this blog

A friend has wondered how I could fall off the face of [blog]earth. Well, I wasn't feeling very inspired, and I have been doing other stuff. This blog had no clear direction, and maybe that was my problem with it. There no goal or theme, and that made it difficult to stick with. I guess it doesn't really matter though. It was always just me writing about whatever I wanted when I felt the urge. That may not be relevant to anyone else BUT me and I'm ok with that because it gives me something to do.

So some random things I have been doing,

I jumped off this bridge the other day, .
I jumped from this little ledge which climbing down to was the scariest part. It was 25 feet from there. There was a 30 foot option and a 60 foot option. Good job for people trying those out.

I ran a 5k in Buccleuch Park in New Brunswick and won first place in my age group and a received a sweet trophy for my efforts. Time is not where I want to be right now, but it's a good start. Here are the results. This is the same park where I tried out for the Rutgers Cross Country team almost six years ago. I am trying to get back in shape because running well is what makes me feel my happiest and most successful.

I thought of an idea for a book which would be titled, "The Three Month Apology." I realize now the title may be misleading, but I sort of like misleading titles. It will be about taking people for granted and realizing it too late (read:ex-boyfriends).

If you want to visit a creationist dinosaur museum in Kentucky and laugh till you die, go here. Accept Jesus as your savior.

Oh and this,

Can you believe my mother alerted me to that last video?! I emailed the video to my older sister who lives in Groton, Connecticut, and wrote, "she is pretty decent at interneting." My sister replied, "'she is pretty decent at interneting' the ultimate compliment from a tech-savvy young person." HA!

"AMEN"

The Bible is the word of God through the word of human beings, speaking in the idiom of their time,and the richness of the Bible comes from the fact that we don't take it as literally so that it was dictated by God.
-- Archbishop Desmond Tutu, Nobel Peace Prize Laureate

Yes.

Google young me now me.

Funny No Matter What Your Politics Are...

So my mom just told me she sent a tea bag to 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, Washington, DC.

Get it?

current economic downturn=

emo-conomics. Consumers do not have confidence in the market and that makes them sad. Sad people do not invest or buy things. The end.

"art"

URBAN CAMO! Artists are funny.

internet

I wish I could stop going on it. I can't stop. I don't know what else to do.

Some things...

In the depth of winter, I finally learned that within me there lay an invincible summer.
-- Albert Camus




Things will probably be ok, but till they are, I'm going to passively whine about it on the internet. Bought a plane ticket to TEXAS!
When I get there, I'm not coming back.

The Last Lecture

"It took a long time, but I finally figured it out. When it comes to men who are romantically interested in you, it's really simple. Just ignore everything they say and only pay attention to what they do."
_Randy Pausch

major lulz

Well, it is true.

Thanks JK for having this as your away message. Hilarious anecdotes about crappy often ironic things happening to regular people.


Here is an example:
"Today, the girl I love and I went to visit my parents out of state for the first time. My father grinned and acknowledged that she was a "keeper", at which she laughed and said we were "just friends". I was going to propose to her next week. FML"
-william

"Today, I looked at the facebook of the girl I really liked, and I saw she wrote on her friend's wall "Last night was the biggest mistake of my life." We hooked up last night. FML"
-yeahwhatokay

Here is one that happened a few weeks ago to me:
"My grandma asked me, "Do you think people should tell their vegetarian friend that they used chicken broth in the soup they served them, and did not realize it?"
I responded, "Yes, of course."
She said, "Well there was chicken broth in the soup that you just ate."
I am a vegetarian. FML

We live in a police state, and we are the police.

these days...

MYSPACE

Remember the good ol' days when Myspacers kept getting comments saying, "YOU HAVE WON A FREE MACY'S GIFT CARD!"? That was so hilarious! If you somehow acquired the virus, you then would make an obligatory bulletin apologizing for spamming everyone's wall.

Myspace is dead. It has come to its inevitable end. RIP. When will I get the courage to delete it?

Sling Blade

I was half doing homework while watching Sling Blade today. I couldn't resist. It was a lot different watching it now as opposed to when it came out 10 years ago. One part really caught my attention...
Karl Childers (Billy Bob Thornton) says to the mother and son's gay friend Vaughan Cunningham,

"I don't reckon you have to go with women to be a good daddy to a boy.
You been real square-dealin' with me. The Bible says two men ought not lay together.
But I don't reckon the Good Lord would send anybody like you to Hades."

I know it's just a story but it's amusing to me that someone who is mentally retarded has figured out that gay people aren't going to hell because of their sexuality but most of the world hasn't figured this out. Maybe they don't want to admit that something they are supposed to believe in is wrong. Maybe they feel like if they decide one part of the Bible is wrong, they will have to say it's all wrong.

To the people who think it is a choice: Why would someone choose to be something that everyone hates? That's just an idiotic theory.

And if there is a God, I don't think he would make people a certain way and then tell them to be something else. I also don't think God is the way humans have represent him. I don't think homosexuality is a perversion of the way things "should be," I think that people pervert what God would want of us. Why would God carve out a specific group to hate? Maybe it says we are not supposed to condemn others in the Bible but when it is specifically carved out the homosexuality is a sin, what do you think is going to happen?

Why does there always have to be someone to hate?

RUNXAMERICA

If you want to be the fastest unsupported person to run across America, you have to run it in less than 71.27 days.

Martin Ilott completed the journey from Huntington Beach, CA to Central Park in NYC, NY averaging close to 46 miles per day with the total mileage being 3,260.

http://planetultramarathon.wordpress.com/2007/06/21/ilott-completes-fastest-run-across-americ

I would like to do this one day. I have to figure out how to train enough, take more than two months off from work, and not die. Only a certain kind of person can be an ultra-marathoner, and I am not sure if it's for me.

DENY/Doubt

I knew there were Holocaust denialist but not AIDS denialist
. They question HIV being the cause of AIDS.

I saw Doubt. Please save your money although Meryl Streep cry-yelling the word "doubt" at the end is alllmost worth it. lol.

2009

I have to run more. Need some muscles.
This year I hope to get a sweet job and find my niche in the legal world.
I want to try to be a better friend. I want to find the balance between being honest and being offensive/rude (is this possible?).
I also want to send more letters which I have been slacking at over the last few months.


Polar Bear Plunge next month. I'm really looking forward to this because I suck in the cold so it will be especially challenging for me.
Uggs everywhere but I'm almost getting used to them.
My mom is hoping for bad weather on January 20th for Obama's inauguration.

and RIP Sparks which is "fundamentally dangerous." Yes, but I like it.
