11:18 pm - Been Forever.. so what's new?
|
Not a whole hell of a lot. Put on a little weight, and a whole lot of attitude, and picked up this little morsel. Nads bought a black one which is that black chunk next to me. I'd post the other pictures but it'd just get heavy with load times. Anyway, hi to those who still read LJ.

8:37 pm - What's new in 2006...
|
I went to this house-party... but the place was bigger than Mount Carmel (you know.. the Waco place). I remember being somewhat fascinated with the design and lay-out, the heat of Crown Royal rolling down my throat, and Rob colorfully reminding me that it took me over an hour to drink one glass of it, which in turn made me the designated driver. I saw Rob make and break his New Years resolution within the same hour, along with quite a few other people. I also saw how the group that plays together, stays together.... and would participate in a beat-down together if need be, which left me mildly impressed.
I notice less and less of the familiars of livejournal vanishing or posting little to never. I saw somebody have nearly the ultimate high and the ultimate low almost on the same day. I see a few people who are too chicken-shit to say hi regardless of how long I may have known them. I was guilty of that once; we stood there looking at one another trying to make sure it was "that person we used to know way back when" without actually asking "Are you so-and-so?" And so we walked off in our separate directions, never to bump into each other for the remainder of that semester. Carl, if you're out there, yes, that was me, yes I had 'swangas' once, and yeah, I'll be back next year.
I'll try to break the lazyness that comes with not updating.. hell, maybe it'll start a trend. Thanks Jay for motivating me (without even suggesting it) to post.

11:46 pm - Hear that tune...
|
Remember when you used to see a song you've never heard of in the journal and your curiousity would get the best of you and you'd go looking for it? As dismal as the lyrics may sound, give this one a listen, its really well done, and bonus points to thse who know where it was used.
BoA - Duvet
And you don't seem to understand
A shame you seemed an honest man
And all the fears you hold so dear
Will turn to whisper in your ear
And you know what they say might hurt you
And you know that it means so much
And you don't even feel a thing
I am falling, I am fading
I have lost it all
And you don't seem the lying kind
A shame then I can read your mind
And all the things that I read there
Candle lit smile that we both share
and you know I don't mean to hurt you
But you know that it means so much
And you don't even feel a thing
I am falling, I am fading, I am drowning
Help me to breathe
I am hurting, I have lost it all
I am losing
Help me to breathe

10:48 pm - Consistancy...
|
That was a short month. Journal-writing seems to have fallen out of my normal habit of things. Between a full schedule, the reports, the papers, the readings, the manga editing and typesetting, the countless downloads and videos, 16 hours just isn't enough in a day (took the 8 hours out for sleep). There are/were several people I used to look forward to reading from day-to-day but it seems like none of them post anymore. I was definitely more motivated to write when I had something else to read other than a bunch of community posts. -consistancy non-existant-
A while back I had a visitor and they were run off by someone else barking a buncha bullshit in their direction. Since then they haven't been by, and I can't really say I blame them. Say I came to visit you, and your room-mate or spouse came out and starting chewing me out for just being over. I can't say I wouldn't be pissed off either, but I guess I would atleast ask the person I initially came to visit what the hell was going on later. Anywho that was a little drama in itself.
I've got my "halloween hands" grown out and shaped, but I don't think I'll be doing the whole Crow getup like usual. I'll probably end up having a quiet holiday instead. I used to do the dress-up thing and atleast get out a little bit with a few friends, but this year it seems like we're all getting a little tired of the usual pattern of holiday get-togethers. -consistancy broken-
I talked to Jay for the first time in a long while... like almost two months. He hardly posts so its not like you get to find out a whole lot, but then again, when you have a full-time job over an hour away from home in a really small town with not a whole lot to do, I guess there isn't much to say about your day-to-day. -consistant smalltown-
I really wanted to write more but our poor Astros need us.
Sometimes I wonder, in the later evening hours online, are you looking for me? (yes, I know this doesn't make a whole lot of sense to many of you.)

