So I was in ASL and I listened to "the fisher mans wife" it was a good story and I just thought life relates to that. For those of you who have not ever heard it, it's about a man who lives in an old shack-like house and he fishes for a living. He catches a fish that happens to be a prince and could talk, so he let it go. When he got home his wife insisted that he go back and have the fish give them a better house. The fish does and the wife is happy for a while. But then she tells him to go back and give them a castle. She keeps wanting more and finally she wanted to be equal to god, and lost everything.
I feel like this can relate to how pretty much everyone lives. They want bigger and better. Then better. Then even better or even bigger. And we lose sight of what's important. And lose everything eventually because nothing Was ever good enough. I think that if people just lived with what they had, then life would be better for every one.

Swearing
I think swearing is dumb. Why? Because it's pointless. Also this:
When you use the s word, you are talking about poop.
The d word, you are talking about a dam. So rather than expressing how you feel like that is a "wow" moment, you talk about an object.
Those are just two. But honestly all of the swearwords have alternatives and they make more sense. Plus, referring back to the post I did a while back about the quote:
When you tell a filthy story, do you ever stop to think, what impression you have made upon the crowd? Do you think the boys enjoy it? Do you think that because they laugh, you have sufficient reason to be proud? Do you know that you exhibit all that is within your soul, when a filthy story passes from your tongue? It reveals your own defilement , it proclaims your ignorance, it disgusts all decent boys who love real fun. Do you think that you exhibit any real common sense, when you show the crowd how rotten is your mind? Do you now That you dishonor your parents and your friends? Think it over boy, and that is what you'll find. Be a little choice in language; be a little more refined, if respect of those around you you would win. You will have a great advantage over those who are inclined to go through life in filth and slime and sin.
Does that not relate to swearing? Sorry to put that up again, but I just think it is so good!

Random things
So I am aware that I have not posted consistently for a while. So I am going to post some today.
I was looking at the stats (tells you how many people look at your blog) and I have Like 547 views. But I was looking at the other things it shows, and it's pretty nifty.
I have someone from Germany and Russia reading my blog. But most of the people reading this are from the US.
54% of the views are used with the safari browser.
Most of them are from windows or iPads.
People mostly link to thus blog from Facebook.
I personally thing this is nifty. In fact, I am using an iPad right now. :)

Random things I want
So I was thinking about what to blog about, and was going to do random
Thoughts this week, but it turned into random things I want with my future. So here goes.
1. I want to have enough money to randomly do things like; drive across the country, travel somewhere... Something like that. I don't want to be extremely rich... But I do want to be able to say "hey this sounds like fun. Let's do it" and randomly splurge every once in a while... Maybe that is super rich?
2. Live somewhere really new. Not like Nevada, or somewhere close to Utah. In fact probably not even a state touching the state of Utah. I just want to be different.
3. Have a Camaro. My friends know about this obsession. I love Camaros and mustangs. But mostly Camaros. If you don't believe I am obsessed, just ask someone I hang out with a lot.
Ok so be prepared now guys... (and girls) I am going to reveal things i want my future spouse to be like.
4. I want to marry a black guy. Or someone not from the U.S. If you want to know why... Ask me in person. I probably shouldn't say it online. It's a dumb reason. I'm not to strict with it, but I want it to happen.
5. I want to marry someone who is... I don't know the word to explain it. But I am the type of person who likes to be an idiot. I don't care what people think or who I annoy. My goal is to have fun, and that's how I go about doing it. I don't do it by myself though. So I want to marry someone who is like that. But he needs to be serious at the right times. You know?
Okay so we are just going to replace "I want to marry someone who..." with bob. Its just easier to use. Hopefully no bobs are reading this...
6. Bob will want to take these random trips with me
7. Bob will listen to me babble on about pointless things and deal with my quick subject changes and non-ability to stay on topic.
8. Bob MUST be patient. Like if I ever date a guy and he loses patience quickly, it's done. I won't deal with... Non-patience... <- is it just me or does that sound weird...
9. Last one. Bob needs to be good with kids.
Anyways. That's not it, but it's most of it. And yeah... Well happy thanksgiving everyone! Hope you enjoyed reading this :)

Nails
I love to do nails. I am going through a phase right now where I do them a ton. For at least the past month I have had them painted. A few days ago I was thinking "I am going to just leave my nails natural for a little while." so I took off the nail polish, looked at my nails and I knew deep down... This won't work. It just looked so weird. So weird. So I thought "well I will put clear on so it's smooth" but... Looking at them more, I gave in and painted them. I wonder... do I have an obsession? Do I paint them to much? What do you think?

Much more to life
I have discovered there is much more to life than regular chocolate and vanilla frosting. Or all those other normal frostings. You can have frosting of pretty much whatever flavor.
Pink lemonaide
Root beer
Caramel
Etc.
You were probably expecting something profound, but that's all I got.
