Okay, so I've been holding off. I'm sorry! It's just a lot harder than I thought it would be. But I have decided to make a semi-speech, semi-commentary on today's quote:
I would never die for my beliefs because I might be wrong. -Bertrand Russell
And my response:
I can't really seem to classify this quote as funny. It has a little more of a serious edge. Anyways, on to the speech. How do we classify beliefs? Sure it's something we believe in but seriously, how should we classify it? Should we classify it by one's culture, one's heritage, one's individuality, one's religion or one's something of another? And if we choose to view one's culture, do we view the culture that the person grew up with or the culture that had been inherited by the person's parents? And yes, heritage and culture inherited are two different subjects. Heritage has to do with ancestry. Culture that is inherited is more of something you learn from your parents. Big difference. You see, the second option does not include anything about ancestry but more with environment your parents create. Then, we can argue about the pessimism about this quote. It actually reeks of pessimism. Or maybe it's just insecurity. Anyways, it doesn't sound like there's much confidence at all and that the author...oh, I'm out of time. Never mind. But it was still pretty lengthy so I'm good! Hehe....tune in for the next one (I think)!

A Little Something Else
I'm skipping the challenge this time because I have a very important announcement to make: a comment area for videos. Since it is impossible to comment on the videos that I have put at the bottom of the page, if you really want to comment, comment to this post. You can even say, "POST MORE VIDEOS!!!" or "TAKE OUT THIS VIDEO!!!" or "good choices". Anything works as long as you're okay with it. Anyways, just thought I should make that point.

Call-Out
Three in one day! That's so cool. Anyways, this is a call-out to all those people that bother reading this blog: POST A COMMENT!!! I'm dying to know what you guys think and it makes me feel so paranoid when it sounds like I'm just talking to myself...trust me, it's awkward. So, please post a comment. It would help me know what to change or if I should get rid of anything or just even talk about all the videos that I will upload a century from now (century=week).

As Promised...
Today's funny quote is:
"This President is going to lead us out of this recovery."
Wow, umm, I don't really know what to say except that Dan Quayle does not have a lot of faith in whoever the President is. Of course, since we have no idea when he said this quote or who he was talking about, I'm just gonna have to wing it. Uh,...nothing. But I would like to add a little comment: If he was talking about Herbert Hoover (don't think he was alive then, but still...we never know who he was talking about) or Richard Nixon, then he's got it right.
Yeah, so after a failed attempt to try this (I should stick to regular quotes), please comment on this absurd response to this quote. Seriously, comment.

Another Challenge...Seriously, This One is a Challenge
As a stupid attempt to work on my Impromptu quotes skills, I have decided to take on the...
FUNNY QUOTES OF THE DAY CHALLENGE!!!!*Flashing Lights*
Relatively every day (days that I'm actually on the blog) I will try to make an incredibly tiny speech outline-ish thing along with any other posting needed. I think that way, I could reach my goal sooner. You know, two is better than one when you're trying to get to 100 by June. I would call it a desperate attempt but desperate times call for desperate measures. Funny, I think I said that once. Please comment when I do because this really is for my impromtu practice. Thanks. Totally would appreciate the comments!
