you cant avoid change

so just add them up and switch them out for dollars!  

what is up?!  its been quite a while since i’ve blogged, since the summer, and so much has changed around here.  i’m not about to take all this time updating you on the lame nuances of my life, so im not gonna do it.  if you havent noticed, i switched my blogging over to tumblr, i feel like its more interactive with others, i can reblog stuff, and if someone so desires, they can reblog my stuff.  not exactly sure why someone would want to do that, mostly because a my posts are usually about me and my life and random thoughts, and i dont know why someone would feel exactly the same way or have had the same exact experiences, but who knows, people do crazy things these days.  was that a really long sentence?  yeah, it was.  ive always found so much random shiz on tumblr, so why not hop on that boat.  well, that boat has long since sailed.  but you know how people say that the ship has sailed, implying that you can no longer “get on the boat” that is going who knows where?  why is that always a bad thing?  it could be a great thing like if you’re on a cruise and the ship has sailed.  and its not like you cant ever catch up to that boat, using a speedboat of sometime, or a helicopter, and then just get dropped off to reach it, right?  at first, i would think, why would you want to be on a boat if you’re already on a helicopter?  but i guess you can find pros and cons of each.  if you like being in the middle of a huge body of water, at the mercy of the sea, then that’s great!  but if you love flying and going wherever you want to go, avoiding traffic and other landlocked items, then the helicopter is where it’s at!  but i guess if you like seeing bikini-clad ladies and chizzled-abs men, there aren’t as many in helicopters.  unlessssss you’re using a helicopter to fly over a beach.  then there you go!  

that’s beside the point.  

this whole tumblr thing is new to me, but im assuming that even the most novice of users can use it, so im assuming that it won’t be that difficult to grasp.  do you ever realize that by typing on these keyboards, we’re practically making things teleport?  ok just thinkk about it.  you have the letters on the keyboard, but then when you press it, the same letter appears on the screen in front of you?  that’s awesome.  i keep thinking, what would be better, to have the power to teleport or to time travel?  wouldnt both be awesome?  but i always choose teleportation, because of the usefulness in daily practice.  avoiding traffic, saving time traveling, going wherever you wanted to go instantly.  but then again, i just typed in there, time travel…ing.  yeah it’s out of context, but let’s just take a quick look at time travel.  

The benefits of time travel:
- go back in time and figure out what you did wrong in order to correct it
- go back in time in order to remember something that you forgot
- go back in time to figure out what you did right
- jump forward in time to see how your current decisions will pan out
- jump forward in time and use it as a basis on how you’re going to make decisions

I’m sure there are many more benefits than this, but we don’t have to get into the specifics.  But then wouldn’t you think that maybe if you try and mess with this time-space continuum, that it might blow up right back in your face?  Remember butterfly effect?  Those are one of the cons that I would have against time travel.  I think I’d try and mess with too many things, and then what if you go into the future and you decide that you want to do something differently, so you go back to the present and change it, but then eventually you may realize that the future you jumped into was already how things were with you changing things?  It just knows already.  It just does.

It’s a windy day today, and I think I’m going to go outside and be warm.  The only way that’s gonna happen is if i bundle up and not get ninja’d.  Just cause it looks bright and sunny outside, doesn’t mean it’s warm too.  You think you have everything all figured out, and then it starts raining.  Always bring a mental umbrella.

