Welp, it's once again growing late on the night which I am assigned to blog, and as always I found myself without any initiative at all to write. And so I sit here on my couch in my living room and interrogate my own mind in hopes of finding a topic...any topic...to write about. Sometimes I hope and pray for an excuse to arise which would prevent me from writing...just so I'd have one more night to procrastinate my duties. But in my heart, I began to realize that there is no escaping, for I am a blogger! As the great English psychologist Ralph Waldo Enderson once said, "The efforts which we make to escape from our destiny only serve to lead us into it."
So in a sense, there is no escaping the toils of writing a blog on an eventless day, for it will always come back to me in the end. That being said, I'd like to dedicate this blog post to all those great men and women who were able to describe situations which ordinary folk were unable to. A blog filled with both wise and witty quotes, because as Mark Twain once said, "It takes a heap of sense to write good nonsense."

Okay okay, that's enough for now. I've been at this for about an hour and a half now, so I'm just gonna wrap it up. I don't even know if this post is good or not, but I'm not about to start over, so this is all you're getting folks!
Breakfast: Ack...I slept through breakfast again! That seems to be the same story as every day this winter break, minus the few times that Fat Dan made a special guest appearance in the morning.
Lunch: For lunch I had....what did I have? I remember I woke up and was going to get a bowl of cereal...but we were out of milk. Pity. I think I just had some yogurt. Good stuff, but hardly a decent lunch.
Dinner:
"It's pizza night!"
-Harrison Ford
That's right folks, tonight was pizza night! I had two slices of some of the best pizza I've had in awhile. Yummy. We watched The Life Aquatic as well, which made me twice as happy as actually eating today! Oh boy!
And that's that! Hope you all enjoyed the quotes! I'm going to make my end a bit abrupt, because it's like 2 minutes until midnight and I'm trying to get this baby up and running before this fine Sunday leaves us! So until my next post bloggers...so long! I leave you with this:
"Instant gratification takes too long."
-Carri Fisher
