Tomorrow's Forecast Shows That There's A Chance For Extra Salt In Your Breakfast.
Tomorrow's forecast shows that there's a chance for extra salt in your breakfast.
Today is Easter and tomorrow is April Fools Day. How did the second best and second worst holidays get put together like this?
Speaking of which, I hope you had a good Norther - um, Easter (I always get those mixed up) - and that it was filled with candy and bunnies. Not the other stuff that the holiday's actually about, though. That doesn't exist, right? Right?
Also, good luck keeping on your toes tomorrow from unexpected pranks. Always check the top of your salt shaker to make sure it isn't unscrewed. And make sure to Google a site and get a site preview when going in to make sure they didn't do something dumb.

I felt like sharing this for whatever reason. (Isn't that how Tumblr works, anyway?)
Heh...you just haven't realized yet how great of a person you are! And whether or not you know me is completely irrelevant. Sometimes, not knowing the theory or concept behind something but still doing so well is just natural talent. ^^
Um... thank you?
I still want to know who you are, but I have this strange feeling that I won't wrench that outta you, so I guess I'll drop it.
Presented Without Commentary: Someone's Rendition of Sonic Unleashed

Dude, how are you so awesome? Seriously, bro!
WHO ARE YOU AND WHAT ARE YOU DOING ON MY FRONT LAWN.
Am I going to get strange, general questions throughout the life of my blog? Seriously, how the heck do I answer this? (And who thinks I'm that awesome? I have a feeling it's someone here at school.)
I don't think I'm that awesome. Am I really that awesome? Am I just modest or something? I just make things. Maybe they're awesome things, sure, but other people put much more time, thought and work into their stuff than I do. I just throw together whatever looks nice (comparatively speaking).
Whenever I do ANYthing, not just art, I play it by ear. Writing, music, socializing, physics... I just do what looks right. Apparently I do darn well to get a question like this, but I don't feel like I should.
And WHO THE HECK ARE YOU? It's bugging me.
Loljk: A new concept
In my day-to-day proceedings throughout my lifetime, I have noticed some peculiarities about the way, during usual cafeteria table conversation, that "logic" can be used to prove a sarcastic point or mess with people's heads. It has almost turned into an art of sorts, much like standard rhetoric has, except that this rhetoric is used in a joking manner. Using colloquial terms of my day, I have devised a name for this new art: Loljk.
Don't leave yet, I have my reasons.
I chose "loljk" because the terms "lol" and "jk" are most often used after such discourse, and because it sounds like "logic" when pronounced correctly. By observing the phenomenon carefully, I have also derived a definition for it:
Loljk is the attempted use of flawed logic wherein there are an unusually large number of fallacies (e.g. post hoc, ergo propter hoc), untruthful statements (especially those that almost pass as truth), or things that are just plain wrong. It is used extensively when making jokes or trolling, and is often used by people who have no idea what they're doing, occasionally stretching to even the smartest of us when used without thinking first. It is related to, and in most cases synonymous with, troll logic.
The uses of loljk are many and varied. Its main use is to prove untruthful statements, useful for creating nonsense, deriving unrelated objects, recreating history, proving the unprovable, or making one look smart when one has no idea what one is doing. Other uses include humor, getting out of sticky situations, horrifying teachers, or earning blank stares from one's friends. It is known to be extremely useful on tests.
Spread the word. Hopefully awareness will breed understanding, and understanding will breed new talent in this new art of loljk. Rhetoric has successfully evolved for a new generation.
