Ahh...sometimes its nice to just sit back but then again you'll have to go back to the old grind anyway.
But what to talk about today. . .and the topic chosen at random happens to be -- WISHES yay!
So, you're walking along in the desert and you find a magic lamp. You think wow what a lucky break I've just gotten. You rub it. Nothing Happens. You rub it with your shirt. Still nothing happens. You then proceed to accidentally breathe in some sand that has gusted up. You sneeze and thy genie pops out asking for your three wishes. Not the way you thought it worked huh? Well, all lamps happen to be different-ish. Anyway, you proceed to make your first wish. You try and outsmart said Genie by wishing for unlimited wishes, and as you are about to wish this your mouth is closed and a giant roll of paper is in front of you explaining the clause of the "Genie Code" that says one is not aloud to make a wish pertaining to the amount of wishes. So as you stand there befuddled you figure hmm three wishes . . .
Well If I had three wishes I think I'd know what I'd want them to be. Well obviously I'd want the power to Stop Time. #2 Would be the ability to dance insanely well. # 3 would be give everyone the ability to breathe underwater. . . yea. Now you all know my reasons if you read my rant on clocks why the power to stop time is the single best super power ever. So let's move right on the the ability to dance insanely well. Ok, now the reason I wish I could dance really well would be to basically impress everyone. I think its amazing what some people, like the JabbawockeeZ for instance, can do with their bodies. Its positively nuts. It blows my minds how they can make their body do certain things. Also not only would dancing be able to help, well, my dancing ability, but it would also just give me something I can do for countless hours. I mean just any song comes on and BAM I instantly come up with a dance for it. It would also provide my body with the physical fitness it'd need because I mean honestly, I play volleyball and that's not quite enough I'd say. I don't know. I believe the power to dance very well is very underrated as well. I mean you don't really see many people who can just go around and dance very very well to any song ever. As for wish 3, well I think being able to breathe underwater would solve many problems. We can create cities underwater and other types of food would become much more accessible and therefore cheaper. Humans would be able to continue their exponential growth with no carrying capacity in sight. RULERS OF LAND AND SEA. It would also allow much of the earth's oxygen to restore for a while. If not as many people are on the surface more oxygen can be created rather than used since the people underwater will be able to dislodge the Hydrogen atoms from the Oxygen in water in order to respirate.
Sadly these things are only wishes and will most likely not come true. If they were to come true that'd be a bit ridiculous. Awesome, but ridiculous. Wishes are a lot like hopes that less likely to come true. I mean honestly what last birthday wish did you have that came true? and not some crappy wish I mean like a wish that you didn't think would happen but had a chance. Yea, exactly. Not one. Sad, but what are ya gonna do? So we have to realize that what we have now is precious. We should be thankful that we even have a roof over our head. If you don't have a roof over your head right now then I don't know why you spent your money on a computer rather than some type of roof. Anyway, be grateful for today and hope for tomorrow for what we have now and what we will have are two very different things :-)

Ice Cream
That's right I'll see what I creative nonsense I can come up with the random item of Ice Cream. Alright well lets just start by saying that Cold Stone probably has the best Ice Cream ever. Many people I know say Cold Stone is not good; however, I believe they are misled on the grounds that since Cold Stone is corporate it can not be good. for instance McDonalds. . . now that tastes bad (even though I guess I really wouldn't know anymore since I haven't had it in over 3 and 1/2 years.) Anyway Corporate does not always mean bad. Hell, it usually means something is good because if said thing has enough success to become corporate and stay corporate they must have something good going for them. Again the example is McDonalds. . . I mean someone has have cheap food for us to feed the homeless people of Chicago among other cities with right? Ok Ice cream. . .
What Kind of Person Are You?
I'm an avid internet-er and I often see quizzes on numerous sites saying which Ice Cream flavor are you? See now to me this makes absolutely no sense. I do the quiz. I turn out to be Vanilla. Bland. Boring. Old News. . .Awesome I'm so glad I took a quiz to berate me. This is the best moment of my life. I've been told by a preset quiz basically that I suck at life. I like to believe that this is totally inaccurate. I mean you can't seriously judge a person by what flavor Ice Cream they like or I guess are. There's a limited number of flavors and I'm pretty sure when you get down to the knitty-gritty there is pretty much an infinite amount of types of people. So I thank you Ice Cream for being able to define everyone in the entire world. In my field research of linking Ice Cream to personality that I've spent countless hours on, I've found that many people like the main chocolate, strawberry, and vanilla, while the rest of the population hovers around many other more obscure flavors. I've also found that it the whole experiment is total BS! Ice Cream can't decide who you are for many reasons. #1 There is no connection between taste buds and personality. #2 It is very possible for vanilla-likers and chocolate-likers to get along and maybe even find a middle ground with a twist. There is no # 3. #4 , though, is that people who actually pay attention to said quizzes are basically just dumb. . .very very dumb. . .
