Something to Think About.

            Only 15 out of 100 people are left handed!  Do you write with your left hand?  How normal are you?  No matter what age you are, you’re classified as normal.  Did you know more kids take a car to school than they do bus?  Over 57% of kids said they haven’t read a digital E- book.  Is technology taking over as quickly as we think?  Peanut butter mixed with jelly is the most popular sandwich combination.  Like peanut butter and fluff?  I guess you’re not as normal as you thought. 

            You hear people saying a human swallows 4 spiders in their sleep over their lifetime.  This myth has just been busted!  There is no scientific study to prove how many spiders we swallow in our sleep.  Maybe you don’t swallow any, maybe you swallow 4, or maybe you swallow 15!  Sharks kill over hundreds of people each year?  Incorrect!  Sharks kill nowhere near hundreds of people in a year; they don’t even kill that many people in a decade!  Here are 10 things more likely to kill you than a shark!  Tornadoes, bees, tree climbing, venomous snakes, dogs, lawn mowers, lightning strikes, hunting, fireworks, and earthquakes.  Crazy isn't it?    

               Did you know there were once 15,000 languages spoken on earth?  Now there are only 7,000.  Weird but true!  In the 1890’s the Wright Brothers designed bicycles before they did airplanes.  Only about 300 million people lived on this planet about 2,000 years ago; that’s less than the population of the United States right now!  In 1911, the Mona Lisa only became popular when it was stolen 400 years after it was painted.  The original Mona Lisa was never popular itself; its stolen identity was what made it popular.   The first candy cane in the 1600’s had no stripes!  Weird!  I hope I could entertain you with all of these interesting things about our planet.  I hope you learned something you didn't know before reading this blog post.  If not, sorry to waste your time.  For the last post this year, until next time, goodbye readers!  Have a great summer!  

Time is Valuable

Time is valuable.  Stop waiting for things to happen.  Go out and live.  Stop waiting for Friday.  Stop waiting for summer.  Stop waiting for someone to fall in love with you.  When you wait for things to happen let’s just say there not going to happen, and when you wait for things you miss everything happening in-between.  Your prince charming is not going to just magically come falling at your feet while you're sitting at home watching episodes of Gossip Girl on Netflix.  You are never going to be happy if you just keep waiting.  Life is only so long and you don't want to have regrets while you're lying in a hospital bed dying.  You never know, today could be your last.

In the book Heaven is For Real Colton’s time was limited.  On earth his appendix ruptured and it had been poisoning his system for over five days.  No one knew if Colton was going to live or not.  He was only four.  Never take your time for granted.  Not only on earth is your time limited maybe your time is limited in heaven too.  Colton says he was only in heaven for three minutes.  Three minutes.  That’s it.  Three minutes to take it all in.  Jesus.  His sister who died in his mother’s stomach, the one who he never got a chance to meet.  All of the colors.  His uncle Pop.  The angles singing.  Three minutes. 

Readers, please never take your time for granted.  Stop waiting and go and live.  Live in the moment and stop thinking about what is next.  I know the phrase ‘YOLO’ is dumb and way overused but seriously you only live once.  If you do it right, once is enough.  So stop waiting, take a stand.  Be adventurous.  Follow your dreams.  Step out of your comfort zone.  Live with no regrets.  Life is only so long and you don’t want to have regrets while you’re lying in a hospital bed dying.  You never know, today could be your last.  So, stop reading this and go out and live.      

Waiting for Summer..

Well lately I have been overwhelmed.  So much stress.  So much work.  Not enough time.  I haven’t had enough time to read in a while therefor I have nothing to write about.  I’m not going to write about the book I’m reading because I haven’t read anything new.  Who wants to read the same things over again?  Probably not you, and anyways it’s a waste of my time to retype it.  So, excuse me while I try to entertain you in the next 3 paragraphs.  Or however long our blogs are supposed to be. 

Well we only have 24 days of school left.  My brain is to a point where it doesn’t really want to function anymore.  Just like the last day of school.  No thinking ever really goes on during the day of June 4^th.  So many things are running through my head and I just can’t seem to stay focused.  I think I am more focused on the fact in less than a month I’m going to be laying out poolside drinking lemonade.  For some reason the focus is no longer there.  Like when you’re having a conversation with someone then you get a notification on your phone.  Now you are no longer interested in what the person is saying.  You are interested in what is on your phone.  This is how my brain is functioning right now.  Wait more like not functioning.  Written especially for you readers, because I know you all have been dying to learn what is going on inside of Lauren Dalton’s brain.  But, with 24 days left of school I bet you are feeling the same way.
