The Human Body

The Magic School Bus has screwed up my perception of the human body. Ever since watching the episode when the kids get to travel through the mouth, down the throat, past the stomach and into the intestines, the way I view the human body has been skewed. I feel like everything just travels so fast when in reality it is pretty slow. For example, when you drink a glass of water and then instantly you have to pee. It doesn't work that fast yet we believe that to be the case.

Now I know what you may be thinking, "but Esther at the end of the episode they told you it didn't work that fast." Well to that I say, "Really, who actually pays attention to the kids that call in?"

If you have never seen the video before click above on "The human body" to see what I mean!

The What The Heck Moments In Life...

The store you are about to read is real. The names of the people involved are not mentioned to hide the girls from embracement.

Tonight I was walking back to English from the DC after dinner when I noticed a short ways ahead of me two girls laughing and throwing snowballs at each other. It got slightly carried away when one girl pushed the other girl into a large snow pile. When the girl fell into the snow the other ran away while both still remained laughing. The girl in the snow quickly got up and chased after her "pusher" and thats when it happened. To stop the girl from running to far away the girl covered in snow pulled out her phone and chucked it. It ended up hitting the other girl square in the back of the head. they both fall to the ground cracking up. After a brief moment the sigh and then the girl how got hit says, "wait was that your phone?"

A cellphone, really? Is that all that she could thing to throw?

The Perks of Being a Wallflower

This is a good way to sum up today:

"So this is my life. And I want you to know that I am both happy and sad and I'm still trying to figure out how that could be."

Pull Them Up

What is the appeal with songs about pants? People love pant songs! I just don't get it. Pants are pants. What makes them so funny? Disney Channel even jumped on the pants fad with this video:

Up until the other day this was my very narrow minded ideas about pants and songs about them. That was until this man:

I don't know why but I find him awesome! It could be that he is old and doing the splits or maybe that he speaks the truth.
We need to pull are pants up!

Sometimes I wish I was as cool as MacGyver

Who wouldn't want to be as cool as MacGyver? Let's face it he is awesome. He is a laid back secret agent who refuses to use a gun. No problem is to big that it can't be solved using only his Swiss Army Knife and a role of Duct tape. He is a non violent, glass half full kind of a guy and I didn't realize just how great he was until this past Christmas break. For Christmas my brother got the last season of his show and up until then I didn't realize that is slightly possible that he might be cooler then Jason Born and Jack Bauer. I mean this guy is way more creative and has all the hook-ups. He even knows a family of Bounty Hunters. Oh, and who could forget that hair! Macgyver has one of the best mullets around, you can't help but love it. Wither it is defusing a bomb with a toothbrush or eating some ice cream MacGyver is slowly moving his way up to my favorite TV heros.
