100 Maybe
So ironically I missed my 100th post because I was in Canada and didn’t want to get roaming charges. Although technically I think I posted a picture on here once so what I said was my 99th post might have actually been 100. Anyway I am now going to a 3+ per week schedule.
Canada was fun. I went to Whistler with my parents. We went skiing (well snowboarding for me) for a couple of days and...

Quote Day
So if my calculations are correct, tomorrow will be my 100th post. After that I reserve the right to cut back on my post making a little bit. But I will still not post less than three posts per week. However, since I will be in Canada tomorrow, I will probably not post some dramatic “100th post” post… but today you get a double quote analysis post!
Our first quote comes courtesy...
Hunger Day
I had a good day today. I would say it was above average, even though my dog woke me up early because he gets lonely easily.
I did some work on an internship application, I think I actually have a shot at getting this one.
I also listened to the new shins album, I enjoyed it a lot. It’s different from their other stuff but I consider it an improvement.
Then I went to the hunger games...

Golf Perspective
I went golfing today. I love golf. But I went with my dad and after 5 holes neither of us were playing very well. However, because of my new perspective we had very different outlooks and, in turn, very different results. My Dad was mad at everything, his swing, the course conditions, the slow group ahead of us. I was subject to all the same difficulties, but I looked at the bright side. My bad...
Tired Time
I am tired. It’s weird, when I am not at college I get tired way earlier than when I am at college.

Random Thoughts
My first random Friday on tumblr. Where I post more random less thought out ideas.
Anytime someone starts with “no offense” whatever follows is about to be offensive.
The word exercise doesn’t have a “z” in it…you learn something new everyday.
I am a big fan of British slang, particularly the word rubbish.
“until the lion learns to speak the tales...

College Experience
Every old person tells you to “enjoy college it will go by fast!” And I am enjoying it. I just have one problem, it is difficult for me to enjoy the moment when college is so focused on the future. The only reason people go to college is for the future. Don’t get me wrong, the college experience is very fun, but if someone told me I was paying thousands of dollars just for this...
Yellow Snow
It snowed today. I love snow. As I grow older I find less and less people enjoy the snow with me. Sucks for them. Snow is awesome. I understand the inconvenience it causes, but I just think that adds to the adventure. So needless to say I was in a good mood when I woke up to 5 inches of snow this morning. I went on a walk—because that is my thing now— and enjoyed the snow.
When I got...

This Day
I stayed up too late watching YouTube videos again…oops, so this will be a basic recap of my day.
I woke up earlier than I had too because I like getting up a little early to feel like I am doing something with my life. I then went to get my tire fixed because it was leaking. They did it for free which I thought was quite nice of them. While I was there I did a little studying for my econ...

Test Walks
My final this morning was part multiple choice and part short answer. I do this thing where I count how many of each letter I answer to see who wins. It has already been pointed out to me that my score will probably not be the correct score since I probably won’t get 100%, that is besides the point. Anyways, today I was counting and D won…D NEVER WINS! I would say C wins most, followed...

Handwriting Analysis
Next week is finals week and I have one tomorrow morning so this post will be shorter.
As I was studying for my final tomorrow I started thinking about my handwriting. I have never been a big fan of my handwriting. I am not really good at keeping it grounded on the line, my letters float. But besides my floating issue, I feel like my handwriting is too generic. So when I was writing my study...

Abraham Lincoln
So this is my first post since switching over to tumblr. Yay for that. I feel like there is more interaction on tumblr plus there are some people who had tumblrs I wanted to follow but not a lot of wordpresses so that is why I switched.
Anyways. As I have previously posted, I am currently reading With Malice Toward None, an Abraham Lincoln biography. And while reading about Lincoln, I am struck...

Political Parties
The Bill Maher show was on tonight and then me and my roommate watched the new Sarah Palin movie. I have never been a fan of the party system. I understand why it is in place, but the idea of voting for someone based simply on what party they come from is ridiculous to me. I think it breeds a kind of mob mentality, and ruins critical thinking about something that really needs to be critically...

Universe Connectivity
So I was watching Luis CK’s show a couple of weeks ago and it was oddly depressing. It was about one of Luis’s old comedian friends who was not doing very well and was going to kill himself. Luis couldn’t think of a way to talk him out of it, so as far as we know, he killed himself. It got me thinking, what would I tell someone if they said they were going to commit suicide?...

