Blog for a Cure

All the ad revenue generated from this blog and several others will go to the Chordoma Foundation which is a non-profit organization that goes towards research and treatment of this rare bone cancer. Funding is needed because governments tend to pass over such rare diseases when distributing funding. If you would like to learn more, please visit www.chordomafoundation.org

Due to the support for this blog, we have now raised $62ish, all of which will go towards the Chordoma Foundation. Thank you.

nature>my brain>computer

Why do I think the above statement is true. Let me give you the evidence from my experiences today:

Nature: I saw nature in its full glory today. First, I saw a coyote chase a rabbit into the bushes at which time the bushes frothed violently. The sounds of the chase were exhilerating. Second, I saw a seagull poop while it was walking and without any change in facial expression or pace. I thought: "Man, what a graceful animal."

my brain: I got my 2nd math midterm back today and I didn't do as well as I had hoped. Not because I didn't understand the concepts( I got the hardest question right) but rather because I read and interpreted a question wrong. This resulted in a big deduction which basically ruined what could have been a great exam.

computer: So my computer has been doing crazy stuff lately. Not only is it super slow, but microsoft word wouldn't let me save my document that I had been working for over half an hour. After not being able to do anything, I closed the window in frustration. So I basically lost half an hour of work because of my stupid computer (and to a lesser extent, my brain).
