| Oh 2008 |
[Dec. 20th, 2008|10:11 am] |
now that the year is coming to an end, I am reminded of things throughout the year. I think the most significant things that have impacted me this year was people. I have been so lucky and grateful to have old and new friends who have helped me grow and learn, in a positive way or the most negative way, I have changed even in the slightest and I feel it has made me a stronger person. I wanna mention a few...
Ambie-I am really glad that chance caused us to be friends. I love that I found someone where I can share my band geekiness with. And you are the only person I know that isnt afraid of how bad ass I am in fact you scare me with your "BA" ness. But honestly, you were there for me when I needed it most. and you know "that sometimes people come into our lives when you need them the most" and I hope you never leave. j/k You are amazing and i am so lucky to have a friend like you :)
"The only true currency in this bankrupt world... is what you share with someone else when you're uncool."-Almost Famous
Debi-my other half.:) I am lucky to have met someone that is soo strong and makes me want to aspire to be like. I wish you understood how much you have affected my life so positively.
“... friendship is one of the most satisfying things in the world.”
-Charlotte’s web
Erin-summer of learning. haha. well, I am glad I had you there for me when I didnt wanna pick myself up. Girl, you know how it is and I love that you tell me how it is. "Sometimes people are there just to make you laugh and make your life better." who knew something that simple does improve your life.
"I'll tell you everything, and you tell me everything, and maybe we can get through all the piss and shit and lies that kill other people." Magnolia
Emmy- my big sis. I love you. you know why.
"Why did you do all this for me?" Wilber asked. "I don't deserve it. I've never done anything for you."
"You have been my friend," replied Charlotte. "That in itself is a tremendous thing. I wove my webs for you because I liked you. After all, what's a life, anyway? We're born, we live a little while, we die... By helping you, perhaps I was trying to lift up my life a trifle. Heavens knows anyone's life can stand a little of that."

| I don't want to be an ant, you know? |
[Oct. 30th, 2007|01:21 am] |
- Excuse me. - Excuse me.
Hey. Could we do that again?
I know we haven't met, but I don't want to be an ant. You know?
I mean, it's like we go through life...
with our antennas bouncing off one other,
continuously on ant autopilot,
with nothing really human required of us.
Stop. Go. Walk here. Drive there.
All action basically for survival.
All communication simply to keep this ant colony buzzing along...
in an efficient, polite manner.
" Here's your change." " Paper or plastic?" "Credit or debit?"
"You want ketchup with that?"
I don't want a straw. I want real human moments.
I want to see you. I want you to see me.
I don't want to give that up. I don't want to be an ant, you know?
Yeah. Yeah, I know.
I don't want to be an ant, either.
Yeah, thanks for kind of, like, jostling me there.
I've been kind of on zombie autopilot lately.
I don't feel like an ant in my head, but I guess I probably look like one.
It's kind of like D.H. Lawrence had this idea of two people meeting on a road...
And instead of just passing and glancing away,
they decided to accept what he calls "the confrontation between their souls."
It's like, um-- like freeing the brave reckless gods within us all.
Then it's like we have met.

I guess the bottom line is I love random people... And when you go to college that is what you get, random people. Anyway, I was working at the preschool on campus and it was lunchtime. Sarah and I were on our break and we went to the little cafe upstairs. The only table that was open was next to a somewhat older guy. So, we all sat there and Sarah and I proceed to have our conversation about boys (petty I know). We were just talking about past situations and her situation in particular. I had just told Sarah I would rather die alone than be with someone who is not gonna not going to appreciate all of me when the guy stood up. He thanked us for sharing the "space" with him and then started talking about his kids and how he always tells his little fifteen year old girl to "never settle". Then he told us we never should. It made me smile that he took the time to just let us know that for whatever reason. THEN, we got into the elevator when an even older guy started talking to us about boys, OUT OF NOWHERE. To sum it up, random, but sweet. The old guy wished us a good day and went on his merry way. I kind of find it ironic since they were both males, but whatever they were the coolest most random men ever. |

"A couple of hundred years ago, Benjamin Franklin shared with the world the secret of his success. Never leave that till tomorrow, he said, which you can do today. This is the man who discovered electricity. You think more people would listen to what he had to say. I don't know why we put things off, but if I had to guess, I'd have to say it has a lot to do with fear. Fear of failure, fear of rejection, sometimes the fear is just of making a decision, because what if you're wrong? What if you're making a mistake you can't undo? The early bird catches the worm. A stitch in time saves nine. He who hesitates is lost. We can't pretend we hadn't been told. We've all heard the proverbs, heard the philosophers, heard our grandparents warning us about wasted time, heard the damn poets urging us to seize the day. Still sometimes we have to see for ourselves. We have to make our own mistakes. We have to learn our own lessons. We have to sweep today's possibility under tomorrow's rug until we can't anymore. Until we finally understand for ourselves what Benjamin Franklin really meant. That knowing is better than wondering, that waking is better than sleeping, and even the biggest failure, even the worst, beat the hell out of never trying." |

A thousand years is but an instant. There’s nothing new, nothing different. The same pattern over and over. The same clouds, the same music, the same insight I felt an hour or an eternity ago. There’s nothing here for me now, nothing at all. Now I remember. This happened to me before. This is why I left. You have begun to find your answers. Although it will seem difficult, the rewards will be great. Exercise your human mind as fully as possible, knowing it is only an exercise. Build beautiful artifacts, solve problems, explore the secrets of the physical universe, savor the input from all the senses, feel the joy and sorrow, the laughter, the empathy, compassion and tote the emotional memory in your travel bag. I remember where I came from and how I became a human, why I hung around, and now my final departure is scheduled. This way out. Escaping velocity. Not just eternity, but infinity. |

That was the thing. You just never knew. Forever was so many different things. It was always changing, it was what everything was really all about. It was twenty minutes, or a hundred years, or just this instant, or any instant I wished would last and last. But there was only one truth about forever that really mattered, and that was this: it was happening. Now. Now. Now. |

To be, or not to be; that is what really matters. Is it nobler to accept passively the trials and tribulations that unjust fate sends, or to resist an ocean of troubles, and, by our own effort, defeat them? To die, to fall asleep-perhaps that's all there is to it-and by that sleep suppose we put an end to the heartache and the thousands of pains and worries that are part of being human! That'san end we could all look forward to. To die, to sleep-to sleep-maybe to dream: yes, that's the catch.
...
well, the good part of that is yet to come, but i'm tired of typing yes this is old, but as we were reading it i really enjoyed it and if you think about it's meaning it makes sense and SHAKESPEARE KNOWS HIS STUFF! |

Hmmm...........
Today, Spencer brought up the fact that the world would be a different place if everyone was honest. HaHa!! And I thought that's what the world was supppose to be like. Although, I agree the world would be a better place, but more people would hate each other...
>...I think there is a very thin line between caring too much about what others think of you and not caring at all. I mean you need to be yourself to be happy, but if you do not live by some morals/society standards you would be selfish. It's always good to questions things because it makes the world turn. It makes people believe they can get better than what they are dealt with. It let's us accept that there is more out there...
>...Is the world everyone for themself or do we need to depend on each other to live?? This is an easy one. I think we NEED to depend on each other. We were all put here, we might as well help each other out...
>...I wonder about those people that live on exotic islands by themselves; what a great life! Those people live to survive. No hectic works schedules; just worrying about liveing, eating, breathing, sleeping. Or is the world about solveing problems, dealing with every day life and the stress that comes with it? Is it selfish again, apathy, or ignorant bliss? I'd love to live like that for one day and find out. I'd never go back to normal life ... |
