And So It Begins...
Today, I'm about to take a giant leap forward in my life. It's the biggest life change in four years, since I started college. It's almost like I'm starting my life over again from scratch. I'll be arriving in Madrid at 11:30 a.m. and from there, everything will be different. It won't even be like my first go-around in Spain, when I was just ( Read more... ) -
Presidential Election
The more disgusted I get with this campaign, the more and more likely I'm probably going to just sit it out and not vote at all. -
No to Vegas
I don't think it's possible to swing it. I won't have the money for a trip that potentially lavish and I don't really seem to have driven up much interest in doing it anyway. Le sigh. -
I Really...
need to start posting in LJ again so I can let the world know what's going on in my life (and sometimes in my head) as well.
For now, bedtime. Yawn. -

Weird Dream #232323
So I have a tendency to have weird, crazy, bizarre dreams (yes, I know those are all synonyms; forgive me). Well, who doesn't? It's amazing how our brains can conjure up the most amazing series of images and sounds in our subconscious and entertain us (or scare us, in the case of a nightmare) so thoroughly while we're asleep. The problem is...as ( Read more... ) -
Taking on Prince
I already thought Prince was pretty awesome. When it comes to pop music, he has absolutely no equals (sorry, Michael Jackson). I can't think of any songs I've heard of his that I haven't at least mildly enjoyed. Sure, he's a weirdo and that whole thing with changing his name to an unpronounceable symbol back in the 1990s was just kinda bizarre and ( Read more... ) -
My Take on the Illegal Immigration Debate
I hate to beat a dead horse, but I think it's time I stuck out my position on this debate that is increasingly engulfing Arizona, at the very least, and the nation as a whole as well. The issue at stake is how to deal with 11-12 undocumented immigrants, many of Hispanic origin, that now live in this country. It's a very polarizing issue and not a ( Read more... ) -
My Bizarre Near-Death Experience
Ok, I know my last entry was rather cryptic, so let me explain what happened on Saturday night. I thought I had given up the long-form narrative LJ entry sometime after sophomore year, but what the hell? It's an interesting story and I'm apparently supposed to be blogging on a semi-regular basis for my online media class. So here goes ( Read more... ) -
Wow
I swear...I just had a near-death experience involving a near collision between my car and three wandering elk/deer in a creepy forest just north of Payson, Ariz. But I'm okay...just somewhat shaken. More on this later.
