Oh, the mind...

I meant to say "hello how are you?"  That is what I was thinking because that's what I meant to say, a normal greeting for a normal event.  Instead I said something more along the lines of "Ya know what's weird?  Wait shoot,  I meant to say him ok hi!  But what's weird is... never mind I'll shut up..."... 

I think the curious thing is that I never told my mouth to say that beforehand...  not one bit, I just wanted an average greeting and now I'm spewing random words like a crazy person!  Where did that come in? 

I admit, a small part of me is annoyed at myself for being a bit of a dork, which I'll openly admit is one of my traits.  However, I'm also slightly intrigued by the way my mind and body work in conglomeration!  Where did the thought process get corrupted from my brain to my mouth?  Why did it sound so much more nervous then I intended it to be, I didn't feel very nervous I think...  What an interesting, but confusing, thing.  The same thing goes for my eye-hand coordination, which is a joke.  I do not catch footballs.  It just really very rarely happens.  What gets me though, is that I can see it coming, and I think (this is an exploded format of the thought process, I confess) "Ah, here comes the ball, to catch it I simply reach my hands out and grasp it at the right time!"  and then I grunt when the ball hits me in the chest because my hands missed!  The funny thing would be that I totally knew what i had to do, and I know my mind isn't that slow (I'm good at video games, so I'm pretty sure my reaction time is good) but my body just seems to disagree?

  So who's in charge?  The mind or the body?  I always used to figure, of course the brain is, it runs all the functions, but now that I think about it, I wonder if the body doesn't get it's fair say.  Or maybe there's a whole unexplored part of the mind which just loves to confuse things (maybe I should look more deeply into self-hypnosis)... Wait, no, I'm going to take that out of parentheses, I'm going to look into self-hypnosis, and see if there is anything to the attempt of visualizing what's going on in the mind!

I'll tell you how it goes sometime, but for now, I hope your not as confused as I feel right now...

What's been learned

-Sometimes a faked smile is worse than a frown.
-Making someone laugh is better than finding a way to laugh for yourself.
-Giving up hope does indeed make someone hopeless.
-The phrase "no offense" can very often be a lie
-Conforming works for some people, but not all, thank goodness
-Socialism would work if it weren't for lazy people

That's not all, but it was on my arbitrary mind

Randomness #3

Ya know what's kinda dumb to me?  Well, since I can't hear your guess I'll tell you I suppose.
Fake fruit bowls.... umm, why?... I mean, I guess if you had to choose a food to display, fruit would be the best since it's the most colorful usually... but it's... fake...
I suppose my biggest problem with it is that it's a bait and trick thing... You see fuit, thus you start feeling a bit hungry and hey, there's some fruit! Yum!  You go to grab the fruit and it has LIED TO YOU!!!!  (although frankly I'm more of a veggie man myself)

   I like getting pseudo-worked up about things, like the fruit bowl idea.  Do I actually care that much?  No I don't but it was sorta fun to blow off some steam at it for kicks.  I'm actually pretty laid back unless something really ruffles my feathers...

      If curiosity killed the cat, but cats have nine lives.... can it safely be curious eight times?  And what was it so curious about that caused it's decease anyway?
My theory:  The dryer  (I went to a barn where they accidentally lost a cat that way... :(   )

    Kio estas amo?

    I'm really in the mood for a pizza right now, one of those frozen vareities, but regrettably I'm at work right now AND I have no school today, so I'm working a full time day...  This would be ok if my job was any fun at all (I work in an office, which pays well, but all I do is click buttons and pick up papers from the printer from time to time...)  Mind you, blogging during work isn't cutting into my efficiency because the website I work from takes quite a lot of time to load the next page, so I'm typing while it loads, no worries!

    My word for today is Superfluous, which means redundant, but is much more fun to say than redundant...

I recorded my first song with the ukulele, but I'm not gonna put it up until I redo it, because it needs some work.  But here's a spoiler:  The song is about my marching band's colorguard and how dang awesome they are.

