Randomness of my mind

I was reminded today in a big way that my life rocks....I know I will complain about being tired from school or stressed out, but if I look at my life in the big picture sense it is outstanding. Big ups (yes I just said big ups) to the Lord for carrying me through some pretty hard crap, I wouldn't be the person I am today without them. I don't mean to brag....I have some unfun stuff that I have to deal with from time to time, but I've got the most amazing people down here helping me through them...It's amazing to finally get to a place where you can look back on a situation that broke your heart, and your like BOOYA I don't even give a care...I love love love that feeling.

In other non-self affirming news I saw an awesome old man on a moped yesterday....There were fifty thousand tractors on Mansfield Rd, Bert Kouns, and Williamson Way this morning....is there a tractor convention in town?? Bobby Jindal is going to be on Leno tonight or sometime soon (I can't remember the date). I thought this to be quite odd, who cares what the Governor of Louisiana has to say....then I remembered Hurricane Katrina and all the political implications that apply.

In awesome news the diet dr pepper can has Indiana Jones (Finder of Rare Antiquities and the First Name in Adventure)....I wish that appeared everytime my name was mentioned....that would amazing....So I'm in a very good mood....not that I'm usually in a bad mood....today it's just extra good....I might be crying in like three days because I have massive amounts of assignments do......(enter feeling of sickness)

What say you say??

Doubt is a crazy thing. We doubt a lot of things in our lives. As a generation we're pretty cynical. I think cynicism is the heart of doubt. I had a discussion tonight about doubt. We talked about how doubt doesn't necessarily have to be a bad thing. It can be channeled into something productive. As long as it doesn't rule our life it can be used as a building block. I just thought I would jot this down, and I thought this was a pretty good place to do it. I have a lot of doubt in my life. I doubt myself. I doubt the human race (I lose faith in it a lot). There are things that I don't lose faith in, but I do doubt sometimes. I guess that's all for now. I just need to chew on this...like a good piece of gristle....(that's just an analogy...I don't chew on gristle....that...is....gross).

well....

So I had just finished writing my post for this week, and my the computer I'm on deleted it....just deleted it! What did I ever do to you Mr. Computer!!! Jerk...
I guess the post was kind of lame anyway, maybe it was doing me a favor. Maybe I'm giving an electronic item that isn't alive too much credit, maybe...??
I've got three more weeks left of school, and let me tell you I'm ready for them to be over. I'm going to be in Long Barn, CA this summer, and it can not possibly get here fast enough. Yosemite flipping Park will basically be my backyard. Come on now...
I'm trying to stay focused on school, but it's not really working. I'm trying to make this blog fun and witty, but that's not really working either. Maybe if I just sit here for a minute something will come to me........................................................................................................................................................ no....that didn't really work either. How can I possibly be expected to stay indoors on a day like this. I think I'm going to go outside and play. I encourage you to do the same.

Domo Arigato Mr Roboto?

We went on a "field trip" to sci-port the other day. It was...interesting. It was a workshop for future teachers on how to conduct and get in order a field trip to THE Sci-Port. They waxed poetically at the building. It was new this and new that. You must bring your class of 30 to the Lewis and Clark Imax movie! It was all kind of routine, and then she mentioned....the robots...dun dun dun. I don't know about you, but robots have always creeped me out. Their cold steely bodies...and crazy eyes. I didn't even like Rosie from The Jetsons! Apparently Sci-Port is going to be getting a robot exhibit. Must we? I mean really, must we? I know this is an irrational fear, but have you seen IRobot? Well, Have you???!!!(I'm directing these questions to the people at Sci-Port, not you, I'm not yelling at you). I for one am not going to be a fan of the future if it involves Artifical Intelligence overthrowing our human race. Just saying.
