If I'm silly, then you're dangerously unbalanced.

So, I am one of those sick people who love commercials. You know, those pesky interruptions during your favorite television shows which you all claim to never watch? Yeah, those things. And by that I mean, I love only certain commercials. Some are just so hilarious, and/or inspiring that you can't help but laugh or swoon whenever you see them. So, in honor of those little vignettes that are life-altering, I've decided to post them on here. Enjoy them. Or don't. It's your choice.

As "dark and twisty" as this commercial is, I cannot help but laugh myself absolutely silly whenever I see it. I mean, those little cannibalistic children are so sweet and innocent looking, that you'd never expect it. And besides, what parent allows their kid to invite one of their friends over, just so they can eat them for desert? Yeah, it's great. I love this more than you could possibly know.


Not only do I adore Peyton Manning, but I love Mastercard commercials. It makes me want to break out and say things are "priceless" on a regular basis. And Peyton could not be funnier than he is here. I mean, who wouldn't love to go and do that in real life? Wow, amazing stuff.


So, this guy is probably one of the most unobservant people on the entire planet, and that is what makes it so great. His complete lack of tact and severely diminished social skills make this one of the best commercials. It will forever have me using the catchphrase "Hey, homeslice".


Don't get me wrong. I don't believe that if everyone in the world suddenly did nice things for each other that everything would be automatically perfect. I just really like this commercial not only because I love this song, but because I like the idea of doing nice things for others, just cause. Not out of obligation, but out of the goodness of their own hearts. [insert sappy sigh here].


This is by far one of the funniest commercials I have EVER seen. Granted, you have to be able to make fun of Germans and understand puns at the same time, but still. The greatness of this clip really cannot be measured. In fact, my mere words seem to be clouding it all right now. It's just that good. Oh, yeah.



Well, I guess that's all for today. I'm off to practice, which should prove to be very exciting and hopefully worthwhile today. I mean, one can only hope so much, right?

[edit]: Practice was a little less worthwhile than expected. Not only did I have one third of my girls not show, but the other coach didn't come, and it was just blah. So, there.

It's a very, very blustery day.

So, I absolutely adore windstorms.
There's just something about them, that really makes me happy.
I don't know if it's the constant chaos, or the lack of control.
Regardless, I feel amazing when it's happening.
I love sitting in my room, looking out my window, and just watching the trees bend and sway in ways that they could not do on their own.
There's just this awe that overwhelms me to witness something so powerful, yet completely invisible.
It leaves me speechless.
Well, as much as anything can really do.

If I could, I would erase it all...

So, I coach soccer at my old middle school. It's rewarding, and some days are absolutely amazing. Other days, it ends like this. Heartbreaking and wanting to scream from the inside out. So, two of my girls came up to me when I arrived, just to talk. And one of them had a small pencil that had been sharpened to within at inch of the eraser. The metal at the end had been bent so that it formed a point, sharp enough to cut. She told me that she took it away from one of her friends, because he was trying to cut himself in class. Luckily, he walked up to talk to us right then. I told him to show me his wrists, and he had two scratches from today, but no previous scars. He instantly got frightened, and begged with me not to tell his principal. I told him that I wouldn't for today, but that I would check in on him every day from now on. I promised him that if I ever saw anything more serious, I would tell someone immediately. I've never been so scared, and actively praying as I have today for this boy.

My heart sank like a rock. It's not like he's my own kid, but I really feel for these students at the school. They're just like any other people that just want someone to listen to them and pay attention every once and awhile. I'm so glad I can be there for them, but at the same time I'm scared as ever. I don't know if the decision I made is right, but it's the path I've chosen, and I can only pray that God will take care of the rest.

Wow, it felt really good to get that off my chest. See what I mean about blogs being the perfect listeners? Heavensent.

This is "random" at it's best. You think I'm kidding, huh?

Have I ever mentioned how much I love blogs?
I mean, it's like always having that one person who will listen to you whenever you have a problem.
And the best thing about it it, they never try to fix what's wrong.
They never give bad advice, or tell you you're being a loser.
They just listen, silently.
Ah, it's the perfect relationship.

And, moving on...
Last week at church, we started the book of Philippians.
Can I just say how excited I was for that?
It's not only one of my favorite books already, but I can tell it's also going to be an amazing series.
They're calling it "A Rebel's Guide To Joy", which is perfect in about a million ways.
Wow, I can't even wait.
I'm smiling right now just thinking about it.

I've been listening to the new Tegan and Sara songs lately.
I love them.
Regardless of what anyone else thinks about their music, I will still like it.
I enjoy being secure enough to stand my ground and appreciate good music.
If others don't like them, it's their own fault.
And they are severely missing out.
Seriously.



Also, for those of you who don't know, I'm not a huge Joel Osteen fan.
I've seen enough people come into Christian Supply and buy his book to know that I never want to get on that train.
While I would never slander his name (regardless of how false I think he is), I found this to be quite humorous.
Hope you enjoy too.



Well, I guess that's all for now.
Enjoy.
The end.
"...and then I found $5..."
