| Whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable -if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things. -Phillipians 4:8 ================================ I'm pretty sure we are told to do this because Paul knew something. Or did he? Did he realize what he was talking about? I don't know... I do know, however... that whatever we think about... good or bad, will manifest. If we are feeling afraid or dreadful about something, and we continue to dwell on those things, what will happen? The something will. It's almost as if we're subconsciously asking for things those to happen. God--the Creator--the universe-- whatever or whomever you hold as a higher power---intends for us to have an abundant life. Full of joy. Full of peace. Full of positivity and full of love. In order to experience this to the fullest, we must feel good. That will attract good things. Give thanks in everything! There is MUCH to be thankful for!!! If we live our lives being thankful and thinking of whatever is true, noble, right, pure, lovely, admirable, excellent or praiseworthy, and we concentrate on THOSE things, then only good can come and we will be empowered to share our happiness effortlessly with others. That is the heart of constant praise. That is the heart of positivity. That is the heart of anything good. And that is the key to contentment and happiness. | | |
| One of the most amazing things that could have happened to me today...
I forget a lot of the time how important music is to me... and how it helps
so many people. The thoughts that are blessed enough to have a concise and driven enough host to convert them perfectly
into syncopatible prose ... are what i love about music that contain words. And the music that does not contain those words-- manages to rend the gloomy mood i develop. When I am at my saddest, I realize that I'm not with a consistent and variable melody in my head...
Then... Then i discover that's also the catylist to my sadness. I cannot be without it, nor it me... for too long. There's something unexplainable about music for me. No matter the kind, as long as there is a balance of good... and well, awful. Today, I haven't said much to anyone... but I am feeling so tranquil and relaxed... I haven't felt like this in a while. I love what it does to me... To whomever left your headphones on my desk last night I say you are currently my hero. I can't wait to share my appreciation and passion for it in a classroom. | | |
| Does anyone remember one of the dreadful phrases to utter
or hear a sibling utter as "I'm bored"??? I do. I didn't say it very often at all. Because i knew better....
but STILL i did it every once in a while. And i always realized
what I was saying right as it was too late. Then came a list, of about 3 most random, ridiculous chores.... that took up 6 hours to do. Man...that sucked. | | |
| Some weird poetry, by one of my favorites, Dave Fischer. Cheese Grater by David Fischer I thought that using the screen
on the front door
as a cheese grater
was a great idea
untill I realized that all my grated cheese
was outside on the ground
feeding a family of mice. ======================================= Cotton Candy by David Fischer You evolve when you're eating cotton candy.
Once while eating cotton candy,I absorbed my watch into my arm.
Later, it reappeared on my other arm,
subtley modified.
All the displays except the second hand
had been removed.
In my cotton-candy induced stat
eof enhanced powerand blinding high-speed clarity,
my body had subconsciously optimized
the design of my timekeeping device,
removing unnecessary and
distracting components,while reducing energy consumption
and simplifying packaging.
It had also changed the minute
from 60 seconds
to 58 seconds.
I can't begin to explain
how much shaving those two seconds off
of every minute
has helped me in all aspects of my life.
If anything, THAT is why I am where I am today. ====================================

| thought this was HIGHLY entertaining. Enjoy:]
Dipping is the fine art of running away from some sort of mayhem
that you have just caused, whether you crashed your sister's birthday
party or set off fireworks in the middle of the road on the 4th of July
or someone is chasing you. This is the best way to dip from any
situation that requires you to run like hell.
Steps
- Get a head start. If you are sensing something starting that may
require dipping, start retreating just enough to give yourself an edge
if its needed. There is no shame in coming back if you dip
unnecessarily, as everyone else was probably about to also.
- Calculate for speed. If you are the approximate size of a young
beluga whale, you should not be up on the front lines of the
prank/action/etc, as (no offense) you just won't make it all the way.
And if you're going to be the next 100M world champion, why are you
reading this article? You will have no problems.
- Figure out what you're running from, don't just blindly run "away".
- As things get more intense, be ready. When the large shout of anger
or laughter or "Get off my property!" occurs, yell "Dip!" and then dip.
- Know where you're going, get there, and then laugh your head off. Hopefully it was worth it.
Tips
- Scout out the territory if you know that you will be dipping at some point. As it says in number 5, know where to go.
- It is best to dip at night, because of the obvious protection of the dark.
- When you have made some progress, such as turning a corner and hear
no immediate approach, take a breather. You should be able to hear your
pursuers coming. This works especially well at night because it is
feasible to hide in a dark gap in between streetlights, which provides
great cover.
- If you have friends, make sure they dip with you, because if one guy gets caught, then other guys will get caught.
- Look back occasionally, but only if you cannot locate your pursuers
- Go off the beaten path. Take an unexpected or difficult route,
especially if you have superior stamina. Plus getting lost in the
middle of the night is even more fun.
- Or you could park your bikes somewhere and then run to your bikes. (However, there is a chance of your bike being stolen!)
Warnings
- Be careful of tripping or being hit by a car while running.
- If the cops do show up, act calm and innocent, possibly even mildly
confrontational, as if you are offended by the notion you would do
something wrong. Oh yeah, and if they bust you, run like your life
depends on getting away, which in some senses it does, especially if
your parents are rather strict.
- If you leave a friend behind, help them as much as possible, but not if you're going to get caught!