you always be typing out all sorts of crazy stuff on this, aaron! haha just kidding though, its actually been a while. if you didnt know, you probably didnt know, but im back in the grand terrace. sounds awesome, right? its so hot! lol of course its like 20 degrees hotter than the westside, cause of course there’s no water here. ok theres water, but not necessarily. what kind of water do you have here? probably some sort of bro-water, you know how we do! lol so i got back from vegas the other day and i decided that i wasnt going to unpack, maybe because i would still feel like i was still on vacation. i kinda use that as an excuse to legitimize my not unpacking, it might even just be me being lazy, but who really knows. we always make all sorts of excuses about all sorts of things to make ourselves feel better. whats that thing that people say? whatever helps you sleep at night? haha so nyquil? why dont i just call that nyquil. “DAYM HOMIE, THATS SO NYQUIL!” the next time i hear someone say something just to make themselves feel better, im gonna say that. but very very likely, i wont even remember to do it. i always say something like that, telling myself that it’s so clever and maybe ill start saying it, and then maybe itll catch on. there are two things wrong with that. for one, i have some sort of a.d.d. and i just never remember a lot of the retarded things i say. sometimes other people repeat it back to me or use it in a sentence in regards to something i said, and i wont even know where it came from, and ill give them a look like, “what? thats so weird. you’re so weird”. then they proceed to tell me that it was my idea to say that. which brings me to my second point. at the time, a lot of the things i say may seem clever to me, but in reality, my judgement is skewed. its like when parents think their kids are so awesome, but they’re really barely scratching average. thats probably what its like with a lot of the things i say. i dont really mind though, because i say a lot of the things i say just to amuse myself. if we cant laugh at ourselves, who else can we laugh at? i guess that doesnt even make sense either. maybe you’re just not funny? aaron. hahaha! lol im easily amused, if you didn’t know by now. i also have a very forgiving taste palette. just today, i was satisfied with pasta and just the prego sauce. really aaron? thats it? yeah. i was just that hungry. so if theres something that i say i really don’t enjoy, it must be REALLY BAD. you know how they say, you’re only as strong as your weakest link? you know how they have limiting reagents in chemistry? maybe we can all start saying, your food is as only as bad as aaron thinks it is. all of you horrible cooks have a chance! let’s be real though. no one is going to start saying that. no one. go ahead and prove me wrong, you’ll be the one looking like a fool! hahahaah you. are. welcome!

well obviously

lol ok so whatever i said in my last post about polyphasic sleep? yeah it didnt work out lmao. i lasted a day and after like 48 hours of being up, one of my 20 minute naps turned into a few hours. so i threw that out the window. i guess ill just put that energy into waking up earlier! my mcat is in a week anyways, so i guess ill be ok. just got back from class, kinda getting a littler nervous! lol. itll be all good! so congrats to all my cohorts in the usc mph program, class of 2011, they graduated/walked yesterday! it was a good time. actually i have a lot of pictures that i guess i could upload tonight. haha id feel kind of bad waiting until forever to upload them, like a few months later, and then be like “oh hey, remember you guys graduated?!” haha well i guess that will kind of relight the fire of memories. but by that time its whatever. i suppose. i barely remember my graduation. actually im lying, i really remember it. haha i like graduations! and weddings! so the girl whose room im renting from took back her desk cause theyre in the process of moving stuff out before the end of the month, so im literally without a desk. i have a metal cabinet from ikea and my monitor is sitting on that and my keyboard is sitting on the top drawer pulled out. woop woop! haha this is crap! oh well lol ill only be here for another two weeks or so!

