Sad State of Our Union

Wow. Pathetic, right down to the expression on the model's face. 

Nice, Michelle. Actually, it's not so much what she's doing so much as the fact that Yahoo is making sneakiness sound appealing. Very sad. Very sad, indeed.

Our country is truly pitiful when these are the headlines on Yahoo. Promoting laziness, cheating employers out of valuable company time and encouraging bad habits? THEN GLAMOURIZING IT? We suck as a nation. Truly.

XOXO,

Living Life on the Trampoline

Some people like to live life on the dark side, some people like to live in the fast lane, but I prefer to live life on the trampoline. :]

THAT WOMAN CAN JUMP, PEOPLE. 

Well, I was jumping on the trampoline today contemplating life's great mysteries ( which mainly consist of "What is a hernia?" and "Oh crap, that doesn't feel normal! I think I have one!") when I stumbled upon a startling fact - The answer isn't always 42! (Nerd references ftw. 10,000 coolness points if you know where that's from. )
So, while I was thinking these deep thoughts and exploring the deepest corners of the universe with my mind (I can bi-locate! How cool is that?), it started to rain.
See?

Pretty. :)

And then my deepness was gone and I was overwhelmed by an urge to start dancing barefoot and singing old showtunes...No, I don't claim to understand how my mind works. Off to google hernias!

XOXO,

Marbear

P.S. Enjoy this while I'm gone. I bet I'm the only blogger who posts pictures of squirrels eating peanut butter. So there. :]

NOMNOMS. :)

Introducing Me...

Once upon a time I was a twelve year old girl obsessed with the Jonas Bros. (No! Stop running away and throwing pens at me! That hurts!) Anyway, in the second Camp Rock movie (hey, admit it, they were pretty cute! No? You’re kicking me out of the club? Rats!) Nick Jonas (he had a different name in the movie, which I refuse to look up, haha) wrote a song for a girl entitled “Introducing Me.” This song was (and remains) on my list of “100 Songs I Want At My Wedding.” It is possibly the cheesiest, cutest thing ever. (Seriously, if this song would be a food, it would be a vat of spicy nacho cheese with extra cheddar. Can’t get more cheesy than that!)

Anyway, the reason why it’s so cute is the fact that Nick wasn’t afraid to say the things that made him unique, even if he sounded weird. SO, I (following in the footsteps of Nick, life the clean-cut cookie cutter kid that I am, spoon-fed on Martha Stewart, Disney and Emily Post [can I get a standing ovation for sarcasm here, people?]) have decided to introduce myself in a way that is a) brutally honest and b) right now. My reasons for this are thus: (ha! That sort of rhythms!) If I don’t introduce myself, there will be a bunch of creepy strangers reading my blog. If I DO introduce myself, there will be a bunch of creepy strangers who now know LOADS of potentially dangerous information about myself reading my blog. Yay!

So, without further ado:

1.       I’m nerdy. I like to think that I am endearingly so, but I’m pretty sure most people classify it as annoying. I just generally like school

2.       I’m frightfully social. I would die without people and my confidence levels are usually dangerously high. I’m known to strike up many the conversation with complete strangers.

3.       I like to consider myself “fiercely creative.” It’s my favorite phrase to describe myself. Conceited much? Maybe. But I’ve been told this by a plethora of other humanoids, so perhaps I’m not so far off target…

4.       Strongly independent = Me! I’m a leader and I generally dislike being told what to do. As I result, I’ve developed an annoying habit of bossiness.

5.       I’m girly . And a little ditzy, sometimes. (Also mildly insane, but we don’t need to go there.)

I love God, my family, my friends, my school, my house, my dog and the whole wide world in general. I’m not afraid to say so. :]

XOXO,

Marbear

Why I started a blog

8th grade year I had a blog, primarily to rant about how much I hated the assigned reading. It was called "Splash of Color in a Gray World." (I fancied myself to be deep and poetic.)
Freshman year I had a blog, primarily to post braggingly about how much fun I was having in biology. It was called "Life's a Bowl of Explosive Cherries." (I was a weird kid, don't even ask. There were lots of posts about cow brains. IDK)
Anyway, I'm a sophomore now and it's about time I start up a new one. I'm already working on a joint blog with a friend of mine called the gilmoreendeavour.blogspot.com, but I  needed one just to post my random ramblings/thoughts. :)
So, timemachinebabe.blogspot.com was born. I'm titling it "Adventures of Marbear" because I like that title. Yes, I have the logic of a six year old. :) I'll post later when I'm not being harassed for the computer. Lots of love!
XOXO,
Mary
