(heartfelt voice) that if i could just touch one persons life then i know that... im pathetic

We hear this phrase very often "if i can just touch one person then i know that what i have done is worth it." This is pathetic people. I guess its ok if you are saying that to a very specific task like feeding some poor people at a soup supper one time. But if you volunteer at this soup supper regularly you should have touched a couple more people than one. Anyone can touch or help one person actually i bet every one does. Like the hobos, beggars if you will, that just drink away all that they get anyway. Even they most likely average one affected person a-day. Their is always that person that thinks hmm... i really don't want to turn out like that.

I'm ranting about this because a school teacher was talking to someone on the radio and she said that if she could just help one kid find a better life for themselves or inspire one kid then it all was worth it. Come on... jeez... I don't know how many kids you teach, this is a rough estimate of my school, if the teacher works for only 20 years and she teaches 30 kids a year she will have taught 600 students. If she only inspires one of those students that's a terrible percentage. That's like a cop that lets 599 people die and saves one but its ok because he believes that he saves one person then his whole life was worth it. I give you credit for going out to inspire but you can do better than one kid. Everyone doesn't want to die thinking they didn't make a difference if you set out every day saying It is worth my living if i can inspire one person to change how they live their lives TODAY.

that my family is weird. At least their vocab. is

opening story: When i was a real youngin' maybe 5 just full of every kind of knowledge... I needed something to go with my hot dog... we had apples oranges grapes bannanas... I knew exactly what i needed... if the fancy people could have it at their fancy little parties i would have one to... i made myself a fancy fruit delay... i thought thats what it was called in reality it was just a plater full of sliced up fruit and now that im older i know that that isnt what its proper name is and i dont even think that fancy people ate them at their fancy fancy people get togethers... but that day i walked into my living room with that fruit delay and i acted like a fancy waiter showing off my fruit dish. Even today a fruit plater in our house (regardless of its real name that i dont even know) is still called a fruit delay.



We have tons of words with stories like that... the brother that is older than me went to school calling hamburgers hankaburgers just because jeb my younger brother called them hankaburgers and my family instead of dampining his self esteem adopted his wording for a while and my family also called them hankaburgers. I bet that was embarressing... but when you get used to saying it. it just slips out.



There are many different names for the tv remote. My family has one of the weirdest names for it. We call it the channel flipper. Idk why we call it that thats what my father has always said and we cant fight it now its deeply implanted in our minds.



I would like to know what kind of strange names or phrases your family has (especially for the channel flipper) just post a comment or send me an email. I want to know if my family really is that weird does any one no what a fruit delays real name is.

that mommys and daddys should let their kids to cuss if they want them to be happy

In the Omaha world herald (newspaper out of Nebraska not a big deal) in this paper fronts page was an article about an experiment done by a group of British scientists. In this experiment subjects of both sexes put their hands into unpleasantly warm water. When the pain became high enough they were told to scream out such profane word that would make mother Teresa roll over in her grave. During the next torture session they were told to scream out none offensive cuss words such as cheese and rice or muther fugger. After the two rounds the scientists found that the inappropriate rants were slightly more affective than the saint swearing.


This makes me wonder why, how does that make them feel better. I hope i can explain this... maybe we all have a weapon arsenal... an f bomb is like a nuke we only use it when absolutely necessary but it will give us immediate victory (comfort). Made up none sense is like what we keep trying to do to Afghanistan... send in troops that slow down the advancement but dont fix the problem... or at least it takes awhile. We cant just nuke everything however or we get a mouth full of soap. So there is my theory give me yours post a comment.

that batman could beat the transformers back to what ever stupid planet they came from

I have heard from a somewhat biased source that transformers 2 may soon over take the dark knight in the box office sales. If you're like me you are freaking out right now. Don't worry it turns out it is actually not true which is good because when asked I will pick dark knight as one of the best movies ever.

