a poem to mull over for a while...O_o
December 21, 2009
"Stimulus Nick"
'Twas the week before Christmas
and no one was hiring.
In fact a few Grinches
continued their firing.
Folks were lined up
at the Employment Commission
hoping their checks
didn't have an omission.
When out in the hall there arose such a clatter
We sprang from our cubicles to see what was the matter!
It was Stimulus Nick,
He had a list in his hand.
Checking to see if supply was meeting demand.
He shook his head.
and with a face filled with woe
He cried, "Where did all the Stimulus packages go?"
He looked all around
under each desk and cubby,
searching for any small signs of recovery.
Then laying a hand on his furrowed brow,
He wondered aloud, "What will the economy do now?"
He gave away everything he had in his bag.
Then headed out the door with shoulders that sagged.
On the threshold he spun and called them by name:
On Food Stamps; On Last Legs, On Repossessed and Mollified!
On Laid-off and Bankrupt; Unemployed and Overqualified!
But nobody budged.
Not one soul was listening.
Just stood there eyes wet and glistening.
"We'll stay by the phone Sir," they said to Old Nick.
"Hate to miss a chance at a job. They go by so quick."
Stimulus Nick shook his fist at the air.
"I'll fill all your orders! I really do care!"
But folks couldn't hear him.
They went back to applying.
Just one more try
to keep spirits flying.

a few of my favorite quotes...
"It has been said, 'time heals all wounds.' I do not agree. The wounds remain. In time, the mind, protecting its sanity, covers them with scar tissue and the pain lessens. But it is never gone." — Rose Kennedy
"Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always preserves. Love never fails." 1 Corinthians 13:4-8
"The road to success is not straight. There is a curve called Failure, a loop called Confusion, speed bumps called Friends, red lights called Enemies, caution lights called Family. You will have flats called Jobs. But, if you have a spare called... Determination, an engine called Perseverance, insurance called Faith, a driver called Jesus, you will make it to a place called Success." - Unknown.
“I just think that some things are meant to be broken. Imperfect. Chaotic. It’s the universe’s way of providing contrast, you know? There have to be a few holes in the road. It’s how life is.” — The Truth About Forever by Sarah Dessen

i just miss you...
...that's all.
i dont like change. even though i know this type of change shouldnt affect me at all. but i miss spending time together and just goofing off. we still do that sometimes...but not as much b/c you're so busy. and that's understandable. i'm busy too. that's what's been bugging me all this time. i'll get over it, just give me a while.
im going to continue with karate. i love it at pius, as i always have, and i want my blackbelt now more than ever. seeing myself in the blackbelt line at the beginning of class...standing right by your side. i want to prove that i can make it to blackbelt and even beyond that. i know i can...but i still want to prove it. and i will. motivation is my drive, amongst other things.
i have my regrets...but that just pushes me to prove myself even faster. and once again, i will. and i'll get my degree in therapeutic recreation, and that day...i'll be so proud...knowing that in the back of mind ive reached a goal...only to move on to even bigger aspirations.
you've taught me so much already...and all of those things, i keep with me every day. i oft' find myself asking "what would she do?" if i encounter an issue. sometimes i dont listen, but i find myelf going back and saying i should have.
bottom line - yes, ive got a lot to learn...i'm only human lol, but i think i'm doing an ok job so far. much work still needs to be done, but my ultimate goal is not going to change b/c i always think of you [and someone else]. i'm always ready to jump to your side if you need something...as i do with a lot of people, but that's just who i am. even if it's just grabbing a target from across the room for the karate class, i'll do it. lol...
i know you've told me so many times that nothing's going to change...but to a degree, a lot of things already have. but one thing will never change...i'll always be here for you as a friend. im not "clingy", over-sensitive, over-attached, or anything like that...i just care. it's who ive always been, and will continue to be.
thus, i'm ending this post tonight saying that i never want to lose you [or anyone i care so much about]. granted...ive said that before...a lot...but i just needed it in print. now that i've said all that's on my mind, i'm going to get a good night's sleep after i finish my last bit of homework.
good night. :)