alright at this point i just feel like keyboard vomiting which doesnt necessarily mean im going to vomit on my keyboard, its mostly just me typing away whatever i want, without really editing it, because its kind of theraputic. i dont even know if thats how you spell theraputic theraputic theraflu is what i was taking a couple weeks back because i was feelin kind of sick but the thing is i still kinda feel sick now well not really sick, but mostly just a runny nose. like a refridgerator. who knows if i even spelled that right, i dont really care, because this is a blog. there are a lot of things i dont care about. like birds that stand on the power lines. not that i dont care about birds, but is it really something to care about? i do are about not having a desk. but theres nothing i can really do about it. right now as i type all quick, my entire drawer is shaking like theres an earthquake. i think i also write pretty hard, because when i write, my desk also shakes. not hardcore though, just wobble wobble. i hate having those desks at restaurants that wobble when i put pressure on a certain part of the table. like wtf! fix that shiz! i dont want my glass of water flying all over the place and on to my sushi! for some odd reason in my head i always feel like this happens mostly at japanese restaurants. i dont know why. sometimes they have those tables where you can rotate the bottom part and it will extend it in order to make it balance out. haha i remember. and i know because i used to work at a japanese restaurant. did you know that? you didnt know that? then who are you, and how do you know me? looks like you dont know me really well! but then again, how well do we really know each other? how many people can you actually say you know “well”? are you a jack (or jackette [LMAO OR JACKET]! haha ok that wasnt that funny to most, if not all of you, but then again who cares! haha jk! haha jake!) of all friends or a one at a time kind of friend? i feel like maybe i dont know a lot of the people i know very well, but i have a good amount of friends that i know well? who knows though, everyone has skeletons in their closet. some people have walk in closets, some people dont. walk in closets can hold more skeletons. i dont have a walk in closet right now. hold the phone! lol where did they get that phrase hold the phone? haha dude you know what? the longer you hold on to something, the more strange it feels to be without it. just hold your phone for a while, for a long time, like hours, and then put it down. or just let go of it. or whatever you want to do with it, just dont have it in your hand anymore. doesnt it feel weird? but the thing is, if you only hold on to it for a few minutes, it doesnt feel that weird without it! like i feel weird without my phone in my pocket, or my watch on my wristies. i guess you could say that about relationships too huh? the longer you’re with someone, the stranger it is to be without them? if someone was only with someone for a few months versus a few years, then the longer relationship already has all of this crazy integration into each others lives that once all of that stuff is gone, there are more voids to be filled. hold the phone! haha crazy kids. im so hungry. dang it i just remembered that i cooked rice. have you ever cooked rice in a pot before? before i grabbed my rice cooker from riverside, i was cooking rice in a pot. not that its difficult, but you just have to watch it for a long time, making sure to do stuff, not like cooking in a rice cooker where you just measure everything and then peace out! haha! but the thing is, i always say im hungry. sometimes im not hungry, but right now i am. haha. a lot of the time i also say “i dont know” when someone asks me something, but then proceeds to answer the question right after. i think its a subconcious thing that gives me the slightest bit more time to think about my answer. but then again, have you ever talked to me? do you really think i think about a lot of the things i say? haha looks like my strategy doesnt work. YELLOW LAMBORGHINI, YELLOW TOP MISSSSSSINNNN!!!!!!!!!!

polyphasic day 1

april 21, 2011. look what it is! haha so basically im taking my mcat in about a month. a little less than a month now! may 20. im trying to fit a lot more studying into my days, so what are my options? obviously one would be to sleep early and then wake up early to study before i have class at night. nah. for some reason i decided that i’m gonna go polyphasic. basically i’m going to be sleeping 20 minutes every 4 hours. the hours i chose are 2, 6, and 10 am/pm. this sounds crazy aaron, are you really going to do this? yeah dude. i already started. 27 minutes ago. cant go back now! but really though, how the heck am i going to do this. so i have class from 7-930 monday through friday, and at 6pm im gonna take a 20 minute nap, and then at 10 pm im going to take another one, and then 2am im going to take another one. do i really need to explain more? haha ok but really though, the only reason why i think im even attempting to do this and think that it will be ok is that i dont have any other things to do other than me studying, going to class, and going to the gym. the only deviations in my schedule are going to be whatever i do on the weekends. so, am i going to be taking naps at dinner, at friends houses, in the car? who knows. maybe. depends on where i am at 2, 6, or 10. the 4 hour period can be stretched a little bit once my body gets used to it, but im not sure where my limits are, i guess im going to find out. i’ve done my reading and it seems that as long as i dont actually miss naps, i should be ok. haha i guess we’ll see how that goes too. this is kinda weird, because you know what, i love my sleep. sometimes i feel like i could sleep all day! but the thing is, i also like being productive if i can be. but my main problem is the actual being able to wake up when my alarm goes off because im so comfortable in bed. if my body can handle this journey, i’m going to have more hours in the day to be more “productive”. hopefully this doesnt take a bad turn and have me find out that all my “waking” hours are me being half productive/effective, as opposed to me being 100% productive/effective in only half those hours. cause if that were the case, i’ll take my monophasic one block of sleep a night! haha im about to take a journey, hopefully the only baggage i’ll be carrying on are the ones that might be under my eyes. oh no. i hope not! -_- u_u !!!

