The Birthday Song: Bane of My Existance.....(take me now LORD)




I love Birthdays! I really enjoy the company of good friends and family members. The hugs, the games, the laughter the cake, its all wonderful.

But, there is one thing I hate with every ounce of human lothing about birthdays: The Birthday Song.

This is where I go absolutely insane. When I hear the words of the most annoying song in the world, I might as well be put in a straight Jacket:



Now, you're probably wondering, "Why on earth does this seemingly, charming young lady hate the Birthday song so much?"

I shall answer this question to the best of my ability:

********************************************************************************

First, I hate it because it is mentally paralyzing.

Second, its repetative.

Third, its embarassing.

Fourth, There is nothing you can do while its being sung to you except run like a fugitive, then you look like a mental patient (which is probably how you feel)

Fifth, people are staring at you.

Sixth, You want to crawl away and hide somewhere.

Seventh, Its socially awkward, for a socially awkward person.

Eigth, people are taking pictures of this awkward moment.

The List goes on and on and on.....

And that is why I have the DREADED birthday song.

Day Thinking....its a hobby/curse/blessing

After Rain Flower Water


"From the eyes of one who hast been embraced by the wind, kissed by the rain, and loved by the sun, nothing said by mankind can abuse her. For she has been where angels fear to tread, and brave men tremble, and lions cower like lambs." -Praise Sharp (written at the age of 12)

Its amazing what you can find in old journals, simply amazing. I was and still am the thinker, day dreamer and crazy person I was at 12. Which brings me to the real reason I posted this. DayDreaming or what I sometimes call, Day Thinking

Daydreaming/Day thinking: Sheer happiness and bliss that only exists in the mind. Lately I have caught myself daydreaming/Thinking in class. Allow me to walk you through this process:

First I'm sitting in class and something random catches my eye:


It can be anything, the carpet, the spot on some one's shirt, a pencil laying on the floor, anything normal, abnormal, or absurd.

Second, The DayThinking begins and I am a thousand miles away x5.



Third, The Day thinking  itself is composed of nonsense, complex calculations, color, shapes, things that could happen, things that have happened, thing I wish would happen, and Comedy so infinitely hilarious that I might actually snicker out loud. It may or may not look something like this:




Somehow during this day dream I am still able to: take notes, answer any question I am asked, and pay attention in class....that is until some one asks me it I'm daydreaming.

Yes I love day Thinking. Its wonderful and handy when, I'm in any situation.

The Fairy Tale of Evoultion

    

I have been wanting to write this blog for quite some time now. I do believe in Creation. What makes humans think that they came from some giant accident created out of nothing that came out of nowhere? I believe this idea comes from the presupposition of a society that thinks they are worthless.

What I'm saying is, belief in Evolution is the highest form of self loathing that a human has.  Evolution + no hope = Low self esteem Society.

Evolution is a Fairytale.
What is a fairy tale? Well, the proper definition:
  1. A fictitious, highly fanciful story or explanation.
  2. An unlikely explanation: an improbable invented account of something, often a false excuse.
This is exactly what evolution is: nothing but a false idea, with a false excuse, with little or no cognitive explanation.

Things that are real explain themselves in solid facts, things that are fake have no solid facts.

Evolution is fake. Evolution is as close to Science as a rock is to personality.

Why? Because Science is the observation, identification, description, experimental investigation, and theoretical explanation of natural phenomena.

Evolutionist theories don't stand a chance against science.


Allow me to prove it:

Proof #1: Thermodynamics.

The laws of thermodynamics describe some of the fundamental truths of thermodynamics observed in our Universe. They are scientifically solid and can be observed, unlike evolution which has never been observed.

The first law of thermodynamics is often called the Law of Conservation of Energy. This law suggests that energy can be transferred from one system to another in many forms. Also, it can not be created or destroyed. Thus, the total amount of energy available in the Universe is constant. Einstein's famous equation (written below) describes the relationship between energy and matter:E = mc2
In the equation above, energy (E) is equal to matter (m) times the square of a constant (c). Einstein suggested that energy and matter are interchangeable. His equation also suggests that the quantity of energy and matter in the Universe is fixed.
Evolutionists claim that something: earth and some kind of single celled life form, came from nothing: zero amount. Absolutely nothing, which is scientifically impossible.

In order for something to be created, there must be some form of energy coming from some location. And that energy must have come from another location, etc. Its a repetitive cycle.

Proof #2: Biological Design

Biological Design. Nature is rich everywhere with biological designs which defy evolutionary explanation. Secular scientists, when pressed, have to admit that they cannot offer testable or even plausible explanations for the origin of bio designs. For just one example, consider the little intestinal microbe, Escherichia coli. Each tiny single-celled microbe propels itself around with six corkscrew propellers which are connected by universal joints to six constant torque, variable speed, reversible rotary motors!

Evolutionary scientists have not the slightest idea how this complex assembly of complex, interdependent parts could have evolved. Yet, they believe it happened. They have faith in dumb atoms. Pitiful.

Proof #3: Genetics

Genetics teaches that there are barriers through which genetic change cannot go. Species of plants and animals exist in groups of species which are separated from all other such groups. And this is just what the Bible teaches in Genesis 1 where Moses tells us that God created the "kinds" of plants and animals to reproduce each one "after its own kind."
Genetics gives the lie to Charles Darwin's notion that, given time, genetic variation has been unlimited, so that an amoeba could evolve into a university professor in 3 billion years.

