The Things We Do for Love :)

We all know there are sacrifices you have to make when you're in a relationship. One of the big ones is taking an interest in something that your significant other is interested in...or pretending to, let's be honest. Guys, we know you're not always truly caring about that new Bath and Body Works scent, romantic comedy coming out or the Kardashians, and girls are def not excited about that talking baby commercial, new buffet opening, or that hiking and canoeing trip you keep talking about. (most of the time this is true anyway)
That being said...you gotta do it. You have to humor the one you love b/c you care about them, and you respect them even if you think that stamp collection or pile of scrapbooks is boring.
But that's not really what I'm writing about. Today I'm writing about those rare occasions when you discover you have an interest in something new. Something they love!
Girls, I'm talking about Sports. Now some of you I know can talk all the sports lingo and understand the excitement, frustration, and occasional tears associated with every sports season. Good for you.
For me on the other hand, it's different. I enjoy two sports, tennis and baseball. I grew up playing softball, I love it. I love the Indians and going to games. I love tennis too. I think it's exciting and intense. When Brandon and I started dating it was the beginning of baseball season. He went to an Indians game with me even tho I know it bored him. All summer he played tennis twice a week with me. Then came football season..and it was my turn. Now, Brandon and I are different kinds of fans. He knows the names of the players, the past players, terminology, strategies, names of the plays, rules, etc. I'm not really that serious.
Thankfully he is not an obsessive fan. Thankfully there have only been a few times when he starts talking about team facts, favorite players, and what his team needs to do to win..and those times are when I find myself wondering what I should say..."Oh, really?" , "I hope they do win", "I like their jerseys", "Wait, which one's that?"
But that was in the beginning. Now it's Super Bowl Sunday. The BIG game day. The one every other game leads up to. And his team is in it. They made it. As the VP at work says, they got invited to the dance. And I can honestly say I'm excited and happy for them! What began as an absolute zero interest in football has grown to somewhat of an interest. haha For the first time I am blogging on Superbowl Sunday (Hey, baby steps...usually I'm at a party where I socialize for the first 3 and 1/2 quarters) while the game is on and I actually care - and it's not b/c they're currently winning ( =D ) or b/c they have Aaron Rogers...but b/c when you put a little effort and a little interest into something that your significant other is interested in., you might actually find out that you like it too!
Aaaand also, it's not brain surgery that when the person you're with is happy, you're happy!

So, with ALL that being said....GO PACKERS!

Blogspot Asks...

"When you hesitate before hitting snooze on your alarm clock, are you being lazy?"

My answer is...

For hesitating? No, for hitting it? Maybe. But the real question is, how alert are you? Because usually you're in that groggy, kind of hazy state of mind when your alarm goes off because you're not fully awake, and since you can't possibly make a clear decision in that state, how can you be being lazy?

My fav random question. :)

Stage 3 of Christmas - The Decorations!

My apt. is done lol well almost, I'm waiting for some snowflake lights to arrive! I'm pretty basic anyway and since I live in an apt. it's easy to stay that way! I think decorations should be up the weekend after Thanksgiving, but some people in my neighborhood have had them up for weeks!

I DID notice that my immediate neighbors on the left put up their lights on the same day as me!... suspicious... haha coincidence I think not! =D

p.s. here in NE Ohio...there's still no snow!!!

Some of you may already know, but for those who don't, Pepsi/Mountain Dew is doing a new promotion where they launched three new flavors and you get to vote for which you like best! Trust, me, pink is the best! Lol, it's Berry and Ginseng and it really is better than even the original Yellow Mountain Dew. There is a widget on my side panel beneath my "about me" that will take you to their website! It's a pretty neat site, they let you click on each state to see the rankings of all three flavors. And you can vote for your favorite! Also, if you're into it, they have things you can download (like my widget) for your blog or website that promote it! And if you don't like the pink, there's one's for the other two as well! Thought it is was a neat promotion so I wanted to share! I'd definitely recommend trying all three though before they're gone!

