Single & Christian? Play Solitaire.

I play a lot of solitaire. It's a bad habit. Have you ever noticed that you can't play just one game of solitaire? It's like trying to eat only one pistachio. Nevah gonna happen.

Anyways, as I'm playing solitaire, minding my own business, my phone requires me to see an ad prior to every game. Considering that I play approximately thirty-two hundred games each day, I see a lot of ads. What is interesting to me is that the ads are almost always for Christian dating sites.

Don't get me wrong: I don't have anything against dating sites. I also don't have anything against Christians dating. I'm an advocate. What I don't understand is why solitaire seems to be the place to flood these advertisements? Is there something about solitaire that says single? Okay...I concede. There may be something about card game apps that is synonymous with single and possibly desperate. Fair enough. But what, I wonder, does solitaire imply about my religion? Is spider solitaire dedicated to Catholicism? Sudoku more for  Judaism?  (Is there a Jewish dating website?)

It's very curious to me. I'd love to see their marketing plan. Although who knows? Maybe it's God trying to help me out!

Edit: After reading this, I acknowledge that there may be a connection between my solitaire addiction and my single status.

  

Books and Books and Books

I find that I have a difficult time posting a lot of the things that I write for this blog. They're either too personal, too silly sounding, or too half finished. What I never stop doing, though, is reading. This summer I have decided to do a book series with myself and I am going to post my thoughts and ramblings about said books on this blog. I figure I can do that because 1) it's my blog and 2) I think that it will give me a bridge to jump off of for other topics and give me things to write about. Anyways, that's what I'll be posting about over the next few months if the plan stays on track.

Who knows though. I've been talking to The People In Charge of my Life and it looks like I'll be working mornings at my internship (20 hours per work) and afternoons/evenings/weekends at the pool (40 hours per week). So I may only have spare time to sleep.
