"Research is what I'm doing when I don't know what I'm doing." --Wernher Von Braun

Bowling tonight was ok...nothing spectacular. 117 - 108 - 128. Better than last week, though, so that's something. Not much really going on right now...don't have much to write in this. A black notebook and black pen are sucking away all my writing...

until later.

across a tender green land
encircled by a pure white sky
arced by red lightning
i envision myself above fertile fields
as my love looks into my eyes.

on a liquid blue sky
encircled by pure white clouds
arced by red lightning
i envision myself above heaven's peak
as my love looks into my eyes.

on a firm gray evening
encircled by a pure white sky
arced by red lightning
i envision myself above fallen leaves
as my love looks into my eyes.

then she closes hers
and I am again solid
and grounded

but still floating.

There was nothing in either column. Perhaps I shall think of something to put in the "Art" section. I just found a Sharpie in the kitchen...

The above is a delightful display of gender stereotypes in a college class. This is one of the more entertaining things I have read of late.

Re: Ben Folds.

The Ben Folds concert was alright. He played a few songs, the crowd was good...but fuckin'-A, man, he levitated.

And also, here's a quote that I saw and found too amusing not to post. I expect cingular to be using this at some point in the near future.

"Anything that is too stupid to be spoken is sung." - Voltaire

The extra hour could not have chosen a better day upon which to fall...

From the wonderful RavenBlack, the genius who brings you the RSG seen above, comes this fun little thing!

Never smell like a boiled egg!

words of wisdom from the RSG.

I hate buying new shoes and new clothes. They never fit right the first time you wear them. It takes a while for them to form and fit correctly. Even longer for them to get really comfortable. Once they do though, they are indespensable.

I'm just baffled. How can something so new be so comfortable and fit so well...?

I've got 4 year old shoes and shirts that don't fit like this.

Update coming later on today. Want to type but time for class and test. Ick.

Sorry about the woohoo post mucking things up around here.
I didn't expect that to happen, and I can't edit the post.
So I'm posting like this, in short lines, so you don't have to scroll over forever...
It's truly amazing how one sentence, that probably took me 5 minutes
of stop-start-stop-start to finish, managed to change everything
(or my perception of everything) in my life. Eep.
There is so much I want to write down and say, but I'm having a hard time doing it
this public of a space...I love you.

You follow your feelings, you follow your dreams
You follow the leader into the trees
And what's in there waiting, neither one of us knows
You gotta keep one eye open the further you go
You never dreamed you'd go down on one knee, but now
Who could have seen, you'd be so hard t o please somehow
You feel like a poor boy, a long way from home
You're just a poor boy, a long way from home

And its wake up time
Time to open up your eyes
And rise and shine

You spend you life dreaming, running around in a trance
You hang out forever and still miss the dance
And if you get lucky, you might find someone
To help you get over the pain that will come
Yeah, you were so cool back in high school, what happened
You were sure not to have your spirits dampened
But you're just a poor boy alone in this world
You're just a poor boy alone in this world

And its wake up time
Time to open up your eyes
And rise and shine

Well, if he gets lucky, a boy finds a girl
T o help him to shoulder the pain in this world
And if you follow your feelings and you follow your dreams
You might find the forest there in the trees
Yeah, you'll be alright, it's gonna take time, but now
Who could have seen you'd be so hard to please somehow
You're just a poor boy, a long way from home
You're just a poor boy, a long way from home

And its wake up time
Time to open up your eyes
And rise and shine

Cause it's wake up time
Time to open up your eyes
And rise and shine

Your prose reads like poetry.
My poetry reads like the obituaries.

Your sorry eyes cut through the bone
They make it hard to leave you alone
Leave you here wearing your wounds
Waving your guns at somebody new

Baby you're lost
Baby you're lost
Baby you're a lost cause

There's too many people you used to know
They see you coming they see you go
They know your secrets and you know theirs
This town is crazy; nobody cares

Baby you're lost
Baby you're lost
Baby you're a lost cause

I'm tired of fighting
I'm tired of fighting
Fighting for a lost cause

There's a place where you are going
You ain't never been before
No one left to watch your back now
No one standing at your door
That's what you thought love was for

Baby you're lost
Baby you're lost
Baby you're a lost cause

I'm tired of fighting
I'm tired of fighting
Fighting for a lost cause

Beck - Lost Cause

The new Beck cd is just...wow. I've had the track above on repeat for far too long.

Speaking of far too long, it's been far too long since I posted in here, I suppose. There's so much I want to say, that I've wanted to say, for so long now. It's been eons since I've been true to myself and true to those around me, it seems. I'm not even sure what I truly feel, and what I only THINK I feel. But you know...I'm still not going to say anything. God forbid I do something that would help me. The cavern is sealed by the stone. I hate it when I post like this. Vague. Disconnected. Making little sense to anyone who should happen upon this. Only posting when edges aren't (or are) meshing. I just...need some release. I need something. I need someone. I need...

argh.
Take care, everyone. Ow.
