"Excess"
Filled with excess,
We die with excess.
Never realizing.
Always dreaming.
Try out the wings of a butterfly,
And see how easily they tear.
Try out the life of an orphan,
And see how easily your soul empties.
God gave us so much,
Yet we take all that we can see.
We take and we waste,
Against the course of nature.

Delicious Breakfast for Dinner
It's been a good evening though I feel crappy. Having a good time makes me forget that I feel crappy. Hehe. I should try it more often. I woke up with a headache, my left ear is still plugged and my right ear was plugged when I woke up. I am itchy, because I have mosquito bites. I slept too long, because I was depressed, and woke up feeling ( Read more... ) -

I Love Hearing from Old Friends!
I just heard from my old college buddy, Wesley, who joined the Navy to become a Nuclear Engineer in the Navy. He made it through boot camp and starts school on Monday. He won't have much of a social life for the next two years as he learns about nuclear energy, but it is worth it to him. I was so glad to hear from him! I'm surprised he called ( Read more... ) -
Brillant Idea! I Be Smart is No Time at All!
My home page is set to the Word of the Day at www.dictionary.com. I learn some new words and re-learn some words I have forgotten. I realize that I forget the words easily, so I'm going to write about them every day, since I don't get many opportunities to use these specific vocabulary words in conversation ( Read more... ) -
Dream Night of Monday, June 25th, 2007
There was an ancient temple in a tropical city. I was with another girl and we were exploring the temple. There was a T-Rex inside that was chasing us. There was an elevator in this temple and some of the doors had electronic locks where you swipe a card to enter, like a hotel. There were red characters in the temple that I didn’t understand, ( Read more... ) -
October Sky
I was feeling kind of depressed. I decided to take a break and watch October Sky, because I remembered it was inspiring. I recommend it to everybody. It brought tears to my eyes. It also made me think with a Southern accent after the movie was over.
