Conclusion
Pretty fun. I'm so lazy to put pictures though. Got into UCSD and UOP.
How will I decide? I'm gonna write out a list and post it later.
Rawr, I want ONE more day of just random hanging out fun.
It's been weird lately. Deadlines, expectations and more relaxation.
Been fighting academic pressures, the word of mouth, running off
to relax and be relieved of stress, chilling and a bit of thinking.
My strengths in the academic area haven't been so hot lately. I
think I've been chasing too many cars and less integrals. I can say
though that my passion for my academics is getting back to the level
it was at last year... It's getting there but slowly. Learning is great
you have so many thoughts to drown out and to, just in general, learn
about interesting things you don't know. Call me a nerd, but solving
calculus is an intriguing puzzle, not when u get it wrong though. Haha.
I enjoyed going to school so I could catch some time away from my
family for a while, they are the biggest conclusionists (my word - people
who jump to conclusions). I don't really like it when people do this, but
I can't say anything, I've caught myself jumping to conclusions and it
has led me to bad places, haha. All I have to say for myself is, I don't
have the heart to say negative things (like the downright horrible things)
about people. Whatever people assume about my thinking aloud cannot
be controlled by me. People are people. And secondly, when I say I am
doing something, I'm doing it damnit!
Been trying to relax lately. Playing basketball, hanging out, eating,
going for strolls around the neighborhood and stuff like that. I think I'm
going to start jogging/biking again cause the cold weather is finally going
back to normal Elk Grovian temperatures. Guitar and singing is always
good for stress reduction as well. Yo! Hit me up with some good songs
to learn!
PS - I need more sleep.
Dude this kid is better than me, and he has guts. Lol. Props little man.
Don't underestimate sleep. It's a good thine for you. I've noticed
that my tone of voice has changed, I'm so tired, I'm falling asleep
first period, I'm more easily grumpified and I just feel downright
terrible.
I went home today; I didn't attend the rally. According to my
brother, I came home, fell on the couch at 2:30 and woke up
from my slumber at 7:00. What a great nap.
Apparently, this guy in Vietnam has been awake for 33 years
and 11,700 nights. There has been no known adverse affects
with his infinite insomnia. He uses the extra time complete new
work and comtemplate. I wish I could be like that guy and try
it out for some time. I mean, think of all the things I could do
with the extra time. I could write a book, work on more lyrics,
learn some things, not worry about having no time to finish
homework, contemplate about life and think... Perhaps that is
why we sleep, we don't want to think cause we are terrified
by the thoughts of an idle mind and the idle mind thinks about
grave grave things, you start to realize things about life and
you get desensitized to reality, thinking thinking. I think there-
fore I am but to think and think you start to doubt life, you loose
your emotions, your sense of reality, what if this was all a game?
Or a figment of somebody else's imagination? You doubt
people and their willful intentions, and you become less human
with every waking minute. Others would be scared, thinking of
what you may or intend to do in your state of nonsleep. You
are isolated by your neverending thoughts and then now by
other people. To sleep is to be human.
(What a dry conclusion... haha!)
He's my total hero and inspirational figure. Whenever I try
creative writing and such, I look to him. One day I'm gonna
go to some cafe in San Francisco and present own words!
Even in the darkest of suffering, a man can sleep. But for the
man who inflicts the suffering, his mind cannot rest... ever.
I didn't wanna do it, but given the situation... it was the right thing.
...was it?
What happens when you dunno what to do?
Last Saturday, I went for a walk on the boardwalk and the beach.
It was quite refreshing. I think I'm different from before I set foot on
that beach. It was a fantastic night for renewal. I was kinda alone
on the boardwalk though. After awhile I noticed some people; they
were sitting on benches, along with their compliment. They sat and
sat and just was there. I walked by and got myself a churro and
some thai tea. It was good, I finished it thinking about what I had.
I then proceeded to the beach, I climbed some rocks being careful
not to get wet by the crashing waves.
It was quiet.
It was relaxing.
It smelled so nice.
My whole body just felt 'lifted'. (If that makes any sense)
The wind blowing on me felt nice.
It was easier to breath.
I just stood there, staring into the sea, oh so dark blue.
You've got to appreciate what you got, you gotta appreciate life.
You gotta be appreciative to those around you. You must take the
extra mile and show it. I haven't been showing it that well, but at least
I'm not disregarding it. You gotta live life. Don't go around saying
what you don't got and use that energy and get farther with the things
you've already got. I'm gonna start off tomorrow.
Live life!
Appreciate!
No regrets!
I feel so much better. My shoes been blessed with the southern sand
and I've taken in some of the southern warmth. (How come the sun
feels better down south!?) I felt warm inside. It was good.
Gee, I haven't written in this in a while. I think I'll just start over.
James totally inspired me. I need to do something else when I'm
procrastinating on my homework; youtube doesn't simply work for
me anymore. I need to do something more contemplative, like this!
I'm so totally inspired to design something for Threadless now.
I've always wanted to participate in the Threadless scene and as
of now, I need the money bad! What to base an idea of of though?
My life is getting back on track and that's good.
