on the seventh day...

Tip of the day:
-if you are ever craving gummies, but do not have them in your house frozen raisins work well as a substitute. but if these cravings continue much longer, i highly suggest you consult your local grocery store and purchase actual gummies.

so i was making a "coupon book" for my grandma for christmas. and this is one of the coupons i made. but it got me thinking...coupons such as this should be handed out on a regular basis. it would make simple everyday life that much more enjoyable.

day 5?...i think?

Clearly i have trouble doing something as simple as keeping a daily blog. Good thing i don't have much of a fan base (and that's even overstating it). But if you do actually take the time to read this, i commend you. you are a truly dedicated soul.

well since i haven't updated you on my life here's the short "back-of-a-movie" overview: went to a Christmas party with the fam which was pretty uneventful minus one of the guests got super drunk on wine and was vomming in the bathroom for a good portion of the evening (this was around 7pm mind you). stayed the night at my friends house, where we watched The Real Housewives of Atlanta.... probably the most ghetto thing i have seen in a while. the next day and a half were spent doing the rest (aka all) of my Christmas shopping. basically done now, which is nice.

OHHHH some absolutely FANTASTIC news (i mean for me, it really has nothing to do with you): i got a 4.0 this semester. and yes, i was taking organic chemistry...the hardest effing* class EVER (*keeping it PG for the young ones). you can now be super jealous that you are in the presence of a genius....sorry you can't tell it from my superb writing skills....i'm a science major, not an english major. can't do it all.

my thoughts for the day:
you know what question i really just cannot stand: "what do you want to do when you graduate?" (also asked as: "what do you want to do with your life?") because if i were to answer that question honestly, i would say "what do i WANT to do? i want to do absolutely nothing, make a ton of money, and travel around the world." but of course the person asking the question would just look at you like you were crazy. you're supposed to give the answer that people expect. the answer that is realistic. but i think if people expect the realistic answer of "oh I want to be a lawyer or go to med school or be a real estate agent" then they need to rephrase the way they ask the question. it should be: "what are you aiming to do with your life once you complete the necessary schooling and weigh all the options that will be available to you at that time?" because if you straight up ask me what i WANT to do....it's sure as hell not be in school for a quarter of my life. or have to any kind of hard work to make money. yes i know, i'm lazy and completely unrealistic. but someone's got to do it.

You know what i don't like? Choices.

Yes, choices. They come out of nowhere, constantly attacking you. Stressing you out. Making you need answers, make decisions. Like when putting on a movie, and it asks you- "theatrical or extended version?" and you think 'no, i don't care! Just let me watch the movie!!...But wait... I've never seen the extended version, i wonder what they added, maybe it's better.... Ahh but the theatrical version was too good, i would never change it.'

See how just there, one simple task of getting ready to watch a movie, and you've lost at least five minutes to having to make the decision, to pick between two choices. If they hadn't presented to you at that moment, you wouldn't of had to use or waste brain cells on deciding between the two. They complicate life. Getting in the way at every possible place.

day 2.

i will do my best to keep this as short and sweet as possible. you're welcome.

basically i woke up, made myself some coffee...to which i added skim milk and splenda, the only way to have it. the next few hours were spent slaving away at the chores mother, the slave driver, gave us to do. us referring to me and my brothers. oh i also accomplished the daunting task of unpacking, fairly well i might add.

i then learned how versatile apples can be. i now have more appreciation of them than ever. after the 'apple adventure', i ventured to my computer and for some odd reason opened "paint." lets just say: BEST DECISION EVER. it is my new favorite thing. i put on my ipod (starting with "Who Says" by John Mayer. duh) and just drew whatever came to mind. i have included this lovely drawing for your viewing pleasure:

Yeah i know, pretty great. i hope it's obvious as to what they are. but if you are looking for an explanation as to why/how/or what those three things have in common....I HAVE ABSOLUTELY NO IDEA. blame it on the apple's influence. but i mean just look at how quality the shading is. that's artistic ability right there folks.

