If you were given a ten minute warning and had to evacuate your house, never being able to return again, what would you take with you? To make it more difficult, limit yourself to what you can fit in one bag or carry in your arms.
What I would take:
The first things I would grab would be the priceless or irreplaceable ones. I would take all of the money I have in my house, my stuffed rabbit, my collectable Johnny Depp DVDs, VHSs, and magazines, and I would grab my diaries, scrapbooks, thumbdrive, and if I had time I would back everything from my computer up onto that thumbdrive.
I hope I never have to leave my house in a rush. There are too many things I would have too leave behind.

Never Worry About Tomorrow
An Angel says, 'Never borrow from the future. If you worry about what may happen tomorrow and it doesn't happen, you have worried in vain. Even if it does happen, you have to worry twice.'

July 2011: Money Bags
Calendar for July 2011 (United States)
July | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
Isn't is ironic that the month with the most amount of days that you will be off from work (and not making any money), is called MONEY bags?
This year, July has 5 Fridays, 5 Saturdays and 5 Sundays (that is a lot of weekends!). This happens once every few years! This is called money bags, based on Chinese
Feng Shui.

Check Out My Other Blogs!!!
If you like this blog, you will probably at least be able to stand my other two. I have one dedicated to Johnny Depp: deppthperception.tumblr.com, and one for random pictures, GIFs, etc: operationprocrastinationblog.tumblr.com.
These are much shorter reads than what I have hear, and you do not need a Tumblr account to visit, (but getting one lets you reblog and join in on the fun).

Paraprosdokian Sentences
Paraprosdokian Sentences: A paraprosdokian is a figure of speech in which the latter part of a sentence or phrase is surprising or unexpected in a way that causes the reader or listener to reframe or reinterpret the first part. It is frequently used for humorous or dramatic effect.
Here are some examples that made me smile:

What I Learned In High School
I decided to take a moment to evaluate what I have gotten out of the years at high school. I came to the following conclusions all on my own, with no grade on the line or due date with which to contend:
· The Odyssey is an odyssey to read.
· You have to do a lot more than simply SIT to pass the SATs.
· The “mile” is just a suggestion. Three out of four laps are sufficient in most cases.
· Chemistry class is surprisingly not a dating service.
· There is absolutely nothing great about Great Expectations.
· Every teacher who failed me was out to get me, so it was not my fault.
· How to Kill a Mockingbird is not an instruction manual on how to slay a song bird.
· They will try to pass anything in the cafeteria off as food.
· Hamlet is not a play about one of the three little pigs.
I am still trying to figure out what gets into people to make them decide to willing return to high school as teachers, but no one has cracked that case yet.
