Rant #2
So I'm writing here, pondering all these questions and realizing that either the entire class has forgotten my blog URL or no one is bothering to post anything. Not that I am particularly excited (anymore) to post blogs up simply because I have limited time but I understand that it's necessary for a grade.
Anyhoo, I've already explained most of the things I've found interesting only to have no body post on them. Meaning I wonder if I should blog about things I care about if no one will read them? Sort of like the epic question "If a tree falls and no one is around to hear it does it still make a noise?" Speaking of which the answer is no for everyone who did not know. The fact is that noise is simply our ear drum picking up vibrations in the air due to changes in pressure -- so if no one is around to hear the tree it technically does not make a noise.
Maybe I should make this blog just a random answering site like ChaCha or whatever. Here's a little list of logical fallacies:
1. Opposites cancel each other out
- Jimmy ate something toxic. Therefore, if he wants to live he should ate something non-toxic.
2. Two wrongs make a right
- At the mall, Sally was given an extra $5 on her purchase by accident. She decided to keep it because if the store had overcharged they would have kept the money.
3. Gambler's Fallacy
- Since the changes of flipping heads on a coin are 50%, and we have flipped 5 tails, the next flip will be a head.
Those are the most interesting, the rest are kind of boring and slightly common.
Things I love:
1. Christopher Walken movies -- has anyone ever seen a sexier strip dance than his "Pennies From Heaven" tapdance/strip.
2. Late night photo shots -- because everyone looks their best at 2:00 am
3. People who walk on the stone wall instead of the brick walkway
4. Motown -- because truly everyone wishes they could dance and sing like they did back in the day
5. Sushi -- does this really need an explication?
6. Girls who can hit back
7. Speaking in obscure, made-up languages with my twin brother
8. Re-enacting LOTR -- if you know what the abbreviation means you love it too
Sorry for the random topics but it was all my brain could produce. And hey it's not like anyone reads this anyway!

hahahaha I actually enjoyed this quite a lot. The first few weeks, no one (I mean no one) would comment on my blog and I am not a person you needs affirmation or approval, but I felt like if I was putting so much effort into it, somebody should appreciate my work. Frankly, I thought it be quite rude that my classmates were choosing to neglect me. So in other weeks, I didn't really put but so much effort into my work. I definitely thought I was the only one that felt that way. (notice the connection were making) Now I feel bad for not visiting your blog until now. I would have definitely commented on your thoughtful posts, but I commented the order that the names were given in. And LOTR is Lord of the Rings. I have never seen the movie(s) and I figured it out pretty easily, just saying. But last thing, you're a twin too? That definitely makes you ten times cooler in my book.
