"Coke is better than Pepsi."
This quote grabbed my attention because I definately perfer coke over pepsi. It has a stronger taste then Pepsi. My mom and I fight over this all the time because she likes to buy Pepsi. It was even worse when she got into the kick of diet Pepsi. Talk about disgusting and just as bad for you because of the artifical sugar is practically aspartame. Aspartame is the same thing found in formeldahyde. Do we really want that in our bodies? Well, each to their own. Check out this article below. It is quite interesting!
Coke Versus Pepsi Article
"75 million comedians in the world and you're telling jokes."
This really made me laugh. It was a joke all on its own. I will definately be using this on my friends and co-workers. Specially my co-workers. Sometimes at work we all can get craby because the job his high pace and customer based. When people are getting stressed or upset at work I like to tell corny jokes to get a bare minimum of a smile. Some jokes I come up with on my own or I tell clean laffy taffy jokes. In addition, at the end of a busy work week I like to bring in laffy taffy for my employees. It kind of puts everyone in a better mood. We all share our jokes on our laffy taffy.
One of my rescent jokes is:
(Q)Why do sword fish have a nose that is 11 inches?
(A) If it were 12 inches, it would be a foot!
"Take one pill and all your homework will be done."
If only it actually worked this way. Procrastination is definatly a fight between the body and mind. Sometimes, its hard to do what we have to do. Many times I ask myself, am I overwhelmed with the load of things I must do? Sometimes this is true; other times, I just need to force myself to do what I don't wish to do. Below here is an article I really enjoyed, and I think many of you will too.
10 ways to make laziness work for you
"We wish we sounded like we sound inside ourselfs"
I completly agree. When i was younger I had a sist in my nose that made my voice sound very nasely. However, I didn't become aware of this until I heard my self on an awnsering machine. It made me very self consious. I wish I had never heard the awnsering machine so I could pretend I sounded the way I had always thought I sounded. Check out the article below that talks about why we sound different!
Why do we sound different?
"The device you carry around with you, atleast in the academic world is important."
I think this statement you made is correct; however, I wish it were not true. Growing up is difficult enough with all the other status quos. It's not the easiest to fit in. You need the right clothes, the right last name, the right car, the right friends, and the right boyfriend/girlfriend. As if this was not enough pressure but, now devices too. I saw this all happening before my eyes. It started in middle school, who ever had the fastest internet had the friends over at their place. Now it is not just internet speed but, what kind of cell phone you own. It's sad that status quos exsist but, it is part of life. We are only human.
"Most of you will be going to work for the internet."
I understand the point Rob Larson was trying to make. Technology is huge. I, myself use it all day, everyday. Heck, I am using it right now to publish this blog. However, I find it hard to beileve we will all go to work for the internet. I have hard time thinking that we could possibly create anymore online jobs. I am not saying Rob Larson is incorrect. I mean, I am sure no one a hundred years ago expected the technology of a cell phone. Rob Larson, may in fact be right. Here is part of an essay, I find to be related to this quote and that is very interesting. Click Me!