Grease!!!
i guess i'm overdue for an update...tho, not many people read this thing anymore. but for humoring myself, i reckon i'll post something. :)
1) school's been going quite well; still loving all my classes and what not. enjoying the fact that i get to see ppl i havent seen in a while and oh...lauren approves of Brett if anything just so happens to heat up. ;)
2) despite the fact my social life has somewhat decreased since the school year began, im satisfied with the way things are going right now. hanging out with helen on wednesday before i go see Grease live @ the scope :) i am sooo excited! [for both events lol] been chilling with lauren bunches due to school...we have ALMOST the same schedule, but not quite exactly the same time frames. i miss gaby, katie, etc...but glad to hear they're doing well en collegio :)
3) karate test for 1st gup [last degree of red belt before black] is on saturday..wish me luck!! lol
4) what else...im sure there's more, but im too tired to concentrate right now.
therefore, i'm going to go quench my thirst with a glass of water and head off to bed right after i re-print my english paper that i just finished editing. i'll try and keep this thing updated in what little spare time i have...G'night blogspot world :)

now i remember why i rarely blog during the active school semester...
I NEVER HAVE TIME!!!!
as a semi-short update...i'm officially a Darden College of Education student and i love all my classes this semester. yes, i'll probably be chastised for taking RTS, but i enjoy the class & it's required. i'm excited for october to get here, so we may take on further interaction. i've joined the Recreation and Tourism Studies Club and our first meeting is on Sept. 17th [thursday]. i'm completely stoked!! [we're also holding a picnic the week before on the 10th...rain or shine either on the lawn of the education building or inside. once again - STOKED! met up with a few old friends from pius as well as a few from last semester. [oh, and lauren - we're having lunch with my friend Erinn on friday...btw] ;) uhm...what else...my favorite class thus far, granted it's only three days into the semester, is literature. the first author we studied was Stephen King. [yay!!] and soon we'll begin good ol' Poe. :) public speaking is nice as well. our first speech was due this morning, and [yay!] i aced it. [we were graded on the spot.] computer science - haha...it's like a repeat of pius. THANK YOU MISS O!!! we pretty much just have to do random projects demonstrating that we know how to use the various programs in Microsoft Office. [publisher, word, excell, etc...] so, that class should also be an easy A. english - the first chapter of the text we were to read was more interesting than i thought. so i'm glad for that. i think that's pretty much it right now in the education department.
aside from that, i'll FINALLY be getting back to karate at pius tomorrow. wanted to get a bit settled prior to getting back in full swing of all my activities. [which all good students should do...haha] so, between school, karate, work, and the uber amounts of homework, y'all can expect posts on here periodically...like tonight when i've completed all my assignments and have a few minutes of relaxation.
for now, i'm off to slumber; giving my brain a much needed rest after a hard day's night. ;)

my new HP Officejet Pro 8500 is absolutely wonderful. 3000 pgs printable per ink cartridge. it's got individual ink cartidges...like one for pink, blue, yellow, and black. it prints, copies, scans, and faxes. it's wonderful. and it has memory card slots for those of you that wish to print pix without using walgreens or somewhere else. it's lovely. ;) well worth the near $200 i spent for it. but i got a $50 discount for giving them my old printer that didnt work. yay for office depot!

Quote Analysis:
"The road to success is not straight. There is a curve called Failure, a loop called Confusion, speed bumps called Friends, red lights called Enemies, caution lights called Family. You will have flats called Jobs. But, if you have a spare called... Determination, an engine called Perseverance, insurance called Faith, a driver called Jesus, you will make it to a place called Success."
upon mulling this quote over, and searching vigorously online for the author, i've come to find it's more than the simple truth. on the journey through life, if we follow the guides that are given to us instead of speeding past in haste, you'll end up where you were supposed to be in the first place. successfulness is determination.
good night world. <3

lovely evening out :)
harry potter and the half-blood prince was absoutely amazing. tho nothing in comparison to the book...at least the last few chapters i skimmed thru to find dumbledor died. lol. but all & all a good movie. :) crystal, lauren & i sat in the theater for a good 10 mins waiting for the lights/movie to come back on b/c they went out due to the storm. which of course made my phone act wonky. thus, upon leaving the theater i discovered three missed calls and two texts. >.< but it was a good nite finished off with a spicy chicken sandwich at wendy's watching the gorgeously terrifying lighting light up the sky.

