The grass is so green right now.

It's been raining a lot lately. Many people hate the rain. They hate the way it makes them feel, soggy, bleak, tired. When it rains, people complain, people get stressed. All they can see is the rain. It's as if it has always been raining, and it will never stop. For them, their is no end result, it's just raining. As for me, I don't really mind it. I don't like that wet, soggy, cold feeling either, but I guess, I like the whole reminder that we get from it and the rainbows of course. It can last so long in Spring and seem so endless, but the end result is so enormous. It's like God is saying, "Hey guys, it's grey now, but wait a couple days, just hold on. Trust me, it's going to stop." And then there are rainbows, I love rainbows. I guess the whole point of this is that I just think it's cool that it stays so grey for so long and then there's this endless amount of color that you usually only find in Crayons. I mean, look at the grass.

Finally went to Canton, can you say awkward, but that's another story. The egg rolls were alright, I wasn't that impressed. My first one was good, but then the second one had really crunchy cabbage in it, which I didn't like that much. Afterwords we went to my house and watched a movie and then we watched PBS kid cartoons. There was this one called It's A Big Big World and the basic premice of this show is this really wise, hippy sloth teaches his friends about stuff. The first episode was him and his friend, a tree frog, going around and trying to figure out different ways to exercise, which is pretty funny considering, he's a sloth and he had this huge gut and he didn't do any of the exercises they found. The second episode was him and this monkey who thought that someone had stolen the breeze and that's why it was so hot. So the sloth tells him to develop a hypothesis, and the monkey says, "Hypothe-what?" and then the sloth's all like "A hypothesis is a really big science word man, that means a guess about what might happen, dude." Then they talked about ants and how they're cold blooded and how the monkey and the sloth were mammals and therefore warm blooded. And then he turns towards the camera and he's like "All you kids out there watching are mammals to, What's up fellow mammals! Yeah." Then at the very end he sang this song which was sort of mellow and oddly enough made me feel really sleepy, but one of the lines of the song was "It's so good to be alive, come on, give me a high five." Then he held up his hand and it was so silly because he only had four fingers.

We're rockin' the suburbs, around the block just one more time; We're rockin' the suburbs 'cuz I can't tell which house is mine.

New Ben Folds lyrics and I love them. The stuff on the Over the Hedge album is amazing. A new, hilarious, and family-friendly version of Rockin' the Suburbs, which I was also very skeptical of but now love a lot. Check it out http://music.aol.com/songs/new_releases_full_cds

“Still”

I must give the impression that
I have the answers for
everything
You were so disappointed
To see me unravel so easily

It’s only change
It’s only everything I know
It’s only change
And I’m only changing

You want something that’s constant
And I
only wanted to be me
But watch even the stars above
Things that seem
still are still changing

That song is just incredible. I think it's the one he played at the concert. La Da, La Da Da Da Da

Orange drink + Egg rolls = Highlighter

To all of you who have been waiting in growing anticipation for the before-promised May Banquet post, my laziness has conquered again. May Banquet. I went, it was fun, danced with some people, drank delicious orange drink (no that is not a code name for an alcoholic beverage), danced with some more people. It was a good time. I know some people didn't have such a swell time and I'm really sorry about that. Sometimes, people are stupid. I never really have understood why people can't just make decent decisions, but it's one night in the midst of a thousand others, it just costs more than the rest. I have pictures, if you want to see, you should come over sometime. I even have this cool movie I made, with a song and stuff. I'll provide the popcorn!

The search is on to find the best egg rolls in Jefferson county. Caleb claims that they are at Canton on Main Street, I don't know about that, I've had some pretty amazing ones at the Golden Wok. So we're going to Canton after exams next week to check it out. Hopefully we'll get some people to come along so it's not one long discussion about egg rolls, although, that might not be so bad. So, I'll be sure to update on that quest although, you're probably learning fast not to hold your breath.

Have a good night everybody and I really do mean that.

Good Grief!

I was going to make a blog post about May Banquet, but I just realized that it's Sunday night and I haven't called my sister yet. So, watch for that one, it's coming shortly.

Oh, and I've always thought good grief would make a good post title. No explanation why.