lettuce-C

hahaha dude if i was gonna be a rapper and had a rap group, i would name us lettuce-c. maybe not. if i had a friend named anna, id tell her to get a group together and name it bandana. hahahah! that would be dope! like the drug but not the drug whenever you want to hear the drug, maybe its your anti drug, or maybe love is like a drug. kinda like what ke-dollar sign-ha said. wait is she the one? im not sure. so i went to this viet place tonight to get me some charbroiled beef and rice to take home. so i was inside for literally less than 5 minutes, but as soon as i left that place i smelled like pho. for the rest of the night. im at my apt now, and im pretty freakin sure that my room now smells like pho. its amazing how that works. it just leeches on to your clothing, like something that leeches. like a leech i suppose, but those latch on to your skin, right? i think so. if someone latches on to you, why is that necessarily a bad thing? i guess maybe because they bug? haha who named it “to bug” anyways? what if you’re a bug lover? then wouldnt that be a great thing to be bugged? haha did they name “bugging” that name because it actually looks like a bug? but the thing is, to “bug” someone’s place, it doesnt even necessarily mean you use the same type of “bug” that it used to refer to. now it just means to just have some surveillance things at your place, or wherever it may be. they could just mean that they put a microphone somewhere in your room, something that doesnt even look remotely close to a bug, but it would still technically mean that your place has been bugged, right? who knows dude. who’s nose? haha my nose! got your nose! remember in the movie click, when he goes into the future and then adam sandler’s dad tries doing that quarter trick thing on him and then he says that he knew the trick the whole time, and then the dad got sad? i felt so bad there! i didnt cry though… or did i? if i were to pick a part that i would have cried at, i suppose it would be somewhere near the end with the rain and emotional stuff going on. typical. but i dont even remember the last time that i ever cried in a movie. probably when i was really young. a little trick. who the ef knows what i would have cried about. i dont even really remember seeing bambi, so there goes me crying to that. i know people say that “oh yeah i totally cried in bambi when the mom dies”. i duno man. is that what happened? lol all i remember is that all my movies that i had when i was younger were taped illegally. haha. my mom would have two vcrs to tape everything that we used to get from blockbuster. haha. so i had all these pirated movies and shiz. og stuff man! good times though. yeah i dont even remember ever buying a real legit vhs tape of a movie. see, thats why i never feel like buying dvds anymore. i bought a bunch of dvds all the time for a few years on black friday just cause they were cheap. but after a while, i realized that after i bought them, i would just rip them to the computer and watch them on appletv. so um, i suppose i might as well just download it then, right? especially since i could just download the 720p quality, unlike the regular dvds that i always bought on sale. no way im gonna buy real blurays! haha and plus, i dont even have a bluray player. i dont even have a ps3. however i do have an xbox 360. actually, mine has the unfixable red ring of death. i actually have peter’s old one that i fixed the rrod on. gotta get my nba 2k11 on! i actually havent played that thing in forever. ive actually barely watched any tv at the apt here. for lent, one of the things i gave up was having cable in my room. its actually not that difficult. i watch tv when im at the gym i suppose. but i still have hulu. the only thing thats really gonna suck is when the playoffs start next month. there will be the first few weeks when i cant watch it on my tv. but once come easter, boom boom bang! playoff time is always so fun. the pistons are never in it anymore, who the ef knows what happened. oh yeah, i know. they traded chauncey. clowns! who’s a clown?! YOU’S A CLOWN! did you notice that its kinda hard to type certain things when youre just typing very quickly? like i just found out that its difficult for me to type something that starts with say, when its supposed to start with stay. nevermind. i just did it and it wasnt that difficult. maybe i was just out of the groove or just had a finger seizure. that’s what she said! BYE!

