for example: when im done charging my phone or PS3 controller, im convinced its heavier when in reality its not. or after i fill my car up with gas after driving on E for 2 days im positive that it runs better than before when its still the same piece of shit.

similiar to your gas thing, whenever I get an oil change (especially since I let it go 5-6 thousand miles on my beater) I feel like the thing is healthy again

for some reason, whenever i go to starbucks i think i can ONLY order from what's on the menu. although people tell me i can order whatever i want.

for example, a green tea frap is not on the menu. but i can ask for one anyway

if you do this, PM me your experience lol

saw a post on tumblr that went like this

Secret Starbucks Menu:

  • Biscotti Frapuccino: Buy a biscotti and ask the barista to blend it up with any flavor of frapuccino. It blends into tiny cookie chunks that adds a delicious little crunch to your frozen coffee.
  • Captain Crunch: Strawberries and creme frappe with a pump of caramel, two pumps of toffee, one pump of hazelnut, and two scoops of chocolate chips.
  • Neopolitan Frappucino: Ask for a strawberries and cream frappucino with some vanilla bean powder and a pump of mocha.
  • Raspberry Cheesecake: Order a white chocolate mocha (iced, hot, or as a frappe) and add a few pumps of raspberry
  • For a chocolate turtle flavor: Any drink that has mocha, caramel, and toffee nut.
  • For a French vanilla flavor: Any drink that has half toffee nut and half vanilla.
  • Blended strawberry lemonade: Basically a strawberry lemonade frappucino.
  • Oreo frappucino: Ask for a double chocolate chip frappe with white mocha syrup instead of the regular mocha.
  • Tuxedo mocha: Order a regular mocha with half white chocolate and half regular chocolate. This is also known as the zebra mocha.
  • The Nutella: Order a Cafe Misto with a pump of chocolate, a pump of hazelnut with caramel drizzle. For the sweet toothed people, you can also ask for caramel drizzle inside the cup.
  • Super Cream Frappucino: Ask the barista to blend some whipped cream into the drink so that the drink will be more smooth than icy. This works especially well for the mocha frappucino.
  • Three C’s: Order a cinnamon Dolce latte with a pump of caramel and a pump of chocolate mocha syrup.
  • Chocolate Pumpkin: Order a pumpkin spice latte with chocolate syrup for a drink that tastes just like pumpkin chocolate chip bread. It also tastes great in Frappuccino form.

somewhat mental, but music has the potential to change my attitude completely. listening to a few sad songs can get me down, but in the same way, i can throw on some great songs and feel on top of the world for the rest of the day, it's pretty cool.

i'm convinced time goes by faster if i don't look at the clock, and it does to some extent.

i feel like keeping my bracelets on during soccer/hockey/lax games and just taping over them makes me play better than if i take them off


in reality though, 90 to 99 percent of life is mental. in a way you can completely control your emotions, and you have just about everything you need in order to be successful, it's just all about how you use it.

another example: when i pay $35.00 for a cup of coffee that has a bunch of "-chinos" as a suffix im convinced its better than any brand that i can brew at home.

i can swear that when you talk to a girl on the phone and she has a nice voice and cute laugh that she's going to be really good looking. even though you know she's probably some lard ass bitch who's just really sweet, you can almost picture that fine body that matches the voice.


fuck that's a buzz kill when you actually meet the girl..

I think if I wear matching socks I will have a better day. Conversely if my socks don't match I always tell myself in the morning, "I hope nothing shitty happens today"

I feel the same way about gas - I'm sure it is.

Either that or our driving styles change because we are less concerned about running out.
