Midnight Snack... at 11:41

I'm currently making a midnight snack of Velveeta Mac and Cheese, jealous I know. I needed something to do while my noodles are boiling. If I don't stay busy I tend to hover, this happens at the microwave too, they tell you that gives you cancer. I think living gives you cancer, eventually. My Grandfather lived a very healthy lifestyle, minimal microwave hovering and he still got cancer. Granted he was a smoker... but he didn't suffer from lunch cancer. It's funny the things they tell you to do or not to do and the reasons they give to justify them. My midnight snack just got a little too serious for me so...

EDIT: 1/27/15 I just read over this an realized that it sounds incredibly depressing so I'd like to expand on my point with a slightly less depressing example. My point is there are so many things we accept as fact because of their source, or sometimes simply because they've heard it for some long. Take police officers, they are authority figures which we are taught to respect and obey. Officers of the law are able to push their will on individuals who don't have a full knowledge of the law. We as Americans have rights but we forfeit those rights, right to refuse a search without probable cause, simply because we trust their knowledge more than our own. The same way that when our parents told us about the tooth fairy or our siblings told stories of the boogie man we accepted them as fact without considering the validity. We respond to authority like that of the doctor in my more depressing example above.

More later...
