| Hi! Been a long while, huh? Let's do a quick update! The past year: - Took Kung Fu for a year. (Still can't do a split.) - Took swimming classes. (I won't drown right away!) - Took on yoga at Yoga to the People. (Good sweaty fun.) - Went to therapy. (Forget the stereotypical connotations about it. Find the right one and it's a brillant, life changing process.) - Went to China for three weeks shortly after my birthday with grandparents, mom, and younger sis. - Met someone new and it's no honeymoon, fairy tale love. Better - it's real and adult and soul nourishing stuff. - Moved outta my parents' home! - Started another part-time job as a teacher assistant at Kumon. - Going on another trip to Ecuador w/the someone new for a week at the end of April. And that's about it in the short. Lots of good stuff in a year. Wow, a year. How does time sneak on by like that so quickly? What about my reading list, you say? Lets see if I can remember: - "Eat, Pray, Love" Elizabeth Gilber - "The House of Paper" Carlos Maria Dominguez - "Unbearable Lightness" Portia De Rossi - "Oscar Wilde" Junot Diaz - "Memoirs of A Beatnik" Diane Di Prima - "The Alchemist" Paulo Coelho" - "By Nightfall" Michael Cunningham - "Kingdom of Ordinary Times" Marie Howe - Random mangas and other books I forgot. - Just starting,"Let The Great World Spin" by Colum McCann Any suggestions, and please don't say "The Girl with The Dragon Tattoo". I'm sure it's great, but I tried the first 15 pages before I just had to return it to the library. I watched the movie so I believe people when they say the story is amazing, but just not my cup or tea. Okay, all I got time for, loves. Off to be a productive being, or take a nap. Super high five peace sign off! | | |
| Ever been in a relationship that everyone can clearly see you shouldn't be in? All my friends (even our mutal friends) think I love her more than she loves me. It's shown from day one supposedly. I guess it doesn't matter now that she ended it almost 2 months ago, the second time around. Why does the heart crave what it can't have? I know she's not good for me. I know I'm there for her 110%. I know I'm her best friend. I know I could do better. I know there's someone out there who will fight for me, and not turn their back cause its easier. So why? Dear, dear, foolish heart... Hold strong, don't call, don't falter, don't ache, don't stay up late at night avoiding thoughts of her - don't, don't, don't... When did the fetal position feel so good? One foot in front of the other, one breathe in after the other, and fate will bolt the door behind. Nothing but distant memories up ahead, dear. So lay my head down and dream of tomorrow. Tomorrow, tomorrow, tomorrow... | | |
| It seems we - No, "I" because I can't speak for the general society... So, I think I've equated love and happiness as a couple for a long time now. I'm not talking about realitonships, but a career - the major consumption of time in life. If I do something I love = I'll be happy. I love writing, but I don't think I'll exactly be happy doing it. I'm happy around kids and when I'm helping others. I just light up whether I want to or not when I see a chubby little guy/gal. If I can make them smile I forget every crappy thing that's happened that day. But, I don't think I would love teaching or working at day care center. I'm just at this crossroad trying to pick one that I'll be ok with, not even something that will fit or be perfect, just ok - for now. I have always been drawn to professions or hobbies that aren't known to lead to riches. I don't think I'll ever be rich or famous, but I'll always be ok. I'll always be one of the lucky. I'm just confused, I guess. I took this year off after graduating, and I'm only working part-time should I choose to go back to school. The time limit is dripping down to a standstill. What do I do when it comes time to make time move again? Eh... whatever. That's my number one saying, because it's life and life is full of mistakes. Better I accept what mistakes come rather than fight it or be in denial. So, love? Happiness? Such grandiose words that have no real meaning. They pack everything and anything into it that if you tried to explain it, it would be like trying to explain to a kid why adults decided to let Bush run America for 8 years in a row. I'm gonna go watch David Letterman. Let the confusion continue! But with a little laughter. | | |
| Heh, I'm watching Queer As Folk, hence the tilte. It's been a while, huh? So, the update... -- Over the one year hump with my girlfriend  -- Classes start tomorrow and it's 2:41 AM  This semester and next and NO MORE!!! -- And I did a BIG no-no...  So the no-no... Okay, try not to hate me. I didn't hang out with my best friend and I pretty much didn't talk to her the whole summer. The truthful excuse... I'd be tired or I didn't feel like hanging out with anyone except for my girlfriend at the end of the day. Straight to it, I've turned into one of those friends that disappears into a relationship. Seriously, I can't believe I've turned myself into that. I'm still kind of in denial. I'm seriously making up excuses in my head as I'm typing this. We've hung out with mutal friends, but my girl is a little shy and my best bud is completely open. Okay, okay, that's not the point. Ah... I'm bad. It doesn't help that I haven't had a cell phone for the past few months. My phone went blah and I've been reluctant to buy a new one. So... yea, bad, bad, bad... Have any of you out in the xanga world ever done one of the ultimate friend no-no's? Oh, I'm trying, sigh, truthfully, half-heartedly, to talk to her. I don't know. I know I'm in the wrong, but I can't get myself out there. I will! I will! I will stop it! | | |
| Man, I never thought it could happen, but I am sick of school. I can't wait to get a job that doesn't entail ten page papers, mid-terms, finals, short response papers, mid-semester portfolio, final portfolio, presentations, and mass amounts of books I could care less for. Hm... then again, there are people who have jobs where it's similar. Anyone here have to deal with that at work? Summer! Bring it on!!! I am taking a class, but it's art. Shouldn't be too bad, right? The hard part is what I do after I graduate... Hm... Suggestions besides the obvious? Anyone with openings at work? I work hard, good with details, good w/people or with working alone, I learn fairly fast, fairly good problem solver, and a fairly good leader. Procrastination! Who really wants to do a paper and two presentations? How is everyone? | | |