"Pluto"

This paper was done in MLA format and was relatively short for a research paper. It is the last paper for this class! Sources are included. Most of you know that Pluto is a kind of obsession with me lately! If it's one of yours too and you have a few minutes you might enjoy this! Who knows, you may even learn something new.

Pluto

Composition Assigment #7

Abstract: A brief history of the former planet Pluto and explanation of why it is no longer considered one. An examination into the events surrounding the decision to remove it by the International Astronomical Union and the efforts going on to bring it back by those who disagree.

Pluto

Pluto was discovered seventy-six years ago at a time when astronomers believed something was wrong with the orbits of Uranus and Neptune. These two gas giants seemed to not go around the sun as circularly as they should, which meant that another planet had to be out there disrupting their orbits. To find the troublemaker, twenty-four year-old Clyde Tombaugh made a careful survey of the sky from the Lowell Observatory in Arizona. On January 23, 1930, he spotted Pluto, a dim speck moving among the stars. (Phillips) It was quickly hailed as the ninth planet from the Sun. However, something didn’t add up, Pluto was to small to disturb the orbits of mighty Uranus and Neptune, still, it was years later before astronomers realized there was nothing wrong with their orbits. It was all a big mistake, but a lucky one for Tombaugh. Pluto became the First planet to be discovered by an American so, as is imaginable, patriotic feelings ran high in America – which helped to instate Pluto into the Solar System as a planet even faster. (Phillips)

Tombaugh considered many names for the new planet. His favorite, Pluto, was suggested by eleven year-old Venetia Burney of Oxford, England. Although many people believe that the planet was named after Mickey Mouse’s dog, which also debuted in 1930, Venetia denies this, and today it is now accepted that the dog was named after the planet - rather than the other way around. (News)

Pluto has many unique qualities, first of all, it is six times smaller than the Earth, and even smaller than seven of the solar system’s moons: the Moon, Io, Europa, Ganymede, Callisto, Titan and Triton. Secondly, Pluto has an odd orbit. While most planets go around the sun in near circles, Pluto’s orbit looks more like that of an egg. It actually crosses inside the orbit of Neptune, making Pluto the 8th planet instead of the 9th. (Phillips) Thirdly, Pluto orbits the sun at 2.9 miles per second, or 10,140 m.p.h., the slowest of all the planets. It takes Pluto 248 years to complete its orbit. (History) However, despite the oddities of its size and orbit, Pluto’s planethood was never seriously questioned until 1992. That’s when astronomers starting finding other things in space. It turns out that Pluto’s neighborhood is cluttered with icy bodies about the size of asteroids. They orbit the Sun in a busy belt, a bit like the asteroid belt, all beyond the orbit of Neptune. Back in 1951, the great astronomer Gerard Kuiper predicted such a belt to explain where certain comets came from, so today it bears his name – the Kuiper Belt. The discovery of the Kuiper Belt, with Pluto inside it, troubled some astronomers. They wondered of Pluto could be considered a planet or just another Kuiper Belt Object. Other astronomers insisted that Pluto was both – a planet and a KBO. (Phillips) So, the debate began.

The real trouble started in 2005 when Caltech astronomer Mike Brown and colleagues found something in the Kuiper Belt even lager than Pluto. Its name is 2003 UB313 or as Brown calls it, Xena. If Pluto is a planet, they reasoned, then Xena, being larger than Pluto, must be a planet as well. That sounds perfectly reasonable, except for one thing; there could be dozens of worlds larger than Pluto hiding in dark recesses of the Kuiper Belt. Are they all planets? Does the Solar System really need dozens of planets? Some astronomers said, “Why not?” The more the merrier. With each new discovery, the Solar System becomes a livelier place, with new planets to chart and study. What better way to rouse the interest of young scientists and explorers? Other astronomers disagreed. They felt that mixing KBOs with real planets would be unscientific and confusing – like mixing apples and oranges. (Phillips)

