I used the light box for the first time today. I felt full of energy and happy actually, and now i'm sleepy. Placebo effect perhaps? Either way, I'm de"lighted" -- that pun was not even going to be intended. oh well... Should know how it goes after a couple weeks i imagine. i'm going to take ambien for the next two weeks or so i decided. about 2 o'clock. I'm going to try and end up sleeping 2am-9am everyday regardless. that's my goal. Columbus day. Can we end this sham? Who was taught in elementary that most people at the time thought the world was flat??? if you were, your teachers' were dumb. almost everyone believed the world was round. (which technically it isn't round... it's some other shape i don't remember... a something something spherical something or something... maybe i invented that. well a sentence with four somethings in it is at least good for something right?) Columbus was a douche. he didn't discover America, and I don't know why the hell that rumor continues to exist. He did make it possible for europeans to eventually come over here and rape, pillage and steal from the indians... so kudos to that. perhaps they should call it rape and pillage day. Has a nicer ring to it... and sounds like a more enjoyable holiday... at least for sex offenders and thieves... I don't know how or why i got started on this topic. forget that I did. Saturday, Angela Larson's party at 8. whit... remind me. you are the best at that <3 I need to remember to tell Andrew and Mario as well. i love the new 30 seconds to mars song. give it a listen. I go watch house, take ambien, go to sleep. in that order. wen wen

don't ask, I'll tell you this blog is a little gay...

first word that popped into my head, then the next, the next etc. I think it's funny, and very interesting to do this from time to time. so now, is apparently that time. odd yes, but i suggest everyone do it from time to time. it's interesting and sometimes insightful (perhaps not in this case).... any how. we'll start: myotonic goats. rubies. First Earth Batallion, Ron Hubbard, Cupboard, counter, insurgency, serotonin, glowstick, fourth of july, kiss, make up, mac, apple, granny smith, cancer, pisces, pica, ice, bottle cap, dr. pepper, mashed potatoes, jalapenos, Australian, kangaroo, rooster, coccyx, joint pain, sharks, poker, seven, kim, chi, feng shui, wind, clock, father, car, yellow, bee, sunflower, seed, secede, texas, alamo, car rental, porter, bellhop, shower, baby, birth, light, lucent, technology.

cook my pizza. but be careful, plastic melts.

Mario moved back to Salt Lake. three cheers. Vince and Katiana both have birthday parties Saturday. three jeers. I wish I could be two places at the same time. Symbicort starts to improve my lung function within 15 minutes. That's important to me. Ask your doctor if symbicort is right for you. I wish I took yaz and was hospitalized for blood clots, pulmonary embolism, stroke, or heart attack. I'd be rich...



Anyhow. I watched whip it the other day. I liked it. not fabulous. probably a 7 out of 10. I wanted to watch the new Ricky Gervais movie... but was persuaded otherwise by cucumber kim-chi. Two of my professors were on the news in the last couple days. Dr. Strayer for his research on cell phones/texting and driving (studies for which I was a lab assistant... go me). Then Mark Nielsen was on the news for creating an anatomy application for the Iphone. I pick good professors :)



Daniel Tosh and Mitch Fatel are two of my favorite comedians. Anyone who isn't too easily offended and hasn't seen them should definitely watch them. I'm watching the new Daniel Tosh special now... and it just cut to a girls gone wild commercial... seriously. what is wrong with these people? The hottest girl in America just might be from your town, your college, or the house next door. She might even be your best friend's sister!



clues you don't have self-esteem or dignity: you have plastic or collagen self-esteem, you show your breasts/vagina to complete strangers with video cameras.



Music I can't stop listening to at the moment: imogen heap "hide and seek," sounds of animals fighting "the heretic" slipknot "snuff" family force 5 "share it with me" the used "best of me" brand new " Afi "fainting spells" etc. etc.



cold weather is upon us. My wardrobe is now kick-ass. I'm excited. I need to meet people in the next six months while I'm at my cutest :p



alright now a commercial for Enzyte... they have a t-shirt I think. I want it! only if they have it in black though.



Daylight savings time is soon isn't it. Don't we get an extra hour? If so... doesn't that mean that technically October is the longest month of the year. That's kind of a cool fact I just realized :D



I think that's enough for now.



papa murphy's is fucking stupid.. seriously. just cook my fucking pizza. Why the hell would I want to cook it? I'm not an expert pizza maker, I'd rather have somebody else do it.



handshakes transfer more germs than kissing.

my greeting style must change to accommodate that.



need new black chucks.



ciao

live, don't just be alive

cucumber kim chi = delicious. I rather enjoyed the episode of House tonight. I went and saw whip it. It was good. not amazing... but good. my eyes have been opened. but unfortunately i think they're bloodshot. tis but a mere eyedrop in the proverbial bucket. study closely young pupils. the eyes are the window to the soul. The sole purpose of life is to find purpose. and I, and my eyes walk on the soles of my tattered and torn converse until i find it. I am searching for meaning, but starting to realize the meaning is in the search. embrace the moment. live in the ripples of the water, live in the currents of the wind, live in the warmth of the sun and the shine of the moonlight.

insomnia and secret talking computers

My insomnia is worse than ever i think. eek it's 618 and I'm not asleep. sad. tomorrow comes my light box. I'm thrilled with the possibility of improvement and progress. i know a lot of secrets. I just realized that. I'm like a confidant for most people. october 4th is lauren's birthday. 5th is vince's dont' let me forget. saturday we are going to keys on main for laurens birthday. everybody should come. I hate the political climate in the us. it makes me want to remove my eyes with spoons and bathe them in acid. I just want logic to trump fear and emotion... just once in my life. it's like an allegory to my life (i don't know if i used that term correctly). I talked through a computer today. it was very strange. i felt so techy. my room is freezing. not like chilly freezing... like a tray of ice cubes in an igloo. i am an ice cube. my blankets form my igloo. Igloo is such a silly word. I like it.

i need new chucks, new jeans, a bk mocha joe (probably 2) and breakfast at 1230. i don't see any of those happening in the next 12 hours. sad.

mario is back. that makes me happy. i haven't been able to get a hold of him, but I'm exicted.

i want to do something fun tomorrow hit me up if you're interested...
