What seems at first to be a cute, hopeful picture, is soon realized to be a dark, cruel one. No matter how long the turtle hangs onto the balloons, they will pop as soon as it touches the limits of the atmosphere. And even if balloons could go through the atmosphere, there is no air in space. The turtle’s shell will be crushed by the impact of letting go. And then you realize turtles do not have opposable thumbs. The question for the turtle becomes, when should I let go?
What an evil picture…

After getting coffee spilled onto my laptop, breaking the screen on my iPhone, dropping things, and cracking things over the course of this very accidentally challenged semester, I realized that being broken is the saddest thing that could ever happen to you.
As I sat there pushing the power button that did not power my laptop, and the unlock button that did not unlock my phone, I realized just how useless these expensive pieces of technology were without the function they were made to have. It’s like a NFL player with a torn ACL or an Olympic swimmer with a torn rotator cuff.
When we lose sight of the things we were meant, created to do, everything seems helpless and useless. But then we realize, the only solution is to find meaning and purpose in that which you cannot lose.
During Servant’s retreat, the pastor claimed that the implication of atheism is that humans are worth no more than a single grain of sand in the desert. He also stated that there seems a disparity between what they believe and how they live their life like it matters.
There seems to be something greater, no?
Because of the way the eye works, we are physically unable to see certain colors, like a yellowish blue or a reddish green. These colors do exist, but because we perceive color in a way that only allows us to see one of those colors at a time, we cannot see them as one. See this wiki article for more details.
But that got me thinking. Knowing how eyes work, it almost seems like pure arrogance to say that those colors don’t exist and are unable to exist. However, without knowing how visual perception works, it’s quite easy to assume that they don’t.
This directly correlates with transcendentalism, which states that there is more to life than what you can perceive with your senses. This correlates with God. Obviously, just because you are unable to perceive everything, it doesn’t mean anything can exist.
But I think there are many things we just aren’t able to see, touch, hear, taste, or smell that you can just know in your heart to be true, and God is most certainly one of those things.
I like this photo because that orange fish, without his or her school, will most certainly die, as opposed to possibly die. Orange fish wins the darwin awards.

All time low after the econ test. Never have I felt so lost… or empty inside. Empty, empty failure is me ):

Losing my macbook for even two weeks makes me realize how precious my computer is and all the data on it and how much I actually depend on it. It’s scary how much I depend on it.