To answer the question once and for all, the International Astronomical Union (IAU) formed a “Planet Definition Committee” consisting of historians, science writers, and professional astronomers. Their job was to craft an official definition of a planet that all astronomers could agree on and use. The committee met, argued and debated, and finally settled on a definition, which they presented to the IAU General Assembly on August 16, 2006. The definition was, “A planet is a celestial body that (a) has sufficient mass for its self-gravity to overcome rigid body forces so that it assumes a hydrostatic equililibrium shape, and (b) is in orbit around a star, and is neither a star nor a satellite of a planet.” (Iau) The translation is this being that if it is round and it orbits the Sun, then it’s a planet. If this simple definition had been accepted, then Pluto would have been a planet, as would Ceres, a gain asteroid the size of Texas, and Xena. The total number of planets in the Solar System would have been twelve. Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Ceres, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, Pluto, Xena, and Charon, which is a double planet. However, it was rejected. Astronomers at the General Assembly voted against it. Still, no one wanted to end the meeting without figuring out what a planet was. So the committee continues their debate for another six days. On august 24, 2006, a modified definition was proposed. “A planet is a celestial body that (a) is in orbit around the Sun, (b) has sufficient mass for its self-gravity to overcome rigid body forces so that it assumes a hydrostatic equilibrium shape, and (c) has cleared the neighborhood around its orbit.” (Iau) What this means is that to be a planet, a world must have enough mass and gravity to gather itself into a ball; it must orbit the sun; and it must reign supreme in its own orbit, having “cleared the neighborhood” of other competing bodies. This definition was approved and, and just as simple, Pluto was no longer a planet. According to the IAU, the Solar System now has eight and only eight planets. Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune. Pluto has not “cleared the neighborhood around its orbit” A planet does this by using gravity to gobble up or fling aside competing bodies. Pluto’s gravity is to weak to clear out its part of the Kuiper Belt. The neighborhood is a mess and thus, Pluto is not a planet. Unfortunately though, the committee failed to accomplish the main goal of why they were formed, to end the debate over Pluto. In contrast now, more than ever, the debate rages on.

Many people, including many astronomers and other scientists, refused to accept the IAU’s decision. Their argument is this - first of all, the IAU’s definition of planet is not entirely self-consistent. Consider the following: Pluto itself crosses the orbit of Neptune, which means that Neptune has failed to clear its own neighborhood. Is Neptune, therefore, not a planet? In fact, taken to extremes, this logic would add up to zero planets, because no planet has completely cleared its own neighborhood of asteroids and other debris. Another point of this side is that astronomers aren’t the only one’s with an interest in this. The word “planet” is thousands of years old. People use the word on a daily basis and know what it means. It’s plain English. On the other hand, the IAU has been around for less than a century. It was founded in 1919 and now, in 2006 has a membership of about 9,000. On a startling note, less than four percent of the IAU’s members actually participated in the vote to demote Pluto. Perhaps a larger and more varied group of people should be allowed to decide. (Phillips)

The subject of Pluto being a planet has reached many people outside of the Astronomic Society and those affiliated with it. A fifth-grade teacher named Pidge Wingert and her students in Albuquerque, New Mexico say, “We think that the decision shouldn’t be left to the public but decided by the scientists who have studied the planets for years. We, as a class, disagree amongst ourselves about Pluto being a planet; we are divided 50-50.” This is an interesting view coming from 5th graders. Dr. Paul Richardson, a family doctor and amateur astronomer puts his feelings a bit more strongly, “The arguments of the IAU are irrefutable. Pluto is a big member of a group of many objects, and should never have been classified as a planet – although the reasons it was are fully understandable within their time. If school kids want a planet to call their own, they should adopt Mercury—much more exciting than sluggish Pluto from which the Sun looks like a bright star.” On the other side of the fence comes Professor Paul Rybski from the University of Wisconsin, “I favor the original IAU two-part definition of planet: roundness and Sun-orbiting.

