It's 1:23 a.m. About 20 minutes ago my dad finally got the toilet up and running, sort of, after about 2 hours. Why did he start working on it at 11? Good question, I'm going to assume it was mainly because he was drunk, but no big deal really, just had to listen to him bitch about it. As far as everything else goes though there really hasn't been too much happening. The other day I bought a pipe, of which I have yet to use, but that day is nearing. Other than that nothing real exciting has happened, I worked a couple days, turned in an application for my summer job and that's about it. I've mostly been sleeping, hanging out, and avoiding finishing this paper. I guess the main reason I'm even really typing this one out is because: 1) I wanna test out that new Retweet button you see on the right there. 2)I have a story that, if you're interested in any type of sci fi, you should enjoy, and 3) it's been quite awhile since the last blog.

Basically that's all I got for ya, here's the link to that story: http://www.asimovs.com/_issue_0206/thedaysbetween.shtml

Postdate: No Idea...

Wow, it's been over a week since my last post, but then again, time has been going way too fast lately. That's mainly due to the fact that I have had an incredible amount of work to do lately. First we had this project due today that was meant to be in book form, that took quite a bit of time, then I had another project due which takes some time because there is a lot of math and drawing required to do the assignment. On top of that we had a test for our Landscape History class which is pretty tough, so I had to study for that as well. Needless to say, 3 days later, at least 2 all nighters, being in the studio from 9 a.m. Wed. til 11 a.m. Thurs. made me pretty damn tired, I'm surprised I'm even still up, but once again my sleep schedule is all screwed up, no surprise. I did realize one thing last night/ this morning though while talking to a couple friends in the class. No matter how much work I have to do myself I will try and help someone with their project. I'm not real sure that's a completely good thing, in a way it's good that I'm helping someone, but at what cost to me? I enjoy helping them, but sometimes I get bogged down helping 3 or 4 people in a row. It's really no big deal this time around because I did get it done, it just took longer than expected. It also doesn't help working on computers, one because it's difficult to understand right away, so a lot of people have questions, and two, after working for 5 hours straight staring at a computer screen your eyes really begin to hurt and your brow feels like it's going to explode. All in all though I feel like my project came out pretty well, along with most everyone elses and I hope everyone got their projects in on time. Other than that though not much has really been going on sadly, so that is where I will stop this.

It seems as though this week is starting to look up somewhat. First our deadline for our project got pushed back several days from Sunday to next Friday. Only problem is I still need to do research and write a five page paper by Thursday. Other than that though it's only really been small things going on.
First I think I'll mention one of the things going on in my family. It seems as though my step-aunt is no longer happy in her relationship with my uncle. You know, that's all fine and dandy, I can't control his or her feelings, but when she starts posting semi-slanderous things on Facebook about some of the problems there having or just plain badmouthing him, well, in my eyes that's out of line. I actually said something to her about it at one point, and it stopped for awhile after that. Other things are happening at the moment right now, or at least I think they are, seeing as she deleted me from her friends. I'm not really sure how that solves any problems, but if she'd like to go about it like some high school teenager all the power to her.
Another thing that I've kind of realized recently is that thanks to Landscape Architecture I have made some great friends. Glad I met them, I really can't go more in depth than that cause there isn't much more to say.
So, I guess I'll just go back to what I was saying a bit earlier. At some point you would think people would grow up. Apparently that's not the case, and I'm not really sure what is wrong with people these days. One thing is the over exposure everyone on a social networking site gets, yet you can control how much you actually expose and for some reason quite a few people have a problem with that, including me in some instances, but nothing near as serious as marital problems. What's even worse is the people that think they know it all. I see these comments about 'all men are the same' and 'he's just an ass, you're gonna have to deal with it'. Damn straight you deal with it, don't fucking post it all over Facebook for your dumbass friends to comment on because they've 'been through it all before'. I wonder why you've been through it all before, maybe because you're a megacunt, I don't really know you woman, but that's definitely how you come off. Shit, I wouldn't even fuck you with your ex husband's dick. Anyway, back on topic. I sit here and say people need to grow up, kind of hypocritical really after that last little rant I just had, but that's just it, I'm still growing up, I'm 19, I've got a lot of good times ahead of me before I go out into the real world. So maybe I don't have these relationship problems, but dear god, if you can post this shit on Facebook and not even confront the man you married about it what kind of spine do you have? Facebook, Twitter, and social networking site, THEY ARE ALL PUBLIC. How difficult is it to get that through your head? I think I'm going to quit talking about this before I get really pissed, and I'm sorry for ranting or and offensive language. But I think a small part of me is actually hoping that somehow the people this is about read this, I'm ready for the shit storm, they can't really pack any kind of punch from what I've seen of their comments.
Overall though I'd say I'm in a pretty good mindset right now considering some things. Like how me and a girl in my class went to this Oriental restaurant and I am now feeling like shit, although I do feel much better now. I'd say this is the end of the blog for tonight, but I'd like to leave you with something I came up with from that time paper I had to write.

Time is nothing more than the moments we manufacture, so make the most of it.

March 6, 2010

Dear god it's been awhile since I posted one of these, and I feel bad for that. But these last few weeks have just been busy as hell, so much that I can't really remember a whole lot that had gone on. The one thing that I do have on my mind is this paper that we had to write for a class recently. It was 3000 words about Time. It sounds vague, it was vague. But it kind of got me thinking about how time really affects us, and seeing as I would've probably written way more than I need to if I really got into it I didn't explore some of the stuff I would have liked to. But one thought really popped into my head, if you really look into it time is nothing, it is only what we make it. For instance, take a look at all the different calendars there are. They are all fabrications of what each society believes time is. One year in China is a different one that say in America. That's not to say the entire world isn't on the same schedule though, because it is, and I'm not entirely sure how that came about, just a wide acceptance of some kind of standard I'm assuming. But if you take a little time to explore what it might be like if absolutely no one invented a calendar you might be surprised at what all wouldn't take place. First of all we would have no type of scheduling whatsoever, therefore we couldn't work, so we wouldn't have any kind of currency. No currency means no economy, so we would be bartering goods. Travel would also be affected. In fact, we would probably have to walk everywhere. Most everything we have would be gone. It seems as though time works as the base for everything else to function. Take this scenario. You're late for your haircut. This means that your appointment is behind, which pushes back the one behind you a little more, and the gap gets increasingly bigger, imagine if that went on for infinity, that last person, theoretically of course, would never be able to get a haircut, therefore being the most epic hippie ever. Unfortunately a lot of what I am thinking is hard to express through written word, and it's just too long, but I feel like I could talk about this idea for hours. I would probably get frustrated eventually because I would just not find any answers, but sometimes not finding answers is more gratifying in that you grow your thought process a little more. Regardless, that's the tangent I'm on tonight, if you've got anything to add don't hesitate to do so.
