Opposite day.

According to Wikipedia, "Opposite day is a word game where speech is modified so that meaning is inverted. Once Opposite Day is declared, statements mean the opposite of what they usually mean. Usually, a person would say, "After this phrase is over, it will be officially opposite day," and then Opposite Day will be officially started."


But it has been proven that opposite day can be also used for actions.
Example: Instead of slapping someone else, you slap yourself!

There are some problems with opposite day. You could just slap yourself, or you could totally over think it and go, hmm... Lets see, what is the opposite of: Slap. Hhh..   hug...   Em..   Embrace! So I must have to embrace myself.. but... its opposite day.. so I should... slap my friends hug? Wait.. No.. his.. brothers aunt!

We all are, Timmy.


To avoid confusion while playing the opposite game, it is advised that you don't think about it too much. You should it simple and go with your gut reaction. 



It can also sometimes be fun to imagine opposites. Example:


instead of pulling the pin,

  

And throwing the grenade...

You could pull the grenade,

And throw the pin!

You could imagine the rest.




Try out opposite day yourself! (don't do anything dangerous.. obviously.)


But wait! Before you go:

The sentence "Today is opposite day" is in fact a paradox. Don't think about it too much or it may create a black whole in your mind. Destroying it.

I2k 2.

OK, I know we've already written a post about our internet provider - i2k. But we needed to revisit this one because its actually gotten WORSE!

I don't know what they have done to it, but now, a webpage will rarely even LOAD. How do we get around this? Refresh the page.. refresh the page... refresh the page.... OK, half of it loaded... refresh the page... refresh the page.. THERE WE GO!

This makes internet surfing more like trying to punch through a brick wall.


Less like this:

and more like this:

These days, our internet is literally worse than dial up.

I don't know how thats possible in this day and age. But its a fact.

We have been concocting tons of plans to get legit internet.

We have called cable company's, phone company's, and even considered buying internet form someone we like to call.. Butt crack blare. Why? Hes a creepy hillbilly with a plummer crack.

And apparently, our internet stinks so bad because he complained to the city about i2k's internet towers because they where interfering with his or something... So they had to take one of them down. The main one.

So, no way were giving butt crack blare our money.

I actually think we might buy a business circuit from the phone company (That's $600 a month) and start our own.. basically.. internet company.. We would get all of our neighbors to pay us something like $70 a month and we would send the internet over to their house too.

it would be a lot of work and be pricy, but it would be really fast!

Hopefully something works out.

Thanks people!

The Difference Between a Diary and a Journal.

“What’s the difference between a journal and a diary?
A diary is a report of what happened during the day—where you ate, who you met, the details leading up to the kerfluffle in the office, and who took whose side. It’s a bit like a newspaper about you.


A journal is completely different. A journal is about examining your life. It’s a GPS system for your spirit. “I’ve made this mistake before. . . and I always make it when I rushed for time and feel panicky. But I feel panicky because I know I’m headed for the same mistake.” Journals lead to insight, growth, and sometimes, achieving a goal.

(Thank you, http://quinncreative.wordpress.com/)


These days, people seem to think that the only people that have diary's are tween girls and their little brother.

But back in the day, it was normal for a fancy person to have a journal or diary.




I tried making my own Journal when I was 11 after I read "Diary of a Wimpy Kid"
Here is the first page:

Yeah, don't worry. My handwriting has greatly improved since then. And my dork levels have also gone down.. Or have they?...

Jumping over stuff.

Post #50. Yay!


My friends and I like to dabble in the art of jumping over large objects.
This includes tables, chairs, boxes, trash cans, sticks, little people, etc. We take it all as a kind of manly challenge. Are you man enough to jump over that chair? We ask each other.

Whenever I fail to jump over an object, I always seem to fail before I even reach it. Aka, I trip and smash into it. The other day this happened. We where trying to jump over a bench length wise. I ran as hard and as fast as I could, RUN RUN RUN TRIP FLY THROUGH THE AIR LAND ON BENCH ROLL ROLL ROLL BACK FLIP LAND ON BACK. "I'm OK!" And I really was.. considering how catastrophic the failure was.


Later that day we decided to push ourselves to the MAX. We went into the gym at my church, grabbed a trash can and some safety mats. We put the trash can upside down and the mats behind it. Then, we put a basketball on top of the trash can for extra challenge. The total height was a little under 4 feet. Challenge accepted.

Surprisingly, we made it! Later we decided to add even MORE challenge by adding a small table after the trash can.. And we also made it!



Yeap, we're jumping masters.