Yes, it lets in Ceres and probably Pallas as well as Pluto and Xena…it adds new worlds to explore to our Solar System and could substantially inspire young people to study astronomy. Reducing the number of planets in the Solar System would be substantially less inspiring.” (Pluto)So what’s being done? Currently there is a petition set up with a goal of one million votes. This is the easiest and fastest way for people to get involved in this debate. As of now the results for this petition are, 19,521 for Pluto being a planet and 4,489 against Pluto being a planet. (Pluto) These numbers make it obvious that there is a long way to go for those who wish to bring Pluto back as a planet. Pluto has been removed from all new products with the Solar System theme. All planet lunchboxes, t-shirts, toys, and books no longer include Pluto. Still, one has to face the fact that it has been almost two years and the confusion amongst the general public and dismay amongst many astronomers persists. If there is one thing that the controversy over Pluto has taught us, it is that you cannot simply erase 70 years of accepted history from people’s minds.

"The Overachiever and The Underachiever" - Comparison and Contrast

The Overachiever and the Underachiever

by NLT

Composition Assigment #6

An overachiever is someone who consistently exhibits superior results as a reward for putting an excessive amount of effort into a task. On the other hand, the underachiever waits until the very last possible moment to begin work on a project, puts forth a mediocre effort and is rewarded with an average result. The odd similarity of these personality types is that they are both satisfied with the outcome of their effort. They feel as though they have accomplished something grand, when in reality they have only succeeded in proving their own selfishness.
While at first glance the overachiever may appear to be a perfect citizen - always following the rules to a "T", always exhibiting loyalty and reliability, and always one step ahead, at what cost does the label of "overachiever" come? They are always working on something. Nothing is ever good enough and it is doubtful that anything another does will ever match up to them. In fact, mere attempts at success pale in the light of their ever growing list of qualities and activities that they are constantly discussing. Their friends are usually all overachievers as well so that they may routinely sit around and discuss their own attributes. It's like a never-ending game to them. No matter what they accomplish or what level they reach, there will always be that need for something more. Unfortunately, while they are spending their youth searching for that something, they fail to appreciate the little things in life and before they know it their youth is gone, and they have missed out on all the important things.
The underachiever is the type that someone might look at and be tempted to envy. After all, who wouldn't want to go through life without any worries of deadlines or commitments? This is not a matter of reaching one's full potential; this is a matter of a lack of care - a habitual display of complacency. This very thing is what makes them unreliable, unstable, and simply put, "The last one picked for the team". No one wants the underachiever on their team because they know they can't count on them to hold their end. They might have a few long-time friends but most people will become fed up with their immature and frustrating habits. "I might as well do it myself" was probably first said by someone living with an underachiever. They have no desire to help those around them, only to do the bare minimum to get themselves by.
It's fairly simple to find these two types of people everywhere; they're relatively easy to spot. In high school the overachievers can be found at the front of the classroom, correcting the teacher and working on the end-of-the-year paper that isn’t due for three more months while the underachievers can be found in the back - asleep. In college you'll find the overachievers at the library till midnight each night with their study group while the underachievers are out at a tailgating party without even a thought to the paper that's due in the morning. In the office the overachievers are even easier to spot - they're the ones in charge. They're the workaholics, always putting the company first – while the underachievers are nursing headaches from the night before.
So which is worse? What curse is best to live with? Is it a choice? Or are some people just born anal while others are born complacent? What about all those people trapped in the middle? Those who work hard for that consistent “A” average? Frankly, we may need the overachiever and the underachiever, after all whom better to make the normal people look, well, normal?

"The Importance of Self-Control"

Well, after tons of comma-splices and a lot of extra sentences that weren't needed and well-exceeded the word limit (imagine that...) this is what I ended up with! It's a mock paper on the importance of self-control (hence, the title) and it's a little embarrassing, especially when its being read in front of a bunch of strangers. He asked me if I wanted to read it myself and I politely responded with, absolutely not. I began with the idea from the post that I did, "To Share or Not to Share", some may remember it, a bitter and selfish post on not sharing my M&Ms and being a glutton...

"The Importance of Self-Control"

by Nicole T.

