2:39 am	random stuff There was no "stuff" category... oh well, C'est La Vie, as the category states, Currently packing to head to Disneyland, well as can probably be seen from the fact that I'm typing I'm taking a break... a rather extended break at that... Anyway... I'm definately looking forward to the trip, and yes even hanging with my four pre-teen cousins, adds to the fun of Disneyland right? And yes I will say "Hi" to Mickey for all you people who've asked me to, and try to get a picture with Mr. Cool from the Incredibles as I was told to. Hmmmm there was a reason I was posting this other than randomly blabbing as I am want to do... Random Thoughts for Today: Went into Target, saw that there's a group called "Trick Daddy," Wonder if it's copyrighted, and if my friend Jeff has to pay 5 cents every time he calls me that... If this is called Myspace why is it a networking/sharing site? Theoretically it would be more like a journal or diary, but even Livejournal is public... I understand you can set a profile to private but what's the point? might as well just type a word document... hmmm what should it be called? Sharespace? Ourspace? Outerspace? Anyway have fun to you all, I'll see you in school or speak with you when I next see you, hopefully it will be a well balanced and inspiring conversation. Thoughts Current mood: pensive Category: reflective Life Today: So I spent all of today going over Justin's blogs (after realizing more existed than just the top 5), commenting here, and commenting there. Also went to see Eragorn, very good movie, very different from the book (took out several pieces) but took the good parts and left a lot of the dark depressing parts out, so all in all I'm satisfied. Random Thoughts: I live in Tucson, ... Arizona, ... a desert - about as far from Juneau (climactically) as is possible. Desert - slow, unchanging, steady, semi-constant Water - movement, constant change, no set way of being, completely adaptive and I wonder why it's taken me this long to adjust? ... Damn that Ego and it's neverending quest after perfection. Art is difficult until you think about what you're trying to express, then it's impossible, until you feel it and let go of your mind, then it's effortless China - I'm doing my very best to go there this summer for a couple months... I don't want to jinx it by saying "I'm Going" cause then Murphy would have a hay-day with me and my "plans", so as of now I'm "doing my best"... Be that as it may, so far I have: a place to stay (a friend's best friend's place in wenzhou (little south of Shanghai)), an occupation (teaching/speaking English with people), and lots of hope. Disneyland - am going there with my dad, my uncle, my aunt, said uncle and aunt's four children, and my aunt's sister. Should be fun, we leave this Saturday morning, and come back after the first day of school, not so good, but hopefully my teachers will respond to the email I sent them and not simply delete me from the class... Got one response right away which was good... and another today... now just 2 more... Mr. Sandman - should be sending me some dreams here pretty quickly as it's getting late. Unfortunately he hasn't sent me someone yet, but I'm hoping one of these days he'll send me the right girl. "Mr. Sandman, send me a dream, make her the cutest that I've ever seen, Give her two lips like roses and clover, and tell her that her lonesome nights are over!" I'm sure he'll get right on that... but if not then at least I'll be asleep and dreaming. Adieu! (Comment on this)

7:43 pm	twitchification Just got back from Disneyland ... now I need a vacation,,, I dearly love my cousins (btw they are 10, 9, 6 and 4) and my aunt and uncle are wonderful, however trying to keep the kids from 1) killing innocent bystanders 2) killing each other 3) being killed by passing strollers/park rides 4) boredom 5) exhaustion basicaly normal parenting... only multiplied times 4, then doubled, tripled, quintoupled, and then run through a logrithmic scale of powers starting with a google... Other than that... the rides were great... said hi to mickey... got a pic with Mr. Cool... spent a bajillion dollars... and basically had far too much fun! And now to go back to work! Thoughts: ... sleep... ...Waking up to a child jumping on your chest is a bit disconcerting... Random: Ocean (saw it on the drive back) - it's amazing how free and vibrantly green it is. I'm still waiting for the Tucson to become beachfront property... I feel sorry for those who would lose from this, but it was their choice to settle west of the fault line... hmmm CO2 cycles creating oceanic floors which then become deserts, and cause our water to taste like crap... guess it's just another cycle of life Starbucks needs to get a foothold in Disney... Nestle's coffee sucks... horribly... trust me, i found out many times, thinking "Well it was only Mostly twitchifying, maybe this time it'll be a little more palatable" you get it, and realize that yes it is drinkable, and it does wake you up... but that's about it... Current Mood: twitching in a good way (Comment on this)
7:39 pm	exhaustion exhaustion Current mood: exhausted Category: in a good way Life hmmm the term "vacation" is very misleading... Disneyland is a wonder of marvelous contraptions built for the traveler to find fun and excitement... at the measly expense of a few *cough* hundred dollars... and, if one happens to be going through this experience with one's four cousins (which I am)... see the subject line for a description of existence... However I must mention that it is a wonderful sort of exhaustion, the kind where you feel vindicated in your existence due to your aiding in the growth experiences that occur in the lives of those beings dear and close to oneself. Life is excellent If a person is acting as a character who's personality is one-sided we call it a characture, but if they're a one-sided individual acting as a well balanced character we call them "bad."

11:21 am	Random Angst Random Angst few things i think need to be said: 0) I'm new to this whole blogging thing but feel like i have to say something and maybe this'll work... shrug, i'll jsut copy and paste it into live journal... should i make it a note on Facebook? who knows 1) (on to the things currently under complaint) I HATE PAPERS! I don't mind writing them sometimes if it's something that is opinion, you can then simply BS and it all turns out true, cause opinions (in an opinion essay) are the entire point, and BS is all about stating an opinion and going off on it and why and how and basically ... blogging i guess.... *ahem anyway.... that being said, i'm rather happy to be over halfway (if just...) of my 10 page paper (went from being 10 to 11 to 13 in my mind... probably due to the sheer massive thought gaps within my brain, but in this i'm happy to find i have less) other than that i would simply like to say that we should be able to give just the books we read (or the part we read of them) in as a collection of what we would talk about, and add to that a page or so of original thought that made connections between the two... ahhh if only... and now for my second thing: 2) it seems that my capacity for being misunderstood is coming from my capacity to communicate (or lack thereof...) and as you read this... if it's being read... *shrug if not then at least it's out there right? anyway as you read this i'm working on re-defining my vocabulary, so if you hear me say a word, and you don't know what it means, or have a different understanding of it than i seem to, please let me know, because it seems i'm not saying what i mean, and as i've almost lost a friend over it. I don't want the same thing to occur again based on a word or an idea that is not meant. Not saying i'll alter my world, but I'll look up the word, see what it means, and either continue to use it as i have but in different company (and substitute something easier to understand) or change the way i use it, or quit life and fall of the edge of the planet... or not, and simply not use the word or change the way i do... or something like that.... I hate not being able to communicate, it sucks, but it sucks even more when i feel like i've lost a friend because of a misunderstanding. and even if i didn't "lose" a friend, i've lost their trust, which amounts to the same thing, or something similar enough to be semi-indistinguishable. And how did this happen? was it somethign that just happened? Nope! it was because i was set enough in my own ego to think i knew how every word would be taken, and to assume that the world revolved around me... SURPRISE! it doesn't... hmmm well i think i've aired my emotions enough for now, look forward to another installment when things next boil over... and if you didn't like this one, ... dont' read the next ... if there is one...
