had a long day
school was okay, I have a lot to do and a lot of me to do it
there was a housewarming
'Quarter Century'
Time places knowledge and opportunity amidst
Wrinkles on her forehead
And sleepy ice-kitten drawings
Silhouette strange ripples of change
In the silver new morning daybreak

WinAmp: I love the new Winamp5, by the way. It's got great visualizations >
I'm listening to Paperboy - Ditty while a pink circle and now a weird alien looking rainbow float across my screen. Wow.

When I was a young one, when my soup was too hot my mother would put in an ice-cube to cool it down. Now, when it's too hot, I usually burn my tongue. Almost always. It's so hard to wait for cool soup.

New Scientist: The Last Word Science Questions and Answers
Saturday, February 21
New Scientist: "What causes extra drunkenness when drinks are mixed?"
some news website: Campaign officials said in interviews that they plan substantial positive advertising about the president, focused on his proposals rather than accomplishments, when they begin spending tens of millions of dollars on the airwaves next month. But they made it clear that many of the ads will accuse the Democratic front-runner of "hypocrisy," in McKinnon's word, in part by reaching back into his early career.
they don't love you like I love you

sometimes it just does
the night comes late
two cups of coffee
cushioned ice kiss
two at a time
shiny silver happy pain
coconut asfault
lasting kindness
and marlboro friendships

I am drunk from a happy hour with psychology people and am currently listening to a live version of Coldplay - Yellow.
and it was all yellow
I remember a SNL skit line... "I liked them better when they were U2"
I wonder what my personality would be like if I didn't always remember... if I wasn't. Funny.
Bitter? Cuttingly intelligent. My brother has a mensa IQ. I miss him and my sister. Maybe I should fly home next weekend. It would be free!
look how they shine for you
aside: just because I am becoming an avid counterculturalist, does that mean I can't like the new buzzworthy: Yeah Yeah Yeahs - Maps?

...in the midst of a Bob Schneider Tarantula solo.... the keyboard player slips in the theme from Peanut's that Linus (I think) plays on the piano. A big smile on my face. Classy. Then home to do laundry. I rule.

stress alert: orange
but I saw a man on a uni-cycle in the bike lane on campus. I <3 Austin sometimes. All the time? I love JP Java. They play good music to keep my learning great and good.

point: "romance is dead. it was acquired in a hostile takeover by hallmark and disney, homogenized, and sold off piece by piece." add to that the fact that even wholesome family stuff is still for sale on two fronts: case in point > hillary duff, disney's young cash crop-- part of a media process exploiting the pure-virgin moralistic ideal to sell optical music disks and $8 movie stubs, has also recently been seen in a music video more steamy than any I was in when I was 15. Way to make a profit on two fronts, mega-Disney-co. Walt (the sexist animation-genius which he was), would be proud.
counterpoint: true romance will always be pure. but it comes from homemade arts-n-crafts and is not something you can get at Wallmart.
if you need a break from mainstream media, turn off your television and think for yourself, create or participate in the resounding cacophony of enjoyable media improbabilities: case in point > The Thnikkaman: "yea, shut up kids" (remember to click around at the end of the email).
Be a good counterculturalist today! (man, this entry was obtuse... I better go study and put my time wasting to better use). Yours,

William Hung: the Hong Kong Ricky Martin: Who say's an engineering student with a dream can't... hell I don't know. This is funny though. If you enjoy, sign the petition to send him to LA: he deserves it!

Saw Julian Marley tonight against my better judgement in that I should have studied. However, I enjoyed. Myself. Now I am listening to the Pixies, Hey. Julian Marley was very tall and skinny, and dressed like papa Marley. I wonder how Julian Lennon turned out. To be a rock star kid.
uh is the sound
that the mother makes
when the baby breaks
we're chained... chained
Goodnight Jamaica,

I was thinking that it seems criminal to keep me at a near-death stress-work elevation for two-years, just so I can become a member of my chosen profession in the way I want to be. I came across a Samuel Clements quote which seemed appropriate:
"Life would be infinitely happier if we could only be born at the
age of eighty and gradually approach eighteen."
- Mark Twain
Amen,

The song still captivates me, 'So Why So Sad'
My smile as real as a hyena's
Burns an expressway to my skull
But I'll stick myself together again
Spirit so low that I no longer pretend
So why so sad
You live and you love
So why so sad
Dependent on above
Searching for the dead sea scrolls
So why, so why so sad
My smile as real as a hyena's
Burns an expressway to my skull
But I'll stick myself together again
Spirit so low that I no longer pretend
So why so sad
You live and you love
So why so sad
Dependent on above
Searching for the dead sea scrolls
So why, so why so sad

Exploding (exploiding) a whale on purpose with dynomite... hmm: "The humor of the entire situation suddenly gave way to a run for survival" All I can say about this, is, ahem, wow-- reading weblogs can find you in some terribly random chop-sticks.
Ultramodern Antique: "Dear Sarah McLachlin:
Whatever it was that put you in a perpetual funk? GET THE FUCK OVER IT. " I found this interesting because, as of three days ago, I was discussing with some SM fans (no not that kind) about how I would have thought that Sarah would have matured into more positive writing over time in order to grow with her audience. I imagine if she captured the hearts of youngsters (12-28) with her previous escapades of sweet sad and sometimes sultry rock, that as those kids got older they would probably be less depressed and want to listen to a less sad Sarah sing with her beautiful voicebox. But Sarah still sells. Records! What's her secret?

Dear friend,
I wonder where I want to live. Northeast? Texas? California? I've never lived in the west... Back east had a chill in the air, a chill on the people, but if I never lived there I would never have understood so many things... the meaning of the Nada Surf lyric:
i've got no time i wanna lose
to people with something to prove
what can you do but let them walk
and make your way down the block
I am beginning to think I only understand my emotions after filtering them through music. Certain songs just tap that long lost lust for a real life that everyday things and everyday people seem to obscure. Then again, sometimes I write my words down in an expulsion of words on paper, a process that sometimes ends up poetic. hmm... I'll share an excerpt from yesterday. Who reads this rant anyway?
in fact it's fantastic
training for choices and not for soul searching truth
agnostic automatic and always
I think I was being sarcastic. What's a better descriptor for my lackluster faith in society and the minds we produce? There needs to be a new word for it. It's not sarcasm... damn. It's something, (back to music), that I think is tapped in the old Ned's Atomic Dustbin album Godfodder [pick it up at a used CD store, you'll love it]. I love everything about it. The loathing, the pride, the verbal contradictions that emphasize the message---
when she looks at me
in that tone of voice
she don't need to make a noise
i can read her thoughts
in capital letters
i've lost her since i've met her
Well, all my love to you and yours,
