and am not very familiar with the show).
So next time you start a long conversation, take a minute to stop and figure out how you got to the topic you are on by the end.

I had an EXCELLENT idea for a blog yesterday when I was laying on the couch half asleep. Of course I have now completely forgotten what the topic was, what I thought about it, or anything else for that matter. This happens to me a lot. If you know how to make it stop, please tell me.

Feel free to comment on this or any of my other posts. No one ever comments but it would make me smile if you did.

Also, feel free to feed the fish.

"My best friend is a person who will buy me a book I have not read."

Nothing.

So far I have not forgotten to write a blog entry any day since I started this blog back up... however, I am to tired to think of a topic for todays blog. There are some things I could talk about but my brain is not functioning enough at the moment to come up with anything really thoughtful or interesting.

So this is a blog post about nothing. I thank you greatly for taking the time to read it even though it is about nothing (as the title should have warned you.)

If you have the time to read a blog about nothing, entertain yourself with some good videos as well. Suggestions:
youtube.com/vlogbrothers
youtube.com/pogobat
youtube.com/meekakitty
youtube.com/5awesomegirls
youtube.com/starkidpotter

Yes. Lots of youtubers. I spend way to much time on the internet, okay!

Avada Kedavra!

This morning I logged into Twitter to get very excited seeing that "AVADA KEDAVRA" was trending. As a Harry Potter fan, this kind of thing makes me very happy. So I started thinking after seeing this that the killing curse is kind of like the equivalent of a gun in the muggle world. So that made me think do guns kill people, or do people kill people? I think unless your gun has been enchanted by some idiotic wizard then the gun can't kill people by itself. Someone has to fire it, hence meaning that people kill people. But could that person who fired the gun have killed the person they shot at without the gun? Maybe, if they were really determined. So I believe it is the gun AND the person.

Please note that when I titled this "Avada Kedavra" I was not killing/trying to kill you. I only thought it and I was not holding a wand. Trust me, I have no want to kill any of you.

Leave a comment on this blog post with your opinion: do guns kill people or do people kill people?

Tired

I would write more today but I have been typing all day. Stupid homework.

But I promised myself I would try to blog every day for as long as possible. So here I am, this is a blog post. It may be short, but at least I made one.

Lessons

Through out our lives we learn various lessons. Starting with the simple (e.x. the golden rule) and getting more and more complex as we get older. Today I learned that you will get tired very quickly if you try dancing while walking the dog. This should have been obvious, but I learned something just the same. Just as we should try to learn something everyday, I think we should find a reason why everyday is awesome (got the idea from youtube.com/5awesomegirls).

Today is awesome because... I remembered to make a blog post.

Another important lesson that I still need to learn is that procrastination is NOT GOOD! I've had trouble with this my whole life (a long with "do not talk in class"). I consider myself to be a master procrastinator. If procrastination was a sporting advent, I would get the gold medal. Unlike spelling, in which I wouldn't even place.

When I started this summer I decided I wanted to finish all the homework I had within 2 weeks. Now here I am, summer almost over, and I still haven't finished. Procrastination FTW. (By the way, this whole time I have been using spell check to fix my mistakes every time I wrote "procrastination." This was only the second time I got it right by myself. So today is awesome because I can spell "procrastination" without spell check.)