Composition - Assignment #1

They say the first step to overcoming a problem is admitting that a problem exists. Well, I have one. It all started yesterday when I was shopping in Walmart. I had managed not to buy anything that I didn’t need, until I got to the checkout lane. We all know why they put those snacks and candy at checkouts, for the weaker of the dieters, the more liberal eaters, namely, me! In my defense, it wasn't entirely my fault. The cashier was one of the slowest cashiers I have ever had. This is the worst thing for a person waiting with a sweet tooth. This is when most people would use self-control. Unfortunately, I had never practiced in checkout aisles and, therefore, was unprepared. So, as I was standing there, I looked to my left, where I saw a display of candy, gum, and mints. To my right were other miscellaneous food items such as Slim Jims, Combos and other enticing snacks. Slightly behind me were the travel items, magazines, and small children's toys. Up ahead was the drink cooler. Obviously, this was the problem; I was surrounded! How could I resist? I caved to some Slim Jims, a candy bar, a "Tear & Share" pack of M&Ms, and two packs of gum.When I arrived home I opened my “Tear and Share” pack of M&Ms. As I did so, I started to feel a bit guilty for not getting the smaller size. Then I thought to myself, “Whose idea was that?” Seriously, do you know anyone who buys a "Tear & Share" pack and actually shares it? They're only ninety-eight cents- get your own! Also, who would buy a regular size pack when the bigger one is right there, for a mere forty cents more? I don't get it. So not only am I an advertiser's dream customer, but also, I'm greedy with my M&Ms. I admit it. So as I was sitting there, eating my large hand size bag of M&Ms, I knew that before I went to bed I would have eaten the entire pack. I ask myself, “Is that so wrong?” Is it my fault that they didn't go with the usual name of "King's Size"? Instead, they have to make people feel bad for getting the bigger bag when they know they're not going to share. Isn't it enough that I bought my sister a PayDay; now I have to share my M&Ms with everybody too? Is that what's expected? Maybe they should change the name, and not to something that makes people feel guilty like "bigger bags for bigger people" or, "big bags for big mouths." It must be something neutral. People who have overcome self-control issues probably have the foresight to think, "When waiting in line, wear blinders," "Don't make eye contact with the candy," or, "Get the small size; do you want people to think you’re a glutton?" Or maybe I'm the only person in the whole world who does not share their M&Ms. It’s these very thoughts that have caused me to vow to never again buy a “Tear and Share” pack of M&Ms. I will bring a friend with me to the store so that I’m too self-conscious to buy anything food-related. It hurts when I think of how I must have looked to the employee watching the camera as I lost that inward battle. What about the next time he sees me in the store, will he think to himself, “Hey, that’s the girl who cleaned out the candy display the last time she was here?” Self-control is my new top-priority. That, and shopping at Target.

Here's a video by a young stand-up comedian, only 9 years old!!! So cute!

Pepsi vs.Coke

Since I received quite a few comments in the past about the whole Coke vs. Pepsi thing, I was curious. Which one was doing better according to the stock market?!? HHHHMMMM, What I found may shock you (if you drink a lot of Coke), I assure you, this is pure fact and you can verify them on Yahoo Finance...

PEPSI:

(PEP)

COKE:

(COKE)

Looks like Coke has taken a major nose dive in the past couple of years....however, props to them for obviously making a comeback! I assume that was with the addition of Coke Zero, which is actually pretty tasty. (If I had to drink a Coke) lol But on the other hand...Pepsi's market has just continued to grow and grow....strengthening as they go I might add! lol I also found that Coke stock was cheaper than Pepsi, by 2.40 and although both stocks are safe pretty safe to invest in, Coke was riskier.
So Pepsi is safer to invest in probably because they know sales are just going to keep on climbing...while Coke, well, hopefully they'll at least stay steady for awhile...

:P :P :P

"I Want a Hippopotamus For Christmas"

I don't know if alot of you have heard of this song or not but it is too cute! I just heard it for the first time this year and at first, I was like, "wow, that's annoying", but it is too catchy! And it grows on you! Make sure you listen to the first video then the second! too funny! I laugh through the whole second one...although it does start to get a little creepy! The song is sung my Gayla Peevey and it is from 1953. Enjoy!!!