I get so caught up in my work and my time goes by soooo fast! I MISS YOU!!! I think about you and Miss O' and Mr. Tanner Man all the time! It's been so very HOT HOT HOT! I need to get you your necklace. Or at least get you to come see it and see if you like it or not LOL. I could make you something else if you think you won't wear the ammonite often. I made one for Miss O' too. But every day I work and I'm better at what I do, so I could sell the ammonites and make you both something better LOL! Anyways, the two necklaces are strug up on a leather cord, not even sure if I like them anymore myself lol! We should go see a movie together sometime soon. I'm going to SC to see Kyle Aug 1st weekend with my daughter Jacqueline. She's driving because I need to fix my car before I travel with it again. It needs like 2,000 dollars worth of fixing, part of the reason why I have been working so very hard. And with that said, I must get back to work! Love you sweety pie! Hugggggs Jettonne PS: I'll text u soon, we should get together very soon!♥
a) i HAD to put this up here just because of the 3rd line. it's amazing. XD

today was grand, yet i'm preoccupied worrying with other things...
1) mom has an abscess tooth. :'( so she'll be going in for [i'm sure] a painful surgery pretty soon. =/
2) suzette's mother in law was possibly murdered last night. ='( i cant stop crying over it. she was found at the bottom of their 8ft pool this morning @ 5am =/ and what's weird is that she was barefoot. she NEVER goes outside barefoot, let alone around the pool. ='(
3) im not entirely sure about what tomorrow morning will entale. for more information, please inquire. but i'm going to breakfast with someone. lol
4) i'm pretty worried about someone else. =/
5) i might be going to the doctor either tomorrow or the Urgent Care place on saturday when i'm off. *sigh* long story. but my eyes arent getting any better, and the whole "ear piercing" thing utterly failed. so i need to get both of those things resolved before further epic failure occurs. =/
anyways...i'll get my schedule for next week & post it up here or something. hopefully i'll be able to make it to a training in chesapeake as well as the norfolk ones. but if i cant make chesapeake due to my schedule...then i can always call out...*cough*cough* haha.
more later, must continue pondering now....and making mac n cheez. =P~

who doesnt love chicago this much? / training tonight.
granted, the only part that really fits is chorus. [the whole "you're the inspiration" part.] andddd now every1 knows what i listened to on repeat for however many laps i did around the park today. i'm actually tired after karate. i must start going to the chesapeake meets more often i feel like i actually got a work out. though, i could have strived even harder...so i'm setting a new goal for every training session i attend. that goes for the norfolk studio as well.
anyways...enjoy the vid. :)

thanks tracy...
i think you and 2 other ppl think a lot alike. and i need to start thinking like you guys. b/c i could SWEAR the msg i was reading was sent by sum1 else. lol.
"When one leaves its brain to wonder they most always find it in a place called deep thought. while this type of thought can some times be helpful, it can cause one to loose sight. there is nothing in this world that should take up the time it takes for deep thinking. one's brain usually has the answer in the first thirty seconds. so relax and find something fun to do in those extra moments that you just freed up. have a good night"
good night every1. :) <3 kel

fail.
uugghhh...FAIL. [long rant.]
idk…i’m still utterly confused about everything. but i’m pretty much not going to question anything anymore. just take each day as it comes. lucian hasnt said ANYTHING derogatory to me yet…and we’ve been talking on myspace and texting and everything. he asked me out to lunch today there’s no way i’m getting out of the house except for work. [driving went well this morning tho.] and i mean…i wouldnt go out with him anyway. he’s fuckin almost 10 years older than me. FAIL. my sister, dustan, patrick AND leah all think we should date. but noooo…WHY can’t he be just a BIT younger??? and not drink. i hate that. and y’all ALL know why i hate drinking. ugh…fail…FAIL FAIL FAILLLL. =/
i dont even know what to think about the other two things i’m confused about. =/ i guess just take that day by day too.
as for the one at work, steven says i can shoot for so much better. and he’s right. but *sigh* steven…why do you have to be gay?? haha…tho, i wouldnt have it any other way. <3 u brother. :)
but uggghhh…idk, im still exorbently distraught over everything. school needs to hurry up and start in the fall so i can have something remotely important to concentrate on. [and no, i havent forgotten about reading. i just think too much into other shit that i get pre-occupied with that and brush to the side the fact that i could be doing something worth-while....i FAIL.]
speaking of school…i need to get back up to ODU sometime this week. or next week. just have to renew my parking pass, find out what books i need for next semester and obtain them, as well as get all the proper supplies…but i guess that wont really happen until i have the classes syllabi.
i'm not getting a busch gardens pass this year. i'm doing the responsible thing and putting school before fun. im saving up for books as opposed to going to b/g like crystal and edric keep bugging me about. and i'm very proud of myself for saving my money...it'll pay off in the long run, and it makes me one more small step towards reaching my ultimate goal.
thursday thru wednesday of next week, i’ll be driving a different car. [which is also an antique, but the windows on the passenger side dont roll down, and it’s even MORE of a tank than the nova. so if i plan on going anywhere besides work and karate, i can expect to get complaints from whomever is in the passenger seat. haha.] FAIL! but it’s actually a nice car. [has a radio!] & i took it on the interstate today and felt more confident/comfortable in the new car than the nova. so i might actually be driving that more often since i like it.
annddd idk wtf i did, but i think i hit my nose or something, b/c it hurts really bad and my eyes are tearing up. fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!!!
fail...anyways, i dont have to be into work until 4:15…so i think ima take a nap before i jump in the shower.

