Last night was mad real.  Welcome to my summer of 2012.  Look ma’, I’m actually using correct punctuation nowadays.  Actually using capital letters.  Am I also going to use complete sentences?  Maybe.  It’s still a blog and now that I’m doing this, I’m also realizing that I’m wasting a lot of extra keystrokes on the shift key.  Oh well.  This would be much easier on the iPhone, where it does all of this stuff for me, sorta.  I’m pretty much a “send-key-fanatic” when I text, sending messages where commas should be, failing to have more than one complete sentence in most texts, and believing that “hahaha” constitutes a message in itself.  I guess all of these extra keystrokes isn’t even that bad.  It kinda looks more grown.  Somewhat like when guys started wearing pants that actually fit and quit letting everyone see what color their underwear was.  Talking to myself?  Maybe.  I swear it took me like a decade to realize that even though my skinny body frame could be compared to an Ethiopian boy, actually wearing clothes that fit me would make me look less ridiculous instead of looking like someone stole all of my clothes and Jonah Hill (not the skinny Jonah Hill, but the big one from Accepted) came to the rescue and said I could take any of his clothes to wear.  

Complete sentences, complete thoughts, complete spelling.  I could definitely use “U” instead of “you” and that would surely save me a couple keystrokes, but how much time am I actually saving?  A few milliseconds, perhaps.  It’s sort of like when drivers speed to save copious amounts of time to get to their destination, when in reality, they might just save a couple of minutes.  That’s pretty negligible in my opinion, unless every minute to your destination counts.  It’s the increase in speed over long distances that really make the difference.

Kind of like making changes in your life.

You can always try to make short term changes and tweaks and enter into the “win now” mode, maybe trying to rectify a mistake or improve a bad situation.  But maybe it’s just actually changing the overall philosophy that will make the most effective improvements.  I remember back when I first started undergrad, I thought I’d be able to cruise through my classes like I did during high school and still get decent grades.  Unfortunately, that definitely was not the case.  After every test, I’d say that I will make a change to study earlier and more often for the next one.  What happened at the next test?  The same thing.  Haha it was like a revolving process, kinda like Groundhog Day or an attempt in trying to change the game in Vantage Point (horrible).  It might have taken me a while, but I think I eventually changed my philosophy.  Maybe I just got older and realized that even though I look like a kid, I can’t use that as an excuse to ef around anymore.  I think the same goes for those in relationships trying to work things out.  

Everyone has issues, but it’s up to you to implement long lasting change versus a short term fix.  Last week I found out that the dish soap pump we have in the kitchen had a crack in it, and that’s why it kept leaking soap into the sink.  I tried taping it up with masking tape to fix it.  It still leaks and now I have to get a new one.  I’m not saying if your gf/bf is stupid, to not try and fix them and just get a new one.  Well, am I?  No, I’m just saying if they are, just take masking tape to try and shut them up so that it gives you some time to find a new one.

Haha.

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.