(Trocker's in colorguard, but that's coincidence this time)

I'm straight, but have "flamboyant tendencies" as a friend of mine called them... I didn't think so 'til I realized that I kinda want to wear a scarf... weird... but I don't think I will, mainly because I'm too lazy to get one and enough people already ask if I'm gay... (which I would be if I didn't like girls and did like guys, neither of which are true)

Peace in!  As opposed to peace out... makes more sense to me now

Another episode of school blogging

Slacking off?  Hardly, I just have free time is all.   A LOT of free time when it comes to my broadcasting class, which I admittedly took because I already pretty much knew all about it... and my friend Spo is in it, who is also in a few of my older video projects (you will not be seeing them on this blog, because they were early attempts and suck...) so I use the time in that class to finish my project (10 minutes of my time) finish Spo's project (5 minutes, I still want to win) and then pretty much look stuff up on youtube or play with the recording equipment (which no one else in my class knows how to use, they kinda took it as a slack class as well it seems).
     
       So, I talked earlier about Esperanto, and I think I'll actually elaborate on it, because believe it or not, I actually motivated myself to start learning the stuff!  So I guess I'd best actually explain what Esperanto is...
Esperanto is a language, invented by a Russian physician in the 1800's, who was also Jewish I believe, and saw that the language barrier was causing all sorts prejudice, hatred, holocaust, yadda yadda yadda (Hitler didn't like Esperantists) and so he made Esperanto (which means "hope" in the language Esperanto)
He made this language to be the perfect 2nd language for everyone, so we could all communicate without paying millions for translators, yippee.
A few quirks that I love about Esperanto:
-Supposedly the easiest language to learn
-NO, I repeat, NO silly exceptions to rules in grammar or spelling, like in most english.  If it has letters, they all make sounds (the alphabet is mostly latin, but has a few added letters)
-Sounds vaguely spanish, or italian.
-is spoken by a few million people all over the world, there are even "native" speakers (their parents taught them)

I personally believe that Esperanto would be great if everyone knew it, worth a shot eh?
"but M.B.easy, think about how many countries who have learned English as the second language would have to rewrite so many things?"
Can ya blame me for suggesting more job opportunities in the linguistic department?
Do I think I'll ever see an Esperanto overhaul in my life?  No, probably not, but I can still support it right?

SO!  If you want to join me on my little escapade here and chat me up in this language (which I still don't too much of, but I'm getting there) there's a free online course!  It's at en.lernu.net if you're interested

gis revido! (see ya later)

Yesmaybe!

Well my fine friends, I believe I have taken the steps to allow you guys to actually comment on my posts without needing some kinda account!!! Yay, joy, whoop!  And to be completely honest, I would love it if anyone out there did so I could actually have feedback and feel all loved or whatever (or hated I guess, depending on what you comment ... hmmm) so there's a fun stuffz.

       Also, this last week I got an amazing surprise which is known as a BRAND NEW LANIKAI UKULELE (it came early!!!!)  So I'm back to jamming!  I can make jams!  I should make a jam jam... or a jelly jam... (I deeply apologize for that)... but anyway, I do have a few songs, and have full intention to possibly record them, if I get time in my school's studio (which is the best part of my school) or if I get a better microphone for my computer...  By the way, I'm a bit low on original song ideas (I got plenty of generic ones) so if anybody wants to leave me something they'd want to hear about accompanied by a ukulele...  you can comment now...  I might go to youtube someday...

(just thought about Trocker for no real reason, and now am very distracted...)

Music

Music is amazing, not saying I like all of it, that is definitely not true, but that as an element to life, music just plain sticks out. 
As you already know, I like ukeleles (when played in a more modern-like way), and I'm getting a new one soon, possibly next week! But, I certainly have a weird taste in music...
I like:
-Dramatic movie soundtracks (or any orchestrated music like that)
-Indie rock
-Classic rock
-some techno
-Marching band!
-and more
I do not tolerate most mainstream music, not because it's mainstream, but because it is almost always shallow.
The four themes of mainstream music arrrrrrrrrrrrrrre:
A. Sex!
B. Drugs and Money!
C. Passionate love/hate (which CAN be ok, but usually isnt with mainstream artists)
D. The World's on fire (Again, this is usually unspecific and just dull from mainstreamers)