We all know those cute little computer symbols called 'emoticons,' where:
:) means a smile and
:( is a frown.
Sometimes these are represented by

Well, how about some 'ASSICONS?'
Here goes:
(_!_) a regular ass
(__!__) a fat ass
(!) a tight ass
(_*_) an ass hole
{_!_} a swishy ass
(_o_) an ass that's been around
(_x_) kiss my ass
(_X_) leave my ass alone
(_zzz_) a tired ass
(_E=mc2_) a smart ass
(_$_) Money coming out of his ass
(_?_) Dumb Ass

had a long day.
might not be at karate tomorrow night.
viewing to attend. :(
dee left for the air force academy, so a bunch of us were at the airport at 7 this morning to see her off...all in tears.
then got a call from aunt nancy saying Smitty passed away yesterday. =( he was like my grandpa kinda...always so nice to me when i'd attend the lions club meetings. uuugh. he was such a nice guy.
update on molly - she's slowly digressing. they're attempting to get everything out of her old house and sell it. tanya may have to move to accomodate her mother's necessities, and idk how she's doing it all with two kids as well. she's a powerhouse.
update on dustan - he got back from charlottesville on monday & his first true session of chemotherapy was successful, but he's still very tired. it's a shame...only 27. :(
*sigh...* last couple of days have been pretty rough.

2 random facts...
1) it's also very amazing how one's hair can ONLY look a certain way once she's JUST gotten out of the hair salon. lol.
2) it's also amazing how fast i can go back to sleep once texts have ended lol.
i've gotta work 2-11pm today...and i think i can afford a few more hours sleep if nothing interesting is going on in the world. right? right.
though, by going back to bed...i'm wasting prime opportunity to run, read, prepare myself for tomorrow's vetures...etc. gahhhddd...now i'ma probably stay awake due to the guilt...thanks conscience. >_<

Beware the pitfalls of private education
[copied straight from her facebook. an amazing article.]
by Lisa Suhay
THIS YEAR I learned about private education from the perspective of an unlicensed teacher in a private school that is unaccredited. While teaching turned out to be the most fulfilling experience of my life, I am giving it up because I can’t, in good conscience, be part of a system that is unregulated to the point where it can seriously damage students, families and our city.
I now know that parents who pay for a learning environment run the risk of running out of cash for tuition and then finding their child can’t return to public school at the proper grade level if the private school did not follow state curriculum standards. Some unaccredited private schools here, according to the Richmond-based Virginia Council for Private Education, are capable of graduating seniors with less than a 6th grade reading level, unable to scrape the bare minimum on SOL, PSAT, SAT or ACT tests.
“Unless they teach the violent overthrow of the government,” Council President George McVey told me, “there’s really not much they can do wrong that would get them shut down here.”
Our city and state have no control over unaccredited private schools. They are businesses, and there is no governing educational body minding these stores. It’s time for the city of Norfolk to take an interest in one of the most important factors buyers consider when looking for a new home: the quality of education. We need to set standards and time limits on how long, after opening its doors, a school is allowed to operate without accreditation.
Not everyone sending a child to private school is wealthy. Sometimes a private school is a last resort for students who fled public school violence or failed in public schools and vouchers were not provided for an alternative. Blue-collar families often have little choice but to buy the most “affordable” private education available. Let the buyer beware; get curriculum standards and accreditation status in writing.
Also, know what can happen if you run out of money. Your child pays with his/her dignity and self-esteem, used as leverage to get parents to pay their debts to the school. That happens in accredited private schools, too.
At the high school where I taught this year, administrators decided the most effective way to squeeze unpaid tuition from parents of graduating seniors was to withhold their report cards, diplomas, participation in graduation, and transcripts necessary for acceptance to college. Four boys, including two who lost their mother to breast cancer Jan. 5, sat in the back of the auditorium, names stricken from the graduation program when their parents failed to meet the payment deadline. That was the last week of May, and every day these four, their parents, grandparents, caregivers and I talk or email, trying to salvage their spirits and futures. Thanks to programs like Opportunity Inc. and Career Start, we are making progress. But it is a long distance out of the way to come back a short distance correctly.
Nobody can blame private schools for wanting payment. Making payroll isn’t easy, but making terrible errors in judgment that create long-term educational and social scars in students is a snap.
In September I was hired to teach in this private high school, never having taught before, and with no teaching degree. I was greeted by a majority of seniors who had given up on themselves and chosen to marinate in bitterness, anger and rebellion largely because of the school’s practices. Yet the students are blamed and called “unmotivated” or “losers.”
Keeping a report card from a student is a thoroughly damaging educational practice. The result is students who learn not to care about grades because caring is too painful and embarrassing. While their classmates bond over successes and failures, children of debtors shield themselves from humiliation and pain by learning not to care.
Someday, when they and their parents pay in full, each of my four students will get an envelope in the mail with a diploma. The moment that was taken will not come again. Colleges will not take them. Even the military rejected one boy for lack of a diploma in hand. Today these four, whose parents paid and paid for years, who dreamed of being a radiologist, a photographer, a businessman and a professional coach, are washing dishes, taking out trash in restaurants, or are unemployed.
While I encourage responsibility for our own financial circumstances, taking a pound of flesh from somebody’s child this way makes our city pay for years in social services, counseling, police and assistance money. Time to count the cost of unregulated private education.