1:47 pm - Proof that life goes on
|
Note : I've actually left this posting window open for almost two hours. Giving this post the respect it truly deserves is a little like tiptoeing through a mine-field.
It appears, that I, like many others have sorta faded into obscurity when it comes to posting. I went back about 3 weeks and 90% of everything I read was simply community babble rather than individuals postings. Add to this, the reality of everyday life with people I know having babies, getting married, throwing showers, what have you, and it looks pretty clear that if you're not one of those people, you begin to wonder if you've become out of touch with your "original society" or if you've just grown up/out of where you came from.
I've been informed that I myself am guilty of not being the social creature I once was. Once upon a time I used to be, maybe not the center of a lot of people's universes, but atleast I was in their "orbit." Nowadays it's more like I'm that metaphorical comet that passes by once every decade or so (in my case once a month or so). Playing educational catch-up kinda does that to you I think. I put it off for 3 years instead of the intended 1 year when I graduated ... 7 years ago. When I finally went back, I got, distracted so-to-speak, and the next thing I knew, 3 more years went by. Enough of the memoirs though. Full-schedule takes precidence over social life, my apologies.
What I have read as far back as I wandered with who few are still around is quite un-nerving. If it were possible to step back 10 years in my life, when I first met so many of you, I would be reading nearly the exact same things as I do, but maybe from different people; as if tragedy is a disease and if it were being passed around among everyone. Depression, family separations, relative deaths, bad breakups. I have to be honest, the relative death one honestly bothered me. No matter of the people they were tied to, and whatever I may have resented them for, I hold no vices towards the deceased, and I felt a kind of pain that I was pretty certain I've protected myself from going through again for the last few years. I guess there's kinks in every armor.
(This space was reserved for a schpiel I was going to write about something else I had read about. Not sure I wanna touch this one right now though. Maybe I'll save it for another post.)
As I read, and write today's post, the image of the millenium is what really stands out prominent to me. Cycle of life, fate, destiny, the head eating the tail... however you see it, it's very clear and obvious in everything I've seen today. Those who aren't here anymore to tell the rest of us about it seem to be the most free.

4:43 pm - Totally forgot about this!
|
I was just browsing around and realized I haven't posted in twice as long as many other folks I read up on.
Not really much going on, finished school a while back, waiting for fall to start up, and finding it damn near impossible to find seasonal work in the mean time. Space bar also quirky as you can see.
...will try to write with more substance in the future. Sorry to hear about your ordeal Tracy : (

5:37 pm - Pfft... Terminators DO exist
|
Found this on above and behind... simply amazing.
Meet Marine 1st Sergeant Brad Kasal (in the middle). This photo was taken of 1stSgt. Kasal, whose older brother is a former 82nd Airborne paratrooper serving in Iraq, after the most recent major offensive in Fallujah. 1stSgt. Kasal sacrificed his own safety to save a room full of fellow Marines. Thought it is hard to see from the photograph, 1stSgt. Kasal lost most of his lower right leg after taking several AK rounds.
During the encounter, 1stSgt. Kasal took rounds in the back, which were rendered virtually harmless due to his vest armor. However, he took one round through his buttocks, which passed through both cheeks, leaving four holes in him. And amazingly, he also took the brunt of a grenade blast after jumping on top of one of his younger Marine brothers to shield him from the fire.
1stSgt. Kasal killed the terrorist who did most of the damage to him and his men, and despite a massive loss of blood he never stopped fighting. Notice he is still holding his pistol.
1stSgt. Kasal, who has been recommended for a Medal of Honor for his heroism that day, is already the recipient of several Purple Hearts for previous battles throughout his career, and has turned down more so he could remain with his unit. While in the hospital, 1stSgt. Kasal has met President Bush, Donald Rumsfeld, and several other celebrities. He said that Bush came in by himself and had a very long, sincere, and friendly visit with him.

12:30 am - One of those "stuck in your head" songs...
|
At night, the town is quiet like the bottom of the ocean
I continue down the road by myself
Guided by the distant voice
I keep searching for the soft blue light
Hey I discovered myself within
And my spirit calls out to me
No matter how far away I am, I can hear it
The silver light burns within every room
I walk around hoping for it anywhere, surely
Hey I found you
And so, without leaving you again
No matter how much I hurt inside I'll always be near you
I'll never release
Your hand that I held
Hey I found you
And so, without leaving you again
No matter how much I hurt inside I'll always be near you
Forever
Forever
..... doesn't seem like much, but you really oughta hear it in its native tongue.

12:30 pm - Snow...
|
...it's not sticking, and it's barely coming down... flurries.... how retarded.
Flurries.
And people here get all excited about it.
Real snow.. the last time we saw it.... was maybe 20 years ago. I woke up and it was a foot and a half on the ground. Lasted about 2 hours after I saw it.
It looks like we're getting peppered at the moment. I could care less until it starts sticking and piling.
This is a tease.
-end your excitement for such a tease-
^_^
...wait for the real thing!!
