Wishing for:
Roses, Stars, Beach and a long walk with someone special.

I realize that my lack of proof reading has lead to certain mispellngs as well as fatal missing words that really result in statements opposite in meaning from what I had intended.
A lonesome soul's awake at three,
One arrow, one life: this is the essense of Kyudo, the Japanese art of archery. It refers to the belief that the way one shoots an arrow is the way one leads his entire life. Therefore, things that are wrong are to be fixed as they happen, for what we sacrifice by procrastinating is all our future chances. It is a philosophy that believes in the present, that one should not be preoccupied with past successes or failures; neither should one be preoccupied with future success or failure, for in doing either, we would be messing up this moment. One should focus on the task at hand, and not be distracted by the rest of the world. Nothing else matters, only the present.
Stone Mountain rox! It's like the biggest piece of rock I've ever seen. Interestingly, there is shrimp in the tiny pools on the mountain. Apparently the cysts of these shrimp pass through the digestive tracks of birds and certain mammals undigested and spawn whenever there is sufficient water. The view from the top of the mountain is breath taking. I would definitely love to go back there again.
It rox. I had so much fun at Chewbacca State Park today with Brittany, Jennifer, Sam and Marie. I fell into the stream! Ahahaha first time for everything I guess. I'm just glad my phone got revived. Sam hit Jennifer with a rock! I was last on the trail, and saw a rock fly past and then looked up to see Jennifer start to cry. I thought the rock had hit her head or something... turns out it hit her on the finger. I guess she was just being a girl. (For the girls reading this, it means "girls have a low threshold of pain tolerance.") Well... it did have a red spot, which means internal bleeding, so I guess it might have been pretty painful. I take back that comment about her being a just a girl then. Brittany drives her 626 like a sports car. She likes to throw her passengers around! I'm not complaining... I was sitting two girls on the way back... haha dun really matter which way I fall. I think she's the only girl I know who runs down a rocky hillside in sandals. ¡Salud! :D Riding in her car made me realize that my eclipse has pretty little low-end torque. Or maybe that's just because she has a heavier foot than I do. Oh well, I guess that makes the ride smoother, but gives the passengers a misleading impression that it is slower than it really is.
I was reading my favorite webcomic, the Irregular Webcomic when the question of what happens to our websites when we die crossed my mind. I remember that a while back, just after the 911 attacks, Yahoo was in a spot for refusing to release the email passwords of the victims to the family members.
When you try your best but you don't succeed
Nice guys do not finish last. They don't finish at all.
I guess some people will call me nice. I think that's just because I don't vocalize my nasty thoughts. But, that's being nice too isn't it? Now I have to thank my mother for bringing me up this way. Being the eldest child, I inherited her youthful hopeful ideals of fairness, honesty and civility before experience made her impart more "useful" attributes to her children. Now, if only I was less messy, more hardworking and had better control over my finances, I would be an outstanding person. I guess different people are meant to lead different lives.
Almost two years ago, a change started to happen. It wasn't obvious in the beginning, but I'm happy to say that after two years of internal reflection, I'm a changed person. Although I still worry over nothing sometimes, I do that a lot less now. I remember I used to be a person who needed guarantees, and instant gratification. I remember I used to flit from one girl to another. I remember I used to do nothing sometimes because I thought that they were not worth it.
Can someone please tell me which song the above lyrics are from? I think it was in a swatch or other commercial some time back.
WTF? I have 8 hits today already. I know I know, this blog is becoming boring... I'll try harder next time...
Been very busy and tired this whole week. No energy or inclination to talk about anything except to mention that things are going well.
Creationism has no basis in science and has no place in science class. It amazes me that 45% of Americans would prefer creationism to be mentioned alongside Darwin's Theory of Natural Selection in science class. Then again, it does not amaze me. After all, they voted for the President Chimpanzee.
