The conversations we do sometimes have with peers can be seen as pointless and superficial. It is very often that one would ask a question out of politeness without meaning or actually caring about the questioned asked. On many occasions I have asked how a person was with out really paying any attention to the response while going about my business shortly after.
Kessler is extremely honest and casual about her feelings toward the conversations that transpire between her and her peers. It is not too critical to say the conversation we sometimes have do not contain any meaning. Kessler uses the words “trite” and “gratuitous” to make a point. In this situation and for her essay these word choices prove to be very appropriate.

Green Monsters
It would most definitly please me to say that I have never been jelause of anything. Unfortunetly if I did attempt to admit to that lie my nose would be as long as the Gunderson Pool and there would be a birds nest at the end of it. Of course that is a total exageration. I truthfully can say that I don't get jealous very often. I can also say that it is mainly over two things: one being food and two being radiant hapiness. I'm not a depressed person in the least, but after having a week or two of okay days the idea of an infintily climatic day can easily seap into ones state of mind. I don't lust over other peoples' lives. I lust over the perfect idea of my own. One person's cup of tea can be another poison right? It's what I believe and the reason I don't just follow people around trying to be them. That is getting off the subject though so we can forget about that for now. Basically I just wanted to get these thoughts out of my head and onto something else. The memory of my pc can hold these thoughts for me until I have a plan. I really would just love to have more phenomal days, but I am greatful for the ones I have already had and the people that helped me make them. Those are the memories I want to keep close to my heart and mind.

I Think it's Kind of Funny...
I think it's kind of funny how the moment we reach that perfect moment of relaxation is the same moment that we feel completely bored out of our skulls. Or maybe its just me, but humans tend to want what they don't have. While having that relaxation time to yourself you are leaving out all those fun times to be had with other. I suppose it is all about balance though. Maybe one day I will have it.

Swine Flu
The effects the media has on people is amazing. The reason that sparked this thought was the many pictures of people wearing those face mask respirating things. Anyway so I have be seeing pictures like that every day when I go to My Yahoo homepage and under the picture the subtitle will say something like "is swine flu the big one?" Hearing all the hype, I decided to google swine and found that it probably won't end up being the "big one." Who knows though I guess, but unless you are living anywhere near pigs you are quite safe. And if you are like me and are thinking "what about food can you catch from that?" The answer is no apparently if you are eating properly cooked pork you will not catch and if you do that means you food was cooked incorrectly and you might be at risk so something even more serious like salmonella(I don't really know if that is more serious). Bird flu seemed much worse because it is much harder to stay away from pigeons and seagulls then a pig farm. Unless you work them I guess. Anyway this blog is starting to go off track so this shall be the last sentence.

CST's Can Suspend Time
Sometimes good things come from these test too like this poem. I really liked it and would agree that these are some decent rules to live by.
If by Rudyard Kipling
If you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you;
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
But make allowance for their doubting too;
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
Or, being lied about, don't deal in lies,
Or, being hated, don't give way to hating,
And yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise;
If you can dream - and not make dreams your master;
If you can think - and not make thoughts your aim;
If you can meet with triumph and disaster
And treat those two imposters just the same;
If you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken
Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
Or watch the things you gave your life to broken,
And stoop and build 'em up with wornout tools;
If you can make one heap of all your winnings
And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
And lose, and start again at your beginnings
And never breath a word about your loss;
If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
To serve your turn long after they are gone,
And so hold on when there is nothing in you
Except the Will which says to them: "Hold on";
If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with kings - nor lose the common touch;
If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you;
If all men count with you, but none too much;
If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds' worth of distance run -
Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,
And - which is more - you'll be a Man my son!

Obession
I know a person that we will name A that is completely crazy. Yeah sure I love A, but I always want to kick A in the shin as well. Any way A is driving me crazy and needs to get over themselves and needs to stop building their confidents on failed attempts to put people down. Well you sucks for you A because you don't effect me and you only effect those that pity you.

Post Earth Hour
So I really did do it like I went behind my dusty tv and unplugged that too. Yay me. It gave me a chance to do some major thinking I might do that once a week now. Hopefully I will follow through with that, but until then I will just continue on with my night.
