I cannot spell anymore.

What the frack?

Up until about a year ago, I NEVER had to use spell-check- it was something I prided myself on.

Today, I found myself spell-checking twice while writing a short story. I shall withhold which words turned out to be problematic for me. Let's just say, I am embarassed.

I am now even more excited to return to school- apparently it has become a necessity.

Guys and Gals.

Never has there been more idiotic controversy than the debate about how men and women differ.

Seriously folks, why? Why is it so confusing?

It's the C word. Ok, minds out of the gutter (just for a second, you can go back there when i'm done). Communication. That's the real C word that's causing all of the problems.

Nobody fucking talks. It's not difficult- we've been doing it most of our lives. So why do we stop short? Why don't men say "Hey, I'm a dude. I'm uncomplicated and I like sex". Ladies- I don't hear any "I am a complicated individual, who is fixated on romance and sensual nuances". Or whatever it is that you dig (I understand that needs, personality types, etc. differ greatly from person to person). But no. Most people focus on the art of saying what they want their partner to hear.

A lot of confusion, depression, stalking and drunk texts would die down if people would just be upfront. Acceptance is also a large part of the equation. We all need to be willing to accept that we cannot change one another. People's base personalities are there to stay. So don't waste your time on someone you feel compelled to change. It will never work.

The last component to clearing up the confusion is compatability. Find someone who does not drive you crazy. Find someone who's quirks drive you wild (in a good way). With over 6 billion people on the planet, there really are options people.

If you still find yourself confused, adopt some friends from the opposite sex, and watch them closely, National Geographic style. Observe their tendencies, ask them questions.

If that doesn't work, then hopefully you will stumble upon someone just as clueless as you are- and find compatability in that facet.

I'm out.

It has occurred to me...

That maintaining a blog is a ridiculous amount of work. I mean, I really should have thought this through more thoroughly. Luckily for my 2 followers (yes, I am following myself, thank you very much), I am not a quitter. So even though I despise anything resembling work- I will make a sacrifice. Look at me, all Mother Theresa and stuff over here. *said with bad Jersey accent*







Fin.

Epic.

So, strictly out of boredom, I you-tubed one of my favorite words: epic. This is what I found:

(WARNING: Lame music alert. Should have definitely been added to the epic fail list.)



Not only was it epic, but it was epic failures. Like America's Funniest Home Videos/Cartoons/Lolcats/Sparta on crack.

Alright, now back to that horrid song. I definitely watched this one with the audio off. You may find yourself confronted with the same desire. Unless you enjoy buttrock, or Nickelback.

What?!? Ok! I'm sorry. I'll stop. I've been advised that quite a few people do, indeed, love said bands.

Ok, so yea. That was your moment of "Epic" for the day.

Practical uses for Twitter?! OMGWTFFTW!

Guess what tweeters, twits, twatters, etc. - Your tweets now have purpose. According to the article enclosed in the link below, the USGS (United States Geological Survey) is using your valuable tweets to help detect earthquakes.

That's pretty kick ass. Imagine the possibilities! I'm gonna get the twibe together and brainstorm. Okay, okay. I don't have a twibe. ....yet.

Another positive- you now have a valid retort for those "twitterhaters": "I don't see you monitoring geological activity from your tweetdeck on the daily." (Be sure to follow that statement with an "Oh snap!" or maybe even a "That JUST happened" if you're feeling feisty).

In all seriousness though- it's a fabulous example of people utilizing available resources (whether supposedly trivial or not) and making a difference globally.



That is all.

A formal introduction

I suppose that when one writes a blog, they should include some sort of introduction in their first post. Something that perhaps explains why their blog is superior. Or maybe a few tidbits about themself, so that readers feel a certain kinship with them. Quaint, right?

I think that's a load of horseshit. You see, I don't particularly like expectations. Shouldn't you just know that I am amazing, and that everything I type is utter brilliance? (Just in case you didn't, I named my blog accordingly).

So in the spirit of being a team player- Hi, I am Isis. This is my blog. I plan to update it sometimes.