howd you get in them jeans

how’d is one letter away from howdy like a cowboy hat when theyre worn on top of your head over to the gym to get a good workout side of the office is where people take their breaks in a record book when someone thought that it was guiness record of books shelf is where books are kept when it doesnt matter if you keep them in a good order like in a library store. hey do they ever sell books at a library? or do they only loan them out? its been a while since ive been to a legit city library, not like a school library or anything. i remember i used to go to this place back in detroit called the centennial library, and snap that place was huge! you’ge! it looked pretty dope from the outside and it was pretty hefty inside. i wonder what its like there nowadays. i have this curtain that isnt really a curtain, well i suppose it is, but its one of those things which i would call mostly like a pull down screen, which keeps people on the outside of your window from seeing inside, but the thing is that it doesnt keep vast amounts of light from entering your room. so in the morning i can still see light shining, but not necessarily blazing into my room. well now that i think about it, im kind of next to other buildings so the sun only has a small “window” of opportunity to enter my “window” haha and most of the time i dont think im here to witness it. it certainly doesnt wake me up in the morning, like it used to do when i lived in arcadia. if i left my curtains open, which i always did, the sun would wake me in the face in the morning for realll. good morning texts good morning calls. after a while i suppose the sun was my rooster. every morning without fail, the sun would annoy the heck out of me and wake me up at a good time if i wasnt awake already. but then you know what else is a wake up call that sucksss? a lot of the time i also kept my window open, and the gardeners would always come around all early like at 8 and start doing their thang. no problem with that because that’s their job, but really though, it was pretty annoying. but then again, should we be annoyed at people just doing their job? kinda like the don’t kill the messenger thing. all theyre there to do is give you a message, but unfortunately since they can possibly be the face of bad news, then they may get the grunt/brunt? of whatever your reaction is. i suppose its the same thing with people who are straight blunt? i guess that could be taken either way. theyre just telling you how it is, “keeping it real”. but what if keeping it real goes wrong? just like in chappelle’s show. but what if nothing was sugar coated? what if all my friends “kept it real”? that could either be alright if you “keep it real” in the first place, or have thick skin, or it could be horrible horrible. i guess its a good thing that not everyone is like that, for your own sake. but i think maybe its always a good thing to have people who will tell you how it is, but who care enough about you that they wont tell you in a destructive manner. because there will always be people out there who “keep it real” just for the sake of knowing that when they tell you “how it is”, you will likely feel bad/hurt, and they take pleasure in that. horrible. but your real friends, they should know you well enough that they can break bad news to you in a better way. for example, a physician who has to break the news to a family that someone didnt make it. they can either come out to the waiting room and just be like, “yo, pops didnt make it through. sorry!”. or he/she could be like “we tried our best, but unfortunately your father didnt make it.” bedside manner i suppose. ahh, keeping it real. if im a little inebriated, im more likely to have a conversation with you where i start off by saying “yo, im just gonna keep it real, but like…” and then i will proceed to tell you something that i may have held back. i guess its effectiveness will highly depend on your level of intoxication also. because obviously if you’re sober, everything may be viewed in a completely shine of light. if youre drunk… well maybe you wont even remember. there goes keeping it real! lol

