Shortness of Sleep

When you wake up in the morning, you feel like you just went to sleep a few minutes ago. “Why so soon?” That’s how I feel at about 7:00 every day. Perhaps the only way we can alleviate that feeling is to go to sleep at eight every night.

Bee Attack

One of my friends (Ryan to be specific) pointed me to an extremely funny picture story on some forum. The guy who did this whole thing was at his sister’s house, where a giant swarm of bees was ‘taking over’ their swing set. So this guy took multiple attempts to get the bees out, including throwing a trailer hitch at them, and burning them with three different fuels.

The Family Moving Cycle

People, based on my very limited observations, move three or four times in their adult lives. I can say this because my family has moved. Here’s the deal:

1. After getting married
   Generally you will not want to live in your parents’ house after you get married. You have your own life, and most of the time, being under their rules and lifestyle isn’t such a great thing either past age eighteen.
2. After having a child:
   I would think that after getting married you’ll settle in a small apartment, with not a ton of room for new family.
3. After having several more children:
   Time to get out of that slightly bigger hole in the wall. A few more bedrooms would be nice.
4. After the kids are married or retirement:
   Now you don’t really need all that space, and less house means less money to spend on it.

This cycle will occur with most people today, so expect to be a part of it. This is really meant to be more of a heads-up type of post, not one with really useful info in it. However, there are some times when I just start talking about random but real things in life, and this is definitely random.