well lets see after this the fam went out to Red Lobster to have dinner and celebrate one of my brother's birthdays. so presh. had some delicious crab legs. once back at home, my mother requested me to make these delightful things called whoopie pies. and if you have never had these, i regret to inform you that you have not really lived. it is like christmas morning in your mouth. please go out and find them. now. get off your computer and head to the nearest grocery store. purchase 2 boxes of chocolate cake mix, 4 eggs, 3/4 cup of oil, and cream cheese frosting. once these ingredients are obtained, mix the cake mix, eggs, and oil together in a large bowl. roll into balls and place on cookie sheet. bake at 350 for 9-10 minutes. take out and place on a cooling rack. once cooled frost bottomside of one cookie and then place another cookie on top of that...basically making a sandwich with the cookies on the outside and frosting in the middle. now put in your mouth and let your taste buds do the talking.

that sums up my day. such an exciting life i lead.

X-MAS break. DaY 1

so this is my first day back at home for good ol' christmas break. basically the greatest time of year. because there is an entire month off from school (and really any brain activity in general), presents from Christmas, Christmas in itself, New Year's EVE (i want to clarify that i only put new year's eve and not new year's day.....because think about it: who actually likes the day of new years? no one. most people spend it severely hungover and extremely hungry or at the gym trying to not break their resolution the very first day. I think the day as a whole just has a lot of pressure put on it. like if you fuck up this day, then you're entire following year is supposedly just...well... just fucked. for lack of a better word).

i apologize for my rambling. back to the point. i want to try and complete some sort of task this christmas break. or have something to show for an entire month of "blobbing" around.....which is where this idea came into play: i am going to keep a "log". think of it as a play-by-play/day-by-day update on my break. don't worry, i'll try to include pictures or something to keep it lively.

now buckle up (or strap in for those of you flying in rockets) and enjoy the ride.
please keep your hands and feet inside the vehicle at all times. no flash photography please.

DAY 1:
enjoyed my 4 hours spent on the airplane. and all the quality people watching gained from being in an airport. airports just have such good vibes. i love them. almost as much as i love cake. or maybe equivalent to my love of cake. whatever, that's clearly off topic. my lovely parents picked me up and we then went to jim n nicks...the GREATEST BBQ PLACE OF ALL TIME. no joke. and i'm a serious bbq fanatic, so you're safe in considering me a credible critic.

after eating the most delicious bbq pulled pork sandwich and cinnamon apples, and enduring the 40 minute car ride home...my day got increasingly uneventful. yeah, i know, hardtobelieve. lets see i can probably put this in list form so as to not cause you any more pain in having to suffer through reading this.

1. met [and fell in love with] the new puppy my family got while i was away at school. thanks family, good to know i'm replaceable.
2. made a quick fridge and pantry inventory check...so as to know what i can eat once boredom sets in
3. picked up little brother from school. clearly all i'm good for is chauffeuring.
4. it just so happened to be 3pm when we got back....so obviously: watched Ellen.
5. made dinner for the fam. oh wait, i'm also a cook. (not chef status yet, but eventually i may get a promotion)
6. helped mom wrap presents for cousins.
7. mom decides she wants 'goodies' in the package we're sending them. guess who got to make chex muddy buddies? yep, yours truly.
8. ate 1/4 of the bag just to be spiteful. Ha!
9. took a bath. mmm how i have missed baths. still not sure how they help you get clean though...?
10. watched literally THE WORST movie : the Back-up Plan. couldn't even force myself to finish it. jennifer lopez, sorry but i'm not a fan.
11. eh, sorry kids but that brings us up to the present. which subsequently means i should be done and say au reviour till tomorrow. (i think thats french for goodbye?)

Thoughts of the day: by yours truly.
So i'm sitting here in the library trying to study...clearly going so well since im doing this haha. But as i've been here i have come to the conclusion that this whole concept of school is a joke. Think about it: back in the day you only had to graduate from the 8th grade to get a legitimate job. Slowly that got pushed up to 12th grade (aka you had to finish graduate high school). Next it became that you needed to get your bachelor's (go to another 4 years of school to 'specialize' in a particular area of study). And then some real big genius decided to tack on another 4 years of school and call it a masters. And what has our world have to show for this increase in schooling (not even taking into consideration if you complete all this you will have spent a quarter of your life in school)...minus new technologies, and other things that have "made our lives better/easier", we havent cured cancer or helped people live longer or stopped the global climate change or saved the rainforest or solved world hunger. So i ask...why all the school?
