And right as I think this dream is going somewhere, I realize its a dream. A loud banging in the dream that corresponds to absolutely nothing drags me back to wakefullness.


Slowly but surely, reality coalesces around me. Wooden ceiling, wooden walls, sloppy little shack. This particular shack happens to be mounted and stacked on top of a couple thousand other sloppy little shacks, mish-mashed...

Well, I made it on to the front page of the Arizona Republic with my Fahrenheit 9/11 quotes. They really missed the one thing I said I'd hope they would print; I was trying to make all us "lefties" sound a little intelligent. It's ok, though, becuase most of the quotes attributed to "righties" were from 17-year-old morons who said the movie was all "Bush-bashing"...

I've been gone for a couple of days. Real-life bullshit has really been kicking me in the ass lately, from my psychological problems to baclkash from my bad semester and problems with ex-girlfriends who won't go away, despite the fact that many of them have moved on to other relationships.


I'm also writing a book about the meaning of life. Now that I've discovered the...

We should all get to know Death. Someday.


His pleasantness is underrated
Thanks to his polite equality
Let me take a minute to describe him
So if he comes upon you
You'll do the polite thing
And try to get to know him better.


Death's left hand is Regret.
According to some
His polite pleasantness
Comes from the fact that we put it there.
According...

Except for a couple of jellyfish, the San Diego trip went really well. My family actually got along the whole time, and not only that, but I actually had fun hanging out with my cousins. I got to meet my dad's cousin, who's hilarious, and got to spend at least two full days at the beach.


I'd write more, but like everyone else in Phoenix...

Hmm. No comments the whole time I was gone. That's cool.

I'm going to be in San Diego for the next fives days (until Sunday) for our Family Reunion/ Grandparent's 50th Wedding Anniversary.


This means my dad's side of the family, which kinda scares me. Not that I don't like my dad's side of the family... I just can't relate to them on any level. Whatsoever. At all.


Most of this side of the family is...

One of my two bansai bamboo trees is officially dead today. I'd like the SG flag at half-staff for the remainder of the week.


I guess it's not all that bad, considering this one almost lasted a year, and the other one is still going strong. I'm just spoiled; the last set of bansai bamboo I had lasted over two years, from the baby shower...

Samsara: To Buddhists, the cycle of suffering and rebirth most people are trapped in due to ignorance and attachment to material things.


Thus the non-material prize.


Another drunken night! So not like me to be this social. Went with a couple of friends and my ex to the apartment of a guy we knew in high school. The guy's a total tweaker (he took...

I hate going to sleep drunk. Not because of the chance of hangover, because I rarely get to that point. Just because when I do sleep drunk, I wake up feeling tired and definitely not refreshed.


So try and geuss what I did last night.


People really need to put little comments on my journal here. It'll help my self-esteem.


I should put up one...

I've been sick in bed for the last two days with the stomach flu.


When I was a kid, I used to get the stomach flu about once a year or so, just from it going around school. I never really got sick a lot in general (after I got my tonsils taken out, anyways), so when I got the stomach flu it was a...

Every feel like things are changing so much at a given time in your life that you have absolutely no idea whatsoever what might be going on even as soon as next week? The next couple of days?


At the same time, ever feel like everything is either moving to fast, or going in bad directions, and you can't do a thing about either?