a dime is still ten cents

relative worth. i just think its kinda crazy how we’re able to take things and make them mean something completely different. for example, a dime. for all intents and purposes, we say that it’s worth ten cents. that’s 6 or 7 minutes on a city parking meter. however, if i somehow referred to a pretty girl as a dime, she might partake in that as a compliment, which i may or may not bestow upon many these days. not really saying she’s really only worth ten cents, cause any girl id refer to that as would definitely be… priceless =P. haha get it? lol but really though, can i just take any word these days, put some sort of meaning on it, and spin it around to mean something completely different? im not saying i dont get what it means to call a girl a “dime” because yeah, she’s a 10, whatever. but what if i said “SHIZ SON, I BEEN INFECTED MY WHOLE LIFE”, and wanted it to be understood as me being “sick” my whole life, would that work? or if instead of calling someone dumb, i called them “elephant” cause of the reference to “dumbo”? “you’s elephant, yo”! haha i really think that its possible to come up with some crazy stuff these days. my friend in high school, you know who it is!, tried to start “that’s so cake” in reference to that scene in one of the matrix movies where that girl ate cake and had an orgasm. haha we always give him crap about it, its funny. i guess we do it all the time. now that i think about it, and im pretty much almost making fun of it, but i do a lot of that kind of stupid stuff. id call a girl “point three” in reference to the size of the pencil lead that is 0.3, aka: “fine”. hahaha actually i just kinda reamused myself just now. its just silly. maybe for the rest of this blog im just gonna come up with a bunch of random stuff that ive said thats kinda like that or maybe things that i will eventually use/say. if you use it in front of me, ill automatically assume that you got it from here, for the sole reason that a lot of these things that i say that are kind of like this are just dumbbbbbbb (elephant), and most of them are things that you would just shake your head at. lol. actually nevermind. im not really good at coming with that kind of stuff on the spot, its more of just coming up with it on/at? the spur of the moment. i just spent the last minute looking at the wall, not really being able to concentrate on actually thinking of something, my mind kept wavering. maybe thats the actual problem. mind wanderings. that happens to me a lot. do you think that vast number of people have some type of ADD? for the people who dont, im truly jealous. im not really the jealous type most of the time, but 1. if you have a keen sense of being able to stay focused for long periods of time without the use of adderall, then i am truly jealous. and 2. if you can teleport, i am truly jealous. as for most of the other things in the world that i could possibly be jealous of, people who are vastly successful, taller, more attractive, more fun, smarter, better sense of smell, better vision, xray vision, and whatever else i can think of, its not that i dont care, but its kinda like i do. for the most part, its like, what am i gonna do about it? sulk all day thinking about how it sucks i dont have those things or attributes? nah not really. im not gonna spend all day doing that. someone will always be better than me at something. you might say, hey thats pretty low self esteemish of you, aaron! but not really, cause its not really bringing me down, right? i suppose i could just think that im the best at everything in the world, in life, then its like wouldnt i just be setting truly unrealistic goals for myself? theres a difference between setting realistic goals to strive for, and others where the goals are way too far and i will definitely fall short. i guess it really depends, i think im just going off on all sorts of tangents. obviously there are things that i just can’t be the “best” at, like being the tallest, strongest, fastest kid ever. i guess what it all comes down to is that, as cliche as it is, i gotta be the “best that i can be”. lmao i just felt ridiculous typing that out. wiz khalifa said it best, everything i do, i do it big! my dad always said, if you’re going to do something, do it well. so i suppose… everything i do, i do it well! (relatively) black and yellow, black and yellow!

midday keyboard explosion

not talking about what you think i might be thinking but sometimes i actually find that typing a lot, and very quickly, is very theraputic. so it doesnt really matter what i might be talking about today, its just monday, another day of studying and clases later on tonight, so its pretty much just gonna try and get me back on track. maybe because i woke up really late, and that the daylight saving time, time change, didnt really help either. i find myself stuttering, wait no, talking really stupid lately. thanks a lot. i hope that doesnt translate to my hands and my typing. well in that case, maybe ive been typing stupid for the past forever in life? who knows. and maybe now its about time that it goes to my mouth. not what she said, you’re disgusting, grow up! anyways, dude its really nice outside, inside, the box. just like a jack in the box. actually ive never been inside a jack in the box, actually ive never even owned a jack in the box. remember in adam’s family, or is it adams family? lol remember when they had the finger trap things? i thought that thing was so dope! haha so i realized im still capable of falling alseep while driving. not even drunk. just in general. its been a while since ive been able to fall asleep while driving. its always a scary thing. its never good. unless you’re not really driving, and you’re in the passenger seat. well that doesnt really count then, right? cause you’re not even driving! haha dude what if everything was exactly what it seemed? haha i dont know. dude but you know what would be really cool?! if people were able to make their own emoticons! hahahahah that would be freakin awesome! like instead of using those weird emoticon faces on your phone, if you were able to take pictures on your phone and it would turn them into emoticons! hahahahha and then you could actually show people what your face looks like when youre texing! hahahah dude im totally stoked for something like that to come out. if it doesnt, then maybe ill make the app. yeah cause thats so easy! haha thats what she said. but really though, imagine how fun that would be! and then you could use other people’s emoticons too if they make it available. haha that would be so sick! so its already 124 pm and im sitting at the computer, just read over a few things, but for the most part, havent even eaten a full meal yet today. or even any meal, at that. at that? does that even make sense? i really dont know. but i bought these new pants that i really like, i think its about time that i gave my nudies a break. by the time it hits july, i would have had them for two years! haha its crazy. wearing the same pair of pants 95% of the time for two years. haha but yeah, i feel like my pants are borderline gold in the sun. but then again, i guess khaki is pretty borderline gold too. they kinda look like wood grain. i got wood on my pants. hahaha jk. jk? lol i really like it when the abbreviations actually sound like the words. dude, did i already blog about that? lmao i might have. but WTF if you sound out those letters, sounds really similar to what the f*ck! and if you say “lmao” it actually looks like youre saying a laugh out loud. but then again, you’re not really laughing your ass off when you do that, and it doesnt really sound like thats what youre saying either. maybe thats a bad example. there are a lot of bad examples, but i suppose if you catch them before you actually try and use them as a point then its ok? its kinda like catching yourself when you make a mistake, but you call yourself out before anyone else does. because then at that point, you dont give them the liberty/chance/opportunity of calling you out on stuff. its kinda like “white rabbit” aka eminem, in the last battle at the end of 8 mile. he calls himself out on everything that the other dude can call himself out on, so that the other dude doesnt have a chance to make fun of him. but then again, i guess thats kinda bad too if you call yourself out on everything, even if no one else calls you out on it, cause then you might just be bringing attention to something that no one may even have noticed if you didnt say anything. but i guess it’s only fair, because i call people out on a lot of stuff, if they say something wrong, if they say something weird, if they use bad grammar, if they spell something wrong, and a bunch of other random crap in general. so i guess i cant double standard myself and not get called on it, whether’s it by myself or by someone else. someone’s gotta do it! so why not have it be me? im not gonna let you win! i dont like it when other people are right. i like it when they left. haha get it?

