Live as it were your last

It is hard to picture myself at ninety. I don't even know if I want to live until then. I am one of those people who does things spontaneously regardless of whether I will be happy with it one year, ten years, or 30 years from now. I know people probably think this is careless but it is me. If I had to live to be ninety years old, I would hope that my free-spirited personality stays with me the whole way. I was watching Rob and Big a couple months ago (I know you are wondering what this has to do with it but i have a point) and they went to a nursing home to give back to the community. They were all talking and there was this lady wearing this ridiculous sparkley hat and colorful outfit and over everyone talking she was screaming the song "Glory, Glory Hallelujah" at the top of her lungs. My friend looked at me and said, "I now know what you are going to be like when you get old." I laughed because it was one of the funniest things i have ever seen but the more i think about it, its probably true. I know I did not follow Pink's exercise directly because I don't really want to think about my regrets that i might make in the next 60 years, and as far as Viktor Frankl's quote I think it is ridiculous. If you are content in what you are doing when you are doing it you aren't living wrong, you might be living differently in the eyes of someone else but not wrong.

Sex Offenders

My parents are divorced and growing up they live in the same county and same city, they were about 10 minutes about. however, they do live in different zip codes. I decided to go on and look at the sex offenders in Cobb County, Marietta, Georgia (where I grew up). After going on I noticed a significant more amount of sex offenders in my dad's zip code than my mom's. I would like to be able to say I am surprised, but I am not. My dad's are even though only ten minutes from my mom's house is not nearly as nice. The houses surrounding my mom's house are on average about 200,000 dollars more expensive than in my dad's area. I know this is judgmental to say that sex offenders live in not as wealthy areas, but it is a stereotype that seems to be true in this case. In conclusion, I am glad to know that I do not know any one on the sex offender list for my area.

Random Facts

In search of something to blog about I typed in "random things" into google it then brought up at the top of the page random facts so I clicked on it and hit the first website. It was this website http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~bingbin. The website is full of fun, interesting facts that are completely random. I went through and some of them I knew like that Mohammad is the most common name in the world, but most of them were new to me.
The funniest one i think is: Kansas state law requires pedestrians crossing the highways at night to wear tail lights.

The most random: On average, there are 178 sesame seeds on each McDonalds BigMac bun.

Y'all should check it out there is some cool stuff!

PREAKNESS

So yesterday I went to Preakness. It has nothing to do with our class but it was so unreal I feel I have to blog about it. First off, bagged wine for an all day drinking event is a bad idea, point blank. Secondly, white/off white dress at a horse race with infield seats, once again bad idea. These two are just the beginning of bad ideas that took place during the day. I am now sunburnt from my lack of sunscreen, I almost missed the bus i took 15 dollars to take, I payed three men 10 dollars to pee in their driveway, I bought 3 Preakness t-shirts, I got home and almost flooded my house because i left the shower running for 6 hours straight and passed out with muddy feet in my bed which ruined my white sheets. Pimlico is supposed to be this prestigious horse race, and a bunch of kids pay 45 dollars to sit in a field and get obliterated. The whole concept just doesn't make sense to me. I didn't even see a horse. Lets just say I will probably not be going back to Preakness any time soon.

Calling All Addicts.

Since I procrastinated the last couple of months and i haven't had a computer I've had the pleasure of sitting in the library for the last 4 hours blogging. I have realized just how addicting facebook really is. I was simply trying to log on to get to the group page for this class and before I even realized it I was looking through some random girl's pictures. I have not seen this girl in months nor do I care what she is up to but i thought she got a new haircut and I wanted to check it out. I then left that girl's page to one of the friends we had in common and I got so caught up in it that 20 minutes had gone by and I had yet to reach the group page. I have never been diagnosed with ADD, but I feel like when I have access to facebook I suddenly develop this learning disability. I am thinking about checking myself into facebook therapy if they even have that. I didn't go on for about a week and I was sitting on my friends computer and a message from my friend John popped up and I was like "what the hell is this?" My friend was like its facebook messenger like I should have known what it was but I was so blown away. Like the messenge sender and the 3 bajillion other applications they already have isn't enough they have to add this as well. Facebook is getting a little out of control. BUT I LIKE IT!

Cato-@-Liberty

I explored the blog Cato@Liberty, and I found out some interesting things. The people who blog on Cato are experts in their fields. They come from different backgrounds and all write on different political topics. The blog seems to be more liberal than conservative. Ironically, a blogger Justin Logan, blogged about an interview between presidential candidate McCain and author of one of our books Matt Bai. This blog and interview i found intriguing. I do not support McCain and the way he feels on most issues especially the one of war. I love the quote at the end, "while most politicians looked at injustice in a foreign land and asked, 'Why intervene?' McCain seemed to look at that same injustice and ask himself, 'Why not?'" The blog is somewhat sarcastic which makes the issues talked about humorous and entertaining. When blogging about something that has potential for absolute boredom adding humor makes the information less dry and easier to read.

Ex- Phi Sig

I would like to start this blog off by saying, I am not trying to bash my old sorority, any sorority or Greek life in any way.

I was once a member of Phi Sigma Sigma. I am choosing to write about this over other communities I am a part of because it has played the most significant role in my life to date. I joined the sorority my freshman year in college when my wants and needs were much different than they are now. I was coming from a different state and finding friends was on the top of my priority list. one of Phi Sig's core values is inclusiveness though i never really felt included much of the time i was in. I felt more pressured to go to events than actually wanting to go to them because of this. They encourage good grades, studying, and campus involvement, but they struggle when it comes to letting lose and having fun. It is supposed to be a sisterhood but it is more like a business. I was sent to judicial board almost every Sunday and was kicked out of meeting once. most of the time the things I was brought to Jboard about were petty. I continuously heard about people talking about me and the things i was doing but they were overly nice to my face. I talk to more sisters now than I was in Phi Sigma Sigma. The sorority taught me a lot of things which i am grateful for, but after 3 years of BS I finally took the step to get out.
