So I'm looking up songs to sing tomorrow at a prayer service for the mentally disabled, and I discovered that some children Bible songs are some of the most ridiculous things EVER.
1. "Be Above It, Never Covet."
2. "Be True to Your Mate, Mate."
3. "Don't Bow Down to Idols"
4. "Choose Your Daddy."
5. "I'm gonna feed (500 mouths)" - And yes, it is a parody of "I would walk (500 miles)" by the Proclaimers
6. "Get Found Tonight" - Heck yes. It sounds like "Get Down Tonight" by K.C. and the Sunshine Band
7. "Tis so Sweet to Trust Jesus"
Enjoy. I sure did.

My wish.
Life moves at a pace that is simply unfathomable right now. Let me put it this way - I'm so tired that by 8 o'clock at night, I don't feel tired anymore. Which causes me to stay awake longer than I really should. Which results in complete exhaustion the following day.
And the cycle continues day in and day out.
It's not that anything is particularly bad right now. My main complaint is the lack of time spent with friends, particularly the lack of much needed Pam-Tim time. Other than that, life is good. I just need a day where I can drink some cranberry apple tea, read some Emerson, curl up under a heated blanket, and sleep for as long as my little heart desires. Ah, what a magical and splendid day that would be.
Justin and I went to check out the poetry reading on campus today - it was Albert Goldbarth. He was phenomenal. A bit risque, too - I thought for sure that the gathering of old women would get up and storm out after the 5th time he said "fuck," or the 50th time he said "bra." If they left, they would have really missed out. If done right, poetry readings are the most amazing and tranquil of events. You go into a room, sit down, and listen to language. You don't even have to fully comprehend everything that's going on in the poem - you can just listen to the words. I love it.
Anyways, I'm off to finish reading The Plague. Joy!

Whoa.
It's been a wee bit too long since I last wrote a blog. Yikes.
So, life has been insane. A couple of weeks ago we had our fall retreat for SJF. Unbelievable, as always. Especially the ride up - Manda and I followed through with our second year of driving up, getting insanely lost, and laughing the entire way to the point where my stomach hurt after.
After getting home from that, it was really hard adjusting back into the swing of things, which I think is the main reason why I haven't blogged in so long. When you go on retreat, you kind of get into that "I love everyone and everything!" mentality, and then you come home and life kind of bitch slaps you again. Not fun.
But, anyways, the semester is rolling on, the campaign is continuing, and I'm deciding on my costume for Halloween. (I'm leaning towards going as a large white garbage bag stuffed with newspaper...get it? I'll be white trash!!)
My next post will be more exciting. I promise.

Oh headlines.
So, while perusing the online edition of the New York Times, I found a headline that said "Water Bears Triumph Over Outer Space."
...Now, I know what they were getting at. But all I could picture were big bears made out of water, swimming their way through outer space and placing a flag on all the planets in order to claim their territory.
Maybe I'm studying too much and my brain needed a vacation, but that made me giggle all the same.

Ever see a clip of something that's so amazingly funny that you can't stop giggling about it all day?
Yeup. This is one of those clips.

A break
I've just read a grand total of five chapters from my textbooks, as well as a few pages of classical philosophy from Plato and Socrates. So, I had to take a break to do my blog for my media and social identity class.
While surfing the web to find an article, I discovered that in blogs that people write for CNN or NY Times, you'll get the occasional AOL lingo. "That's sad," I thought to myself. "You would think they'd at least come up with some new little sayings just to be impressive in their 15 minutes of fame."
Then, I had the realization that there HAS to be lingo that I don't know about. So I looked up a list. And here's the fucking goldmine that I found.
CUI - Cracking up inside
CUL8R - See you later
CTN - Can't talk now
FTW - For the win (What the fuck?! Yeah, because I use that in my everyday chat.)
KOTC - Kiss on the cheek
IMO - In my opinion
SHR - Shower (...Really?)
YT - You there
YTB - You're the best
STFW - Search the fucking web (No, seriously, it was on the list.)
And...last but not least...
ROFLMAO
Yeah, there are a lot of people who say that our generation will be far surpassing in intelligence in every way, shape, and form. In my opinion (or IMO), if we can't even remember how to properly use real words, let alone in a sentence form, let alone understand and apply the more complex rules of grammar, I'm not quite sure how far we'll get...

Ah! Funny story!
I told Justin and Katie this story earlier, and I can't believe I didn't blog about it!
So, a while ago I was at DSW shoe store (if you make one comment along the lines of "You're such a woman," I'll jump through the screen and kick your ass). I was standing in line to make my purchase, and I proceeded to people watch.
A bigger woman was walking towards the doors, not looking where she was going because she was busy texting. (Now, before I proceed to tell the rest of the story, I want to emphasize how clean the windows on the doors were - they were spotless.) Anyways, she seemed to think that these super clean windows were a magical portal to the outside world. So, without stopping or slowing down or fucking anything, she slams into the window. The whole think shook to the point where I was sure it was going to break. She looks up from her texting with an expression similar to a deer's after it gets broadsided by a car, she scoots out the door as quickly as possible, and continues texting.
...I felt so bad, but at the same time, I couldn't stop laughing. It was just like watching an overly-large sparrow flying towards the window and thinking "...He's not going to stop."