blah blah blah ramble ramble i dont really know where this is going to go but lets see what happens. what im basically going to do is keep typing whatever comes to my mind without going back and deleting anything. however i will correct typing errors because that would just be really annoying to read. now i just heard kid cudi say ratatat in the background. pursuit of happiness. happyness? i dont know, but that song is dope. i enjoy the sky when its blue, but even when its not. when its pitch black outside its kinda cool too, dont you think? what about the concrete? when i used to rollerblade (i know this is the second straight reference to rollerblading) but i hated it when id roll over rocks and it would ef me up. lol rollover. when a tire blows out and you roll over. not lol. rollover minutes. if you dont use it, you lose it? forty year old virgin. is forty really that old? im not that far away. but i am. up up and away. higher and higher up into the sky. like in up. with the balloons. how do you like them balloons? apples? oranges? bananas? mangos? or is it mangoes? no, i was right the first time. put the wrong emPHAsis on the wrong sylLAble. try and say that 172 times fast! i bet you cant do it. speed is relative though right? or is just “fast” relative? slow down, let me get to know you. how do i get to know if you speed on by me? remember will smith said roll through five miles an hour, so everybody sees you. if you speed by, then no one really gets to see that car you spent “all day waxing”. speakers. speaker box. box. atlas box. did you know they have bags for the boxes? that makes it seem all legit when you pile 8 atlas boxes on top of each other that have nylon (or whatever material they are) covers. its a lot less legit when you see 8 boxes that are all different sizes, with a million different types of beige rope, bulging at random areas with masking tape all over the place. thats just the difference between legit and non-legit. dont you feel like googling everything? im gonna google the world and im also going to wiki the world. i guess google just brings me what it thinks im looking for. but you know what, a lot of the times, one of the first things that comes up in the results when i google something that i dont know what it is, is the wiki article. isnt that weird? haha weird. lol reminds me of michael from my wife and kids, when he says “weeeirddd” funny in that one episode. its been a while since ive watched that show. watches. knick knack. napkin. people. walking outside in the middle of the night. make sure i gotta find street parking so that i dont get towed. got a no front plate fix it ticket today. what a trick. i looked at the meter and i was 100% it was still flashing green. saw the ticket. looked at it. disappointment ensued. is that even a real word? i guess i could google it. haha but it would be easier if i just looked it up in a dictionary. at first you might say that would be more difficult. and then you might be like, do you actually even have a dictionary around? then id be like NO FOOL dictionary.com! or even the dictionary widget on my computer. idiot. i could probably count the number of books here in my room on one hand. if my hand had at least five fingers. five of those fingers are being used to type. so are the other five. i wonder which of the fingers gets the most keyboard action? i press the space bar with my right thumb. i feel like the pinkies get the least play. actually now that i think about it. my left pinky, my right pointer, and my right thumb probably get the most play. mostly for the reason that i type out “hahahah” a lot. and of course i press the space bar a lot. if i didnt, then all of my entries would look like the following (you can decide when im doing making an example): ifididntuseanyspacesthenthingswouldbereallydifficulttoreadbutthenagain(hahaitypedoutbuttjustnow)iwouldsavealotofkeystrokes.butthenagainiwouldhavetotypealotmoreforpapersandessaysthathaveaminimumcharactercount.wouldthiscountasanentirewordinbetweenperiods?whoknows. smartwater bottle, haha you thought i was going to continue with my example when i typed out “smartwater” huh? gotcha. trick! magic! magic trick! how come they just couldnt just give him some cereal?! haha i loved that show.
Trix are for kids

