Next time my blog post will be about extra dessert

Today is Wednesday everyone, and I am coming out from under a shadow leftover from yesterday, when I made the wrong choice in a restaurant.  As you can probably guess, the choice was that I ordered a salad.  Well all I can do is learn from it and next time when I go to the restaurant, maybe I can say in a loud voice, "I accidentally ordered a salad last time," and what can that mean but a free order of chicken fingers.

A little exercise

Well everyone, I just took a little walk, and it turns out that Starbucks and McDonalds have planted themselves right in the middle of my exercise route, so I will need to figure out what to do besides avoiding the route sometimes by staying home and ordering pizza.

What if it turns out that the mice are the landlords

Hi everyone, I think people would probably like an update on the mouse situation in my apartment and though I don't think I should say everything about it, I will say that the mice in my apartment do eat whole packages of cookies.

My life is so much like Nintendo that I am literally playing Nintendo

You know what everyone, I don't want every blog post on this blog to be about playing Nintendo, but I have been playing Nintendo quite a lot and feeling very happy about it and thinking about how all along my whole life when I would reflect on things philosophically and think about or maybe just hope that life really is like Super Mario Brothers I was really right about it.  I mean it is just so true that there are coins that you get in life and piranha plants and most of all, stars when you hit your head against bricks.

The End of Tax Season

Today is Easter, so I need to do my taxes, but what I really want to do is play Nintendo.  And I think they should make software that lets you do your taxes by playing a Nintendo game.  It could be like Super Mario, and all you do is enter your social security number and play a game and if you get a mushroom then you get a big refund and if the flames hit you then you don't get as much of a refund.  And when the gold coins fall out of the sky and land on you, then you also get real gold coins in your bank account. I think that if they did this, more people would do their taxes.  In fact, people would want to do their taxes all the time.  And I know that some people think that Easter is not for taxes or Nintendo but really if Easter means no more death then doesn't it also probably mean no more taxes?

It doesn't mean I am some kind of hero, everyone.

Hi everyone, yeah, I was scared this week because of two new volunteer projects that I did not know if I could do and it turns out that yeah I can put grapes in a bag and scoop some beans and rice and even slice a potato with some help and support.  I was not trusted with the plastic wrap, but I could learn that next time.  I got three free cupcakes at one project, and there is a volunteer party I am going to on Saturday.  At home I was worried because of a terrible mice situation but things are almost back to normal and I am sleeping in my room again after a few days being on the air mattress with mice right in front of my face at night. And I cleaned the guinea pig cages and rearranged them so they can all socialize. And what have we learned.  Well I do not know but I think it is something religious.

Not enough baskets for the ducks and chickens

Well everyone, I was hoping that the NCAA championship would be Oregon vs. South Carolina, but both teams lost, so that leaves me to wrestle with existential questions about what is truly meaningful in the world.  And I have concluded that a lot of things in life still matter a lot, but that my favorite basketball teams did not win this time.  And I think one of the reasons people can't go back in time is because people would not know whether to go back in time and win a basketball game or go back in time and attend a different school so your team would be the winning team 20 years later.  And if you did go back in time and attend a different school, wouldn't that really still make you a true fan of your old school because that's how disappointed you were that your team lost? Another question I am wrestling with is what if you scored the final four points in the final four seconds of a final four game. Well my teams do not know the answer to that and that is why we lost. I guess what I am saying is that I wish I had gone to Gonzaga University for college. They might have had a philosophy course that would have helped me understand all this.
