COLORISM: A GROWING EPIDEMIC. DON'T HATE!!!

I've been staring at a blank computer screen for an hour. Okay, it's been 20 minutes. Okay, it's been five. But I still can't think of much to write about. My life is so BORING. This could be accounted for by the fact that I am currently grounded. Being held hostage is a better term to describe the punishment which I am enduring. My mom seriously has me on lock down. Is that even legal? Well, I guess I deserved to be punished for "physically assaulting" my little sister. Yeah, all I did was scratch her. But whatever.

Did you know that a Goldfish has a memory span of only 3 seconds?! I was positively SHOCKED to discover this.. I used to have a pet Goldfish (named Goldy, of course) and it deeply saddens me to know that she didn't even know who I was! At age five, she was totally my BFF! I mean, I thought we were tight!

Another random fact that you will forget as fast as a goldfish would: If the population of China walked past you in single file, the line would be endless due to their incredibly fast rate of reproduction. WOW, those Chinese have really got it down! They're breeding like rabbits!

OKAY, time for a rant! You know what totally pisses me off? ORANGE. Why does orange get so much attention. I mean, everyone is always like, "Oh, nothing rhymes with Orange! Let's all feel sad for Orange!" Well, guess what! Nothing rhymes with silver or purple either! It's discrimination! Spread the love, people!!!!

That was a quickie rant. Quicker than the Chinese.

You know what really gets me going? Gets my wheels turning, I mean? Conspiracy theories.. Like the fact that if you line up a hexagon with the pyramid on a dollar bill the 6 points of the star fall directly on the letters: M A S O N. Like, the Masons... I hope you get it. If you don't know what the Masons are, I'm truly ashamed. Read The Lost Symbol by Dan Brown. Or Google it. Another favorite of mine is the fact that in the 46th psalm of the King James Version of the Bible, the 46th word from the beginning is Shake and the 46th word from the end is Spear. Shakespeare was 46 years old at the time. CREEPY, huh!

Did you know that Dr. Seuss invented the word "nerd"?

Enough already! Okay, I'm done.. Sorry, this is what happens when I am bored out of my mind. I start rambling. My friends call it "spewing facts", and I do it often. Part of this is due to the fact that I am a self-proclaimed mnemonist. This means that I have an exceptional memory when it comes to things like facts, numbers, data sets, grammar, and yes, spelling. My memory is far from photographic, but it does suffice. I have actually undergone some neurological testing on the matter, and my memory is definitely above par. No one really knows why certain people have a more enhanced memory than others. Some say people are born with memory abilities, but others argue that it is all in methods of memorization developed in early childhood and adolescence. So, there you have it folks! I'll give you one memory trick- and this has helped me through a lot of sticky situations- repeat, repeat, repeat. Read the facts, repeat the facts, and keep repeating them until it's imprinted in your mind. Then, connect the facts to something in your life. Really think about them for a few minutes. If you come up with a good enough connection, you'll never forget it! When you want to remember the fact, you'll instantly remember the connection you drew.

Okay, now, last thing's last. I want to welcome any QUESTIONS to the floor. Please ask anything you like- about me, about the blog, about anything- in the form of a comment! In my next post, I will do a response to readers, and answer some Q & A. Thanks, guys!

Alright, well, that's all I suppose!
