People these days!

People these days! I can't stand it. They have such short attention spans. Why? I will tell you why. They are used to being constantly entertained. Wherever and whenever they are the slightest bit bored, they can just pull out their phones and play Flappy Bird, until they are sick of that and they go on Pinterest. And then they check their Twitter, and then they... You get my point. They always have something to do.

You know how I know this? Because I grew up with just an hours worth of screen time a day, and so often times I just sat around doing absolutely nothing, bored out of my ears. So I am used to being bored once in a while. And so I have a fairly long attention span. Not as long as I might wish, but a lot longer than a lot of people I know. At least if my sister is telling me a story for the millionth time, I wait till the middle to tell her that she has short term memory loss.

Anyways, my point is this. Take a chill pill. When you're bored, don't take out your phone immediately. Maybe read a book, or imagine that you are someone famous. Or you could just eat. That is always an option.

Computers were made for instant entertainment, but instant entertainment is not always, actually, never, the best entertainment.

And if you are going to play Flappy Bird... Don't. Play Buffalo Wings instead.

Just a bit of rambling.

Here we go.

I have no idea what I am going to say, but I haven't written in a while and that is bad. I have all the time in the world, due to being sick, so I might just make this post pretty long, and hopefully not too boring to my imaginary followers. Anyways, I believe it is important for a writer to write. After all, that is what makes a writer, well, a writer.

So I will write/ramble on. Some people find it difficult to ramble for long periods of time, but not me. And that doesn't mean I am one of those people who can't keep their mouth closed. Actually I hardly ever speak when I am around people. But when I do, often times it is a very long ramble.

Well, back to the ramble. Wait a second, I have been rambling this whole time! Hmm. That brings us (that is, me) to the very deep and personal question: What is a ramble? Well, my definition of a ramble is talking without thinking for a long time. You know, saying whatever comes to mind, which leads to a rather interesting and one way conversation. The thing about saying whatever comes to your mind is, your mind often times doesn't make too much sense to other people. A ramble about, say, dinosaurs, can easily turn into a ramble about crocheting in less than a minute. Well, anything can turn into a ramble about crocheting. Needless to say, I believe you understand. But maybe you don't. See, probably the you is going to be me, and I of course understand all of my rambles. But if the you is someone else... Then... Well, I have certainly lost you by now.

And so I will try to get your attention again. I could get your attention by jumping out of your computer screen at this moment, but that might just hurt my head. Or I could get your attention by making my crocheted dinosaur jump out of your computer screen, but that surely wouldn't do, for that is what probably lost you in the first place. And besides, it's head is not hard enough to break glass. Glass is very hard to break with a crocheted dinosaur. Don't ask me how I know. At least glass isn't as hard to break as diamond. Whew! That stuff is hard as rock. (Teehee)

Wait, no! This episode is not over yet! No, no, no! Keep the cameras rolling! Or maybe it should be over. I have gotten quite off track. But wait! Getting off track is what rambling is all about! So that is great. Really, because I just got talking about rambling again, which is a big no no in rambling. Of course, sometimes it is acceptable, but only in certain situations.

Wow. I just realized that this post, which is about stuff that doesn't matter one bit, is about twice as long as my post about goals. How very sad. But at least I have taught you the correct way to ramble? Yay.

Goals

Goals. They are important.

And no, I am not talking about your goal to get the latest iPhone, or your goal to eat the entire cake. No, I am talking about life goals.

Life goals are important, because they give people reasons to do awesome stuff. Like, why in the world would you want to, say, get good grades, unless your dream was to go to a good college? The only things that are stopping you from failing highschool are 1. Punishment, wich doesn't really work that well. and, 2. your goals. The reason punishment doesn't work is this: It isn't good enough. You see, punishment doesn't make you want to get good grades, it just makes you want to not get bad grades. Life goals, on the other hand, come from within you. They don't just make you want to not fail, they make you want to succeed, because it was a decision you made deep down inside.

So the question is, why aren't we happy just, you know, failing? What makes human beings want to be successful in life? Because we are different, that's why. We are different because God carefully crafted us by hand. He didn't just say "Let there be Man!" although he could have. But He didn't want to. Maybe for the same reason we don't want to fail.

Well, well, welcome.

Hello.

I am ZoZo, and I have decided to make a blog. Why? Because my older sister just made one, and I love being a copycat, that's why! Well, not really. She gave me the idea of having a blog, but my blog is going to be very different than hers. Hers is just about designing. Mine is about, like, everything that is important to me. Don't worry, though, I am planning on organizing it real well to make it more than just a bunch of random stuff. The categories will probably include: Writing, Personal, Baking and Cooking, Reviews of Sites I Found That Are Awesome. Those are just to give you an idea. If you are interested, which you are probably not, then keep reading. If you are not interested, then still keep reading.

This is not my first blog. But it is my first blog that has a bit of everything in it. I know it will probably be less popular this way, but it will be easier to write. We will see how this goes.

Let me tell you a bit more about myself. First of all, I dream of being a famous Author. I also have a big imagination, and I use it to imagine what it would be like to be a famous Author. I love to write, and that is why I have made this blog: It gives me an excuse to write. Currently I am writing my Autobiography, which I will probably have someone publish for me after I die, because it is so very embarrassing. I am also working on a novel that is at the moment called "Underground Secrets." I have finished the first draft of that, but, well... let's just say it still needs a ton of work. I am also planning on writing a few other books, but I haven't started working on those yet.

You have probably skimmed through that entire paragraph. Oh well.

That is all I have to say for now, I think. But now that we have the boring stuff over with, (introducing myself, that is) I think that the next posts will be a lot more fun. Thanks for reading all the way to the end! Give yourself a round of applause, that was hard work! Bravo!
