Up Late Again...

Studying and writing papers is getting old.
Like fast.
But, it's always a pleasant little surprise to be scanning facebook at 2 in the morning and find something funny.
One of my friends, I won't say who, listed in her profile that her favorite type of book is Christian Romance Novels.
I am horrified by the idea of this. It sounds like the single worst idea to ever come from a Christian author.

So I googled it.
Much to my dismay, I found this:

http://www.amazon.com/The-Best-Christian-Romance-Books/lm/1WKYIUWB1NZJ0

An entire category in Amazon devoted to horrible books. At least it's probably not pornographic like regular romance novels, but it's still probably unrealistic and theologically painful.
Alas, such is American Christianity.

Tag

I refuse to make my blog topics revolve around major holidays. That's cheap. I like to be more creative in my topics. No offense if you do, haha.

I think Facebook is vastly superior to Youtube. Of course I'm going to tell you why. This is a blog, duh.

Every time I look through some website that collects pictures or videos or stories by topic, I inevitably run into a video that shows some person doing something incredibly stupid that gets them hurt, whether it be a hurt pride or a very, very physical pain.

I wonder if these people know their shame is made public for all the world to see.
I am currently aware of about 3 videos that I am actually in on youtube. Most of them are inside jokes that would not entertain anyone who actually watched them without being there for the recording.

At least on facebook, you can tag people who are in video and pics, so they are made aware of this.

I wonder if the world is small enough or coincidental enough that the people who watch the videos of people being stupid ever, by some mysterious chance, see that stupid person in real life. I bet it happens.

In that case, person B, who viewed the video of person A, would already have a preconception of the character of person A, and probably not a good one.

So, just to make you paranoid, I wonder if you guys are in any youtube videos that could destroy your credibility as serious people.

Haha good luck finding them. I think youtube is up to about a billion videos or something crazy.

Running on Empty

I still want to use this thing, I promise.
I just had to take a hiatus from deep thought for a couple of weeks. It gets me into trouble sometimes.
Blog time now.

I noticed today how much my life is controlled by gauges.
Anything that measures how full or empty some item of mine is determines more of my course of action than I like.
Today alone:
-My car ran low on gas and I had to stop to get more.
-My cell phone battery died and I had to bring my charger with me to the library.
-My laptop battery died and I had to walk around campus with the screen turned off.
-My coffee maker ran out of water and had to be refilled.
-My printer cartridge ran out of ink and had to be replaced, very expensively.
-It also ran out of paper. Nothing should have more than one resource. Piece of crap.
-A McDonald's billboard on the highway told me that my "fry gauge" was low, which sadly really made me want fries.
-I know for a fact that my bike tire pressure gauge would read low if I tried to ride it.
-My Febreze bottle is empty, making me less able to combat the encroaching stench of J. Alvin into my clothing.

Every time something becomes empty, it makes me unable to do something. Emptiness takes away my power, it weakens technology, it signifies that work must be done before a device can be used again.

At the end of my day, as I thought of all the things I need to do before all of the trinkets around me would do my bidding again, I realized something that outweighs the joy all of technology could ever bring me.


I'm full inside.
