I am fryin'...how about you?

Well, I have been outside all day long teaching the lovely NEXT Generation, and I am totally fried. Well, maybe baked is a better description. I am starting to believe in the whole global warming bit. First of all, my skin is about two shades darker than it was this morning. Second of all, the sun has totally drained me of my energy. I guess it is because it helped evaporate any sweat I might have had; I don't know. I can't think of anything else to write about today, so I thought I would just write about how hot it was. You know, when I stop to think about it - I remember days at school getting way hotter when I was in middle and high school. I remember highs like 102, or 103. I remember all the air-conditioners broke at my middle school in eighth grade, and we got to go home early three days in a row! Now that was hot. So on second thought, maybe the whole global warming bit is a farce.

The Brother-Hood

Okay, first you need to know that I have two brothers. Second, my dad keeps wanting to buy more houses in our old neighborhood to rent out to different tenants. Well, I had an idea for a story of a similar set of brothers in a similar set of circumstances; only these brothers' father owns almost the whole neighborhood, and their father dies and leaves all the properties, and the tenants, to them. The bad thing is, one of the brothers does something to anger a couple of the local gangs down the street, and a sudden chain of misfortunate events begins to take place around the neighborhood, and it is up to the three brothers to save their father's legacy, and the neighborhood. Don't know exactly where I will go with this one, but I think it could be a fun story.

Blessed?

Okay, I just thought of another idea for a story. What if there were one person, on the entire planet, who had lived a pretty miserable life for the first twenty-five years of her life, and then suddenly, without any explanation at all, only good things began happening to her? I mean, things will be so good, so quickly for her, that she won't even have time to think about why it is happening. What would other people think about her? If anyone actually did have bad or jealous thoughts about her, wouldn't that lead to bad things eventually re-entering her life again? Or could anyone have bad thoughts about such a mysteriously blessed person? I am going to explore this further...wish me luck.

Think about this -

What would happen if you could think bad thoughts about someone who has done something evil to you? What if you had the power to just think of something awful happening to them, and BANG! It does! If the whole world had this power, than I am sure the evil nature in us all would lead to the extinction of mankind. But what if just one person had this power, or curse? That is going to be the subject of my next story I write. I got the idea from one night about a month ago, when some genius decided to key my truck for no good reason. I wished I could get even with that person, even if I could never know who actually did it. Then I thought of this idea for the story; only in the story, the main character who ends up with this power, discovers that the power is more of a curse than anything else, because people he cares about begin suffering.

More Random Thoughts...by Jason

Have you ever wondered what the world would be like if we didn't have junk food? How healthy would we be? How much less disease would there be in the world? What if nobody had ever heard of a twinkie, or a fruit roll-up, or even pop tarts? I wonder if there would be different sports records; I mean like what if people like Michael Jordan or Mahammad Ali never TOUCHED a candy bar or sweet treat in their entire life. Would some of the people who have fallen down the path of never-ending appetite and obesity be some of today's greatest athletes? Just a random thought I know...but sit and think about it for a while.

Well, here we go again...

Well, I seemed to have lost access to my old blog, so here is a new one. I don't know if it is worth my time or not. I know I like writing random thoughts, and this is like my own journal...but it gets time consuming when you feel like you are starting all over with something.
