Unavoidable?

Tuesday. Second Monday. Lacking.....
Love: the essence of my deepest joy. It bursts through me like lightning jumps through the clouds. It is the reason for my smiling face, and it is the reason for my broken heart.
In the resent days I have been thinking about love. There are many things, and many people that I love. Love is what pushes me to be the best person I can be. It helps me to clearly see the great things in life. It keeps me floating. Love also tears me apart. It is the reason for my deepest sadness. It causes me to close in. Am I scared of love? Yes. But there is not a single part of me that doesn't want to take the risk.

Determination

Monday, Monday, Monday.
So, I decided last night that this is going to be a good week. It has to be. I am not going to allow it not to be. There are only a few things out of my control that could cause problems. But I am going to be avoiding those. Now, I can't really control my level of sadness. I just am saying that it is going to be a good week.
Things I would like to see happen this week...
-Stay rested
-Go for a morning walk (maybe more than once)
-Have some nice conversations
-Expand my musical vocabulary
-Start reading a new book
-Watch the clouds
-Finish writing my poem
-Research the great red wood trees.
-Play guitar
-Grab the magic bullet from the basement and make smoothies.
(that is all I can think of off the top of my head)

Anyway... I am at school right now. Nothing like school to smack average in your face. But I just had Chemistry, and I was laughing...so I guess it was pretty good. Now I am in Print Design (of course) and I am studying for a biology unit final. Yay. I purposefully left the book I am reading at home to ensure intense concentration on studying. Let us hope I do well. Anybody know the nitrogen cycle off the top of their head? I didn't think so. I had a quiz last week on various chemical cycles. I could only remember the pictures in the diagrams. Haha Visual learner? I guess so.
I should really get back to studying. Much more to blog about later. Maybe even tonight. We will see.

Have a happy day.

Music and Pasta

Oh Saturday...why must you play tug of war with me?
I enjoy Saturdays. They are often a good day of the week. Sometimes they spin me all around though. Like today. But the end of the week is near. Time to prep for the coming days.
Exciting fact of the week: I am going to see Metric in concert. Amazing? Yes. With much stress and excitement, it is official. Claire is amazing, end of story. Thank you X100000. Metric is awesome. Their new CD 'Fantasies' is fantastic. I have listened to it so much that track 4 is skipping. Haha That might not be my fault though, I have lent it out to a lot of people. Just spreading the greatness....that's all. =) Again, I am cutting a blog short. I will make up for it later.

Enjoy the rest of your weekend!

Ps. I love pasta.

Many Thoughts - With Little Time.

It is Friday. I did not write a blog yesterday. I also do not have a good reason for not doing so.

Time is dragging. It feels like I have experienced a life time in just one week. I might be tired, but I don't really think so. I am just ready for this week to be done. Apparently blogging is a sad thing to do. I can see how it is... but I am determined to keep this blog light and somewhat interesting. What is interesting, is that some of the best writing of all time came from sadness. Through sadness comes change. But that is for another day.

I am going to wrap this up early.
Goodnight.

Day #266

Hello! Happy Wednesday!
I often enjoy this day of the week. It is sort of like my half way recovery. As some people put it, this is 'hump day'. Sort of a questionable name... but if you can make it past Wednesday, then the rest of the week is a breeze. Today is September 23. It is the 266th day of the year and there are 99 days left in 2009. Yes, I did use Wikipedia. =)
Right now I am reading 'Slaughter House 5' by Kurt Vonnegut. It is pretty much consuming my life right now, so I should talk about it! In my English class I was given a list of 101 best books of all time. This was on it. I guess you could say that it is an anti war book. Boring right? Wrong. It is very interesting. The author has many different perspectives on life. Educated perspectives. I enjoy thinking about them. As I was reading last night I came across something very interesting. I will try to explain...
At this point in the book, the main character (Billy) has supposedly been taken away to the planet Tralfamadore. The creatures of the planet have put him into a zoo to be studied. At one point, Billy is discussing the idea of war with some of the Tralfamadorians. This is what it comes to say....

"So-" said Billy gropingly, "I suppose that the idea of preventing war on Earth is stupid, too"

"Of course."
"But you do have a peaceful planet here."
"Today we do. On other days we have wars as horrible as any you've ever seen or read about. There isn't anything we can do about them, so we simply don't look at them. We ignore them. We spend eternity looking at pleasant moments- like today at the zoo. Isn't this a nice moment?"
"Yes."
"That's one thing Earthlings might learn to do, if they tried hard enough: Ignore the awful times, and concentrate on the good ones."
"Um," said Billy.

I thought it was very interesting. "Ignore the awful times, and concentrate on the good ones." As hard as it will be....I am going to make it a goal.

Goodnight everyone.

Ps. I wore white pants after Labour Day

The Second Monday

Hello to all you Internet people...
Today is Tuesday and I have nothing to talk about. But for the sake of keeping this blog going, I will write. Have you ever noticed how Tuesday is basically like Monday? They share very similar properties...to me anyway. The only major difference between the two is that Tuesday you aren't suffering weekend withdrawals. Haha
Lately I have been trying to decide whether I like mornings or nights better. I think I like nights better, but I have definitely come to appreciate mornings more. In the morning you are like a whole new person. Now, I know that sounds super lame. But...it is sort of true. You can make the coming day into anything you want it to be. Life is truly a beautiful thing, if you think about it. Mornings remind me of this. Too bad I love night so much, that I stay up super late and can't take the time to enjoy the early day. I also very much love going for walks in the morning. For all you people who crash around 3pm...yes, exercise in the morning does help keep you energized. So, if you have yet to take a morning walk...you better get on it. Winter is coming.
Happy Monday! Opps...Tuesday.

The Beginning.

Hello everyone and nobody... all at once.
I am going to start blogging. Why? No reason really. I just think a lot in a day. I would like to think that by writing my thoughts on the world wide web, I would be making the earth a better place. But I won't be.
You know- I always get in trouble for starting sentences with 'but'. BUT, I happen to like it. Don't judge. Just conform. =)
Second hand words, from me to you. A gift? Not in the slightest.
Happy first day of Autumn!
