Too Much Stuff, Not Enough Space

Since I’m on my winter vacation and, as a result, I’ve been watching more television than usual, I’ve been seeing a lot of commercials. Some commercials are thought-provoking, some have content that doesn’t relate at all to the product or service being advertised, some contain songs that get stuck in my head, and some–or, more correctly, most–are just plain annoying.

For example there’s the one that begins with a disembodied female voice saying, “Too much stuff, not enough space!” a million times. Of course it’s advertising the Space Bag, a bag that you put fabric stuff inside of and then vacuum out the air so that these items take up less space.

The idea is a rather good one because it can help you organize your home and make it less cluttered. However it’s not a solution for “too much stuff, not enough space.” By buying this product, you’re only acquiring yet more stuff. The solution, in my opinion, is to get rid of stuff.

Why I Don’t Find the Countdown to a New Year Exciting

I was in my room reading blogs on Google reader on my phone in the dark (bad for my eyes, yes I know). Suddenly I heard a multitude of shots being fired and at first I thought, “Is someone being murdered so close to my house?” Then I realized that the shots were comimg from all sorts of directions. I looked at the time. 12:01. “Oh, it’s 2012,” I thought to myself.

New Year’s Day is one of those holidays that people celebrate with gusto. But then again many people celebrate many other holidays almost obsessively with their family traditions, feasts, and decorations. Every year it’s the same thing. I don’t understand the appeal of celebrating holidays, but I digress.

Why is your god real but others are not?

There’s one thing that really confuses me. Of course, I’m not actually going to tell you upfront what that thing is. Just a heads up: I’ll be beating around the bush for pretty much this whole post.

On a side note, I’m not one for religion bashing. As a matter of fact, I’m an agnostic and I have lots of religious tolerance. I believe that everyone can believe whatever it is they want to believe. Now, let’s continue.

I’m quite a fan of Ancient Greece–their culture, civilization, and language is all very fascinating to me. However, the one thing that always draws me to the Ancient Greeks is their religion. They believed in a great array of gods and goddesses. Back then, these gods were mainly created to explain something they didn’t understand. And the Ancient Greeks weren’t the only ones who did it either.

The Personal Dilemma

It’s amazing how one can know that something is good for oneself, yet there’s always that brief hesitation–consideration for the bad thing.

Some have it worse than others, and it applies in many different situations.

My personal dilemma is choosing water over juice. I know that water is good for me. It hydrates the body and it’s thirst quenching too without the calories. But it doesn’t taste that great–it doesn’t have a taste at all.
