I Can Hardly Stand To Sit Through This, I Can Hardly Sit To Stand Through This Either.

Hmm. I was sitting at work, a coworker points out that there are squirrels fighting outside. Turns out they weren't fighting, so I looked away for their own privacy. "Hey look! It's Animal Planet live!" sheesh, get a tree squirrels.

Spiders kind of creep me out, and the other day I saw a ton of those jumping spiders hopping through some really soft dirt, and I found it amusing that every jump they landed seemed to be on the edge of a dip in the dirt, so they would lose their footing and slide to the bottom. They didn't get anywhere fast, but I had fun watching.

Poor spiders.

I talk to a lot of people on days like this, they come into the office or they're on the other end of the phone, and it also makes me laugh (on the inside) and somewhat cringe mentally when they say, " I just had a question I wanted to ax." or "I want to ax you something." "There's something I want to ax you." "Can I ax you something?"

The answer is: "NO, I DON'T WANT YOU TO AX ME. HOLY CRAP THAT'S SCARY, DON'T TAKE ANOTHER STEP, I KNOW FENG SHUI."

Really? Drives me nuts. It's ASK, not AX. Not a horror film, there isn't supposed to be any blood of guts. Nothing. Just a question.

Okay, there are thousands upon thousands of Internet memes floating around out there on the World Wide Web. Who the heck comes up with those and how do they get so popular? I don't understand anything I guess. Maybe it's the Internet god, always looking down on us, always watching, like the Big Brother of the WHOLE WORLD. Or, at least the whole World Wide Web.

Hmm, well, actually, the whole SOPA thing, if that were ever passed, THEN it would be like Big Brother of the Internet. No me gusta.

Stephen King, his books are always fun to read. There's almost always some supernatural twist though, I'm waiting for the big moment of realization in the book I'm reading now, 11/22/63, I know it's coming, but I'm halfway through it (it's 842 pages, not including the afterward. Not nearly as big as Under The Dome which was over 1,000 pages, but still pretty big.) and I still can't piece together the little clues.

I hate when I'm reading a big book like this and there are insignificant characters that suddenly become significant later and you can't remember who they are so you have to leaf back THROUGH ALL THOSE PAGES to try and find them, I can't find the page I need and I have no idea who the person is. What a pain.

Well, now to get back to my reading and the nagging feeling that I've been having that something that was due today and I didn't do last night like I should have. I really hope that's just a feeling and not a reality.


I hated the dream I had last night.


¡Adiós!

Back To The Normal Weirdness

I am back, and better than ever! Then again, who knows? There's still enough time between now and when I fall asleep for the day to fall apart and for myself to not be fine anymore, but I am thinking positively!
Okay, so there was a family reunion not long ago, and I sold the painting in the post below in the auction for $240, which was a great surprise and boosted my confidence. However, that isn't what I wanted to say, at any gathering such as this there is always a huge fire (As well as stupid kids, who are part of my family but I don't know them, who like to mess with it and throw in a bunch of crazy stuff to watch it burn. not that I blame them, fire is very interesting to me too and it's hypnotizing.) and as I am sitting and looking at this huge fire, I see something tiny crawling near it on the ground. Oh, it's just a bug. Then it jumped onto one of the rocks surrounding the fire, Oh, not just a bug, a grasshopper. Then it jumped again. Right into the fire. RIGHT INTO IT. Stupid grasshopper, you had family and friends who loved you, why did you do that??? You will be missed, rest in peace. I hope you aren't suffering anymore...
If I had known that you were thinking of committing suicide, I would have stopped you. I thought you were warming yourself by the fire.

I didn't know grasshoppers were attracted to light, or heat, but hey, you learn something new everyday.

...Or you witness something and think you learned something from it, when really it doesn't mean Jack...poop...

I like to make a point not to swear.

Anyways, enough of this craziness. I was at church this past Sunday and the sermon started just like this, "I'm glad I can be here with you today to talk about fish." and being the person I am, I started laughing.

There was a message to that, I know there was, but I was too distracted thinking of how I should write about it in my blog that I didn't really listen. Something to do with fish I'm sure.

I was at a restaurant a while back, and I think the waiter was two different people. He would come out and refill drinks and whatnot, and not say a word, even if you thanked him. He would leave, come back whistling and talking, leave, come back and not say a word, and then come back whistling again.
I knew the song, I can't remember what it was now, and when he stopped whistling I continued it for him, expecting some awesome whistling contest, or maybe some harmony, and then some applause form the surrounding tables, but he didn't, he ignored me. Oh well.

How often do you get served my a whistling waiter? That even has a ring to it. I am honored to say that I have been.

And now I will stop procrastinating and start on a paper I have due tomorrow.

Good-day mate

Painting (Again)

Asian Wood (Mandarin) Duck!
That's all I feel like saying right now. Maybe some other time

Starting Over Again?

You bettcha. I didn't want to, but it seems like I have to start over again at college life, just like when I first got here. I've added another new years resolution, and I know I'm going to stick to it.

I've been thinking, I might create a different random blog for other things going on in my mind. I promised myself that I would not put anything that wasn't weird, funny, or just pleasant overall on this one, and a while ago I deleted some depressing posts because they do not belong, this is a good only blog, so why not a bad only one too?
But it will not be connected to this one in any way! If you ever ran across it you may never know, MUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Hehe.

