Live, I wanna live on fire
Die, I wanna burn out brighter
Brighter than the Northern lights
Wanna live to feel the daylight
The more I live I see that this life's not about me

If I were to look at today from an academic standpoint, I might say I rather failed in my goals. But if I look at today from the standpoint of life, a lot of things were ( Read more... )

Lets you and me
Make a night of it
Old enough to know
But too young to care

This morning I set my alarm for 9. I woke up. Turned my alarm off, lay there for a few minutes, weighed my options which I'd been debating the night before, and figured I'd be okay to sleep in as long as I actually got up to work later. I ended up getting up at 2pm, frying ( Read more... )

Just finished a presentation on William Gedney. If anyone wants to see the PowerPoint, let me know and I'll try and find time to upload it.

Cause I know there's got to be another level
Somewhere closer to the other side
And I'm feelin' like it's now or never
Can I break the spell of the typical?

After having worked on the project all night, everyone got an extension to Tuesday. Needless to say, my first reaction was being seriously pissed. My second reaction, however, was a little more ( Read more... )

How can I help it if I think you're funny when you're mad
Tryin' hard not to smile though, I feel bad
I'm the kind of guy who laughs at a funeral
Can't understand what I mean, you soon will
I have a tendency to wear my mind on my sleeve

Whew. First Tuesday of the school year, and already I am regretting the solid day of work - moreso now that I've ( Read more... )

You’ve got a charm, you simply disarm me every time
As long as you drive, I’m along for the ride
You're the way, I said it before
There won't be a door
That’s closed to us

Wow, it's been awhile since I posted. Honestly, it's been so busy that I actually forgot about posting or writing or anything. So, time for the marathon post, written in bits and ( Read more... )

You watch the sunrise
You know the darkness had no choice before the dawn
With your own eyes
Then you broke out laughing from a yawn
I'm so sorry I've been so down
Started doubting things could ever turn around
And I still can't believe that all we are is material
It's nonsensical

I think of this song because it's nearly 4:12, the Spring album from Jon ( Read more... )

It feels like home to me
Feels like I'm all the way back
Where I belong
It may be snowing outside, but I am in a good, spring-in-my-step sort of mood, accompanied by a compendium of two types of music - the most introspective music I have and the most hardcore music I have, from Chantal Kreviazuk and Avalon to TobyMac and Evanescence.

This morning I ( Read more... )

I'm not sure if it would be possible for me to care less about the big LJ protest thing. I care about the basic accounts being gone, but it's not going to inconvenience me.

I debated about doing this, but I thought I'd do it just in case. If you're interested in donating Shekels for my trip to Israel or USD for my trip to New York, I would ( Read more... )

Heroes, Martyrs, Fools
The Choice Between Reality and Fiction
My Paper For Digital Imagery 336 at the U of S

Despite consistent references to a dystopic lack of exposure to reality in popular science fiction, most individuals in everyday society take their existence for granted. It is seldom considered by the average person that the numbing effects ( Read more... )
