Random Brainfarts

1) 80% of my family is now on the East Coast. Have fun guys. I wish I were there. But then again, I'm enjoying the clear, cloudless sky at a nice fresh temperature of 65.

2) It dawned on me yesterday that shaving is totally a product of social norms. Why do women have to share their hairy areas when men don't? Not that I'm going to stop shaving, just throwing a question out into the cosmic void.

3) I learned yesterday that meconium is baby poo. It's this dark greenish colored matter that comes out of a baby's anus. But the thing is... it's not the composition of regular fecal matter. Regular fecal matter is composed of undigested food, bacterial debris and whatever the heck passes through the GI tract. In the conventional sense of the word, the environment in which a fetus occupies is completely void of any type of foreign microbe, the fetus doesn't ingest large amounts of solid food... or any food for that matter. So the only thing that can be pooed out is cellular debris from development. Imagine that.

4) Our Law and Ethics class today discussed physician assisted suicide. I took what seemed to be the unpopular stance in class. Do I have thoughts? No, I was too busy wondering what I should blog about. Just kidding, I'll take you out to lunch and we can talk.

5) Friendships are a tricky thing. When friends are far away, you can take one of 2 stances: Out of sight out of mind, absent physically but present in spirit. I experienced both very acutely this past weekend.

6) Struggling with what going down this summer. Internship? Missions? Leading a missions team? Working in Torrance? Working in San Francisco? Sitting on my butt and gaining so much fat that I have to be lifted with a crane? I dunno. Something definitely to keep in prayer.
