Trying to update my Posterous from a new service called Glue. It allows me to update to multiple sources, just like Posterous does. Since there’s no Posterous app for the iPhone/iPod touch, I’ll use the new Glue app to publish to Posterous which will then publish itself to Twitter & my Facebook news feed. Awesome, it’s just one big chain of updates.

Arguments have the power to break people to bits within seconds. Arguments are no doubt an evil force waiting to grab someone and ensnare them into its trap. However, they can also build relationships, if settled correctly.

Before you sputter words of hate, before you criticize, before you echo your harsh opinions, before you stereotype, before you discriminate, before you judge, before you even say one word, just remember that there is always someone listening. You may not realize how easily you can impact someone's life by the words you speak, whether or not you know they're listening.

Yes, that's right! Calorie counting has ended today for me. After hearing what my mom had to say, I pretty much decided I didn't really need it. It had become an obsession and it was something that was constantly on my mind at some point. So what does this mean for me? Does it mean that I go back to eating every bad food that caused my weight gain in the first place?

No. It definitely doesn't. Though I'm not counting calories, I am still uptight when it comes to what kind of food I'm eating. Healthy is the way to go, guys. If you don't believe me, then there's nothing that I can really do about it; it's your choice!

Reflecting upon my life and my actions always leads to the discovery of an imaginary mirror. A mirror that extends itself into every vein of my body, revealing mysteries and secrets that I rarely think about in every day life. It's a mirror that will help me establish the good and bad.

Today I was sitting in my English class taking a vocabulary test when one of the words stood out to me -- supercilious. I never thought much of it until today but here's why: I look around my school and all I see (in general) are a lot of girls that decide that they are better than other people because of many reasons, like beauty or money, etc. It's not only girls, it can be upperclassmen and in rare cases underclassmen. Guys can do it too although it's not as obvious as girls.

Back at Wordpress I usually wrote paragraphs upon paragraphs in my posts. Although usually offering as much sound advice as I could think, I felt that my posts were too long. Now that I transitioned over here to Posterous, I find that the suggestion here is to make short, simple posts. Few words, few pictures, few everything. Short, simple, and BAM there you have it, a blog post. But Is there really any limit here on Posterous, or Tumblr, or any other website? No, I don't think so. I might keep posting long posts because I don't feel that blogging should always be about pleasing your readers.

Right now in my life I'm fighting obsessions. We've all had them. The fads that go through our decades can resonate with many of you. As of now I am focusing a lot on counting calories, eating healthy, and Lady Gaga. They're all very peculiar things, I agree. I have lost quite a lot of weight and have some belly fat still and now that I have this app called Lose It on my iPod touch, I am interested and in the habit of tracking calories. Albeit it's quite difficult, it's become an addiction as well.

Then comes the eating healthy part. That's not entirely a bad thing. It's a great thing, in fact, that I would want to improve my eating habits. The problem is that I am always scrutinizing meals and complaining when I have a little bit of unhealthy stuff. That's the problem.

Thirdly, my music obsession. It may be odd that someone like me would like Lady Gaga, considering society places its laws upon men and women, allowing them to like only certain kinds of music. Well sorry society, I'm breaking out of your box. You can't tell me who I can listen to, you can't classify me as anything based on what I listen to, and I say this because I know the thoughts people will think when they read this. I'm not psychic, you're just very predictable. Anyways, she's weird, I admit that. Her videos are scary, her performances are still scary, but her songs and the way she performs are awesome. Very, very awesome. And I try not to praise her so much, because I have to remember that God is always first, yet it's hard to always put God first sometimes because I always feel I'm subtly putting this before him.

And one more thing. For a quick-post-type blog like Posterous, am I posting too much?

This isn't the right time for me to blog, but I haven't done it in a while. I have lots of homework to do and would rather not blog at the moment because I have a few minutes to finish my homework before Glee comes on :)

Anyways, the father of a friend of mine is currently dying, if not already dead. We have prayed, but we know that God is in control. In situations like these it is very complicated when thinking of prayer. We have faith, we have hope, and we pray, but when it comes to life it is very hard to always be so confident. If all our prayers for the sick were answered, the word sick would not exist.

And so the Lord giveth life, and the Lord taketh. I am not trying to be negative. I am not saying that you shouldn't pray for the sick or dying. I'm saying that we have to realize that life is but a mere temporary home here on earth and all of us can go any moment. Be thankful for what you have already, keep looking at the great things you have instead of the great things you don't have, spend time with your loved ones and friends, be a good person on this earth while you stay.

OR a beautiful nightmare, either way I don't wanna wake up from you. That's a Beyonce song but that has nothing to do with this post. Just wanted to ask all of you if you've ever sat and thought about the way your mind works when you're asleep.
