I'm back to my computer after what seems like forever!! In my absence I have glimpsed absolutely nothing except for clouds and some of the complexity of human behaviour and life. Looking at the rest of the people around me I can safely say that they are some of the hardest subjects to study. Being one of them doesn't help me at all. One of the things that are slightly mystifying to me is our complete oblivion to the way we treat others. I know that not everyone does this but it seems to me that we can see the splinter in someone else's eye but not the log in our own. I am not a specialist in human behaviour but I have my hunches to why this happens to even the best of us. Here are some of them:

1. We want to see the worst in others to make us feel better about ourselves ( like in bullying cases)

2. We can't handle the fact that the average person is not better than the average person and that we really need to treat others the same as what we would treat ourselves.

3. We convince ourselves that whatever we are doing or not doing is different to what another person is doing or not doing, when actually they are in the same category.

I have now run out of hunches and my Internet meter is running wild. On this note I bid you farewell and hopefully I will be back soon with something more exciting than this.

P.S. Please tell me if I said something wrong or misinforming in the post. It will be greatly appreciated!!

Security Shield warning

Does anyone know anything about Security Shield? it appeared on my computer a couple of days ago and I can't get rid of it. Any ideas would be most welcomed!! I just want to take a minute to warn all of my followers ( all two of you!!) not to download anything that has to do with Security Shield as it is extremely annoying and could be harmful to your health and the health of the computer ( as it makes you so mad you would give anything to throw your computer across the room).

Movie Help

These past couple of weeks I watched a million and one movies!! I now have a pretty god idea of what movies are worth watching and which ones aren't. i have decided to make a list to help you , next time you go to the DVD store, to pick the right movie.

1.Flipped - This movie is a "girl meets boy" kind of movie. There is no swearing, no inappropriate content ( except for some suggestive language) and has good humor.

2. Believe In Me - Sporty, funny and family friendly. If you like good triumphing over bad, inspiring, or based on real life event genres then this would be a really good movie to watch!

3. Secondhand Lions - Funny, no vulgar language and has a good plot. Adventure , romance and some mystery all mixed in one great movie!!

4. RV - Family friendly and very funny!!

5. Johnny English - This is hilarious!! Only has one scene that has some suggestive language.

6. The gods must be crazy - Also very funny and quite appropriate. Worst scene is were someone is getting undressed and you see them in their underwear but that is it.

7. The gods must be crazy 2 - Family friendly and funny!!

8. Yours, mine, and ours - Makes you laugh but has some suggestive language and kissing.

9. Leap Year - Puts a smile on your face but has serious kissing ( only on one spot) and has suggestive language that might not be appropriate for children under 13.

10. Any of the Chronicles of Narnia - Adventurous and funny without being over the top.

Movies that should be off limits:

1. Georgia Rules - Extreme sexual content and swearing.

2. Just one of the guys - Extreme sexual content.

3. Greenfingers - Alot of swearing and inappropriate content.

For now these are some of the movies I would recomend to/not to watch. I hope this was useful and that you enjoy your next movie!

If you know the song "Where is the love" by The Black Eyed Peas then I would like to know if it made an impact on you. I was listening to it, reading the lyrics and wondering if people have completely lost all sense of love for each other. To help bring my point across here is the chorus:


People killing people dying
Children hurtin you hear them crying
Can you practice what you preach
Would you turn the other cheek?
Father Father Father help us
Send some guidance from above
Cause people got me got me questioning
Where is the love?


I know that a specific someone will say something about the grammar but this song has me wondering "Where the love at"? What happened to "love your neighbour as you love yourself"? Yes, there are organizations that care for people in foreign countries but what about the average person? I once heard a very smart man that said "The average person thinks he/she is better than the average person". - Dr. David Jeremiah

If we think we're so much better than the average person then why don't we treat the average person as we treat ourselves? Treat them with decency and respect.

My mom and I baked 165 cookies the other day and we've almost finished them all too!! It was exhausting but the cookies were so good! When we first started making the biscuits we most definitely didn't know what we were getting ourselves into. We don't have an electric beater so we had to do all the mixing with a weird little tool that looks like a squashed spoon! Once we finished mixing everything together we had to wrap the dough around a mini Rollo (yes that took a really long time!!) . Surprisingly we only had two trays full of raw dough-covered-Rollos but they're so small that we could fit 80 biscuits in one tray, although we squished a little more than that into the second tray. I really enjoy baking but it does get tiring except if you have good music too listen too :) . I hope you didn't find this post too boring(: .

Dreams

Have you ever had dreams that were so real that you still remember them days later? When you wake up it feels like you were in the real world and then fell asleep instead of the other way around. I like dreams that are like that so that I can think about them until I dream again. Sometimes I still feel my heart skip a beat when I think about something that happened in it. What I don't understand is why we can't dream about stuff (or people) we want to dream about. I don't know if this is true for you or if it's just me but I can't make myself dream about things/people, it just randomly happens.

I know this was a really wierd post but I thought it could be cool. Let me know what you think!!

I found this poem in a movie and I thought that you might like it (I did!!).


Brown Penny

by William Butler Yeats


"I whispered, 'I am too young,'
And then, 'I am old enough';
Wherefore I threw a penny
To find out if I might love.
'Go and love, go and love, young man,
If the lady be young and fair.'
Ah, penny, brown penny, brown penny,
I am looped in the loops of her hair.

O love is the crooked thing,
There is nobody wise enough
To find out all that is in it,
For he would be thinking of love
Till the stars had run away
And the shadows eaten the moon.
Ah, penny, brown penny, brown penny,
One cannot begin it too soon."

Yes I know I posted a video last time too but I'm a little short on time at the moment. Anyway I hope you like Skillet and if you don't likde heavy metal keep going!!

See ya!! :)

So today I just hung out with my mom and did some math. It snowed alot during the night so it was all white this morning...It was beautiful! I'm not quite sure what else I want to say so I'm going to post a song instead. Hope you like it!!
