Crap.
Have you ever been watching something and thought, this is crap, but kept watching? I mean it isn't crap because it was risque but because the acting is sub-par, the plot is weak and the whole show is just ridiculous. I guess I just described every show on television, maybe that's why I keep watching. There's just nothing more out there and I have conformed into the mindless viewer producers dream about. Well, that ends now my friends. I am taking a fast from crappy television. Of course if I fail, life goes on.

Oh my goat I want to throw up
It's high time I let go of facebook so I don't have to face the reality of my age. I realize that at the age of 20 I am still young and am no dried up California raisin, but it's still hard to feel too young when the girl I sat next to high school is now pregnant with her firstborn. Great Gatsby! Married and Pregnant a mere two years after graduation! This is quite a blow to my concept of age. Then of course the marriages. As predicted more people, excuse me, girls of my graduating class have become engaged this summer. I guess that's life though, and as I always say life goes on.

Top three ways to further anger an irate person
1. Asking "What's wrong?" when the person clearly does not want to talk about it.
This one can be a little hard to detect unless you know the person well. Still, there are a few signs that can be seen in a lot of people. One of these signs is the hostile eyes. A person who does not want anyone to talk to them will have a angry look in their eyes that seems to say I dare you to talk, and if you do it will be your last words. Yeah, someone who is seeking someone to ask what's wrong doesn't look like that; they more have a pleading look that is seeking for anyone to rant all their problems to.
2. Seeking to fix the problem before the person is ready to calm down, especially if you are the problem.
If someone has been shooting flames out of their eyes in your direction all day it probably is not the best idea to talk to them quite yet, unless you're prepared for a) a lot of shouting and profanities or b) a response that sweeps over the problem and further angers the person in question. It's true you should probably try and see what the problem is if it concerns you personally, but be sure you choose a good time. The the best time to talk to someone is when you first see them the next time because you don't have the chance to do anything that would annoy them yet.
3. Assuming know exactly why the persons mad and telling them they are angry when they are not.
When asking someone why they are angry when they are not angry, the person may become mad. It is best not to assume you know what someone is feeling when it is not blatantly obvious because a) the person is really fine and not upset in anyway or b) the person was trying to hide the emotion which means they do not want to talk about it, which leads to point 1.
These are all just mild observations so it could not be true for everyone. Just keep it in mind you are dealing with someone who may or may not be upset. Of course if you forget, life goes on.

A sea of matrimony
For Lent I gave up facebook. On Easter night I signed back in. I innocently looked at the events I had been invited into and I will never be the same. There were 7 weddings that I was invited to, all of which are to take place this summer. 7 weddings. All of them I was connected to through the bride each of whom are my age, the ripe old age of 20. 7 weddings, 7 brides, leaving me as the president of the spinsters club. 7 weddings and these are not even counting the 2 possibly 3 that are happening this summer within my extended family and 4 other weddings of other acquaintances and friends of mine. That makes the total to possibly 14 weddings and this is not even counting the other engagements that are likely to happen as soon as the semester ends. I cannot believe it, I am drowning in a sea of marriage, relationships, and engagements. But that doesn't matter and my life goes on.

I guess I still provide entertainment
I was sitting in institute and my teacher asked how our relationship with Christ was different between when you were in primary and now. All I could think was that when I was in primary I use to tell jokes when I prayed. I don't do that anymore, I guess I figured that whenever God needs a laugh He can just take a look at my life.Not that my life is a joke, things are actually pretty good right now, in fact it's kind of boring. I better tell a joke when I pray next so God doesn't get any ideas. I mean I have no doubt that He has an excellent sense of humor it's just sometimes I don't always get the humor immediately when He tells a joke, but I do always laugh afterwards. You know what it's all good, some humor could be nice and regardless, life goes on.

Like I was there
Music is my drug. It can control almost anything about me. Sometimes when I listen to certain songs, melodies, or phrases it's like I am in the music, I am that sound. I am there where that music was inspired and discovered. I am transported somewhere beyond my life to places I've never been but feel so familiar.That's the power of music and that what makes life go on.

It's a shame I don't care
Well, decided that I should try and find out a bit about politics. That lasted about two seconds. Then I moved on to find out what political party fulfills my best interest. In one website quiz I turned out to be a libertarian. Looking at the actual platform of this party, I discovered they really don't care what anyone does as long as it doesn't hurt anyone. Yep, sounds like me. Life goes on.
