I will get straight to the point:


COMPUTERS CAUSE AMNESIA


Care for me to elaborate? Okay.


I got on my laptop (aka lappy) today after my class. Now, when getting onto the computer I always have clear set intentions for what I want to do once on the computer. BUT once lappy is turned on, I FORGET!! I may be the only one, or maybe it’s due to my horribly crippling ADD, but once that screen lights up… I am a goner.


It’s like that plan of action is a piece of chocolate cake, gone as soon as it is presented in front of me. The only exception being that I do not eat ideas… if that was possible I believe I would be considered a much more intelligent person than I am at this particular moment.


Now here is what happens.
1. I open lappy
2. I pull up google
3. I check facebook
4. I find a cool quote for facebook
5. I check my friends blogs
6. I check my email
7. I check my other email
8. I check the weather
9. I stumble
10. I REALIZE THAT I FORGOT WHAT I WAS SUPPOSED TO BE DOING IN THE FIRST PLACE!!!


Then I sit thinking for a few minutes about what I was supposed to be doing. Then I give up and watch movies on Logan’s Netflix account.




Now this whole thing just happened to me. And what I am trying to comprehend is why my memory rots away in this situation daily. AND if this memory rotting has been happening multiple times a day since the day I first got lappy… how many brain cells slash memory cells (or whatever) have died in this process of daily rottage?


No wonder this country is full of morons. Prime example:

These stupid idiots.




















Now after blogging this I have realized what my intention was in the first place, to look at courses for next quarter. So before leaving to do that I shall provide you with this warning:


Set a goal before getting on your laptop about what you want to while on the computer. And remember this goal by ANY. MEANS. NECISSARY.


Its okay if you need to write it…..
1. On a post it
2. With alphabet soup
3. Painted on the wall
4. Cut into your friend’s forehead
5. With pixie stix
6. Or even in old chewed up gum


Just remember. Time wasted on the interwebs you can never get back….


With this I leave you with a short quote.


Give a person a fish and you feed them for a day; teach that person to use the Internet and they won't bother you for weeks






Oh! And these short videos.


Define the Internet

P.S. Someone needs to shoot the Twitter bird

Ill-advised Intro

Dear Reader,

I regret to inform you that the blog you are reading is extremely unpleasant.  It consists of scattered, morbid, and unusually rash facts that may or may not be true. From the first sentence to the last quote you will read of misery and woe.  I would suggest that you view another more uplifting blog about photography. But if you must read this then just know, you have been warned.

With all due respect,

Olivia

Fearful Facts

·      Chinese water torture was invented by a 16th century lawyer

·      Over 2500 left handed people are killed each year from using products made for right handed people

·      Dr. Alice Chase, who wrote ‘Nutrition for Health’, died of malnutrition

·      In Erwin, Tennessee an elephant was once hanged for murder

·      About 100 people choke to death on ballpoint pens each year

·      The British Society for Psychical Research claims that Athens, Ohio, is one of the most haunted places in the world

·      My freshman year dorm was haunted. A common disturbance was the "marble sound," which often occurs even on the top floor of the building: the sound of someone dropping hundreds of marbles onto the floor above you. 

·      A story with a more concrete basis in fact, freshman dorm Crawford Hall began to experience ghostly phenomena after the Easter 1993 death of Laura, a resident who fell from her fourth-floor window. Lights would flicker and doors would slam or open--especially on the first floor. One night an RA in a first-floor room was awakened at night by the silhouette of a girl who had opened his door. She said, "I'm sorry, I've woken you," and closed the door. The RA went into the hall but there was no one there. He later learned that his room's window faced the spot where Laura hit the sidewalk. CD and tape players there will refuse to play the Bob Marley song "Laura." 

·       The notorious RIDGES!! 

Now to leave you with a few Lemony Snicket quotes:

-People aren't either wicked or noble. They're like chef's salads, with good things and bad things chopped and mixed together in a vinaigrette of confusion and conflict

-Often times, when people are miserable, they will want to make other people miserable, too. But it never helps.

-It's hard for decent people to stay angry at someone who has burst into tears, which is why it is often a good idea to burst into tears if a decent person is yelling at you.

-Fate is like a strange unpopular restaurant
filled with odd waiters who bring you
things you never asked for and don’t always like

-At times the world may seem an unfriendly and sinister place, but believe that there is much more good in it than bad. All you have to do is look hard enough. And what might seem to be a series of unfortunate events may in fact be the first steps of a journey
