Life After Fries/Life Before Haircuts

Yes, my faithful readers your most beloved erratic blogger is back with another edition of the...um, well, the blog...yeah, that's it. No flashy title, can't really call it anything I guess. It's just a blog...

Meh, whatever.

It has been a gazillion seconds since I've updated because life has been, well, intense. That would be the word to describe it. I feel like every morning that I wake up and kill giants before breakfast and then loot their camps after lunch. Because the loot of each giant is so big (have you ever tried carrying a 15-foot giant's breastplate across a battlefield that is scarred beyond fertility for the next 800 years? No? Thought so. So don't laugh.), that takes until about 3 hours after dark (really big floodlights) and then I go and make another breakthrough in how to get cotton balls into medicine bottles more efficently.

A combination of optimism and adjunct pessimism has decended upon my soul and the combination of the two provide the most amazing emotions within. You should try it sometime; makes for the most interesting conversations among friends.

Oh well, semester's almost over and I once again am resolving to have better time management next time...finding that delicate, yet critical balance between the jet setting slacker and the hermitized workaholic. Consistency is definitely the key. In the past, routine has been my friend, but this year is anything but routine (if you haven't noticed by my posts).

So we'll see what happens...

Spock out.

The Expulsion of Gas

Warning: If you are offended by the topic of belching, it is recommended that you do not read this post. Instead, click a link or read a different one...

Ah, yes. God definitely has a sense of humor. I mean, who'd a thunk about belching?

Ok...you all look confused...have some context:

This morning in class, we were praying through a part of the liturgy of the Psalms at the beginning of Old Testament Survey. As we were, the funniest thing happened; someone, affectionately known as "the stomper" belched. It wasn't a full-bore "I am really gross and disgusting" type belch, but a short "I didn't see that coming" type belch. It wasn't loud enough to affect the whole class, but was enough to get those standing close by laughing.

That good enough for context?

I think that God has a sense of humor because who else would have thought of that? I know that some people are repulsed by the idea, but even they, in their heart of hearts, laugh at a burp once in a while too. Just think of the creativity that would be put into a belch - the resonating of the stomach and such, the snickering that happens as almost an instinct, the ummmm, uhh...I'm not totally sure how burps work, just that they're funny.

I mean, I can only wonder what Adam and Eve thought the first time they heard each other belch...or their own belch for that matter. That's crazy. Hats off to God for making something so unique and so crazy!