Pure Ice Cream
You know maybe I should get away from the metaphors for a change. I think I'll just go with describing an Ice Cream experience. As I pull up to the Cold Stone Creamery I notice that it is nicely lit and well decorated. It's the kind of place that just lights up my stomach and readies me to savor that $5 bowl of ice cream. Yea it may be a tad expensive however it is worth it. I come on a friday and so it is crowded. Very Crowded. So Crowded I may need to get the tent out of my car trunk because I will be here a while (Boy scout's motto is be prepared, hence the tent). After the timeless time in line I Find mine place in front of a freezing pane of glass looking into the wonderland that is my decision to pick a flavor of ice cream. I look to the right and see different arrays of vanillas and chocolates. I look to the center to find slightly different flavors such as pistachio, and then it jumps out at me. I see the one I shall choose for this particular bowl of magnificence. Cake Batter ice cream. awwww yea. I knew it was fate that I must get it. . .and I just get it everytime because it is quite amazing. I ask the person behind the counter for a bowl of this delicious cake batter ice cream. They then ask, "what would you like to mix with it?". I look further to my left to find one long row maybe forty, nay, fifty jars of assorted candies and cookies and other goodies to mix in with my cake batter deliciousness. After holding up the already long line I pick Oreos and Caramel (spelling? However it is spelled...its pronounced Car-muhl). The Person crushes the oreos and drips the caramel on and there happens to be a water spot under me. I alert the person," Ma'am maybe you should put a sign that says caution wet right here". She then replies,"Sir, maybe if you'd stop drooling there wouldn't BE a wet spot." I apparently had somewhat of a waterfall coming out of my mouth. Well long story short I got my ice cream and it was quite delicious. My time, tent, and $5 dollars were spent very well.
Well I believe my time is up and I'm done with todays rant however feel free to do any of the following. A)Email me with suggestions on what to write about. B) Click that banner at the bottom. C) comment on what of you have just read or other entries. Or any combination of the above would be greatly appreciated. Thanks again for reading some of Titus's Time.

Sleep
Sleeping is probably one of my favorite times of the day, and no my life isn't that depressing. It's just so relaxing I mean how can you not like sleep. Not to mention there is that whole thing with dreaming, and I love dreaming. You can come up with a world completely made up by you. As in even the laws of physics don't have to apply. They become (insert name here)-ics and it can get quite interesting where your mind wanders. Anyway Sleeping...even just getting ready for sleep is fun I mean its like a very short hibernation...minus all of the stuffing your self full of foods with fat among other things into your body because your body can last 8 hours without food. Sleep is also good for just thinking things over. I mean how many times have you heard the phrase I'll sleep on it? That essentially means when you wake up you'll be able to think about it on a clear mind. I mean come on even the clothes you sleep in are probably the most comfortable thing you wear basically ever.
Teenagers are odd creatures. They have some of the oddest sleep patterns and I'm no stranger to them. They go from waking up at 6:30am and going to bed around 11pm on weekdays to totally changing and waking up around 1pm and going to bed maybe around 4am. Wait did I see a letter switch there? yea. . .I did. am<->pm to pm<->am. Interesting. I always try and make it a point to wake up before 10:30 on weekends just because you lose so much day if you wake up past about that time. I mean you've already missed breakfast and you still have to shower and all that stuff before you can even eat. So you end up having lunch for breakfast and then you're dinner becomes lunch, but then your day ends there so you have no time for real dinner. Unless of course there is the late night meal, like after you've been killing zombies playing Left 4 Dead until 3am and you realize your pretty hungry so you head to your nearest fast food place. YAY DINNER. So back to sleep and teenagers. The unique relationship we have here between these two is delicate. Its kind of like a long distance relationship...that sucks...I mean you have the one person thats home that wants to stay home and reminded very little by little that oh yeah you have something to do. Eventually after putting it off long enough the teenager gives up and gives in to sleep and then doesn't really want to leave ever. So it turns out to be a booty call because then the teenager has to get up and repeats the process of waiting as long as possible. I also like to call it a beddy call. . .yea that joke sucked and I'm aware.
Just a touch back to dream world
This is seriously my favorite part about sleeping so I HAD to touch back on it. I mean its just the coolest thing in the world. Your fantasies of any type come to life. You can give yourself 19 arms to do a bunch of different tasks or just go flying around at your leisure to wherever you want. I mean one moment I'm riding a big wheel in a movie theater and the next I get sucked into the movie and play it out how I see fit. The only bad thing about dreams is when you forget you can do anything you want so you want one thing to happen however in the real world you know that that can't happen so it stays that way. And then you're disappointed and so is everyone else in the dream and you're most likely embarrassed. . .on your own turf (your head) ouch man. So the whole remembering you can do whatever you want is kind of important.
BEFORE you go to sleep.
I like this time as well. It gives me time to reflect on my entire day. Whether I'm thinking about a girl (oh shut up I'm freakin 17) or a class I'm doing terribly in or what I will do the next day, it doesn't matter I just always think. Thinking is one of my past times. . .and I hope it's many people's past times, but I mean there are people on the football team I'm not so sure about. Anyway this is my time to figure out any problems I am having and how I can right them. For instance, I have a project due the next day 7th period. So what do I do? Well concerning my laziness I think of how I can do it during the day at school and what I'll need to bring in order to finish it and what periods I'll be able to do some of the bigger parts of the project. Let's say I'm having a problem with a friend or something. I can take this time before I go to sleep to word out something in order to apologize or get him/her to apologize. And of course you have to over-analyze every single detail about it and come up with an answer for any question they may have.
Well, I believe it is time to go. Please don't be afraid to email me at Titus409@yahoo.com with a suggestion for something to talk about. Also please check out that banner down there at the bottom of the page...interesting stuff. Anyway I bid you adieu and will be back soon enough to bring you some more Titus Time :)
