It drove me nuts. I was at Walmart with my girlfriend. If I remember correctly we had exactly eight items: two things of pizza dough, pizza sauce, two packages of pizza cheese stuff, a box of noodles, some sauce for those noodles, and some cookie dough. So, naturally we headed to the express check out lane. I checked over our selection and made sure we had the proper amount... then BAM. I noticed the lady in front of us had like fifty items and a full cart. I was like, "Wut. Are. You. Doing?"
My girlfriend insisted it wasn't a big deal. But I mean, that's what the express lane is for... It's for people who don't have a lot of things and who want to be in and out. It's not so people getting their once-a-month groceries can have a nice short line, but so I can get home and make my pizzas at a decent time. I mean that's like driving under the speed limit in the fast lane. You DON'T do that.
A friend and I are going to write a book I think. If anything, it'll be a short sto
ry. Also, is there anyone out there who does any form of editing? If so, comment! :D I need an editor.
I've been asking everyone this: How many words can you think of that start with the letter "A" and end with an "E?" And what video games can you think of that don't have the letter "E?" Have fun. :p
I’m incredibly proud of my brother, Victor, who is currently stationed in Afghanistan with the Marine Corp. (Great job, bro!) Anyway, I was so surprised a few days ago have him say “I met Peyton Manny!” I was like, “What?!” I guess every once in a while, celebrities go out and visit our military servicemen and women overseas and do some sort of special appearance. When Peyton Manning joined the Denver Broncos, everyone was a little wary about whether or not he was going to positively impact them. What I’ve seen since was that he’s a great leader and an amazing quarterback. I guess I can’t get any more impressed with him. (Check out the picture below.)
I was just so surprised that he’d gone, and Victor was thrilled. So, guys, become a Denver fan. And maybe you can’t fly overseas and visit them at their base, but keep them in your prayers. Always be grateful for their sacrifices (past and present) and keep them in your thoughts. Also, if you’re someone who has serve: Thank you for what you’ve done.
Honestly, though, I would’ve signed up right out of high school but because I’m missing an eye, I can’t join.
I wanted to also do a post about Lent. I apologize because it's almost over, but better late than never, right? So, a lot of people like to look at Lent as a time to sacrifice or make yourself suffer so you remember Christ's suffering on the cross. I personally think that's the wrong attitude to have towards it. I mean, I could be wrong. I'm no theologian. But I believe that God didn't send His only son to die on a cross, and then for us to try to suffer like it. And if that was the case, giving up pop or dieting isn't going to come close. (I've done it too, I know...) The point, I think, is to grow closer to God and strengthen your relationship with Him. Let me put it this way: For Lent, I'm going to make sure I'm at church every Sunday, and I'm going to pray before I sleep and when I wake every day. Some of these things I don't do regularly, and for Lent I am going to do them, and then continue to do so after. I picked something that can improve my relationship with God and make me a more godly person and I'm going to continue to do it after Easter.
If you give up something like watching basketball, all I gotta ask is this: "So what? Where do you benefit spiritually?" Instead, make it something like this: I'm going to give up watching basketball for Lent. In turn, I'm going to pray or read the Bible instead of watching it. See where I'm going with this?
Anyway, I could be totally off. And that's okay. I'm up for any thoughts or feedback. So, I'm changing my Lenten dealio and I'm probably still not going to drink Mountain Dew, but I'm going to start that praying every day because it's something I've left out in the past.
Also, anyone who reads this... it would mean A LOT if you went to this page (link here) and shared it with your friends. Basically, I'm trying to build up an audience, which will hopefully result in more feedback and discussion here.
So, thanks for visiting again and checking out what's in my brain. Have a wonderful day, and may the Force be with you.
Random Fact of the Day: You will be fined $250,000 and possibly sentenced 6 months in prison if you destroy a bald eagle egg. Crazy, right? What's crazier is that we allow, and practically encourage, abortion. Eagles may be an endangered species... so are logical people? Who knows. Thoughts?