Pitfalls in Private Schooling [by Lisa Suhay]
an absolute must read in today's paper. the hampton road section of the va pilot. even if you dont get the paper, still try and obtain a copy of this editorial. it is the absolute complete truth about ryan academy. this poorly structured, unaccredited school needs a lot of work before i'll EVER support anything about it.
mrs. suhay, i agree with you 110%.
she posts most of her articles on her blogspot, hopefully this one will be up soon.
anyways, for now - i must slumber. long day ahead of me tomorrow...I START OFFICE TRAINING!! :D

i cant sleep.
=(
but i'm proud to announce i've moved up to office work. :D lol
i spent my evening attempting two new pain killers, and unfortunately i still feel like i'm going to kiel over. *sigh* i hate it. :( oh well. but despite the fact i KNOW i'm going to feel bad tomorrow, i'll still be at karate since i didnt make it tonight. and yes, i could've made it on time had my idiotic fear of the interstate not kicked in at last minute. :( i hate that i get cold feet everytime i hear someone mention the thought of me driving long distances on the interstate. it's not the car, it's the fact that i hate merging and am one of the paranoid drivers who will tap their brakes every five minutes & keeps thinking i'll wreck. :( i just need to get over my fear before i venture out...alas, the only way to get over the fear is to face it continuously. and since i've gotten my work schedule to cooperate, since i have power over there now, i will hopefully conquer that fear in the near future and thusly set my priorities straight. if i want that blackbelt, i need to buckle down. i need a LOT of practice, and i cant do most of it on my own. one-steps, three-steps, etc...endurance still has a way to go as well. uuugh. ive got a LOT of work to do this summer.
and now that i've successfully made my headache worse, i'm going to attempt [once again] to fall asleep. highly doubtful that i will...but i can at least stop staring at a computer screen. i just hope no one is mad at me for not attendning training tonight. i'll get over my fear of the interstate. i promise i will...and i'll prove it.
*sigh...* damn headache...amongst other things.
gnite world.
*kel*

hmmm
it's been a few days...guess i could update this thing again :)
uhm...well, i got promoted tonight at karate :D yay! and yes, karate was fun - per usual. i soooo stole a new work out for thursday's class. a good % of the instructors wont be there thursday, so that's prime opportunity for me to try something new while warming up the class. [and i think i might add some stuff from the P90X dvd my sister got me...lol, should be interesting.] lauren's graduation was last night. mucho fun. stayed at her house til like midnight watching Sister Act and then had to call it a night...of course, we went shopping today with gaby, so it all balanced out. :) uhm...also yesterday, i met a really nice woman in helen's neighborhood...shiela. she's got a wonderful personality...two great kids...and such a positive outlook on life. she also has MS. she lives normally, just with the help of nursing aids @ her home...has a motorized wheelchair, like my mom used to have - the EXACT same one, which i found a little strange...a sign perhaps? lol - but my mom got hers taken away...she ran over too many people's toes. ;) lol...just like mommie...XD ha...but shiela's so nice...another person who i admire for not letting it take over their life. each and every 1 of you have a place in my heart...that i'll constantly look up to as i progress thru college towards MS research. but anyways, her daughter and i both love tinkerbell. lol XD she told me a lot of stuff about MS that i didnt know. little factoids and what not that she's experienced or the doctors have told her thru her trials & tribulations with MS. unfortunately, she was also diagnosed with cancer...so not all of the facts may relate strictly to MS, but still worth keeping in mind. oh! and mom called yesterday. :) it was one of her good days, and the nurses talked to nancy & grady saying she's been doing real well this past week...as opposed to a few weeks ago when she seemed to digress. but all good days are welcomed now. hopefully they'll be occurring more frequently..??
okay, enough with that. for now, i must retire...gotta be up early for a 6:30am jog with sum1...where we're going for this run, i havent a clue. but it should be fun. it's in preparation for the CHKD 8k race on saturday, which i have a feeling i am sooo not prepared for. =/ but i'll make it thru. :D
gnite ppl. :)

