5 things

Every now and then the internet does turn up to have something good. This comes from a pretty good site called 43folders. It is about organization, and is named after a part of David Allen's Getting Things Done program. This though, is the authors site with lists of 5 things. http://www.5ives.com/

The one that made me totally laugh outloud was the fifth in his list of Five requests with regard to my eventual death, the last one threw me out of my chair:

1. If it happens that my death occurred in some public place, there is to be no ersatz memorial created on that location comprised of teddy bears, mylar balloons, or terrible poems written on posterboard in pink Magic Marker™. This is very, very important.
2. If you choose to have any kind of service “memorializing” me, there will be no use of the phrase “looking down on us.”
3. At no time is any outraged friend or family member to appear in public looking indignant and holding up a framed photograph of me.
4. If you refer to anything I’ve ever done as “brave,” “courageous,” or “special,” I will personally come back from the grave and shit angry ghost turds in your coffee pot.
5. If the resources exist and the weather is fine, I’d prefer to have my remains torn asunder by vicious dogs while “Tusk” is performed by an enthusiastic high school marching band.

I personally have fairly similar feelings about a lot of it. While I believe that I might be "looking down" I think it is somewhat cheezy, and I pretty purely agree with the other 4, including the last one.

Where did we come from

Today, for some reason, sitting with the dogs, my mind wandered to this place it doesn't go very often, and I try not to go to often. I am very much a Christian. But I try to also be open minded and see things from others points of view too. And one place that neither Christian's or aethiests have any explination. If God (of any religion, not just Muslim-Judeo-Christian) put us here, where did he/she/it come from? If the scientific explinations are true, and there was a big bang, and bam, stuff started happening, where did that initial stuff come from.

Doesn't everybody think about this? If so, why don't people talk about it more. If not, why doesn't everybody think about it.

Wasting time again

Again I have a paper to work on, and more importantly a few case's to analyse, and I'm doing other stuff...

This seemed to be fairly accurate, but I think one thing about this is my current state exaggerates how I usually am. I am more stressed right now that I have been in the past, and I tried to answer the questions in this quiz with the current in mind:

Stability results were low which suggests you are very worrying, insecure, emotional, and anxious.

Orderliness results were moderately low which suggests you are, at times, overly flexible, improvised, and fun seeking at the expense of reliability, work ethic, and long term accomplishment.

Extraversion results were medium which suggests you are moderately talkative, outgoing, sociable and interacting.


Just two more weeks of class, then 3 exams, then I'm done for the semseter....

I guess I'm stalling

I'm in the NCSU library with my laptop, hoping to make some progress on my Business Communication final paper. In reality I've got little more than a page done. As usual, I'm struggling to focus. I'm more interested in reading stuff on the web, looking at what people are doing around me, etc. But this semester is almost over. Just about 4 more weeks.
