I'm supposed to be writing an essay/report about water. ERGH.
The sense of distraction is so utterly powerful. It's like a magnetic force that repels me completely from opening up Word and just starting that damn essay. Must... Write... Essay...
In other news:
I am poor and if you'd like to donate to the poor art student fund, please email me at: jacobwong@lagunacollege.edu. Please help yourself by helping me. (I know that doesn't say much but just roll with me here)
My legs are not too sore anymore. 35 miles of biking anyone?!
Is coffee at 10:15 a good idea? I guess I'm under the assumption that I'll be staying up to work on crap... I may be wrong.
OK, enough rambling. I'm stalling until I get something substantial to write about but nothing is coming into my head. Have a good day folks.
-Edit-
Here are some thoughts that came across my head when thinking about old relationships and a variety of other things...
So do you ever have this unsettling feeling in the back of your head where you feel like something about your life is not right? Then you think really hard about what it might be...
... And you remember. What was it?
A relationship?
Something you said to someone?
Some circumstance that occurred that was completely out of your control?
You feel disturbed and almost offended that someone or something screwed with your life. You think, "THIS is what I would have been," or "THIS is what could be if YOU didn't happen," etc.
Sometimes this divergence occurs as a direct consequence of someone's actions, and sometimes it just happens as a result of a series of different incoherent coincidences. Either way, you're still disturbed to a certain degree.
Though we remember the more disturbing examples of this kind of intervention of fate, perhaps we forget that all that every single individual has become is a result of it. This divergence and intervention is what life is made of and defines every individual.
We all have this idea of what our lives would or should look like-- we have expectations.
Don't have expectations. Have goals. There's a difference because when you have expectations, you feel like life owes you something. It doesn't and you'll be sorely disappointed and very bitter. When you have goals, you go and try to get it never assuming but always believing that you'll achieve them.

If I had money, I'd help you out, buddy.
Welcome to blogspot!
your face is pointless
"have goals"
those words are riveting.
Very good blog, I like the insight on relationships on this one, well worded and organized with a thoughtful conclusion. Living where you are must be expensive, I don't blame you for being low on cash.
