I'm starting to become more conscious of whatever vibe it is that I give off. I used to think that I was just paranoid, but now I think that this is real. It's most typically noticed with people I'd consider not as friends, but as associates, and a couple regular customers at work. They're usually people that I respect and would consider quite ( Read more... )

About 3 or so weeks ago, Morgan called me from Tom's house sort of panicked. There was this tiny kitten that appeared to have broken its back two legs. He was obviously scared, struggling to move and looked to be in a lot of pain. If you know me well enough, you know that the way I feel about animals, especially those that are suffering, is ( Read more... )

So I settled in for the night, smoked for awhile and then started flipping around on some of the new channels I get on this new converter box system and I found this super Christian kids show and I cannot stop watching it. I feel like I can't look away. I can't turn the channel even though I know there are other things I wanted to watch. None of it ( Read more... )

 For some reason, I keep remembering this weird interaction that happened at the Mock Trial invitational in Rancho, CA. It was our first round and we were against UCLA's A or B team, I can't remember. The counsel tables were really close together so that  I was super close to opposing counsel. And jokingly, before the round started, I looked over ( Read more... )

I'm on Lesson 7 of the Pimsleur German I, so I'm already half-way through. It's been pretty easy so far, but it's still a ton of information to take in.

Just waiting for summer classes to start. Until then it's just massive amounts of sleep and German and GT's Raw Kombucha tea.

 I've been considering formally learning German lately. I can understand quite a bit and I can mock the accent alright, but when it comes to speaking it in full sentences I just totally blank out. Since it really isn't an incredibly useful language to learn, I'd have to say that my shallow motives for learning German are:

ahhh) When I'm at the ( Read more... )

"Arrivals" and "Departures." What constitutes as an "arrival"? I would naturally assume it would mean the entrance to which you would "arrive" at the airport to get on your flight. Really though, when "arriving," are you "arriving at the airport by way of plane" or "arriving at the airport by way of car"? With "departures," does it mean "departing ( Read more... )

 I found an old mp3 recording of me playing guitar and it makes me kind of vomity. It's not horrible, it just reminds me of being young and thinking guitar was the coolest thing ever. Bleh ( Read more... )

So I'm reading this book, Personal Development for Smart People by Steve Pavlina, and I keep going back and forth on what I think. A brief description of Pavlina: Started out a stealing-addicted loser, in and out of jail. Decided to make something of himself. Started studying time-management and then, double majoring in Computer Science and ( Read more... )

I really, really like Prof Samuelson, mostly because he will go off on these completely unrelated, but somehow obscurely related topics that typically involve him drawing charts, mathematical equations and explanations on the nature of math and quantum physics. While I'm on the edge of my seat, the bro-dawgs are like "What does this have to do with ( Read more... )
