This is my life
« Previous EntriesGraduation is a silly thing.
Sunday, July 25th, 2010Graduating college is a ridiculous thing to do.
The night before is ridiculous.
The morning before is ridiculous.
The ceremony is ridiculous.
The faux diploma (difauxma?) is ridiculous.
The traffic afterwards is ridiculous.
The idea that you are in some way more qualified to do stuff, ready to move places (emotionally or physically), or that you are more valuable [...]
What are we *now*?
Thursday, April 29th, 2010I am wrapping up my last real semester in college in the next 7 days, and I’m experiencing a variety of extremely interesting feelings. The intention of this post is simultaneously to remind my fingers how to type, as I am not quite finished yet, as well as to convey to the people I love [...]
Wake Up and Graduate
Wednesday, April 21st, 2010We were in a van, crowded, comfortable. On the way to a stadium, at which the Redskins play football, and it happened to be Georgetown University.
The stars were beautiful. I thought they might have been just moonlight hitting countless clouds in the sky. Perfection. One of the most beautiful things I’ve ever experienced. I was [...]

Wednesday, March 31st, 2010and you don’t understand the way that I feel
and it’s not nearly my own fault.
and it’s not yours.
and that’s why we need to let it be.
and he doesn’t understand either, but he does just that.
and she doesn’t even know.
but she would if she did.
and you, of all, you. you don’t do anything.
but for me you [...]
Language, Qualms, and Toki Pona
Sunday, March 21st, 2010So I have been considering systematically eliminating words from my daily conversations. I don’t know the way I’d do it, but something like a random number generator that selects a word from a list, perhaps starting with a list of nouns, and not using that word. Anyway, I don’t think I’m going to actually follow [...]
Things: We Forget To See God
Monday, February 1st, 2010In a very similar style to the evolution/discovery of a mantra from a while back… I am frustrated with my abilities regarding expressing myself. What do I mean when I say certain things? A simple expression of how I’m feeling turns out to hold a lot more. Dissecting my thoughts as follows reveals a bit [...]
You Will Do It
Wednesday, January 27th, 2010I found a piece of paper in my desk. It had questions typed on it. I had written answers. Here they are.
Your History?
∞
Your Future?
I have been broken, lost, patched up, and fallen to dust. From the mud I have risen up, not to anything more or less than a perfect creation of God. I have [...]
Lucy and I
Saturday, January 9th, 2010The following is the exact text of a paper I wrote for a psychology class last semester. The assignment was to write about a part of my life that affected my total development. I wrote about the girl whom I’m having lunch with in 45 minutes.
Lucy and I
I will call her Lucy in this paper. [...]
Standing in the Hurricane
Wednesday, January 6th, 2010Your weaknesses are your strongest points; your greatest potential for growth, learning, understanding, and to spread knowledge. The universe has a great ability to manifest the perfect storm for you. Your perfect storm. Maybe you should run from it and wait for four more tornadoes to show up, or maybe you should just brace yourself [...]
Step Towards Peace: 1
Tuesday, January 5th, 2010Drink tea.
Drink coffee, drink milk, drink water, drink juice, drink viper blood. It doesn’t really matter. Drink something. Really drink something.
You have 24 hours tomorrow, that’s 1,440 minutes. I promise you that you can find 10 minutes in there to do nothing but sip, smell, taste, feel, swallow, and smile. It’s not that we don’t [...]
