mmm, cake

1. lazy sunday. went to the baseball game, did homework, watched a movie. i feel repetitive, but i love being in 12 hours...and i love that it's springtime.
2. i'm counting down the weeks to summer! it will bring new, exciting things into my life. 
3. the revised health care bill passed the house tonight. which brings me to my topic for tonight (kind of)...ta da!

cake. everyone loves cake (actually, not everyone, but still). since everyone loves cake so much, we always want to have our cake and eat it too. not possible. repeat: not. possible. this is where the frustration factors in. you want the cake, to look at the cake, smell the cake...eat the cake. but then! you eat the cake...and it's gone. you can't eat it and still have it. sorry. wrong-o! not how it works. yes, semantics can factor into this argument, but let's be real: the point of the phrase is that one cannot simultaneously have one thing and have another contradictory thing. so as this relates to health care, people want full-coverage and for their problems to all be magically solved...but no one wants to pay for it or for government to interfere. see what i mean? why can't people understand that YOU CAN'T HAVE BOTH?! yes, i am guilty of this crime of being blissfully ignorant to life's realities and murphy's law, but i am slowly learning that this cake rule applies to life almost all the time. some people think it will also apply to personal life, like, one can have a significant other, but still flirt like one is single. it may work for awhile, but eventually it will all catch up and blow up in one's face. or so i like to think this is true...anyway. it all comes back to the cake: you can't want one thing for yourself, like being single, but then not want the person you are interested in to remain off the market. that's just not fair. i have a lot to say on this topic, as you can tell, but i think i have summed it up pretty well for now. cake rule.

my bucket list item for this week is especially fitting: bake a big cake, like a wedding cake but just for me and whomever happens to be in my life at the time i decide to bake it.
