I feel as though a fog has lifted. But it was a heavy fog, filled with the comfort of uncertainty. For what I didn't know I could imagine existed just beyond the perimeter of cloudiness. And in a sense, it drove me on. It made the cloud seem bearable; at times. It's like looking up at the sky and seeing anything you wanted to in the clouds, and ( Read more... )

I have half of a bar stamp on my hand. Perhaps that is fitting, because I did only spend 15 minutes or so in this kareoke bar. I saw someone who probably wouldn't mind me calling them a dear friend, because I think she likes grammatical hyperbole, and references to things which make them seem more grand than they are. It's kind of like looking at ( Read more... )

With finals nearly completed, and my all-too-procrastinating ass trying desparately to salvage the quarter by landing a well suited job with some lucky engineering company. It is unfortunate that I have been somewhat of a slacker--the term I previously used so derisively to describe those who I now realize were the ones who had their priorities ( Read more... )

Lately, my life's been a very frustrating sequence of events, yet I cannot let it drag me down. I know what it's like down there; it isn't friendly. It also doesn't lend itself to ascending staircases, upwards escalators; it has a general negative association with anything that constitutes 'going back where you came from.' For that's how ( Read more... )

Well dear friends...it has happened yet again. Bad news seems to come in bunches. Yet despite it all, good things do happen. It seems awfully an ironic coincidence that in the week that my best friend and his wife bring life into the world, I have to watch all I rely on disappear. My car, my car...snatched from the learning grounds...and my ( Read more... )

Normally I would start such an infrequent entry in the method that I always do: a little bit of lamenting of the lack of new material forming in the journal, a bit of reminiscing about past entries, and maybe a bit of resolve to become more of a "lj-er." Well, there'll be none of that this time around, because now I know that those words are ( Read more... )

Ever had one of those surreal experiences where you don't know if your last memory is from a minute ago or a month ago? I get that impression when I read my journal; I wonder 'has it really been a year since I last wrote?' Then I remember it hasn't, because I've done some journal-esque house cleaning since then. But it's still funny to think that ( Read more... )

As the title of this journal entry suggests, I am, indeed, back from what I call Wonderland. This Wonderland is in the form of a family member's house worth three times as much as our house. He (my uncle) has two beautiful dogs, and a 100" projection home theatre system in his basement. I was quite awestruck with the setup, and it reminded me of ( Read more... )

For the first time in what seems like years, I know what relief feels like. Final exams are over, and generally, I feel wrapped in a sense of calm absent until now. I feel like I'm finally getting around to doing 'those things' that one always means to do, if only in a facetious echo. Buy christmas gifts...by personal stuff...save the world...etc ( Read more... )
