Song Meme - Days 5 & 6
Two birds with one stone on these.
Day 5 - A song that is often stuck in your head
Day 6 - A song that reminds you of a best friend
Beka's been kind of obsessed with this song ever since I showed her the video. It's always playing in her car, and I share her opinion that this particular mix is superior to both original songs (Painkiller by Judas ( Read more... ) -
Song Meme - Days 3 & 4
Day 3 - A song that reminds you of one of both of your parents
The first thing that comes to mind is this:
My dad used to sing this all the time. Still does, just not as often.
Day 4 - A song that calms you downThere's just something about Natalie Imbruglia's voice that short-circuits my aggression. It's like a quiet nighttime snowfall in this ( Read more... ) -
Undefined Relationships
I’ve been toying with this idea for awhile now. Relationships are about people, not titles. So why bother with the titles? They come with their own baggage, all of it unneccesary, and have a disturbing tendency to force a relationship into a predefined path that isn’t necessarily the one it would otherwise follow ( Read more... ) -
Song Meme - Day 2
Day 2 - A song that reminds you of your most recent ex
Woah, lots of recent... erm, whatdyacallit. Baggage has the wrong connotation, but I can't think of a better word. Regardless, it's been just over two weeks since Renee and I broke up. There are a lot of songs that remind me of her, but I had a hard time picking the one that reminds me of her ( Read more... ) -
Song Meme - Day 1
Since everyone else is doing this... I know, I'm kind of (very) late. Oh well.
Day 01 - A song from my childhood.
Las Mañanitas
Every time someone had a birthday, my dad would serenade them with this song. When I was really little (like 2) I'd sing along. I had it memorized for years, and my dad would always want me to sing it for people. ( Read more... ) -
What is love? (Baby don't hurt me... :-p )
This is going to be a bit disjointed, but people keep asking me about it, so... here's a few thoughts about love and poly relationships. I'll go into more detail if anyone wants me to.
Aspects of LoveTo my mind, there are three facets to a relationship: Love, Affection, and Attraction. Affection is what you feel for a close friend. It's the non- ( Read more... ) -
Takin' care of business
I have a job finally. UNM's adding new grade reporting options, and I'm one of the temps brought in to support them. So I still need to get a permanent job, but this will give me cashflow until Christmas at least ( Read more... ) -
Uberwocky
Another poem, this time from way back in high school.
Überwocky
'Twas mired, and the |_33+ |-|4x0|2z

Arise and Live Again
This is a poem that I wrote for a creative writing class back in 2005. Read into it what you will; I may post the analysis I had to write of it at some point. I'd like to hear what other people think of this, though.
We all must fall sometime
Figuratively at the very least
Though it may break us to our very core
Yet still there is hope
If we can still ( Read more... ) -
Work.
So I finally have a job interview tomorrow. Hopefully I'll get the job, but in the meantime I've started a blog about technology and personal development. I'm working on an article series about tiling windows managers in Linux. For some reason, DWM is hard for me to motivate myself to write about. Everything is written except the "how to use" ( Read more... )
