Ashley just told me that my blog has been good lately, THANKS ASHLEY! This one's for you.

And now bring on the suck! Because I know I can't keep up good bloggin for long. And why not you ask?

I noticed that people's blogs are much like their lives. Of course, this is only natural, as the person blogs about their life. So if their life is good, their blog will be good. Likewise, if their life is bad, their blog will be bad (and by bad, I mean depressing or sad or full of angst). And if their life is boring, their blog will be boring, which my blog was at for quite a bit, and maybe even a little bit at the bad for a few posts back there when nothing was going my way.

That's what life (and blogging) is. A cycle of goods and bads, one cannot always be up and one cannot always be down. A person may stay and one or the other for an extended period of time and they may feel that they will always be either happy or sad (most likely sad, because you really don't dwell on things when you are happy), but eventually the mood will change and a shift towards the other side will begin.

So right now, I guess my blog is at a happy phase, or at least one where I blog good stuff, at least that's what I've been told.

But what is kind of odd is that nothing really "happened" that made me be "happy." I guess everything just seems better after that whole week of bullshit that I had to deal with two weeks ago. Or maybe I'm beginning to be able to shrug off the meaningless crap and look at what is really important. Yeah, that's what it is. Hopefully. ;-) I guess the whole point of this last mini-paragraph is about perspective. Can we really judge our experiences and give them value (whether they be happy or sad) without another reference point of which to judge them? Is that why everything, while we are in our infancy, seems so interesting? Because we are developing our reference points and the only reference point that we have before bouncing on a ball is sitting in our own crap?

Whoa, that post got way off topic. Uh, yeah, anyway, thanks again for the compliment Ashley and I know you won't read this till at least Wednesday haha.

Oh yeah, and please forgive any lapse in logic/continuity of this post. It is pretty late and I'm running on a few hours of sleep and a bottle of coke. I also don't feel like proof-reading it and doing corrections (just like always!).

I just remembered something that I wanted to post from like a week ago. Don't you hate when that happens, when you have a great idea for a post and then you just forget about it till a later date and then it kind of seems past the times and you really don't want to post it but you feel like it anyway even though it won't be nearly as good as it would have been if you posted it when you originally wanted to? Yeah, that happens to me a lot, anyway...

What I wanted to post was an article that I read while on my plane trip back from Illinois, it was an article on the front page of the newspaper (I forget which one) and the headline reads "Cow's Breath Heating Up Atmopshere" or something along those lines, I don't have the article with me right now, it's at my Dad's house, so I'll be posting the article sometime next week, but still, WHO cares what cow's breath is doing? Cow's have been around for a long time... I doubt their breath is going to be the bane of our existence or cause the Earth to heat up to such a high degree that we all burn/melt/turn to ashes. Oh yeah, and guess where this important scientific "breakthrough" was discovered? Utah... I think, I'll have to look at the article, but I'm sure it's one of those useless midwestern states (maybe Kansas ;-)). And I remember when it just used to be cow's farts that were destroying the ozone layer, now we have trouble coming out of both ends of our bovine friends.

New blog format, yay.

I feel both good and bad right now.
Good that I have saved a life.
Bad that a life of one of my friends was even threatened.

It has been brought to my attention (by a certain someone) that I don't blog anymore. Well, it has been almost a week since my last post, so I guess that is kind of true, but I've just had nothing to blog about really. Anyway, here goes my blog about nothing, this one's for you, Kira.

I have a couple of project going on in my life right now, too bad none of them are overly exciting, but here is the rundown of them:

Project the First: Cleaning out my pool. This sounds rather easy, the pool is drained and my mission is to get rid of all the water that has collected at the bottom and sweep/scrape all the crap off of said bottom. So I checked out the pool on Wednesday, doesn't look too deep, maybe a foot or so deep, barely any water right? WRONG. There are at least 500 gallons of water that I have to empty out BY HAND because my dad said it didn't look like enough to warrant buying one of those huge vacuums to suck up all of the water. So I've spent a couple of hours or so going into the water, scooping up about 5 gallons at a time, walking up a tiny hill (my pool slopes down a pretty decent amount, just enough to make walking up it a pain), walking up about 4 steps, each about a foot tall, and throwing the water through a fence onto my yard. Boy is it tiring. But that's not the worst part, the water is absolutely disgusting. A variety of strange creatures have claimed it as their home, there is some strange red plant growing along the bottom, mold everywhere, a bunch of shells that somehow got transplanted there and a slimy coating to the bottom of the pool. I can barely step on it without slipping, but I have to get into the water to scoop out a decent amount. Oh yeah, it smells like shit too, I'm not sure if it's the funky plant or the numerous creatures (dead and alive) that stink it up, but it stinks. I've done about half of it, and I should be finishing it up soon... but it's just gross.

Project the Second: I haven't really started this project yet, but it is to weed the backyard hill. A fairly large and steep hill full of cacti and bees nests, spiders and rabbits (one family of rabbits lives on our hill), this project might prove to be a bit difficult. But I've done it before in summers past, so I know it can be done.

Project the Third: Find a job. This has been and ongoing project for a while, and I actually did find a job. But it got me nothing, the only this it actually gave me was probably the record for shortest held job. A whole whopping 3 hours. I got the job, then I received a phone call from the woman that hired me 3 hours later telling me that she didn't need me. I already had my whole next week planned out and everything. But now instead of working, I get to work on finding a job.

Project the Fourth: Almost done, but to finish it, I need to finish Project the Third. It is to fix up my car completely. All that is left is to replace the clutch. It is still driveable but there is a trick to driving it so the clutch doesn't "slip," meaning that the car essentially goes to neutral while you are driving it, not good. But I've figured it out as to where it hardly is a problem, it would just be easier to drive if I didn't have to worry about damaging my engine block every time it slips into neutral.

Project the Fifth: I've been eating healthier and starting to "work out." I put work out in quotes because as of right now I'm hardly doing anything, it's just too boring. I'll have to find some sort of motivation, but I've lost 10 lbs already.

That's it, are you happy now Kira?
