Do you hear what I hear?

So after the christmas season has passed I have heard christmas songs and started to question there lyrics. I want to ask the question, do you hear what I hear?
First I think that Christmas songs are the most weird songs on earth. Just think of the lyrics of Do You Hear What I Hear. Said the little lamb to the shepherd boy, "Do you hear what I hear?" Now I think the shepherd boy has been in the field to long, he is talking to the sheep! and then the song gets better, "A child, a child shivering in the cold, Let us bring him silver and gold!" The child is shivering in the Cold! I think this kid needs a blanket, some hot soup maybe.
But then christmas songs really don't make sense anyway. Take Rocking Around the Christmas Tree for instance. "Everyones dancing in the new old fashioned way!!!!!" ........... How do you dance in a new way thats old fashioned?  -_-
Then think about Santa Clause Is Coming to Town, try singing that in a deep scary voice and that songs takes on an entirely new meaning.  I don't know if Santa is a Jolly ol Elf or a CSI spook.
Walking in a winter wonder land isn't much better. Who the heck is parson Brown and why choose him. and then pretending that the snowman is also a circus clown, Oh thats romantic, cause when I think of romance I think of clowns.......
So next time you hear a christmas song listen to is closely, it might just be as weird as these songs.

The End! (not really)

Its the end of the world as we know it and I feel fine. Okay so according to the mayans the world is going to end today. The Mayan calendar ends today and there are so many stories that really disprove the world ending today. For one, mayans didn't have leap year, so the world should have ended a while ago. Another thing is that people have said that someone found more of the calendar..... so this rather disproves it ending. In my opinion if i was in charge of making a calendar I would have it end suddenly and just laugh at the future worlds problems when they find it and think the world will end that day. That or I would just suddenly stop because I died. So really people, the world is not going to end because of the Mayans. I keep telling people the movie 2012 is really going to be funny come 2013.
So if the mayans got it right, irony will be on their side and this will be my last blog post. If not, I'm laughing and making fun of scientists who actually believed the world was ending.

Stupid Questions

You know how teachers tell you no question is a stupid question, well I'm pretty sure they are wrong. I have been asked questions that don't follow logical sense. I was in the grocery store and I saw someone I knew. The saw me waved and said, "Hi Joshua, what are you doing here?"..................... I wanted to reply, "Oh, you know, hunting elephants." A better question would be "What are you buying here?" If you see someone in a building that has one specific purpose, the are probably doing that specific purpose.

I also would like people to stop asking people "whats up?"It really doesn't make any sense at all. I am personally tired of this question, I will always look up and tell them what is above them or tell them to look up themselves, thankfully most people have learned I will answer stupidly to this question and stopped.

Airports need to stop asking people that have luggage if the packed it themselves and follow the question with "are you aware of the contents?" Nah I just packed in my kitchen in the dark, I have no idea whats in there.

I'm sure you can think up some stupid questions as well, there are a lot of them but I decided to post on the ones that bug me the most.

I have a Doppelgänger, either that or people are cloning me.

So I found a picture online a year ago randomly, that picture is below. Note the guy on the left.

yeah, needless to say I shocked to see that there was someone that looked like me. I had a Doppelgänger. I thought it was cool but really thought nothing of it other than the occasional bragging that I had a model Doppelgänger. So I have just recently become that I may have another doppelgänger and he lives in the area. For the past couple of years I have had a few people come up to me claiming they saw me in places that I was never at at the time. Just recently somebody saw this doppelgänger. I have two theories about this, either me or my doppelgänger is from a parallel universe, or they are cloning me. Either way, I am keeping my eyes peeled and hoping that there are more of my doppelgängers spottings. Cause if there is, there are a lot of pranks I can pull.

Lighting Issues

So today I was running lights at my church in the link, everything was running smoothly durning worship and durning the middle of a song the lighting program went nuts. I calmly pushed a few buttons to fix it and sat back with confidence, to then watching in wide eyed horror as all the lights in the room went off and blackness filled the room. I scrabbled around for a whole minute pushing buttons and sliding faders trying to turn the lights and all the while the band still playing. I could feel the waves of irritation flowing from the band. I thankfuly pushed did the right combinations of buttons and faders and the lights turned themselves back on. I then sat back in relief for a few minutes and thought........ Wait! i'm still running the show! The rest of the time the lighting program gave me no other problems and afterward I apologized to each of the band members. What amused me is the answer back to my apology was "Yeah I was like, oh this is part of the show just keep playing........... why aren't the lights  turning back on." All of them where amused by it and one person thought it was cool and not a goof up at all! Needless to say I was thankful the worship pastor is still letting me run lights.

Hero Tower 8! (cause we had bad luck with the other 7)

Joke of the day: 

PUPIL – “Would you punish me for something I didn`t do?”

TEACHER – “Of course not.

”PUPIL – “Good, because I haven`t done my homework.”

