So Time Travel IS Real!?

Just plain awesome! I wonder how many people actually answered this ad thinking that it was real.

 

My Philosophy in Life

 

 

Because I seriously don’t give the slightest fuck about anything anyone says or does.

 

 

Amazingly Simple Home Remedies

1- If you’re choking on an ice cube, simply pour a cup of boiling water down your throat, Presto! The blockage will instantly remove itself. (…or if you’re super good at holding your breath you can always wait for it to melt)

2- Avoid cutting yourself when slicing vegetables by getting someone else to hole the vegetables while you chop.(..or you can just buy you’re vegetables frozen, or better yet, who needs them, live on ice cream)

3- Avoid arguments about the toilet seat – use the sink.

4- For high blood pressure sufferers – simply cut yourself and bleed for a few minutes, thus reducing the pressure on your veins. Remember to use a timer.(…or just hire a sparkly vampire to suck your blood every now and then, that should help even more, it reduces your blood pressure and you get to turn into one and help others)

5- A mouse trap placed on top of your alarm clock will prevent you from rolling over and going back to sleep after you hit the snooze button. (…and if you have any mice around you it might be the first thing you see in the morning)

6– If you have a bad cough, take a large dose of laxatives. Then you’ll be afraid to cough.

7- You only need two tool in life – WD-40 and duct tape. If it doesn’t move and should, use the WD-40. If it shouldn’t move and does, use the duct tape. (…duct tape is also useful if you want to shut someone up, and not just for moving objects)

8- Remember – everyone seems normal until you get to know them. (…that is when you discover that they’re really idiots pretending to be normal)

9- If you can’t fix it with a hammer, you’ve got an electrical problem. (…and unless that electrical problem is in the wall, then throw it out the window, preferably at the idiot who’s been bugging you)

Daily thought: Some people are like slinkies – Not really good for anything, but they bring a smile to your face when pushed down the stairs.

 

The Square Root of Three

This is probably the geekiest, sweetest, and most awesome poem I’ve ever heard.

  by David Feinberg

I fear that I will always be,
A lonely number like root three,
The three is all that’s good and right,
Why must my three keep out of sight

Beneath the vicious square root sign,
I wish instead I were a nine,
For nine could thwart this evil trick,
With just some quick arithmetic

I know I’ll never see the sun, as 1.7321
Such is my reality, a sad irrationality

When hark! What is this I see,
Another square root of a three,
Has quietly come waltzing by,
Together now we multiply
And form a number we prefer,
Rejoicing as an integer

We break free from our mortal bonds,
And with the wave of magic wands,
Our square root signs become unglued
And love for me has been renewed

 

Happy Blogiversary to A Whole Lot of Blah!

One year ago today (to the exact minute this post was published) I started A Whole Lot of Blah and published  my first blog post. (No I’m not talking about my first blog post ever, since I have other neglected blogs around the internet that I used to update before I started this one, but my first one on A Whole Lot of Blah.)

I never thought I’d ever update it past that first one but after a several months I realized that I’d been updating at least a few times a month, so I set a goal for myself, to update at least once a month for a year…and as my two year old niece would say whenever she climbed up onto my bed and jumped off: “I DID IT!”  

I’m hoping that I continue posting on a monthly basis for another year…and another..and another…who knows how much blah I can come up with for the near future.

 

It’s Like It Has a Mind of Its Own…I Swear

I live alone and have three TVs in my apartment, only one of which actually work. I have one in the living room, one in what was my parents bedroom before they moved back to our home in Zarka, and the only working one is of course in my bedroom. 

The TV in my parents bedroom works, but the satellite cable needs to be replaced because the current one is so old it’s fallen apart, the satellite also needs re-positioning and since I can’t do all that on my own, I just ignore its existance. 

The one in the living room is hooked to the same satellite dish the TV in my bedroom is hooked to, the receiver is fine too, but I swear the TV has a mind of its own. You see, one day you turn it on and it’s fine, you spend a week or two watching stuff on it, then one day a few weeks later, you turn it on to watch something while you’re in the kitchen and it’s suddenly stopped working and all you’re getting is that damn blank blue screen. This “mood swing” will go on for several weeks until one day you turn it on and guess what, it’s working again. 

The last time I watched something on it, or should I say the last time it was working was last summer. It’s refused to work since then, and this has been the longest “mood swing” until now, so I just gave up and decided to ignore the damn thing until it got over itself.

Then last night, almost a year later, I had a dream. I don’t remember the details but someone or something told me to open the TV because it was working again, the same someone or something also told me never to turn it off. I know, weird, right? 

I remembered this dream at work so I told myself I’d give it a try as soon as I got home. After I had my dinner and watched the latest episode of Unforgettable, I went to the living room and turned the TV on expecting to get the blue screen as usual. But surprise surprise, as soon as I switched it to AV2 it worked!

So since that part of my dream came true, I’ve decided to take the advice of whoever or whatever it was that told me to keep the TV on forever, and never turn it off. Well not literally, I’m not going to turn it off using the power button or pull the plug out. I am however going to use the off button on the remote instead, since that will keep the TV on AV2. Of course I’m hoping that this will work, unless there’s a power outage, then I’ll cross my fingers and hope that when I turn it back on again and switch to AV2 it’ll still be working.

Its not like I’m really gonna be sitting in the living room from now on watching it since I’d rather be in bed while I watch my shows, but it would be nice to have a TV on when I’m in the kitchen cooking or doing dishes. I suspect the real reason I haven’t cooked much this past year is because I haven’t had anything to keep me entertained while I spend a few hours in the kitchen. 

 

 

If You Did This…

Yep, I used to do this all the time.

When I was 6 we stayed in Jordan for a year, my uncle’s place had this weird tiny hallway on the right next to the entrance that had a dead end, it was slightly narrower than a doorway and they used it for storage. My cousins and I would climb all the way to the top, touch the ceiling, and jump down. It was so much fun!