College is back! I have two interesting classes, and two that I can hardly stand to sit through, and the two I can hardly stand to sit through are classes that I have basically already taken in high school and know already but I need them for my AA so I'm sitting through them, should be easy.

I've got a wedding to go to today, I'm one of the photographers! And then tomorrow, I have a family reunion to go to which should be fun! Not going home until Sunday, qnd then Monday is a day off! Maybe the weekend won't be so bad after all!

You know how people ask themselves what they want from life? Really they should just be focusing on what they get out of it. Want in one hand, poop in the other, see which you have more of. If you just want something from life, that's not going to help, you have to do the best with what you have! After you've done the best you can with what you have, then you can work to get what you want.

I cleaned out my old antique chest, lined it with paper not he inside, and put all of my art supplies in it, one mo box unpacked, and a very nice ace for my sketchbooks, paints, a pastels, everything! Plus a giant tiger sitting on the top of it, he guards it for me.

"Twitching tufted tail,
A toasty tawny tummy
A tired tiger." -Calvin from Calvin and Hobbes

I love those comics :3

It always takes me a while to get used to a shorter haircut, I reach back and I still freeze for a second "HOLY CRAP WHERE'S MY HAIR???" haha. It's almost been a month too! My poor brain, it's stressed out!

Well, off for a busy couple of days, enjoy the weekend everyone!

Stupid Questions Deserve Sharing

I have to admit that while I was not fully thinking, I asked my friend (who was showing me how to say unicorn in sign language) "I wonder how they translate TV in sign language" and as soon as it came out of my mouth I face palmed, and my friend looked at me and said "subtitles". I felt like an idiot, but it was hilarious, we laughed about it for a long time!

I've felt this strange need lately to just get up and leave, go somewhere I've never been, preferably on a bike, without telling anyone and without coming back, at least not for a long time. There's so much to see, so many places I've never been, and I want to see some of them!

Maybe I'll go to Shambles. It must be a nice place considering how many people say they have lives there.

I made a floating bookshelf, and I didn't ruin a book doing it, every time I look over at it, it makes me really excited, I have three more I want to make, and I made an instructable about it---> http://www.instructables.com/id/How-To-Make-An-Invisible-Bookahelf-Without-Ruinin/ it's pretty easy! Here's a picture!

Now my Harry Potter books really ARE magical!


I've been painting again, not much of a surprise really.

I've been sucked into a cartoon, my little brother and I have been watching it online, and I must say I'm in love with it, never did I think I would like it, but Adventure Time has hooked me.

What time is it? ADVENTURE TIME!!!!

Hehe

Necesito Practicar Español, Porque Mi Español Es Muy Malo

I don't know how I did it, but I found my lost blog! 
...It wasn't as fun as I thought it would be...but I found it so it doesn't matter!

I've been getting into paper art lately (lately being yesterday) and I have also decided (yesterday) to do something different with this blog, but I have yet to know just what yet. There is more painting I have to do, but I've been so distracted with paper I hardly got anything done with it, but I do have to finish fairly soon seeing as though it's being auctioned off at the family reunion to help pay for food and stuff (every family has to bring something for the auction, a smart idea really).

Did I wake up early this morning??? YES I DID. I sure feel good about that!

Okay, I know this may be a little late in mentioning, but the most used plants during the holidays are poisonous. Mistletoe, the plant you kiss under,  it's poisonous, it's almost like saying, "come here and kiss me under the poison plant, maybe while we're kissing one of the leaves/flowers/berries/whatever-it-is-that-mistletoe-has-on-it somehow falls and lands in your mouth because I never really loved you anyways, I love your friend, Bob." 
And poinsettias as well, let's surround the nativity that holds the newborn messiah with a bunch of red and white poison plants that look beautiful. The only things you really have to worry about eating those leaves (because it still amazes me that they are not flowers, just color changing leaves made to look like flowers) are small children and pets. They are beautiful though, I like them a lot.

Somewhat short, good morning!

Greeting The New Year

And of course, not getting much of a response from it. How rude.

Happy 2012, don't worry, I've been promised that the world won't end until I get a chance to meet The Wizard from Oz, so I'm sure we will all be fine for a while.

Good news, I found my wallet, or rather, a nice person found my wallet and then they returned it to me when I went back looking for it. Thank you nice person!

I've watched a lot of movies lately, and I always think it's odd that charcters miraculously live through deadly situations, everything is perfectly crafted for their impossible escapes, and although it's rather unrealistic for the most part, it only works because the characters are obviously not human. They only want you to think they're human.

I spent my New Years Eve at the happiest place on Earth, wondering why they would have America at the Epcot in America... Being the happiest place on Earth, I saw many a child having a hard time understanding that, but I promise most of them will never remember the trip because they were too young anyways.

The funny thing is, I went with my family and some family friends from out of town, and they were pointing out to me the "landmarks" in a funny way, "Oh look! See that fountain over there? That's where you threw that tantrum and we had to wait for you to stop crying before getting back in line!" luckily they weren't talking about me!

This is seriously lacking right now, but I will say a few more things:

The sunrise this morning, the first morning of the year, was beautiful. Why was I up that early? Because I went to bed around 10. I was tired and no, I didn't stay up 'till midnight and party.
My brain is not very creative right now so this post might actually be pretty uneventful.
Also, I give up too easily, so I have made a resolution to follow through with my resolutions this year.

Enjoy the last few hours of the first day of the new year. The last first day?



Dun dun duuuuuuuuuuuuun