So this is a picture Hero Tower 8, you can see Dakota on the blue exit thing waving. Me and my buddies Dakota and Justin play Minecraft, jumping on random servers and causing havoc. Almost every server we have been on we built a tower like this. Our first one was just bad luck, we had no idea that it was a war server! Hero Tower 1 and 2 got blown up on that war server.  The other towers I have lost track how we lost them and quite frankly it took us a while to remember which tower number this is. This one by far is becoming one of the best we have made, and it won't get blown up this time. Unless Dakota pulls out the TNT and has a party, this tower should stay in tact. I will probably post more photos and maybe vids of the creations me Dakota and Justin make but until then enjoy this amazing picture of the hot tub Dakota made.

Dakota is on the left and I'm on the right. (dressed as robin!)

Food Moocher/Music Mixer

So several people have asked my how my sister is doing. My sister is doing great, while I am writing this  she is currently sitting beside me mooching off my cereal and handing me all the raisins because she doesn't like them. We have created a system. Every morning I get up get my cereal and then sis comes and sits down beside me and looks up at me until I tell her she can have some cereal, then when the cereal is gone, she disappears. darn it! I look over at my bowl and all the marshmallows from my Lucky Charms are gone!  My sister sneaky little sister!

So in other thoughts going around in my head I created a new game for long car rides! Okay so if you have an iPod and the person sitting next to you has an iPod you can play Music Mixer! How to play is you take one earbud from you iPod and another from the other persons iPod. then you both randomly pick a song without showing the other person then start a count down to play the song. I played this with my Operation Barnabas buddy Jacob. His heavy metal and my accapella make weird combinations. Warning! do not play for more than forty minutes or you start getting headaches.

a word that should be banned

So today I'm writing a more serious post. I recently came a crossed a list of banned words for 2012. Words that are way over used and need to stop. The top banned word for this year is "Amazing." If you think about it how many times do you hear this in a day? These shoes are amazing! that movie was amazing! That hair is amazing! My dog is amazing!.......... Okay so if I get this straight, the shoes, movie, hair and dog have the same characteristics? Lets get more creative with our words people! Next time you get asked, "how was the movie" try something like, "Heartwarming," "Action packed," or "thrilling."

The things that concern me

Okay so we are in the twenty first century and there are things that trouble me. There are just inventions that concern me. There are things that have not been invented that concern me and there are role models that concern me. I mean its just little things but..... they need adressed.

Okay so in all the major achievements that we have accomplished and invented I want to know one thing: Why have they not invented toothpaste that won't ruin the taste of orange juice? I mean is it to much to ask? How long have we being with toothpaste that ruins orange juice and yet we have the Snuggie? The Snuggie! its like a blanket with sleeves!......... wasn't that called a sweat shirt? We have a lot of stupid inventions, this one would be nice so I can brush my teeth in the morning and enjoy a glass of OJ.

Another thing that concerns me is the Clapper, are we getting so lazy that we can't stand up, walk two feet turn off the light and then go back and sit down again? And what about when people are watching the football game. People start clapping the the lights will start turning on in off like a dance party. I sought that is good for the lights.

And finally I'm concerned in who we chose as top Pop/Rock artist, and best artist of the year. There are a lot of good singers in the world, why did we have to choose Justin Bieber? I mean come on, really america, you choose Bieber over all those other good singers out there? He already has a movie about his life, do we really need to keep giving him more reasons to love himself even more? But in light of that Justin Bieber might have won best Pop/Rock artist and best artist of the year, but he still hasn't won Salena Gomez's heart.  Zing!

Useless superpowers

Everyone loves superheroes right? Well here are some superheroes that you hopefully will never see in comics or the big screen.

Invisibility in the Dark man! the superpower to be invisible in the dark. Wait! we all have this power, awesome! As long as its pitch black no one will see us and we can fight crime!

Desaturation Man! the ability to desaturate! Well he's going to have a rather grey morning! Okay bad pun, lets move on.

Remote Controller! the ability to control the remote control, yep the ultimate couch potato power. This is would be a nice power when I lose the TV remote.

Bug man! the ability to revive bugs, this would work if the villain was scared of bugs, or if the villain was a little sister.

The lamp summoner! The ability to summon a lamp...... once. Oh this is really helpful, because there are situations all the time that require you to read a book in a dark room or someone will die.

There is an actual superhero who's power is truly useless and you wonder what the people that created her where thinking. Squirrel Girl from the marvel comics! her ability? she summons squirrels, one question, how is this helpful? I mean can you imagine? Stop! or I'll summon squirrels! The fact that she dated Wolverine scares me even more.

    

Thanksgiving Part 2!

So once again as a great day arrives to a close, I think back on the day....... Okay it seems like I just gather weird stories! Like i'm some sort of magnet that attracts weird things. Thankfully this story isn't about me.

