What does not kill you...
"What does not kill him, makes him stronger" - Friedrich Nietzsche. (originally in German. But we all know who speaks German, right? NAZIS!)
People often incorrectly (you'd know that if you were me) paraphrase that as applying to them personally. What kind of saying is that? What does not kill you makes you stronger. You just read that sentence. Dead yet? No? Good! You're stronger.
Let's say you get hit by a car. People come rushing to the scene and ask if you're dead. You reply no (or yes, if you're witty). They walk away, saying "oh well, you're stronger now. Both your legs aren't working anymore, but suck it up, gimpy. It's good for you."
Now, a discussion of the misuse of that quote only inevitably leads to Kanye.
"Now that that don't kill me, Can only make me stronger." - Kanye West.
Now, his (mis)use of the above quote only increases my distaste for Kanye. This, and also his use of Auto-tune on "Love Lockdown". You're not T-PAIN! And neither is Lil' Wayne. Just tossing that in there. Lil' Wayne is awful.
So I'm misusing the Niexzctschxcze quote (Sorry, normal human beings are unable to spell his last name correctly without checking. I have neither the time nor the inclination to do so.) in my own way.
"What does not kill you is obviously not a ninja. If it were a ninja, you'd be dead. Yeah. Ninjas." - Justin.

We forget we're not Mexican.
Ah, beans, beans, the magical fruit... well, you know the rest.
We are a big mexican food family. We have really good enchiladas, we even do homemade tacos, as in not buying the shells and we cook the meat ourselves and all that. But we forget we're not Mexican, and we get cocky about our Mexican food and sometimes take it overboard.
Enter refritos. Now I believe that certain people are able to eat Mexican food, and some are not. I am just barely on the enchilada line, if I have good enchiladas (we do). But anything more than an enchilada doesn't sit well. Literally. So I go in for the beans, just to see if I can push myself over the enchilada line. I did not immediately regret my decision, they tasted good, but about an hour later, well, no me gusta.
So we do have good mexican food, but yo no puedo refritos.
P.S. Should I do a LOST post? I think I can handle it. It would really be an aggregate of what I read about it on the web.

Slogan Wednesday: Cups
So I was looking at everyday objects, and wondered how they could be advertised. I mean, everyone has certain little things like office supplies, kitchen utensils, but you never see ads for them as new things. You'd never find an ad for cups as a new invention on their own.
I plan on changing that. So I'm going to start with cups, and things related to them:
Cups, because bottles are so 1994.
Cups, it's like a little vase. You like vases, right?
Straws, when you no longer have the will to drink straight from the glass.
Cups, it's better than using your hands.
Have you ever had that "ah" moment? You know, the one where boiling hot coffee spills onto your thigh in the middle of traffic? You probably have, it's usually followed by many expletives. Well now you can use a coffee lid! Yes, that's right, it's a lid for your coffee cup. Now you can throw your coffee around the car and never have to worry about it spilling again!
Cups, I can't believe you haven't thought of this already!
Travel mugs, because regular mugs suck.
There you have it folks.
Next week: rulers.

"Among women, those who ate the most red meat were 36 percent more likely to die for any reason, 20 percent more likely to die of cancer and 50 percent more likely to die of heart disease. Men who ate the most meat were 31 percent more likely to die for any reason, 22 percent more likely to die of cancer and 27 percent more likely to die of heart disease."
So according to this site on causes of death, heart-related deaths constitute 28.5 percent of all deaths. So if you regularly eat red meat, women have a 36.2 percent chance and men have a 42.8 percent chance of dying a heart related death.
It's official. Red meat is more dangerous than cancer (which weighs in at 22.8%).
And also murderers (homicide makes up only 0.7%). It is actually reasonable to be more afraid of the steak you're eating than the creepy guy with a machete staring at you from your dining room window.

Oh boy, an observant avian and a female vigilante.
My followers include "Suki Switchblade" and "Watchful Cockatoo", who could be the title character of one of Frank Millers graphic novels and the crime boss she works for.

The awesome is live.
And now you’re gonna hear about them.
First of all, this is a free zone for me. I can say whatever I feel like.
Genitals. (tee-hee!)
Blogging 1, not blogging 0.
Also, the format of blogging is appealing. It's non-verbal, one-sided thought publishing. I have a format with which I can write what I'm thinking, and you're not directly talking to me. Unless you choose to comment. However in that case, I can just ignore you.
Blogging 2, conversations 0
I’ve also got another job, due to this. That makes two: Awesome person/Blogger.
Well, technically three. I’m also a ninja.
Blogging 3, sitting in my room only awesoming or being out ninja-ing 0.
So there you have it folks, Blogging is better than not blogging.
So, yeah.
Justin.The Awesome goes live monday!
A blog? Oh snap! Yes, my friends, I go live monday.
