Birmingham, Alabama got treated to a special cloudy day, thanks to some Kelvin-Helmholtz waves, shown above. When a layer of faster moving fluid shears a slower moving fluid, this instability can form and cause some spectacular mixing. In this case, the lower, slower fluid was cool and moist enough to contain clouds, enabling us to see the effect with the naked eye. The same mechanism is responsible for the shape of breaking ocean waves and can even be seen in the atmospheres of gas giants like Saturn and Jupiter.

I would've thought the sky was falling

Ticket to Hell
So granted there is this place called Hell I could possibly end up in, I reckon I will.
true story: So a friend of mine's Mom's heart gave out or something and she was rushed to the hospital and due for potential surgery. and I had a conversation with God that day--a full frontal prayer--a proposition that if he gave my friend's mom good health again, I would no longer question his faith.
Present day, her moms doing fine and hating me more than ever, and I just wrote the following post. soO. I think going back on our deal is enough to save me a spot in Purgatory. Also, if her Mom falls ill again, I'm probably responsible.

Caution: Post on Religion
I remember... It was the summer before my senior year. My friend and I were having a conversation and it briefly but completely branched off on religion. And she was explaining to me how her boyfriend had put this and that in her head and it was beginning to make her question her faith/religion. I was still counted for as a christian at the time, and I remember feeling scared for her... like yo, you're christian too, snap out of it. Then she directed the questions to me such as---"Do you believe in God? why are you a christian?" My answer was yes and I scrambled together whatever supportive answer I could. She wasn't pushing me to look at things one way or another, but from that day forward, I have progressively removed myself further and further away from it all. It's all the same, how much you're influenced comes straight from how you parents or guardians raised you. Just like political views. People don't think as much for themselves as they think they do.
Besides the fact that the whole bible story (from what I've heard) seems pretty far-fetched.. I guess one of my main problems is with how religion is practiced. I just feel like people depend on, or use religion as too much of an excuse. My favorite example-which can be heavily exaggerated and still make perfect sense--perhaps someone studies for a test. gets a good grade on it. praises the Lord for the A they received. Yo, you did that. Jesus/God gets all the credentials when something goes really good or really wrong. I also don't believe in fate/destiny/everything happens for a reason. I believe you have to be a little bit more proactive to get things you want in life, and even when you do that, it's not guaranteed. Also, I don't believe God would hate anybody for loving someone else too immensely.
It actually surprises me how many people are religious.. but do not be mistaken, I don't frown upon it whatsoever. Believing in anything so passionately, be it obscene, is beautiful ..in almost an artistic kind of way.
whatever. just make these decisions on your own, eh... I hope I haven't influenced anybody

Christmas Wish list
Laurel Holloman original piece.. I want the big canvas joint in my life.. tight...
iPhone case since I've already cracked my phone. 89-250$
either one of these
115-199$
I know it's cliche.. and I probably won't wear them after I cop like the others, but it would have been nice to scoop these just because. I think I'll just invest later when I get some extra cash.
I think the scarfs like 105$.. not sure the beanies