it’s all downhill from here

what does that even mean? it’s always been a quandry to me. ok im not really asking exactly what it means, but im just trying to figure out the difference between when someone says, “its all downhill from here” versus “its all uphill from here”. ok because in my head, when something is going downhill, that’s kinda like “when you’re at the top, the only way to go is down” which is a bad thing, right? but then again, going downhill is easier than going uphill. and when you’re going uphill, when you’re using that as progress, that’s a good thing. its one of those things that always has me thinking whenever i choose to use it in conversation. going uphill is definitely more difficult, i always think about when i was younger and used to rollerblade, i would have the most difficult time going up hills. there was this park by my house that i used to go to, and then id go down the hill all crazy, but then remember how difficult it was to go back up. sin wave. ok i guess when im going to be talking about the ease/difficulty of something, then im going to use downhill, but then when im talking about progress, then i’ll use uphill? i dont know man, its still pretty difficult to easily distinguish the two from each other in quick conversation. now that im thinking about it, im getting more and more confused, and im almost at the point where im going to not even use it anymore. it will always be that hindrance from having fluid conversation. you know when you’re talking to someone and they stutter hardcore, dont you notice it pretty easily? especially when its pointed out. but in general, whenever anything is pointed out, doesnt it feel like you start to notice it around more and more? like when someone says “its the end of the month there are more cops out” you start noticing more cops around. but in that case, maybe there really are more cops around, but then what if its only because you’re looking for it? i had this teacher, strassburg, who pronouned “human” and “huge” as “you-man” and “you-ge”, and as soon as we noticed it, i could NOT stop hearing it! and the thing is, its not like i know he’s gonna say the word human or huge and then anticipate how he’s gonna say it, i just hear it and it sticks out like a sore thumb (btw, how much does a sore thumb actually stick out? its not like these are cartoons and it gets all huge and red and swollen after hitting it with a hammer or something, yenno?) maybe its my subconsious just keeping a keen ear for it. maybe it takes note of what things we’ve written down in our mind as something notable. if i was talking to you, and i was like, dude, brunettes are mad hot. and then you never really noticed before, but then after a while, you were like, yeah brunettes really are hot! did i just somehow convert you? or did i make you notice? i guess maybe we’re good at highlighting things in our mind, and then as we glaze around in life, we notice the things that are highlighted or in bold. command-B! they say you should really observe things around you, right? but what if you’re such a keen observer that you notice a lot of things that annoy you? would you consider being less observant? its like having a skill or superpower that’s so awesome that it becomes counterproductive. like what if you could read people’s minds? at first, you’d be like, dude that so dope! but then after a while, no matter how awesome it is, you would realize that you couldnt live your life normally anymore. of course, for the most part, that would be because if you could read people’s minds, you’re already automatically not normal. you’d be able to see people for what they really are thinking when theyre talking to you, you could see what theyre really trying to say if theyre lying to you, and wouldnt that be crazy!? if i could pick a superpower, it would definitely be teleporting.
