I can go as off topic as I want in this blog post. No matter what I say, it will have some effect on whatever it is I'm talking about as there is no real subject matter to follow. No holds are barring me from writing whatever I want. Yo dawg, I heard about yo blog and I just killed an internet meme.
Speaking of internet memes, how do they happen and what is it that gets people to keep referring to them? I guess I can answer my own question since I can (NO HOLDS BARRED). It's probably like an inside joke for people on the internet. Normal people would have no idea what the flying spaghetti monster represents but he is a divine entity and all shall hail his noodly appendages.
Which also brings me to the point about Atheism and Reddit. Being on social media news sites such as Digg and Reddit, makes me take a very literal view of the world. Skepticism about religion is pretty rampant on these sites. The thing is, they make sense. The arguments against religion far outweigh the arguments for religion. The Earth being 6000 years old and the sun revolving around the Earth is an outright conflict with what the bible says about the world. All of these arguments made me see the light. I am a decent person and I do not need to justify it with an invisible man in the sky; only me and my own morals.

Midterms
The deal with midterms and all that stress that goes along with it is a little ridiculous. The only problem with it is time management. Being able to manage time is a valuable skill that everyone should learn. To be productive with your time and using it as effectively as possible is a great way to organize your time into slots to be efficient.
Midterm week is one of those times. Although there must be times when you got to take a break throughout all of the constant studying, using time efficiently to study as best as you can in as little time as possible is even better.
This is all very ideal. If it was a perfect world and people were able to control their impulses exactly as they do, then the human race would be incredibly efficient and many more marvels would have been achieved by now. I wish I was one of those people lol. Right now I'm at home on my own personal computer in my living room. It should be the most optimal place for me to do my homework, but it is probably the least productive. On my left is a television with game consoles and on my computer there's tv shows like Community and Modern Family, video games like bioshock and team fortress 2, and AIM and facebook to distract me. I wonder how I can turn my computer space into a study space...

Braces?
Whenever I see people with braces, I'm always initially thinking, "Oh wow! Those don't look that great," but I try my best to suppress that initial thought. I always try to think, "They're trying to improve their lifestyle by straightening out their teeth and getting a head start on it at a young age is good!" A question always pops into my head though; "Who's paying for those braces?" The parents are probably paying for them but that can not always be the case.
My teeth have always been crooked and I've lived 21 years of my life without them. I thought maybe I would get my braces while I am still in school so that when I am out of school, I can look more presentable with hopefully straight teeth. I haven't read much about the benefits of straight teeth but the cosmetic effect would be nice. I'm sure people have received these benefits earlier in there lives. I should ask them.
Another question that bothers me is whether braces are a luxury or a necessity. What are the benefits of having straight teeth? It looks better that's for sure, but are there any practical benefits to it? Being able to chew better? Healthier teeth in general? It's something to google, but I won't, because I can.
Soon I will go to an orthodontist and get it checked out. I haven't made an appointment, but I will eventually, I think. Whenever I find this time to just drop by and get a little more information about what the qualifications, costs, and other necessities are, I will greatly consider it. I have no idea when I will bring myself to actually do it.

Anime in Real Life?
The stuff in anime is insane. Anime commonly refers to the animated works in Japan. All of the impossible exaggerations and uninvented technology make for a completely chaotic world. People going into the future and back, different dimensions, talking animals, creatures that have species name are all crazy. If anime were real though...that would make life expectancy drop like an anvil in water....or rise ridiculously. Having life expectancy with a large drop or a large rise is absolutely possible in anime depending how anyone lives their life. The anime world is insane.
I have to give anime some points for being so creative. Although, some of the serious anime do not have these ridiculous exaggerations that many other anime do, but the ones that do outnumber the ones without exaggerations by a long shot. There would be magical fruits that give powers, giant mechanical men piloted by a single human, grim reapers everywhere, ninjas, men carrying gigantic swords and so much more.
If anime was real, there would be no need for guns. Willpower would be enough to win over anything and everything. Asteroid hitting the earth and threatening humanity? No problem! Just send one man with the right spirit up there and a few minutes later, problems are all solved. He will even find a way back home safe and sound on his own. Corrupted government? No sweat! One rebel leader with the willpower to lead, even a small force, will be able to overcome any and all governments with some luck and critical hits to infrastructure.
