Emerson- Self Reliance

It is easy in the world to live after the world's opinion; it is easy in solitude to live after our own; but the great man is he who in the midst of the crowd keeps with perfect sweetness the independence of solitude.

This is why I don't drink pop...

WATER
#1. 75% of people are chronically dehydrated.
#2. In 37% of people, the thirst mechanism is so weak that it is mistaken for hunger.
#3. Even MILD dehydration will slow down one's metabolism as much as 3%.
#4. One glass of water will shut down midnight hunger pangs for almost 100% of dieters
#5. Lack of water is the #1 trigger of daytime fatigue.
#6. Preliminary research indicates that 8-10 glasses of water a day could significantly ease back and joint pain for up to 80% of sufferers.
#7. A mere 2% drop in body water can trigger fuzzy short-term memory, trouble with basic math, and difficulty focusing on the computer screen or on a printed page.
#8. Drinking 5 glasses of water daily decreases the risk of colon cancer by 45%, plus it can slash the risk of breast cancer by 79%, and one is 50% less likely to develop bladder cancer.

Are you drinking the amount of water you should drink every day?

COKE
#1. In many states the highway patrol carries two gallons of Coke in the trunk to remove blood from the highway after a car accident.
#2. You can put a T-bone steak in a bowl of Coke and it will be gone in two days.
#3. To clean a toilet: Pour a can of Coca-Cola into the toilet bowl and let the "real thing" sit for one hour, then flush clean. The citric acid in Coke removes stains from vitreous china.
#4. To remove rust spots from chrome car bumpers: Rub the bumper with a rumpled-up piece of aluminum foil dipped in Coca-Cola.
#5. To clean corrosion from car battery terminals: Pour a can of Coca-Cola over the terminals to bubble away the corrosion.
#6. To loosen a rusted bolt: Apply a cloth soaked in Coca-Cola to the rusted bolt for several minutes.
#7. To bake a moist ham: Empty a can of Coca-Cola into the baking pan, wrap the ham in aluminum foil, and bake. Thirty minutes before ham is finished, remove the foil, allowing the drippings to mix with the Coke for a sumptuous brown gravy.
#8. To remove grease from clothes: Empty a can of Coke into the load of greasy clothes, add detergent, and run through a regular cycle. The Coca-Cola will help loosen grease stains. It will also clean road haze from your windshield.

FOR YOUR INFORMATION:
#1. the active ingredient in Coke is phosphoric acid. It will dissolve a nail in about four days. Phosphoric acid also leaches calcium from bones and is a major contributor to the rising increase of osteoporosis.
#2. To carry Coca-Cola syrup (the concentrate) the commercial trucks must use a hazardous Material place cards reserved for highly corrosive materials.
#3. The distributors of Coke have been using it to clean engines of the trucks for about 20 years!

Now the question is, would you like a glass of water? or Coke?

update!

Last night was the cheer banquet. It's officially over. I'm a coach!!! I am hyped to coach this next May! I can't wait...
24 last night was up to par as usual. "Rattle my saber!" I was saddened by the lack of Pierce this past show. But he'll be back again!
My birthday was this past Sunday. The big 1-8! woohoo! Thanks for making it a good one everybody.

Things I have learned since I turned 18:
1. Lottery tickets are your friend, especially Cash Word.
2. You can never have too many shoes. (This is nothing new to me, just want to emphasize it.)
3. You can never take too many pictures. Whether they are complete randomness or not.
4. It doesn't matter if you are truly good at pool or not, there is always the scratch on the 8-ball for the win.

Enjoy my randomness below...

school+practice+work=lack of updation

Life has been busy!

*side note* Does anyone know why the list on the side of my blog, to the right, has moved to the bottom of my page? Weird...

Cheerleading Regional are this Saturday, I think we have a chance to make it to States as long as we don't let things get to our heads. Practices lately have been blah! ...Not hard just blah...

Don't watch Little Miss Sunshine! It got good reviews, but the movie was just strange. There was a ton of cursing and it was just bad... I must admit, it had a good overall storyline, but it was just portrayed poorly. The last ten minutes was the best part, one of the only good parts.

A good movie is Take the Lead! It's about dancing... but it is really good! It will make you want to dance afterwards trust me on this one!

Seacrest vs. Cowell

Tensions between American Idol stars Ryan Seacrest and Simon Cowell are coming to a head. Here is a timeline detailing their past friction:

1984: Cowell hangs up on a 10-year-old Seacrest following bitter dispute over whether Mocha Sugarcreek should have won Best Vocal Group on Star Search

2002: Producers tell Seacrest and Cowell that the show will be more entertaining if there is conflict between them

2003: In his book I Don't Mean To Be Rude, But…, Cowell refers to Seacrest throughout as "Bryan"

2004: Cowell quietly repeats everything Seacrest says for entire broadcast

2005: During a production meeting, Seacrest eats a cranberry Danish that Cowell had his eye on
2006: Names on the stars' dressing rooms are mysteriously changed to "Bowell" and "Peecrest"

2007: Paula Abdul says some inane stuff about singing, and Seacrest goes to commercial before Cowell can respond with some equally inane
