Dec 18

My last exam is on Dec 18, and will be done by noon. The end of this semester is cause for celebration, which is why I propose two things: lazer tag and Avatar (a movie in the evening). Also, ice cream should be included in there somewhere. Who’s with me?
(Or if you [...]

In the News

Supposedly these are all real news headlines (with commentary added by the collector).
Man Kills Self Before Shooting Wife and Daughter
(This one I caught in the SGV Tribune the other day and called the Editorial Room and asked who wrote this. It took two or three readings before the editor realized that what he was reading [...]

Entry 840

Then the wind calls your name
And everything is good again
You can run and dance and sing
And frolic and chase with the falling rain
Let go those cares and seize the sky
Release your soul to upwards fly
Claim the heavens of golden blue
Race your heartbeat to a new horizon
Live love laugh, sing scream and cry
Don’t be afraid to [...]

Coop Reality

Academic roosters
Crowing proudly
Crests wobbling
With each cocky strut
Long, arching plumes
Of lauded credentials
Stained with the dust
Of straw and feces
Moved not by reason

Their world unchallenged
Their infertile eggs
Hidden safely beneath
Their stained feathers
Blind to the fences
Blind to the world
Content in scratching the ground
Scraping the surface
For [...]

Oscar Wilde

Gummy Bear Homicide

Today, In Bio my teacher put a gummy bear in a test tube with some liquified powder to see how when sugar breaks down it creates heat and light. What he didn’t mentioned was that it also makes a high pitched sound that sounded like a scream. I was disturbed that I witnessed a murder [...]

Night Bus

It was like I was in two worlds at once, riding the night bus. I looked out the window, and images from the lit city reflected on the glass from the opposite side, superimposing itself overtop of that which actually stood where my eyes fell. Here, a business center in a football field; [...]

Entry 804

I guess I should do a real update; I haven’t done one in forever.
Overall, life’s not too bad. I’m not crazy about school. I have three bad teachers and one sorta-bad/mostly-irritating teacher this term, and I’ve just about decided that I’m done complaining about them. There’s nothing I can do about it, [...]
