Yes, I was going to write about something else right now, but it's a deep and thoughtful topic and I need some time with it, so while I'm working on that here are a few other things to keep this blog rolling. These are little snapshots I wrote previously. Enjoy.

"I don’t even know where to begin. I’m SO behind on writing and I have so much that I don’t even know what to write about. Oh sure I have all the time in the world now, it’s just that time is just like money: “Oh I need a little for this, and for that, and this will help me in the long run, and this is a good investment…” and in the end you end up with neither time nor money if you reason that way. So I have to prioritize. How am I going to do that with all the stuff I have to write about?! "

"You know what I realized today? I talk to myself out loud. I was getting out of my car today in the Kroger parking lot and I saw how dirty my car was, so I though, I should wash my car. Instantly I replied to myself out loud: “Not today, you idiot. It’s freezing!” When I said that I noticed that there was a woman sitting in the car next to which I parked and her window was rolled down. I awkwardly looked at her for a second and walked briskly towards the store."

"Here’s a little friendly exchange I had with my cousin this morning after having bought some candy at a gas station. She read me a riddle off a Laffy Taffy wrapper and I decided to prank her by pretending there was a riddle on my AirHeads wrapper.
“Hey, listen to this: it says, ‘Did you know the word “gullible” is written on the ceiling of your car’?”
“Huh?” She looked up and I laughed my socks off.
About five minutes later, though, I was in for another roaring moment. After carefully inspecting the wrapper of her AirHeads candy she finally said, “Wait, where are the jokes on these things anyways?” "

"I was looking up Rolex watch prices for a project today, and somehow an “Add to Cart” button next to “Buy for only $79,250” just doesn’t seem appropriate. Like, what kind of a sick joke is this. Who would actually click that!? I did…just to see what would happen. The page took forever to load. I wonder if Bill Gates owns a Rolex watch. Probably didn’t think twice about buying one. What’s $100,000 of…how much is he worth now? According to a website that’s about 15 cents to him. EEK. Bill Gates makes $300 a second. I make $15 an hour of grueling tutoring, and only when it’s in demand."
