Cheese is addictive

For real. I was watching T.V. (ok, i'll admit it, I was watching Ellen) and the doctor they had on was talking about food addictions and unhealthy eating. He said things like cheese have chemicals in them that have similar properties to opium. In other words, you start eating cheese and you begin to crave it. He said the same thing for sugar; no surprize there. He also said that when you stop eating this stuff and begin eating healthy food regularly, you actually begin to crave the healthy food.
I think being lazy is addictive too. The wierd thing is, I find that the more I sit on the couch, the more I want to sit on the couch longer. On the flip side, when I actually start doing stuff, the more I move around and get things done, the more I feel motivated to get more done. When I'm actually getting stuff done, I no longer crave for my time on the couch. I find this interesting.


3 things for today:

so, at work... I put little plastic tabs on peiced of cardboard... for 10 hours... love it

a guy lets his dog swim in the ocean next to his boat or whatever... a huge shark come from underneath and attempts to swallow the small dog whole. The dog's owner jumps into the water and begins punching the huge shark.
Ok, for real? no dog is that important bud... thats worse than spending thousands of dollars on surgery/treatment for a dog. sorry, I love them... but its a dog!

I had a dream the other night that there was a train crash and everyone died... but I wasn't on the train. so I guess if you are planning on riding the train I would hold off on that.

A new day

Here is my thought for the day; and I'm not speaking of any one person in particular. We live in a world where friendly debate doesn't exist. ok, maybe its not extinct, but it is endangered. I have the joy of doing this quite often, but I rarely see it happening otherwise. I have people in my life that I can debate on fundamental life issues... big stuff... we have polar views on the topics. When we are tired of debating issues, we can relax, drink coffee together, and enjoy each other's company. Too many people have the mindset that because you dissagree with someone on an issue, you cannot be friends with them. The world's view of who friends are is commonality. I have friends that have nothing in common with me... and I think that is a good way to live.


something I've done, something in the news, and something that happened to me:

I wrote a note on facebook about love and got some interesting responses (since i haven't left my apartment since my last blog, thats all I could come up with)

The stock market crashed 600 points today, wish I had money to buy stock right now. The house couldn't pass the bailout plan... fine with me. I wish they would stop being whiners though. Polosi said something about Bush that offended Republicans, so they voted against the bill because Polosi was for it. Can anyone say "gradeschool mentality"? Get a backbone.

I was hoping I didn't have to work tonight... but they said I did. Dang it.

I'm tired... so here are random thoughts

well, I apologize for I have missed two days of blogging. I was, for the most part, away from the internet for the weekend. Right now I am tired and don't feel like thinking.

I tried to think of a few thoughts to leave you with... I think I might start a tradition of saying at the end of my blogs something that I did, my opinion on something in the news, and something that happened to me.

I watched Eagle Eye today... great movie

I think its hilarious that there is a hurricane by the name of Kyle that will hit canada... haha... watch out Kiel, your evil twin is coming to get you... obvious being jealous of the way you spell your name.

Sunday school was about politics... I'd like for that to not ever happen again

Give to Ceasar what is Ceasar's

I can't help but be glued to the news in the last couple weeks regarding the economy. I just find it intriguing. I really didn't know much about the economy before, and it seems everyday I realize an additional layer of complication with the current crisis.

That being said... I praise God that I am not called to "worry" about it. Money is something that I have recently chosen not to worry about. After prayer and study, I realized that I can live my life glorifying God (which is my entire purpose) with or without money. God will provide it if it is necessary to his plan for my life.

I used to dream of having it all... I was going to be a wealthy veterinarian, have a huge house, and financial security for my future. God blessed me with the opportunity to live in a very nice house for a semester, and through it all, I realized it was something I didn't need... or even want anymore.

what kind of an adventure is financial security? I have found myself, right now, closer to God than ever before. Why? Because almost every aspect of my life is broken and insecure (I say almost because he is still working on me... there is more brokenness and insecurity to come). As a result, I find myself reaching to God... putting my faith in Him.

and I can feel him reaching for me... for the first time


I started out talking about the wall street problem... so not that it matters, but let me offer my opinion.
Use the 700 Billion on education, health care, and feeding the poor... as for wall street: crash and burn baby! it will correct itself... it always does. In the meantime, those that made poor -or straight up bad- decisions will be weeded out.

Well... this will work for now

I am working at the printing company again for the next two weeks. Its not horrible, even though it's not very exciting... and it pays the bills. Its also 3rd shift, so if you want to hang out its going to have to be in the afternoon. My life is so weird...

Random thought of the day:
I love Coffee

Structure

Hey all!

I am going to write down some of my thoughts everyday (or almost everyday) on here. Its all part of my attempt at structuring my life in this transition period. Please feel free to leave comments on my thoughts or whatever.
