The thing that terrifies me most about the passage of time is how relentless it is. One one end of our lifetime is the moment we are in, and on the other end is our last moment alive. Time is marching forward, ever constant, and there is not a thing we can do about it. There is nothing in our power that will stop or slow the progression. Sleeping, ( Read more... )

Wow you can tell I have the old Livejournal client when the spellchecker in it doesn't know the word "blog."

I haven't posted in a couple years so now seems like as good a time as any. Looking back on some of my older journals made me feel all nostalgic so why not. I never liked the blogging system on Myspace or Facebook, and making a "for real blog" takes too much effort, so I'll stick to good old LJ ( Read more... )

I got a new monitor a few weeks ago. It was probably one of the first "big purchases" I made since getting a "real job," and it wasn't an easy decision. If you'll indulge me, I shall unfold a little gratuitous back story ( Read more... )

I love those brand new CDs that smell like candy. I don't know what the manufacturer does at the plant to make them smell so good, but when I crack open a new CD case and take a whiff, certain kinds just make me feel like they are coated in M&M shell. Occasionally you get the maple syrup variety, and while I'm not grossed out by these ones, they ( Read more... )

I don't know if anybody ever said that, but somebody should have because I need to remember it. I've been playing the snobby rich guy a lot because I think it's funny and fun. I've never really had any extra money before so it's new and exciting which adds to it. But really I don't have much money (it just seems like it because I'm used to having ( Read more... )

I'm thinking about playing the stock market. The idea never really appealed to me before but I think I now understand why it didn't. There are essentially a series of steps one has to go through in order to "Play" the stock market. Until now this was pretty much a one step process for me, which looked like this ( Read more... )

I don't think I have to tell you that I haven't updated in a while, It's glaringly obvious. My "Recent Entries" page spans a year or two. I even have a few of those obligatory "I'm totally going to start writing in here again lol" entries. Irony grows like a fungus on these posts as time moves ever forward and no updates are ever made. I'd like to ( Read more... )

Well I have officially passed all of my last classes, and paid my graduation fee, so CNU now owes me a Bachelor's Degree of Computer Science. I just have a couple more hoops to jump through and I will be officially degreed. It's a big relief, and I now know that no matter how much I screw up in life, I still have a degree. Drug addictions, gambling ( Read more... )

Man it's hard to write an entry every night when absolutely nothing happens around here. Tuesdays are the worst for me. I have Writing Tutor Or Whatever class at 8 in the morning, and then I have a Physics lab from 7-10 at night. After the morning class is over I go home and sit around for a bunch of hours, maybe take a nap, and then leave again at ( Read more... )
