  • So last night I had one of the worst nights I've had in a long time. Starting at 10:30, from when I got home, I did 5 hours straight of homework, attempting and failing to sleep at 3:30am after writing my first paper. I was so sad I couldn't keep myself from crying. All I wanted to do was write it down here; why oh why did my shitty internet have to choose that particular moment to refuse to connect? I tried sleeping again. It worked eventually; I'm pretty sure I got about 4.5 hours of sleep however.

    In have no money. Every penny I have is spoken for, whether it's food or gas money to get to school. It's interesting. I have enough to just live. I kind of like it, and I'm getting used to it. I mean, I'm looking for a job that will be able to provide me with more money, but it's very humbling. I think humbling situations are important to experience.

    Well I thought I was in a bigger mood to blog; apparently I'm not.

    Besides, I don't want to get myself down.

  • 6 years, one man

    So I just watched: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6B26asyGKDo&feature=related.

    First of all, most of the reason this touched me is (you guessed it) the piano. It's constant flowing melody that had chord progressions and dynamics, etc, still lent itself to the fact that the pictures remain relatively similar throughout time. Anyway... it got me to thinking. Which takes some effort. Sometimes I have to guide my thoughts through things. I was thinking about (somehow) how people visualize and perceive life as a thing as an individual, a participant. I first thought people take life too seriously, and then I realized, no, of course that's not it, this video wouldn't encourage me to think less seriously. So then I thought people take life too light-heartedly, and need to be more serious. But that can't be it either, because I'm definitely not one to encourage too many serious thoughts. Then I think I found what I was trying to think... people just take life too. Period. Too much? Sure. I think we get lost in the everyday activities that surround and envelope our life, like work, school, homework, finances, etc. Life is a thing in and of itself, and it shouldn't be let to sit by the wayside while we worry about how we'll make next months rent (my issue!) or when our next paycheck will be.

    I feel that if one concerns oneself with enjoying life as the existing, continual gift it is, and recognize that no matter what happens with our rent, the one thing we will always have behind us to count on is our relationships with others. I suggest preening these, praising your friends for all the happiness they provide, cherishing our families above all else, and remembering that tomorrow, should the police come repossess your car, your family will still be there for you.

    This is preachy, but whatever. Stop taking life! Start giving back. Or at least relishing in all it's continuous beauty. And if that means looking out at our world today and seeing a lack of beauty (I for one, regardless of everything, will always see our world as beautiful) do something. Even something little. Those little cloth grocery bags? Buy one.






    Ok! Now that that's out of my system.... Have a great holiday weekend. Welcome back to school!

  • Jumping back onto the not-so-bandwagon...

    Let's start off with some poetry, shall we? (Seeing as I am now an English major.)

                       "Do I dare to eat a peach?"

    Yep, that's it. Do I dare...? We'll find out. Perhaps this is all about self-exploration. Perhaps it's adding that bit of me to the internets my now-boyfriend is always sermonizing about. If I'm on the internet, he'll find me.

    I don't think I feel much like going into any sort of life-detail right now. I'm hopefully on an upswing, and looking back on my incredibly depressing (ha!) downswing seems a bit... depressing.

    -Do I have any readers?-

  • I saw Angels in America with my Freshman Seminar group today. I don't believe anyone with a soul could watch that and not be affected in some way. Two parts that stood out for me include:

    1) The main woman characted of the play, with whom I could, unfortunately, relate to a a pretty large scale, says the following (paraphrased): "People are like planets; they need a fixed point to [orbit] around."

    2) The one gay man was telling his boyfriend about his illness, and the boyfriend was upset that he had not been told earlier. In response, the boyfriend says something like: "When I tell you things like this, I end up comforting you." And this is true, and the reason I'm sure most people keep things to themselves- you always end up trying to convince the person that you're really ok and that nothing's really wrong. Which of course isn't the case or anything.

    That's all I have the energy for right now...