After looking it up i fear no more $9,630.6 is the dark knights gross whilst transformers still sets at a meesily $5,756.3

What started out as a simple dont waste your money on that stupid movie blog as quickly turned into a blog on dark knights superiority. dark knight has been beat by one movie in total tickets sold every year since 1996... dam thats how long its been since the NL has beat the AL in the All star game... thats rediculous and a terrible crime it would seem to me. However i have figured it all out first of all the recession hit... The dark knight didnt do much advertising a big mistake... (transformers did alot of advertising... the most ever... and though the movie got bad reviews compared to other movies of these last 365 days it still has the number two spot on that chart. Right after the dark knight)... lastly the dark knight isn't a family movie not really ok for the children because of that their sales suffered the same happened to alot of the great movies)

that goobledegook is just fine

sorry stevyn of The Unbearable Oddness of Stevyn whom just wrote a blog intitled Ready Shreddy Go but i disagree goobledegook in moderation is just fine. This blog was about simple english compared to the more complecated goobledegook english as he called it. I think the language type he is most conserned with is the legal papers talk or the instruction manual lingo. In that regard i agree things could be a lil less complicated. But in moderation i believe goobledegook is english. English doesnt have to be dumbed down. People are smart enough they dont need easy reading. I would like to think that people who actual like reading would much more enjoy a challenging read with complicated tough wording more that a spoon feed the meaning of the sentence type of wording.

I consider Complex writing to be art. It makes it more poetic. Ergo it is poetic art that through its complexity it can spark true thinking and cause people to have to think in new ways. That complexity of wording creates flexibility for the reader. Some will be pulled deeply into the story. Feeling the stress of the story or gain a feeling that they can smell the smell that the poet so eliquently describes. In that complicated wording there is so much detail that can truly bring the story out. In that complete detail some things may be over looked. Through this i believe that we see what stimulates each individual readers attention. This is a small peak into their intrests and personality. Those that miss one thing maybe cant imagin that detail like others can. This is the 2nd way it challenges us. It makes you not only become a better reader it helps you mentally imagine things better.

Writers need to fight against any rebel group that brings forth an uprising against the freeness in which we write. No one understands that freedom like the writers. I mean people no one tells the painters not to paint what they feel, or to make it more normal so its easier to be understood by the people who happen to be admiring it.

Readers if you dont want to think about what your reading... dont read that... find something you can be interested in, understand maybe you can work your way up. Please dont try to make it easier on yourself. Watch a movie same thing less imagination and brain function. But readers your not dumb you can read the good stuff that is the goobledegook.

(probably not what you were rebelling against stevyn but i just dont want the beautiful english that shows the greatness that can come out of literacy to be dumbed down)

(i hate instruction manuals and legal forms the same as the next man however, they do it simply for the detail i talked about earlier however if they could simplify it without loosing that important detail i am all for it)

that will power is the best super power in the world

I have ran alot this week more than i have in a long time. As with any long distance runner i know what true will power is and what it can do. through this i have gained a certain respect for those with alot of will power.

A certain some one really showed some will power today. It occured at weights on this day of july 9. she had just gone through what must have been a gruling basketball camp. During which she hurt her shoulder (or arm). She told me about this and judging by how she held her arm and showed extra care towards it i knew she was telling the truth. i thought she would just sit out and get an easy show up X. we happened to be lined up right next to each other whilst warming up, and when it came time for pushups i thought surely the sitting out would begin. But instead she struggled and i meaned struggled she pulled of 7 out of 10 not bad at all and they were still quality push ups... good job and my respect goes out to you today hurt arm girl. (i continued to watch sorta and she did most of her lifts for the day even a couple arm lifts)

i think i will use some will power and start blogging really often with this blog maybe i can do one a day but itll be tough

that "it has begun"

i have started this new blog its still under some construction but "it has begun"... i planned to have started it on july 4th because, that is the day my country the US of A started and i wanted my blog to begin on the same day. I thought this would be pretty cool... however it was not to be...



My old blog wasnt as good as i hope this one will be but if you would like to read my past blog i will keep it online a lil bit longer it is www.bigcents01randomtopics.blogspot.com
