Silence of the Lamb...

I'd like to say that I haven't posted recently due to the fact that I was abducted by the Russians because I was getting too close to the truth. I'd like to say that....but it would be a lie. In reality, I have just had little interest in writing due to the large amount of writing I have had to do for papers. This is "crunch" time afterall.

Now, having said that...just because I wasn't abducted, doesn't mean I was wrong about the Russians. Think about it...if they had abducted me, it would have been obvious. These guys are pros remember....they know how to the play the game.

Speaking of playing games, Renata found an old VHS tape of hers that had some episodes of X-Files on them...and I gotta say, that show really wasn't very good. What were we thinking when we watched it? (Oh and I realize that has nothing to do with games...but I'm writing this, not you....so back off!)

It is a strange phenomenon of men that we seem to always be looking for the "conspiracy" in things. I think that's why a show like X-Files did so well. For some reason we can't help but feel like there is something more to our everyday mundane lives. I wonder if this is, in a way, part of our desire for God? Or maybe just a need for adventure? I know that I crave adventure from time to time...although if I really did stumble upon a huge plot by the Russian's and they came to kill me, I think I would get over that desire VERY quickly. Now don't get me wrong... I don't necessarily think that I'm a wuss (I am), but I have a very low tolerance for being killed. Seriously...I think it might be an allergy. There have been very few times when I thought I might die and my body COMPLETELY rejected it. I'm sure there are medications you can take for that...but I figure I can live with an allergy to death.

By the way...If you are reading this, and smell a slight odor that reminds you of vodka...RUN!

Consistently Inconsistent

It's been awhile since I've blogged...not because I haven't had any good ideas, but mostly because I'm lazy and inconsistent when it comes to actually writing these ideas out.

So let me ask you guys a question...
Have any of you been to Russia lately?

I personally have not...in fact I've never been there, but I've spent some time thinking about former Red Communists and a thought popped into my mind. What if there was no collapse? What if the Communists are still in power in Mother Russia and this is all part of a cleverly thought out plan to take over the world? It makes sense...people were hot on their trail, constantly watching them...so they "pretend" to fall from power to get the attention off them. Meanwhile they are lying in wait, watching and planning...waiting for the right time to strike. I could be wrong...but then again I could be right.

I've also come up with a much more cost effective way to help people quit smoking. I call it virtual smoking. They say that people usually have a harder time getting over the routine more then they do the actual nicotine...so let's make a computer program that simulates the routine. People in offices all over North America could pop onto the program every few hours and have a simulated smoke (Cancer free) and relax for a few minutes in their chairs. Wow, just talking about is making me crave one...anyone have a virtual light?

I was just looking in Jon's bathrooom, and I noticed that he has alot of Nivea For Men stuff...which gave me a flashback to my childhood. When I was little my Mom was always putting Nivea cream on my face if I had a sunburn and maybe even just randomly. Does that mean that all this time I was using female cosmetics?

Loose Ends...

It's late...and I don't really have alot of creative energy flowing right now, but I guess I will take the time to reply to some you.

1. Stephanie - I visited your blog...looked at the pictures, then was reminded of my incredibly short attention span. I plan to go back there again...I just haven't succeeded in following through on that yet. I think I may be self centered. (Hmmm...do you suppose that simply thinking you are self centered is proof that you are? Cause I mean...you are thinking about yourself.)

2. Sween - Starbucks is a different type of coffee then Tim Horton's. And Budweiser is definitely a different type of coffee. I'm not sure if it has caffine or not...but I've been told that beer leads to a mental deficiency involving a deep obsession with parrots, commitment issues and a severe hatred for people named Doug. Of course I also heard that coffee causes cancer. (Actually I've never heard that...but so many things are attributed to causing cancer that I'm just going to operate under the assumption that EVERYTHING does.)

3. Jo - I think it's funny that anyone would actually read this stuff...cause half the time I'm sure I don't make any sense at all. But if it is "link worthy" in your opinion, then by all means add it. As for Renata...I'm sure she won't mind at all...although both of us are guilty of going days without updating our blogs. Hers are usually much more intellectually interesting though. (Hey, I just realized that I have this strange habit of putting quotation marks around things that aren't actually quotes. For instance here...I said "link worthy" as if I was quoting you...but I wasn't. I wonder if there is counseling for that?)

4. Anonymous - You came into my life for a brief period...but you had such an impact that I wish you would return. Your comments always give me that little pick me up I need...I miss you Anonymous.

5. Matt - I have been to your blog and appreciate your system. Although I'm concerned a little about something...maybe it's just me, but I get this vibe that you might have something against "Doug's"...is this true. Are you on the wagon? We can help you. If nothing else, we can help you replace your unhealthy alcoholism with a healthy and more socially acceptable caffine addiction.

Okay...my energy is run out. Wow that is a grammatically terrible sentance. It almost sounds like I no understand the english.

Wow...this is how it feels to be punched in the face.

Every once in awhile I actually learn a thing or two...and today has been one of those days. So here's a little list of some things I learned:

1. Technology hates me. I'm not really sure why...I don't even know when it all began, but it is extremely obvious to me now. Need some evidence?
Exibit A: Jon's computer. First Call of Duty 2 crashed three times. Then Need For Speed Most Wanted broke...then his internet decided to fail me.
Exhibit B: I keep losing on the "Roll Up the RIM to WIN" from Tim Horton's...although in my case it should be called "Spend Money to Feel like a Loser". I'm not sure why I feel this falls under the technology part, but I figure that with coffee this good it has to be technologically advanced.

2. The person who "claims" that you get used to getting up early is a liar. I've been waking up for 6:15am for half a semester now, and every time it feels like someone is sacking me.

3. Bright Sunny Days = Intense Cold. Sure, it looks extremely nice out...but once you step outside you discover that it is pathetically cold.

4. Blogging is the new time killer. This morning I spent an hour "surfing" blogs...and I don't usually do that much. I can't imagine how much time people normally lose when they consistently read everyone's blog.

5. Friday before March Break is basically useless. This morning I went to class and wanted to pay attention...but let's face it...it's break time...

6. I am too lazy to continue...wow...that's pretty bad...too lazy to even finish this post...
