With A Little Help From My Friends

With the group project and tons of other classwork, I have hardly had time to find some good sites to post up here.  The current weather has also sucked my creativity and inspiration right out of my body.  All I've wanted to do this week has been sleep.  But last week, Marvin gave me a site to look at, and a couple of days ago, Joy showed me another.  Both are quite interesting, so I thought I'd share them.

The webiste Marvin told me about is Today's Big Thing.  It has one post a day in each of the categories, whether it be videos, pictures, or cute animals.  Each post is hilarious, and being able to check back every day for something new is great.  It's a great website to go on for a couple of minutes every day to get a little chuckle.  Yesterday's video was great; it was a parody of Rebecca Black's "Friday."  But this girl put a religious spin on it and called it "Sunday." I still don't know if she is was being serious or joking, but it was very entertaining nonetheless.

While we were researching pictures for our group project, Joy found the website Foundshit.  It basically posts pictures of things.  Any kind of things.  But they're all really interesting to look at .  The blog has been around for about 4 years now, and they have amassed quite a collection of interesting thing to see.  They have a link on the blog to the subject of my very first ever blog post, Oddee, and a couple of other sites with strange pictures or weird articles.  Each site is fun and can take up hours of time to explore, which is always a good thing.

So thanks to Marvin and Joy for showing me these sites, or else I would have found some really stupid thing to put up here instead, which would have been boring for all of us.

Lighten Up!

My past week has been pretty crazy.  It's getting to be the end of the semester, so my professors are really piling on the work, and on top of that, I have rugby practice AND I got sick last week.  I was stressed.  It was not cool.  But then I remembered that it's only school, right?  I mean, if I get a less than stellar grade on a test, is it really that big of a deal?  My philosophy is not to take anything too seriously, and I sincerely try to keep to that.  I need a good dose of laughter and tomfoolery in my life.  So does this guy.

Surviving the World is a good place to go if you need a little pick-me-up after a rough day of classes.  This dude is the coolest.  Each day, his graphs, picture, etc. are all so wonderful and true.  His wonderfully straight face during most of the pictures kills me as well.  He is so spot-on with everything he posts, his insight is fascinating.

Moral of the story:  don't take things so seriously.  It's really not that big of a deal if you bomb a test next week, are you really going to remember it fifty years from now?  Highly doubtful.  So relax, and enjoy your life.  I could put so many corny quotes here, so I will.  From one of my all-time favorite movies, " Life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it."  That's right, ladies and gentlemen, Ferris Bueller's Day Off.  If anyone needs some sort of inspiration or idol in their life, it should be him.  He is the chillest kid ever.  I wish I was Ferris Bueller.