Am I generalizing?  I'm sorry, I know there's more to some of it, but the good ones are so far and rare to find that I'd rather just go indie.
Now, I'm only talking about lyrics here, for music itself, I have put together the perfect band (according to me)  It's Got a Ukulele (duh), a Pipe organ (The best instrument when played modernly, but it has to be the big grand pipe organ, go look up Intervention, by Arcade Fire), Acoustic guitar or two (just not as much of a fan of electric guitars usually), a Cello(s) and viola (Yes please!) Drum set I guess, and a double bass (played or plucked, doesnt matter)...
if you DO find a band with all these, please send me the name and you will win a fabulous prize of some Dehydrated Water!  (You pay shipping)

Jam on!

It's true!

        I have those nagging little dreams.  The kind that come and go, but if chased, last for a long time.  Like the ukulele.  I totally picked it up on a whim and now I'm shelling out $60 to replace my broken one (which my older brother semi-repaired, but I want a new one anyways). 
      Recently I wanted to learn Esperanto. (a made up language that... ah whatever, you can look it up, its pretty cool).  That wish has died out somewhat, who knows if it'll come back?  For now, I dont have the time.  Also, I considered taking up track, though I'll admit that went away quickly (I can be lazy).
    Now I'm looking at youtube.  What it would be to be a youtube sensation!  A Neil Cicierga (potter puppet pals) or Charlie McDonnell (he's more popular in England, but I like his work) type of guy!  Oh man, I think I maay even possibly have the dry sense of humor, and I can play ukulele and sing (sorry Charlie, I didn't even know about you before I picked it up).  The key thing I'm missing is RESOURCES!!!
-No laptop of my own (yet, christmas is coming!)
-Digital camera records in uneditable format
-Poor editing program anyway
-Old digital camera has battery life of possibly 15 minutes
-Little brother thinks he can just stick his hand in whenever he wants
-More time!!!
Ah well, maybe when I go to college and get better at editing...
Hey I got my college apps in!  Yay!
-love you all

School blogging...

(put it to any melody)
Sittin' next to my friend Spo in class.

Gonna hopefully get an A, and pass.

Hope I don't get hit by a train.

That would cause suffering and pain.

Trocker is definitely the kinda girl for me.

It's really quite a fine boost to my reality.

La la la la la la la la la la laaaaaaaa

...umm... sheep... say...  baaaaaaaaaa

SPACKLE
(Awesome instrumental solo)

Dark day...

Actually, yesterday was the dark day.

Why?
...
..
..
.

I BROKE MY UKULELE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

PWITCHOW!!!!

and again I say PWITCHOW!!!!

PWITCHOW (pwih-chow) exclamation
A word which means "holy toast, what an awesome (noun)"

So yes I must PWITCHOW what life has been, because it has been awesome. 
...except chemistry class, but I'm getting a little better
BUT THAT'S BESIDE THE POINT!
I'll start with last night, where I went to a dance, but no normal crappy dance where people grind to awful, mainstream hip-hop. NO!  This was a SWING dance, where you actually have to know how to dance!  Oh yeah!  By the way, I went to this dance with some good friends of mine, one of which is a girl who I will call Trocker, because she really likes Timelord-Rock (Trock!), and because I really like her. But, we had a great time there, PLUS my birth-a-day (my 18th birthday) is tomorrow, which lands on the same day we're doing a big band concert, which I've decided I'm happy about because most of my friends are in band anyhow!  Plus there's a marching band thing (my last marching band thing... ever)
...
...
(perspective)
...
...
Well, anyway, Trocker's gonna be there since she's in the colorguard, and that's another perk, but that's all for tomorrow.
TONIGHT I'm hosting a settlers of Catan party (if you don't know what that is, it's a pretty fun board game...a bit like monopoly but BETTER!) which should be awesome if people remember to show up =)
 I'm just in a good mood today!  No school either, even though its a friday! (end of the term)

Everybody be HAPPY!!!!  YEAH!
love y'all
-M.B.easy
