Money.

Tonight on the special Thanksgiving episode of "Deal or No Deal" a man was surprised when he found out he was playing for 2 million dollars instead of the usual 1 million. It was a nail biter.

There was a point when the man was doing very well. He still had the top 3 amounts in the game: 750 thousand, 1 million and the 2 million.

Howie Mandel (a long time idol of mine) asked the man what he plans on doing with the money he wins. The man said, "I just want to buy my wife a new car..." and he went on to talk about how his wife drives a prehistoric vehicle that has over 300 thousand miles on it. And it was a sweet moment when everyone said "Aww."

I thought it was nice too. Then I changed my mind.

The banker made him an offer of 222 thousand dollars. That's so much money. Guaranteed.
The man turned down the 222 thousand dollars of the money that was guaranteed to him.

The man was a fake.

222 thousand dollars is more than enough to buy your wife and the rest of your family brand new cars. When he was told he was being offered 222 thousand I could see Howie Mandel's words going in one ear and out the other. The guy didn't even think twice about turning it down. His wife's new car was not an issue at all anymore. HE wanted more.

The very next case he opened was the 2 million dollar case. He, along with everyone else there, was devastated. He had just lost the possibility of 2 million dollars. He looked sick.

The greedy bastard didn't care that there was still a possibility of 1 million dollars that was what he thought he was playing for in the first place.

Eventually the man lost almost everything, and he came out with like 50 thousand or something. Which is still a lot of money. But, he was unsatisfied. Serves him right. I hope this guy is kicking himself in the ass though.

You may be thinking, shut up Brody, if you were playing for 2 million you would've turned down 222 thousand too.

You're wrong. If I was that guy, I would've been playing for my wife's new car. 222 thousand would've been such a blessing. He had two young kids too. He could've sent them both to college with that money.

Lesson learned hopefully.

Make the world turn man.

So, I made this new friend at work, his name is Ross.

Ross is literally the most Christ like person I know. And I can't say for sure, but I'm almost positive he's not affiliated with any sort of religion. Basically he couldn't care less about being a Christian.

I admire Ross for so many things. One thing being that, if I told him I admired him he would probably giggle and sincerely ask me why, and doubt and disagree with every word I said to explain myself.

Ross, is the brightest light in Muncie thus far.

How can it be that a fish in the sea can feel completely alone?

Maybe I don't have as many friends as you. But I have enough good friends to make me as happy as I need to be. 

Also, my new favorite quote/thing to think about:

"God takes care of himself, and you of you." - Modest Mouse

Maybe I'm wrong

"Don't smoke, drink, chew, or go with girls who do."

I have heard this my whole life. It's an easy way to remember the difference between right and wrong. For some people, it's literally what their faith is based around.

Although I have not always necessarily always followed those rules, it's because I feel like I have an actual relationship and I know where I stand with Jesus. I don't need to think about things I do by filtering them through that sentence. That's all that is; a sentence. Not a "Christ-like mindset."

Some people live their lives by book. That's awesome. Good for them. I can't do it.

Some people live their lives doing the best they can. I feel like I fit into that category most of the time.

Some people live their lives by that damn sentence. That's not love, nor Christ-likeness. God is not involved in that sentence no matter how much it sounds like the "Christian way of thinking." They don't realize it, but God is not in the picture at all.

Oh well. I can't complain, I didn't vote.
