four thirty two on a thursday afternoon
just got off from work. what should I do?
go get my haircut? but then I’d have to go get cash for that since asian places do not take cards. HMMMM
go shopping? I have mountains of clothing but part of me wants to shop for dresses again, to regain my old self so to speak.
continue to lay on my bed and do nothing? it is always nice to do this with a movie on and the internet especially when...
well into January.
are we? oh ho ho life is kinda scary. The last two days have been unpleasantly cold; like seriously I step out after work, and my flesh is coming off due to the cold, wtf? I guess that was my first sign that we are into January. The so-called holidays kinda just passed this year, like I just realized the new year has started and the “happy” season of xmas and new years and all that...

Lots of random blogs about dreams on my dashboard
it doesn’t make me feel all that great given how out of my element I am. I haven’t felt this way in a long, long time; where it seems like everything I do, and whoever I am just doesn’t feel quite enough for the world. I like to look at my life in different compartments and different perspectives for a reason. Because it’s like when something’s not right or going well...

customer conversation at Coach
daughter (in her late teens, early 20s): mom, let me get this ipad holder, since santa’s getting me an ipad right?
mom: who told you that?
daughter: cause he is.
mom: well I don’t know about that, santa might be low on money this year seeing how the economy is so shitty.
I get it now, nothing in life is supposed to be...
but I suppose we are all just gonna have to live with that, including yours truly. Sometimes I still don’t really know what to do about certain things. I hope that is okay.

Winter is definitely on its way, even though it’s been unreasonably sunny; can’t complain since it’s helped my mood quite a bit; I’d feel worse if it was sad and gloomy all day.
We’re almost twenty three. In some ways, that bums me out quite a bit. Not in the sense that I am getting older and that I think youth is slipping away, but in the sense that I’ve been...
life after graduation.
Me: Would you still be friends with me if I lived in a tiny apartment and had no money to go out or do anything?
Nathan: You mean the way I am living now? Yeah.
see the thing is
though I am immensely happy with everything I have, sometimes when I allow myself to view life from a different person’s camera, I feel ridiculously swept away with this overwhelming envy. I believe it is true that the grass is always greener on the other side. Though I don’t think of the phrase as its originally, intended meaning. I really DO think the grass will always be greener on...

don't know what's going on
BUT I have another sty. I am closing tonight, I wish I could just skip today, not like skip today’s work but like skip today in general; like I wake up and it’s tomorrow.
Lately I have been wracking my brain for a good solution for my father wanting to go back home so badly. One cannot blame him. I decided I want to stay at the coach job; couple of reasons. One, I am doing extremely...

The call came on Monday night, and it made mention of a man who had fallen off his bicycle and injured himself in a parking lot. So Officer Turner pulled up to the scene, and found Roger Anthony — a local fixture who people call “Rabbit” because he had big ears — rolling down the street on his bicycle. Turner followed Anthony in his patrol vehicle, sirens blaring, and...
I have the hardest time
distinguishing between “hope” and “expectations.” When I was younger, more reckless and completely unaware of all things that matter; I used to believe that there’s no freaking way you can hope for the best while expecting for the worst. The whole thing is just contradictory to me. How can you expect the worst to happen and hope for the best simultaneously? And when...

nothing but gloom in the air
First rain of the season has conveniently brought back my SAD, at least now I don’t need to wash my car; one less thing I need to do. All of the sudden, it is fall.
I miss falls in Davis, the warm leaves and the happy climate, my favorite tree leaves turning completely yellow, all the baby animals that were procreated in the spring are all grown up and out and about, my rain boots put to...

After exposing myself to sociology for so long, I’ve begun to wonder on countless occasions if there IS an absolute truth, or is everything just pretty much relevant. I’ve thought about many things concerning this debate but somehow it doesn’t seem right...

I realized something today
that it is not the existence of opinions that cause harm, it is the unhealthy reaction to those opinions that do damage. But I realized that this is very unnecessary, to react, I mean, to opinions that do nothing on their own. I’ve always understood the idea that our make or break of happiness comes from our reactions to things that happen to us, but at this moment I’ve discovered the...
Nathan said I was too dramatic

Boy, that kinda sucks. I guess I’d rather be dramatic than not, though.
what's the deal with urban dictionary?
so far, it proves to be the most sexist thing calling itself a “dictionary.”
here’s the first definition they gave for “sandwich”