im sorry i post so many pictures...
but most of them are well worth it.
the guy that did this was a genius! :)
today's quote...
i happened to stumble upon today's quote from reading something on Tumblr. now i'm quite intrigued. i want to pick up this book at the library.
“Life will break you. Nobody can protect you from that, and living alone won’t either, for solitude will also break you with its yearning. You have to love. You have to feel. It is the reason you are here on earth. You are here to risk your heart. You are here to be swallowed up. And when it happens that you are broken, or betrayed, or left, or hurt, or death brushes near, let yourself sit by an apple tree and listen to the apples falling all around you in heaps, wasting their sweetness. Tell yourself you tasted as many as you could.”
— Louise Erdrich (The Painted Drum: A Novel)

also found out today that one of my friends that i met this year, dustan, was diagnosed with cancer last week. he begins his chemo treatments on monday. and he's only 29. =( that's got to be terrible to hear. i couldnt imagine hearing those words. ='( im so sorry dustan.....=/

Tanya's Mom...
just got diagnosed with PSP. =(
Progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP) is a neurodegenerative brain disease that has no known cause, treatment or cure. They affect nerve cells that control walking, balance, mobility, vision, speech, and swallowing. Five to six people per 100,000 will develop PSP. Symptoms begin, on average, when an individual is in the early 60's, but may start as early as in the 40's. PSP is slightly more common in men than women, but PSP has no known geographical, occuptional or racial preference.
all these "uncurable" things...suck =(

4.) By preserverace, the snail reached the ark.- Charles Spurgeon
5.) The best place to succeed is where u are with what you’ve got.- Charles M. Schwab

this quote is supposed to be funny, but i disagree. lol
“I’m sick of following my dreams. I’m just going to ask them where they’re goin’, and hook up with them later.”
— Mitch Hedberg
i like following my dreams. not only is it an interesting journy, but the elements of surprise along the way make it all even more worth-while. :) hardships you'll cross, mountains you'll climb over, but it's all worth the ride. :)

quote.
“The world is not respectable; it is mortal, tormented, confused, deluded forever; but it is shot through with beauty, with love, with glints of courage and laughter; and in these, the spirit blooms timidly, and struggles to the light amid the thorns.”

i wish i knew what it was life first-hand.
i envy my mom for living during this time. lol

i'm so utterly confused.... -_-
i want to go, but i dont want to intrude. but it'd be so awesome to watch...even the trip there would be awesome. it'd be like part of a dream come true...
b/c this afternoon was awesome in itself. lol =P per usual. XD
but...i mean...if the intruding part is the part i'm so worried about [well, not "worried" about...but uuugh...], then i guess the money i'd spend on the trip could be saved for the following semester's books...considering i've got the first semester covered already.
*sigh*
[same blog is on my tumblr. no reason to check there too...]

quote analysis x2
"You got a lot going for you if you don't let yourself get in the way."
i need to be more open minded, a bit more positive, and look into the opportunities at hand before letting them fly away in the wind. i need to stop stressing out so much and deal with any problem at hand logically. i need to stop being so sensitive...& as of late, i feel as tho i'm getting better at that concept...i finally have a backbone. lol. but did i miss anything? i gathered all the above.
[thanks for the advice...you know who you are.]
"I rarely have anyone jump to my aid as you always do."
as for this quote, just call me thumper. ;)
[wait...that is the rabbit, right? in bambi? ive never seen the movie...but rabbits jump, right? no they hop...no, same thing...right?!?!] >.<
alrite, im tired...must sleep. gots stuff 2 do 2moro. :)
