Onion Assignment

I'm sorry but I can't do this onion (shudders) assignment. You see I hate onions. I even hate saying that awful O-word. It's offensive to all 5 senses and sometimes the 6th one. If I were to complete this assignment then I would be condoning that onions are ok...but they're not.

Object Assignment (Fork)

Ok, so the very first week we were given a fork to love and to cherish. I gave all the love and time that I could to this fork, but it still wasn't enough. At the time of the due date I was too embarrassed to say that my fork had up and left me for better things, never to return...or so I thought.


It was very hard to cope with my loss but I pushed on, never looking back, and certainly never shedding a tear.


Well some time had passed and wouldn't you know my fork came back. But he wasn't the same fork as before. It turns out that my fork had traveled to the future in order to escape this world where forks were used merely as tools. Not only does he have a new look but he can also shoot lazer beams (pew pew). Oh, and did I mention he's pissed?

Play-Doh Caves

ZOMG I LUV MAKING PLAY-DOH CAVES! Sometimes the play-doh gets in my fingers and then I have to spend a lot of time washing them so that people don't think I'm dirty.


But in all seriousness, Plato's cave metaphor brings up an interesting premise, and to me contains an undeniable truth. I think that it is human nature to accept what you see as truth and it can become very difficult for a different paradigm to take place when something new or unexplained is introduced. I try to be as opened minded as I can in order to prevent dismissing ideas or thoughts that could otherwise benefit me or expand my thinking.

(I'm not sure why the picture has inverted colors.)

"What the Bleep Do We Know" thoughts

I had seen the movie before but not in it's entirety. I think a lot of being able to enjoy this movie is to have a very open mind, especially on matters that haven't even been touched on in school. It still hasn't sunk in completely and I'm writing this a month after seeing it so that goes to show you how abstract it can be.

I do agree with most things that were said in the film, for example, I think that the attitude that one carries with them truly affects all aspects of that persons life. The example of the water crystals showed this and really surprised me with the results.

I found the part with the wedding party particularly interesting. (Warning: Long Sentence Ahead) I knew we had a complex system of nerves and connections that we used to create emotions but I never really thought about how past experiences can create new connections while severing others which can create completely different reactions, most of which are undesired. Our bodies are amazing, especially the human psyche.

I didn't completely understand the small part about the atoms that repel each other (negative repelling positive, or something like that). What I got from it was that nothing really completely touches each other. They gave the example of the basketball "hitting" the pavement, when in actuality it gets repelled from the pavement's surface. Maybe I am reading that part completely wrong but I just didn't fully comprehend it. I mean, I know I can touch things because I can describe how they feel.

All in all it was a very interesting and entertaining movie. I hear there is a second one out and plan on watching that one as well.

The 2 hours + some of my own time...

I know this is a long time coming however I still remember what I did for the couple hours of my own time.

I went out to a bar with a friend to meet one of my other friend's parents, kinda weird huh? Not really.

I truly have never met parents like this - we shall name them D and S. I had been going to their house on a regular basis all 4 years of high school to chill with my friend. Every time we hung out at their house they made me feel utterly and completely welcomed, like a part of their family. I was at their house so often that they eventually left the door unlocked for me to come in (I'd knock first of course). They didn't treat just me like this though, we had a core group of about 4 other guys that they made just as welcomed. Through this time we celebrated birthdays, family gatherings, camping trips, cedar point vacations, and made countless films in their basement: astronaut, wild west, ninja - you know all the standard stuff.

Anyway getting to present time...We met D and S at a local bar and had many drinks and cheers to the "good ol' days". Lots of shared memories were had and tons of laughing. It was just a great way to relax and spend time with friends. So yea that's what I did for my "Do whatever the hell I want" time.

So I have been slacking off this semester so unbelievably, I think my brain is just ready to be done with school forever. At the moment I am in the midst of an epic battle with it (my brain). I WILL get these assignments done, I plan on hitting them up hard this week. Pllllllllllllease be patient with me, I will not disappoint (I hope).
