I am going to start a new segment on my blog! I'll pick a random subject, and write about five interesting facts about that subject and comment on them. So I decided I would start on me, and why not? I tried to think of facts that people didn't already know, so here goes:
#1. I am really good at Guitar Hero.
Yes, this isn't really a fact. But it is pretty true! I have an Xbox and used to play a lot of Guitar Hero a lot(every day) and I must say, I got pretty good at it. Not like, professional good, but pretty darn good! I can play the songs on Expert and get at least 90% on them, so that's solid. Most people say that people that can play guitar suck at Guitar Hero and vice versa. That is because guitar and Guitar Hero are really different and playing guitar is much harder. So I guess that means I'll probably be really bad at guitar, but that's okay; I don't plan on learning anytime soon. In the meanwhile, I can just keep impressing people with my amazing Guitar Hero skills!
#2. I am quite afraid of heights.
Quite afraid as in very afraid. I'm scared of heights because I'm scared of falling. Which would mean I'm not scared of heights, but of falling, but I still get a little sweaty looking down from a high apartment. :S I mean, everything is so small, and you're so high up! I don't know how a person couldn't be scared. One little slip, and SPLAT! Buh bye! I am a risk taker though! I often take the top bunk on a bunk bed, so there! Better than nothing.
#3. I am kind of organized.
I probably don't seem like a very organized person, but sometimes when I go into stores, I'll just start putting things back in the right place, because it bugs me to see things out of order. That is called obsessive-compulsive disorder, I think. Maaaaybe just a little bit. It just gives me a very satisfying feeling when I see that things are in the right place. Exception: my room. It's actually pretty messy, I just kind of keep my Carver clothes all over the floor. ;)
#4. My favorite colours are red and green.
This is probably the least interesting. I like red and green, but not together. That just reminds me of Christmas. Not that I don't like Christmas, I just don't think red and green go that well together. Red is like a really outgoing guy who likes sports and partying, while Green is a very shy girl who prefers to stay at home and do crossword puzzles. You know what I mean? People say opposites attract, but I don't really believe that. Red is a really bold color, which is why I like it. But green is more calm and relaxed, and I like that too!
#5. I have very flat feet.
Yeah, my feet are pretty flat. Most people have a big arch in the middle of their foot, but mine are mostly flat, with a little bit of a curve. I have to wear these things in my shoes to fix them. I hope it's a genetic advantage for running faster or something. One bad thing about it is that a lot of shoes don't fit as well because my feet are also wider. So I think I have to get fat people shoes or something. Ah, whatever, I'll just have to live with it. Forever. And ever.
Anyway, these are just five kind of random facts about me. I hope you liked it, and thanks for reading! ;D

Past, Present, or Future?
Are we in the past, the present, or the future? I know it seems like a dumb question. "We're in the present, idiot." But is it really that simple? I hope this will make you think. :)
People in the 1950's probably didn't think they were in the past. Technology was great back then! "Oh dang, look at us! We got super glue!" But where are they now? 60 years later, they are part of our history and our past. Is that what we are, and will be someday? Maybe a hundred years later, people will look at our flat screen TVs and think, "Pft. Flat screen TVS. I could find tons of those in the high-tech super dumpster. Look at the gizmos we have now!" So we could just be another part of the past, another piece to the puzzle that is human history.
Maybe you're right, and we are the present. A lot of people say we should just live in the moment, and don't worry about the future, because only what we have now is guaranteed. Even the Bible tells us not to worry too much. Live life to the fullest and don't hurry to get the next thing done. Take life day by day. Where we are, and what we're doing, is the now. Time is a line, and we are in the middle of that line. There is no past or future. This is what it is.
Could we be the future? Maybe all those crazy predictions and the 2012 movie were right, and there will be a colossal disaster worldwide, killing millions of people and therefore securing our fate. That would make us the future, the end of that line. And if we survived, what if we had to start over again? All the technology we have now lost, and going back to the theoretical GO on the Monopoly board of life. Suretainly, we would be the future. What we do now, and however far we get, will influence where humans are and how we develop thousands of years later.
This is confusing stuff, for sure. But what are we really: past, present, or future? It's up to you. But whatever we are, ENJOY IT! Be thankful for what you have, because a lot of people barely have anything and can still live a fulfilling, happy life. This is a time to remember your blessings with the people you love, not to think about everything you want and don't have. Our problems aren't as big as we think. With God's help, we can overcome it.
Happy thanksgiving, peoples! Enjoy responsibly. ;D

The Slang Experiment!
"Hey, can I borrow a pencil?"
"Suretainly! Heh heh."
BAM! There it is! My newly invented word, "suretainly". As you can clearly tell, it is a mix of the words "sure" and "certainly". This is my dictionary definition for it:
sure - tain - ly (shur-tin-lee):
-adverb
1. with confidence and enthusiasm; without a doubt
Tom suretainly writes well.
So now this is my word. And as part of the experiment, I am going to try and say this word a lot, and hopefully people will say it too! Then, it will become a very popular word and eventually, when I hear a stranger say it, my experiment will have worked! I think a lot of popular words these days spread like this. I mean, someone, somewhere had to have come up with the word "pwned". And eventually, it came around to me and everyone else who knows it. That is what I am trying to do with "suretainly". So if you have a chance in the right situation, please feel free to use my word. But don't claim it, 'cause that's not cool. Anyway, I will get ready to enjoy my long weekend now. Have a great day! ;D
