I’ve never decided if the hamster wheel is a cruel or kind invention. On one hand, it keeps the otherwise inert hamster in shape. On the other, that hamster getting nowhere quickly. This LEGO elevator leaves me, again, floating in moral ambiguity. One one hand, it’s LEGO and a convenient elevator. On the other…well, just watch the clip.
Even though I’m graduated and moved away from BYU, I still enjoy reading Police Beat published in the daily school newspaper. Here are some of my favorites (with commentary) from this summer.
June 27 :

Immediately, it doesn’t seem bad to aspire and fulfill dreams. But when does that aspiration come at the expense of dealing with reality?

A dream dictionary claims the following about dreaming about a platypus:
To see a platypus in your dream, suggests your tendency to wallow and dwell on your emotions.

I see blogging as the action of writing about and reviewing this thing called life. Sometimes that involves writing about what makes us happy, or what we are interested in. Sometimes it involves voicing an opinion. Other times, it may involve writing a negative review of some aspect of life.
Sometimes, others disagree with what is written.
So, here is my question to other bloggers out there: What sort of negative reactions have you see to your blog posts?
Have you been told to take an anger management class, to quit whining, or to get a life? Do you think these responses are justified?
I never knew you were a writer
It makes me want to aspire higher
And sleep in ’till mornings end
To dream of the author’s pen.

Tell me your stories about how you have been separated with a working cell phone. Have you dropped your phone in the toilet? Has it just stopped working over time. Did it get hit by a car, or stolen on the pickpocket bus in Romania? Even if your story is not extremely interesting, drop a note so we can get an idea of what goes wrong with cell phones.
