Random Thoughts of the Day

Disclaimer; I do not take credits for any of these - I got them off an email. :D

Nothing sucks more than that moment during an argument when you realize you're wrong.

Have you ever been walking down the street and realized that you're going in the complete opposite direction of where you are supposed to be going? But instead of just pulling a 180 and walking back in the direction from which you came, you first have to do something like check your watch or phone or make a grand arm gesture and mutter to yourself to ensure that no one in the surrounding area thinks you're crazy by randomly switching directions on the sidewalk.

Do you remember when you were a kid, playing Nintendo and it wouldn't work? You take the cartridge out, blow in it and that would magically fix the problem? Every kid in America did that, but how did we all know how to fix the problem? There was no internet or message boards or faq's. We just figured it out. Today's kids are soft.

I would rather try to carry 10 plastic grocery bags in each hand than take 2 trips to bring my groceries in.

I have a hard time deciphering the fine line between boredom and hunger.

Answering the same letter three times or more in a row on a test is absolutely petrifying.

Whenever someone says "I'm not book smart, but I'm street smart", all I hear is "I'm not real smart, but I'm imaginary smart".

What would happen if I hired two private investigators to follow each other?

While driving yesterday, I saw a banana peel in the road and instinctively swerved to avoid it...thanks Mario Kart.

Obituaries would be a lot more interesting if they told you how the person died.

I can't remember the last time I wasn't at least kind of tired.

Eating dessert, skipping class, and having sex all have on thing in common. Once the idea crosses your mind it's almost impossible not to do it.

Bad decisions make good stories.

Is it just me, or do high school girls get sluttier and sluttier every year?

Why is it that during an ice-breaker, when the whole room has to go around and say their name and where they are from, I get so incredibly nervous? Like, I know my name, I know where I am from, this shouldn't be a problem...

You never know when it will strike, but there comes a moment at work when you've made up your mind that you just aren't doing anything productive for the rest of the day.

Can we all just agree to ignore whatever comes after DVD's? I don't want to have to restart my collection.

There is no worse feeling than that millisecond you're sure you are going to die after leaning your chair back a little too far.

While watching the Olympics, I find myself cheering equally for China and USA. No, I am not of Chinese descent, but I am fairly certain that when Chinese athletes don't win, they are executed.

I hate leaving my house confident and looking good and then not seeing anyone of importance the entire day. What a waste.

I wonder if cops ever get pissed off at the fact that everyone they drive behind obeys the speed limit.

Even under ideal conditions, people have trouble locating their car keys in a pocket, hitting the G-spot, and pinning the tail on the Donkey. But I'd bet my ass everyone can find and push the Snooze button from 3 feet away, in about 1.7 seconds, eyes closed, first time every time...

Now with pictures

We have visual! Michelle finally managed to upload the pictures to facebook, so I took the time to make that post visual. Makes so much more sense this way actually. And, I did it on my new mac. I was so stressed (sort of, not really) about trying to upload pictures on my new mac after all of Niki's frustrations on her blog. But I didn't have as much problems as I expected. Only issues reflected that of trying to adjust to a new computer. Maybe I just have a newer version of my Mac? (ps. I love it.)

Lyrics of the last year

Have you every listened to a cd (or two) and realized that many of the songs 
apply to you?  Maybe they just apply to how you feel that day, or to a specific 
event you've gone through.  I have.  Skillet's new cd Awake, and Thousand 
Foot Krutch's new cd The Flame in All of Us, both have songs that I listen to 
over and over again, because I can relate.  So here they are, I know it is a lot 
of reading, but this is the easiest way to explain how I feel and what I've gone 
through.  Some are just excerpts, and I've put the song titlesbelow, if you would 
like to listen to the song to get a better feel for it.