So if you haven't already heard this story on the news your in for a good laugh and then a head scratch. So Kroger closed at 3:00p on Thanksgiving day and everyone went home to celebrate thanksgiving. Well sometime that night while the store was closed a police car drove past the Kroger doors and saw that they where wide open. Thinking that Kroger had been broken into the policeman runs into Kroger to to find around sixteen people, all trying to use the self check out......... I have a few questions, how did they get in, why didn't anyone remember it was closed, and didn't the notice that there was no workers around. I just try to picture this, sixteen people, in a closed store, trying to use a self check out, wondering why the heck it isn't working and then a policeman comes runing in....... I think they probably where a tad freaked out about the police man.

So after hearing about that story for most of the day while I worked I thought about later that night, dreaming about Thanksgiving part 2! See, my family had decided to have another thanks giving, which was great because I had worked the day before. So I get there and told my grandpa about the costumer with the weird zombie question (See last post for story). My grandfather went on to tell me about a neighbor that was convinced there was a demon living in the walls of there house. My grandpa goes over to the neighbors and the neighbors tell him that every time they flush the toilet something starts moving around in the walls. (yeah, cause demons hate when toilets flush. Everyone knows that!) My grandfather goes into the bathroom of the neighbors house and flushes, and sure enough he heard something that sounded like a bunch of elephants moving in the walls. My grandpa looks at the toilet and finds a small object had fallen in the clasp that stops the water from going into the toilet. Since there was an object in the clasp the water kept flowing and the toilet would flush twice sending a burst of water into the pipes, which were not held down correctly and where banging against the walls. My grandpa then pulls out the "Demon" and they didn't have a problem with a demon in the walls ever since.

there are my two weird stories for the day, I hope you enjoyed them as much as I did. Have a great day and beware of toilet demons.

So ends a day of thanks....... and weird questions.

So I would start a list of things I'm thankful for but it would be really long...... and full of random stuff. So I will only name a few, I am thankful for my Family, my Friends, my house, my Operation Barnabas Family, my car, my job........... and that someone bought out Hostess to I don't have to start a collection of twinkles to last me my whole life. (because my closet is getting full and i can't find my cloths anymore)

So I might as well tell you that working at a grocery store you would think that no weird stories would come from working there. I can tell you they do. I was checking out food for a costumer when he randomly out of the blue asks me, "So if your family turned into zombies would you kill them?"
So needless to say there was awkward silence trying to come up with an answer. Then pulling from my quick witt and amazing fast thinking skills I answered "............Um.......I like my family, no I wouldn't kill them."  What?! How would you answer that question?! "Yes I would totally kill them and make myself look like a psychopath and then live my whole life regretting that I killed my family!" What concerned me even more was later that day a guy came with a whole cart load of food and told me he was preparing for the zombie apocalypse......... And you people say my elevator doesn't go to the top floor.

Anyway, I'm all done for today. Have a great day, count your blessings and stay away from people who want to eat your brain.

Why no superheroes/faultiness of Iron Man movie plot lines

As of today, no superheroes exist, but needless to say I do believe they are in hiding waiting for the right moment. Why? Because with the current media a superheroes secret idenity would be found out in a day. Then the superhero would be caught and tested on. No I don't think that sounds to great for superheroes. 

On other matters I find that marvel needs to find a new idea for Iron Man 3. I know that would cut back production of the movie but seriously they need to come up with a new plot line. If you think this plot line is new you are sadly mistaken. Okay so in the first Iron Man, Iron Man builds a suit, someone steals the blueprints, builds his own suit and tries to kill Iron Man. Iron Man 2: Someone steals the blueprints, builds his own suit, tries to kill Iron Man. from the new trailer Iron man 3 will go something like this: Someone steals the blueprints, builds his own suit, tries to kill Iron man................ Okay so I don't know how to be concerned about this, We are either completely stupid for not seeing this right away or the maker of Iron Man needs to think up a villain without a iron man suit. I can think up a good plot line, An angry worker at Stark labs seeks revenge, gets shocked so badly it should have killed him, has the ability to control electricity, Shuts down Tony Starks suit with a power surge, and tries to kill Iron Man. Boom! I just thought up a better plot line for Iron Man 3 and it only took me five minutes! if I can say so my self "Joshua Welling for the win!"    

I Forgot About Josh In the Mornings

Welcome to my blog! This is for people who need a positive outlook at life, or just need to raise an eyebrow and scratch your head in confusion. Here I will post about how I'm doing, my weird thoughts on life, jokes that I pick up and anything else that comes to mind. I will start out my blogging by telling you why I named my blog I Forgot About Josh In the Mornings. I was at my Operation Barnabas reunion, (a reunion for a six week missions trip I went on for the summer for those of you who don't know) and it was the first morning when all the guys from the trip where together. We were all waking up and I was my usual chipper self in the mornings. I was going off on one of my odd thoughts and Trevor with a confused look on his face stops me right in the middle of my rant and said, "You know, I forgot about Josh in the mornings." To which my reply was, "That would be an amusing title for a TV show." So that is how the name of my blog came about. More stories of my random stupidity on Operation Barnabas will probably follow in future posts so you can understand where Trevor is coming from.
