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.

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:

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.)
