Alarm clock set to arouse doziest of sleepers
ReutersMar. 22, 2005 03:10 PM
LONDON - Can't get out of bed in the morning?Scientists at MIT's Media Lab in the United States have invented an alarm clock called Clocky to make even the doziest sleepers, who repeatedly hit the snooze button, leap out of bed.After the snooze button is pressed, the clock, which is equipped with a set of wheels, rolls off the table to another part of the room."When the alarm sounds again, simply finding Clocky ought to be strenuous enough to prevent even the doziest owner from going back to sleep," New Scientist magazine said on Tuesday.

Here we go................................
I'm not really sure what to say.You see,I've been totally hesitant to post on here,because most of what I have to say is stuff everyone close to me already knows.I'm not even sure if there is anyone out there who reads my blog who doesn't already know how I'm doing lately...
Anyways,I'm going to attempt to create an interesting blog,mabye one that even people close to me will read,despite it's being re-hashed information.
So I've joined a church recently,It's mennonite church called "sunwest christian fellowship".In short,I couldn't be happier there.I've talked to another guy who recently joined the church this guy said the church totally instilled a new belief in christians and christianity in general,he said his belief in christianity was getting weak and this church totally made him turn a 180* (<----pretend that's a small circle,I don't feel like hunting out the code for the "degrees" sign)
anyways,my point is,that was my reaction to this church and these people.
I went to their college and career group at the begining of February,I sat on my own at one table and let my social anxiety trample me until someone came up to me and started chatting me up.So the routine of this C&C group is this:
We have half an hour of visiting and eating snack,then there is worship for half an hour a half hour message and then we break up into groups and discuss the topic that was spoken of.
This was a really good way for me to open up in front of my peers,It's a known fact that I have my beliefs and ideas and if there is a time when I think I have a point to add to the discussion or a disagreement I'll speak up.Anyways,it was when we broke up into group that people started introducing themselves to me and shaking my hand.I've now totally gotten accostomed to walking up to someone I don't know and saying "I don't think we've met my name is Caleb" and extending my hand.I haven't come across anyone who refused to shake my hand so I can't really see why I had a problem do this kind of thing in the past.......
So now,I've thourghly wedged myself into a small group of friends of about 10 people.I know most of the people there but this is the group that I hang out with after churhc and C&C and other select engagments.I hugely appriciate their acceptance of me,I feel totally free to be myself around these people,I don't feel judged or ignored,They're an extremly receptive bunch of people.I only hope I can learn to be as friendly to others as they were to me.
Anyways,I've grown bored of this topic and there isn't anything else I feel like saying right now,so this would be goodbye.
