Things I Don't Understand (Volume Nine)

Out of everything out there, there is one thing that stands out among the rest as the most confusing topic in the history of man: life.
What's the deal with life? I'm starting to get the feeling that life is bipolar. Imagine standing there with an ice cream cone, ready to dive into it with excitement. Life walks up and smacks the ice cream cone out of your hand. Your surprise is mixed with sadness and you're left standing there crying like an idiot. Life sees this and hands you a puppy and leaves. Once again, you are surprised, but at least you aren't nearly as depressed anymore.
Example? Fine.
This whole school year I have spent preparing myself for the Japan trip of 2011. A few weeks ago, an earthquake hit the island and tsunamis raged afterward. Here I am thinking, "Seriously? Dang it." A week or two later, announcements start sounding over the intercom at school announcing a trip to Europe. A really odd coincidence? Or is it life trying to make up for being such a jerk? You decide.

Things I Don't Understand (Volume Eight)

Have you ever wanted to go a whole day as a ghost? I'm not talking about legitimately dying; that would actually be pretty bad. No, what I mean is, would you like to go a whole day without having to be involved at all? If you were a ghost, you'd just be able to sit back and watch everything as it happened. No one would be able to talk to you, see you, hear you, or anything of the sort, but you'd be there. Imagine a day where you just sit back and watch everything. I'm positive that you would notice more that you would normally miss. It just sounds completely awesome! The next day, you'd probably come back with a completely different view of the world. Maybe Charles Dickens had the same thoughts when he wrote A Christmas Carol.
The only reason that I'm blogging about this is simple; how the heck did I even think about it in the first place?

Things I Don't Understand (Volume Seven)

I tried logging on to my blog this morning and quickly figured out that it was blocked for "Pornography/Adult Content." Now, let me take some time to say, "What?!"
Apparently, I've gone the past few months writing blogs about crazy sex scandals and pornographic stories without even knowing it. When I finally logged on to my blog, the only thing that was still proxied was the "Followers" box. This pushes my suspicions over to you all. What the heck are you guys doing?! Are you all watching porn and reading my blog at the same time, or what? Honestly, I'm a bit freaked out that my blog counts as "adult content."
You all make me sick, you pervs.

Things I Don't Understand (Volume Six)

"Okay, we're releasing the students for a fire drill now. Head out into the halls and out the doors."
BAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!
Sound familiar? It should. Every time we have a fire drill, tornado drill, or anything of the sort, announcements are made signaling the drill, yet for some reason, the alarm is still set off. This provides us with no extra help whatsoever. It only manages the students bleed from the ears. What's worse, the blood makes the floors slippery and it's only harder to proceed with our drill. Why must they announce the drill and sound the alarm at the same time? It's completely unnecessary. If you announce, you don't need the alarm. And if you sound the alarm, you don't need to announce that there's a drill.
Trust me, if we hear a loud alarm, you don't need to tell us to leave. We're already heading for the door.
Stop announcing and sounding an alarm at the same time. Just stop it.

Things I Don't Understand (Volume Five)

The world is fraught with roughly six billion people, no one person being the same as another. Yet for some reason, after thousands of years of living with each other, we have found a way maintain our hatred for each other. Wars, segregation, and all that jazz are floating around today, and I just don't see how we can live with hating each other. I guess maybe I'm just one of those guys that imagines a world filled with peace and love or something sentimental like that.
This coming weekend, Westboro Baptist Church is visiting Owensboro Christian Church in order to protest a variety of topics such as homosexuality, Muslimism, and the sins of man. This whole event has enraged many people around me, not saying that I'm not fired up by the thought, and it really shoves the word HATE front and center in my mind.
