Tonight I found my kitten INSIDE his bag of cat food. He’s a stocky little fellow, he doesn’t need constant access to food. I had the doors open to do my laundry and he snuck up on to the shelving above the dryer and started to chow down. I heard the bag crunch and saw the bottom half of my cat sticking out. I’m just lucky he didn’t spill it, or he’d probably be trying to eat the carpet for weeks haha. I think I’m going to be taking him to the vet for a quick check up soon. I think he has allergies since his eyes are always running or his nose is.

This morning I finished organizing the bathroom. Now there is no more clutter on the countertops. It’s really freaky going in there though, because I’m so used to it. I did some laundry and a couple other things. The dishes are completely piled up somehow again. I just ran the dishwasher last night and I haven’t even cooked anything. I don’t really get it. No matter how much I accomplish in a day, there is always twice as much stuff to get done later. Maybe that’s why I feel like I never get anything done. Boo, off to do more dishes.

It would be really nice if people today had the same morals and chivalrous behavior as I am led to believe they did back in the medieval times. Back then you respected everyone because if you didn’t you all had the right to battle each other and fight to cut off the other one’s head. Now a days if you fight back when you’re disrespected everyone cuts your head off and puts the offender on a pedestal. It doesn’t make any sense. If idiots started crap and got their head cut off no one would care. Now idiots start crap and because they get punched in the fact the person who punched him gets an assault charge.

A couple months ago my mom bought a new vacuum. And as good as that vacuum worked, it cost her 2000 dollars. Basically it sucked up stuff off the floor and put it into the filter, but the filter had water in it so the dirt really couldn’t get out. You should have seen the water stuff when she was done vacuuming. It looked and had the consistency of mud. My mom’s house is not one of those houses that you would consider dirty either. I basically resolved that I would never want one of those because I don’t want to suck up that much dirt and think that my house is so disgusting at the end.

My new kitten is finally adjusting to the house. And by adjusting I mean that my established cat has taken it upon herself to be his personal playmate. It’s really cute how they chase each other around the house. But it isn’t cute in the middle of the night while I’m trying to sleep. On occasion, cat forget that they need to use their off switch. I had forgotten just how much kittens eat too. This cat goes to town in the morning, noon, and night. He gets a chubby little belly at the end and falls asleep in various positions around the house. He’s really helping us to heal having lost our Kozmo.

American consumption of soda is not only disturbing but also disgusting. I think by now we’ve, the American population alone, have probably drunk an ocean full of it. Think about it…an ocean full of soda. And if we haven’t actually done it, then we’re pretty flipping close. THEN, we wonder why we’re sooooo fat. “Oh, but I drink diet soda.” Yea…but you also drink twice as much diet soda because you think it has the word ‘diet’ in it….America has forgotten the idea of ‘everything in moderation.’ If the word moderation was edible, we’d eat that and then ask for seconds.

One of the many problems in society today is that of stress. The problem is constant stress is that it puts your body in a scary state. Your body produces more hormones in order to attempt to regulate your stress state, and stress also causes inflammation. Not that your arms or legs are going to inflate, but just enough inflammation to cause you to have to breathe just a bit harder. This in turn makes your heart beat, just a little faster. Basically a chain reaction of slow destruction is created, so make sure to try and live as stress free as possible.

Sometimes it’s fun to stop and think where was I a year ago from right now? I don’t go so far as to actually check my bank accounts or anything. Have you grown at all? Have you made any new friends? What have you learned, whether it is trivial or helpful. I think I’ve grown a lot in a good way. I’ve definitely gotten more patient. I’ve realized why rush to get somewhere and get your blood pressure all high, when you’re going to get there whether you rush or not? Time to work on a new years resolution to focus my energy for the coming year. Lets hope it’s an even better one.

Harvest Moon for the original Playstation took up so much of my life in middle school. It’s true the graphics aren’t that note worthy, but the quality of the game is so phenomenal. Basically, it’s a game where you take over this crappy little farm from someone in your family (if I remember straight) and you have to get it up and running again. It doesn’t require TOO much brainpower, which is nice at the end of the day. The other great part is that you always accomplished enough in the game day to feel like you were actually accomplishing something. The worst part about the game was man handling all the cows back into the barn so they wouldn’t get eaten by wolves at night.

The other day at Walmart I found bubbles on sale. There was like 6 bottles for 2 dollars or some such. This is why you don’t go to Walmart…you always end up buying something silly with money you could be using for something awesome…like a new camera. Whatever though. Anyways, I decided to blow them in my living room at my cat. I inadvertently opened a can of bubbly awesome! She tore around the room trying to catch them with her face. Bloody hilarious! Almost a little more fun than the laser pointer. However, not more fun than watching her slide full speed into the counters though playing fetch with her mouse toy.
