:D

Ladies and Gentlemen, I have finished my research paper.. and I needed a good chuckle. This is so me it's not even funny. (If you know me you will laugh). :) Have a nice night friends.

I am an ADD kid

KENDALL FOCUS!!..that is all I keep telling myself. School would be so much easier if I could get focused..but I don't want to have to take some medication to be able to sit and actually do my work. Today I cleaned the whole apartment, like I'm talking dusted, vaccumed, wiped down every surface.. you name it. Then, I painted a mirror, then I bought some new crosses and things and hung them, and now I am blogging about it all in the attempt to not type my paper. I am productive in every area except the one that matters most in the current moment. Okay, off to try to make some progress. Lord, please help me focus.

cabin fever at work

I am supposed to be writing a paper right now for one of my social work classes, but I just can't get into it. It's even an interesting topic. I think I need to go running or jogging or something. I am about to go crazy sitting in front of this screen, but I'm at work and I cannot vacate the premises for another 30 minutes. So, here I am, telling you about it so you can finish reading this and feel like you have not gained any wisdom or knowledge or fun quotes. Yep, it's been decided. I will go for a run when I get off. Gosh it is going to feel awesome, why? Because it feel AWESOME outside. This is officially my favorite time of year. Summer is a close second, but my air conditioning went out this summer in my car and didn't get fixed till about 4 weeks ago, so summer lost it's number one position after a near death experience of extreme temperatures in my car. No, I didn't really almost die, but it was not a pleasant experience to say the least. You are getting to see my sarcastic side. I don't usually write as sarcastically as I speak, which is kind of strange I guess. You probably thought I was a whole lot nicer than I really am and.... I am nice... Just not one of those always perky perfectly nice people. I have a personality and from time to time (like every day) I can get brutally honest, like right now. Why can't I write this quickly when I write my papers? It's like the word school gives me an automatic writers block. Ugh. I think the real problem is that I had an unusually large about of Mountain Dew earlier and I'm over caffeinated and bored out of my mind. The two are not a good mix. Okay.. thats it, I'm packing it up and going to stand by the door, at precisely 6:00 P.M. I am peacing out of this joint. I feel like an over excited 5 year old, I seriously need to run this off.

Anyone else have thoughts?

I was walking to class today and I took my adderall, which I only take when I have to study, write a paper or take a test. Yes, I am prescribed. I should take it regularly but I don't, I don't like to be dependant on things or people for that matter. Anyway, I was thinking unusually hard (cause that's what adderall makes you do) and I started to think about how crazy it is that we can hop on Facebook and "stalk" someone we never have or ever will meet in the flesh and know all kinds of things about them. I am guilty myself. For example, I clearly love reading blogs so when I find someone on Facebook that has one, I automatically click it. This person maybe an acquaintance or even a stranger, but suddenly I can have a peak at the way this person thinks, they way they feel about life, what they are passionate about. It's usually all there. It blows my mind. I actually follow this girl's blog who lives in Oklahoma and I literally know everything about her life as if I had read a book about her. As if we were friends. I feel like I know her, but I don't. That is the point I am trying to make. She isn't a real friend.

Is this really how we want to function as a society? Do I want to know that my bestfriend from high school got engaged because it popped up on my mini feed? Would I be better friends with her, more willing to call her, or make time for her if I didn't keep up with her via Facebook, Twitter, Blogspot..? If all those things were gone, I would have to call her if I wanted to know how she was, I would have to see her in person to see her new hair cut and the 20 pounds she lost. It makes me wonder if all this "stuff" is doing us any good? I'm not an idiot, I do realize that it makes everything more convenient but have we let that become our crutch to getting in touch with people? I actually have family members that write on my wall on my birthday instead of calling. Call it "new age", but I call it crap. We have created our own little worlds and because we network it looks like we are way more engaged in life than we actually are. Engaged in life is not sitting in front of a computer, tv, ipad, laptop, itouch, iphone, blackberry, and all the other crazy gadgets that distract us from the life we think we are living.

Yes, I love blogging. Yes, I love Facebook, but I can't help but wonder if our generation is in a huge sink hole and we just don't realize it. We're sucked in with every new innovation and suddenly life without those things doesn't seem great or beautiful anymore. In fact, if you don't have those things you are actually considered unfortunate. What a lie, what a horrible lie.

beautiful words

:)

haha.. I don't really care if you laughed cause it made me smile :)

"I still have many things to say to you, but you cannot bear them right now, but when He, the Spirit of truth, has come, He will guide you into all truth, for He will not speak on His own authority, but whatever He hears He will speak; and He will tell you things that are to come."