Longterm Walking
Yesterday in marketing class my teacher asked us to write down what we want to be doing in 5 years career wise. I hate this question. As I have said before, I am more of a take things one step at a time type of guy, so thinking ahead is not my strong suit. But I think it is a good exercise for me to help me learn to think ahead a bit. I didn’t really use that opportunity because he only gave...

History Kony
As I have said before I often make up future conversations with people in my head. Today I had a conversation with my future child. They asked why we study history. This is a question I have asked a lot myself. The generic answer teachers give is if you don’t study history you are doomed to repeat it. The problem with that is we do study history and we still repeat it. I think history is...

Compliment Videos
So today I was walking back from class, and I saw this pretty cute girl wearing an awesome hat. For a second I thought I should say “I like your hat” (groundbreaking, I know) then I decided against it. Then I was kinda kicking myself as I walked away. Not that I wanted to hit on her or anything, but I legitimately liked the hat. What would be the worst that could happen in that...
Last Second
I almost forgot to write this tonight and I have to wake up early tomorrow to head back to school. I promise that this week I will be better at writing actual posts. And after I get to 100 I am definitely going to cut back a little on writing everyday. ML3
Didn't Work
Yeah the whole going to bed early thing didn’t workout. It’s late and daylight savings time is robbing me of sleep ML3
Presentation Zen
It was a long day. I woke up early to give my presentation, which started out well but half way through I got nervous and started to talk too fast. Hopefully as I give more presentations I will get better at this. I have more to say about my presentation but I am tired. Maybe I will write about it tomorrow. Or maybe not. Then I drove to my parents house from school because my dad’s birthday...
Early Presentation
I have a presentation early tomorrow. So I am going to bed early. I am heading home tomorrow. A good end to a crazy busy week. “Hakuna matada, it means no worries for the rest of your days”-Timone and Pumba! ML3

Business Major
For my management class we needed to interview a leader about leadership. I chose to interview my Dad because he is awesome. One of the questions we had to ask was “what advice to have for me to help me develop my leadership skills?” He said that I should stretch out of my comfort zone. This is good because that is what I have been trying to do lately. So far I have started with trying...

Star Pictures
So I just finished writing a report for my management class so I don’t feel like writing a whole lot more. I think after my 100th post I will move to a three per week schedule. So I follow this girl name Gabrielle Aplin on Twitter. She is a singer from the UK. She posted a picture a while ago of the first star she saw in the sky. The picture gave me a weird happy feeling. It made me feel how...
Sleep Bathrooms
As I was falling a sleep last night I started thinking about how much time sleep takes up. It is obvious I know, but I am surprised that there have been very few sleep innovations ever. Besides mattresses and sleeping pills, sleeping is the exact same as it has always been. I feel like in the future there will be some invention to make it so people have to sleep less. That would increase human...

Nervous Bathrooms
I have a big week coming up so this is going to be shorter so I can get some sleep. Part of the reason I have a big week is because of a presentation I have to give on friday. Until high school I was never nervous during presentations. I was even named best presenter in my 5th grade class. But then during my senior year I had to give a presentation and I was really nervous and talked very fast....

Time Travel
I have a large personal space bubble. I like my space and feel a little uncomfortable when other people are in it. I wonder if this makes people feel weird, when they get a little close to me and I move away. I think I should try and shrink my personal bubble a bit. Not a lot. But a litttle. What if dinosaurs came in my bubble? Okay that was a bad attempt at a segway. But I was thinking about what...

Random Graffiti
It’s random friday! I forgot about random friday last week but it’s back this week. Here are a few random things I have been thinking about in the last week. -I really enjoy bathroom graffiti. It gives you something to read while going to the bathroom and a lot of it is stupid, interesting, or stupidly interesting. -I am a big fan of finger pistols in a sarcastic way. I judge anybody...

Almost Happy
I messed up a little today. I told myself I was going to say yes more in social situations and today I had an opportunity and said no. It was a tough situation though because I could have gone and partied with a group of friends, but I didn’t want to just leave my roommate who I was hanging out with. So I will give myself a little pass, but I still need to work on saying yes more. I woke up...

Leap Day
I wasn’t in a very good mood for most of today. I know I have been talking about working on my new life perspective and all that, but today it didn’t work very well. I was thinking about my scary uncertain future and that doesn’t make me happy. And I had a test today that was kinda tough and I registered for next terms classes and I couldn’t get the classes I want in the...