Funny.






Proof #4: Age of the Earth vs Population of the Earth

Today the population grows at 2% per year. If we set the population growth rate at just 0.5% per year, then total population reduces to zero at about 4500 years ago. If the first humans lived 1,000,000 years ago, then at this 0.5% growth rate, we would have 10^2100 (ten with 2100 zeros following it) people right now.

If the present population was a result of 1,000,000 years of human history, then several trillion people must have lived and died since the emergence of our species. Where are all the bones? And finally, if the population was sufficiently small until only recently, then how could a correspondingly infinitesimally small number of mutations evolved the human race?




Complete Logical Fallacy, thy name is Evolution.

People read the Bible and say that its just a book, its just a book full of fictional characters and cute little stories. I strongly doubt that.

Take all the theories of evolution and compare them to to the Bible and actual science.

Which one sounds more logical, practical and complete?

Truth from God's word gives us purpose, while lies from the warped thinking of man give us a sense of hopelessness.

Its your choice: Fairy tale or faith.

How to Get Rid of Hiccups





Hold your breath for ten seconds while reclining or lying down. This is the preferred method to get rid of hiccups, and it is certainly one of the most popular. It works so well that I’m not above slinking down in my seat at a crowded restaurant to use it. I generally hold my breath for a bit more than ten seconds… I’m not above killing a few brain cells to get the job done.
image 1

Massage the upper, back part of the roof of your mouth. It may sound strange, but I got this one from my doctor. It stimulates the vagus nerve, which will subdue diaphragm spasms and get rid of hiccups for most people. He advised using a cotton-tipped applicator (he actually said Q-tip, but I’m no corporate stooge). Sensitive gag reflex? Try pulling on your tongue, as this also stimulates the vagus nerve.
image 3Drink a large glass of cold water quickly. This method will get rid of hiccups in a few ways. It gets your mind off your hiccups, it increases the carbon dioxide level in your blood, and the act of swallowing water lightly stimulates the vagus nerve. If this fails, try gargling ice water. At the very least, you’ll get hydrated.
image 4Breathe into a paper bag for a minute or two. This method helps to get rid of hiccups by calming you down and disrupting your breathing pattern. It also alters the oxygen to carbon dioxide ratio in your blood stream, which can calm diaphragm spasms. I wouldn’t pull this trick in public or at work though; people will think you’ve got mental health problems.
image 5Eat a spoonful of sugar. A 1971 study in the New England Journal of Medicine found that eating a spoonful of sugar can help people in getting rid of hiccups. Simply place one teaspoon of sugar on the back of your tongue and enjoy. Sticky foods like peanut butter or honey are said to work in a similar fashion. Looks like Mary Poppins was on to something.

How To Be Intimidating




Whether you are needing to get a point a cross, impress your friends, or calm a tense situation, intimidation can be a handy tool. It is not a feeling, though, one can necessarily command without a little prep work. True intimidation is more than doing your best Hulk impression. A Cretan relies only on brute force, while an Intense Intelligent individual employs confidence, cunning and cool to control any setting. Check out a more casual method of inducing this powerful emotion.

Watch what you say

You probably know people that simply speak too much. Their mouth are waterfalls of worthlessness with words just flopping all over the place. Invariable, they repeat themselves multiple times to make certain you heard them. What they do not understand is that their endless babble is actually having the opposite effect, you and everyone else around will tune the chatter out. Why listen the first time if you are just going to here it again and again. Learn from them and speak only when you have something important to say. Keep it short and never repeat yourself. Listeners will realize your words have weight and pay attention. Allow pauses to go unfilled rather than obliging those that are uncomfortable fake conversation. This creates an aura of unknown about you, and people always fear what they don't understand. And if you do talk make it logical. Notice how most intimidating people know how to deliver a threatining one liner. "Why so Serious?" "Are you sure you want to go down this road." Practice the facial expression with the line, perhaps the one eyebrow raise suits you, you never know until you try.

Learn from your best friend

Despite what your friends might believe, dogs cannot talk. They do, however, communicate through body language, and so should you. Carry yourself proudly by standing tall with good posture, illustrating to others that you do not back down. This also maximizes your size, so you can get all you can out of that 5' 9”, 150lb frame. Do not avoid your opponents face gaze and keep your facial expressions to a minimum; no smiling like a goofy idiot. Wearing a poker face forces the intimidee to guess your emotions, and they likely won't choose happy. Just look at how many people freak out when they see a little spider crawling up the wall, its tiny, but it could be poisonus, it truly is the thought that counts.

Keep an eye on fashion

 Your ensemble is an important part of earning intimidation. We are not talking about dressing real flashy, or in blood soaked clothes. The latter would probably make sure others keep their distance, but not likely to go over well at the office. Wear clothes that are visibly well made and compliment your body. Avoid things the shine or fit too tight. No need to promote brands; a subtle, confident wardrobe that doesn't need a label works best. Your look will have mass appeal and avoid giving the impression you are compensating for a lack of...personality.

Use your head

Finally, be confident. Imagine yourself as a powerful individual. It is crude, but effective. All of the tips we have been discussing build your intimidation factor for several reasons. First, they should make you confident. Also, your appearance and demeanor does not show weakness and thus you are not a target for intimidation. You don't seem to be covering a flaw; it looks like you belong there. What you've done is build a solid foundation to draw from. When you need to step up and back someone else down, the work has already been done, just take what is yours.