Let’s get the story straight

You were a poison

You flooded through my veins

You left me broken

You tried to make me think

That the blame was all on me

With the pain you put me through

And now I know that it’s not me it’s you

It’s not me it’s you

Always has been you

All the lies and stupid things you say and do

It’s you

It’s not me it’s you

All the lies and pain you put me through

I know that it’s not me it’s you

So here we go again

The same fight we’re always in

I don’t care so why pretend

Wake me when your lecture ends

You tried to make me small

Make me fall and it’s all your fault

With the pain you put me through

Skillet - It's Not Me its You

The secret side of me

I never let you see

I keep it caged but I can't control it

So stay away from me

The beast is ugly

I feel the rage and I just can't hold it

Skillet - Monster

Forgive me now cause I

Have been unfaithful

Don't ask me why cause I don't know

So many times I tried

But was unable

But this heart belongs to you alone

Now I'm alone in our secret place

Alone in your embrace

Where all my wrongs have been erased

You have forgiven

All the promises and lies

All the times I compromise

All the times you were denied

You have forgiven

Forgive me I'm ashamed

I've loved another

I can't explain because I don't know

No one can take your place

And there is no other

Forever yours and yours alone

I get down on my hands and knees

Feel your love wash over me

There will never be another

You're the only one forever

And you know I'm yours alone

Skillet - Forgiven

I don’t want to play these games,

Your strength has helped me make the change,

Catch me if I fall from grace…

I don’t want to play your games,

‘Cause lonely was a safer place,

Catch me if I fall from grace…

Take the time, to learn to breathe,

‘Cause some day we’re goin’ under,

When did we, all fall asleep?

Won’t someone wake us?

Take the time, to learn to breathe,

‘Cause some day we’re goin’ under,

Help us see, what’s underneath

I wanna take you, wanna break you,

Wanna make you, feel like I do,

I wanna take you, wanna shake you,

Wanna make you know what it’s like

I won’t fight you, I’m not like you,

I wanna make you see what I see,

I won’t fight you, I’m not like you,

I wanna make you feel like I do

Thousand Foot Krutch - Learn to Breathe

Sometimes I don’t wanna be better

Sometimes I can’t be put back together

Sometimes I find it hard to believe

There’s someone else who could be

Just as messed up as me

I want someone to hurt

Like the way I hurt

It’s sick but it makes me feel better

Skillet - Sometimes

Do you know what it’s like when

You’re scared to see yourself

Do you know what it’s like when

You wish you were someone else

Who didn’t need your help to get by

Do you know what it’s like

To wanna surrender

I don’t wanna feel like this tomorrow

I don’t wanna live like this today

Make me feel better

I wanna feel better

Stay with me here

And never surrender

Skillet - Never Surrender

And as a side note, sorry I haven't gotten pics up for the Spontaneity post yet, I'm still waiting to get them. They are coming as soon as possible!!

A Night of Spontaneity

Now, first off, I apologize for the lack of pictures. They are coming! I promise! I wasn't the one with the camera, and she hasn't gotten around to uploading them to facebook yet. Complicated, I know. As soon as they are available to me, you can see them too.

Saturday night I worked until 9 with a few of my friends, Michael and Michelle. Since it was a Saturday night, we decided to head into Edmonton and do something, anything. Our first plan was to see Inglorious Bastards, but it was sold out by the time we got there. Our second plan lead us to the Keg for coffee and cheesecake. YUM!! Afterwards, we agreed that it would be lame to go home and spent a few minutes deliberating.

A night of spontaneity with a camera! The Toys R Us parking lot seemed like a pretty good starting point, and we found a few shopping carts to play around with.

How many lifeguards can you fit in a shopping cart? At least three...

We briefly toyed with the idea of getting pulled over by a cop, just to see if we could talk our way out of it. We settled for a picture of a cop car instead. (Good idea) Next we went to the legislature grounds...

I ran through the sprinklers. No one else wanted to get cold and wet. Lame.

Wading through the pools...

And then the camera died. But the night doesn't end there! We found a traffic circle and drove around it 10 times...got a little dizzy. Drove through the "buses only" section at the University...

Probably one of the funnest nights I've had in a long time. Can't wait to do it again, maybe with even more people!
