YES!

I made it!! I passed!!! I'm so excited....

Now we will have 2 stress-free days....then 5 more weeks of physics. D:

I am feeling creative but I am not energetic enough to do anything. Except fly a ship. :)

MAHABHARAT and other things

Bwaaah, so I find myself stuck in St. Louis because I missed passing chemistry by .7%. I beat myself up everynow and then, thinking of what it'd be like since I would be HOME. :(

Even worse news is that summer physics ends the EXACT day of the Depeche mode concert. :( BOO HOO, I won't get to see my beautiful dave and angelic martin....gosh.

Good news is that I rejoined my Star Trek simm, where I get to play my awesomest character ever, Vivian Edwards. She's based on Shikamaru from Naruto, but is extremely quirky. :P

Speaking of manga, I'm also super excited about the funimation dub for One Piece. I'm also excited my roommate/friend Dana will be trying the series out, I hope she likes it. She liked Dragonball, and considering how the manga-ka for One Piece worships the author of Dragonball...heh heh.

Okay, biggest news yet is that I just found out about an Indian (From India) epic on par with The Iliad, Mahabharata. I found the ebook of the translation, and I'm reading it and then watching the Live action version I found on youtube. I'm really excited--live action? YES! Not to mention most of the guys in it are really cute, soo....and they're usually royalty, so double bonus. The other cool thing is that I also found the main story of Lord Rama, Ramaya? or something. :P I'm all set. The funny thing is, I heard more about the Lord rama stuff from my World Myths book I got years ago when I was in middle school....I guess it pays to read. :)

But serious news...This coming week is the last week of chemistry, and I have to kick butt on the last quiz and final exam or i"m SCREWED. So much pressure, aaaaghh....hopefully my lab points help bring up the grade. even by 3 percent is good. :(

Okay well time to go back to Indian epics.....

'tIl next time.

Concerting Concerting....

I wrote the title out to the tune of "promises promises"....heh heh...

Yeah I just went to a Flogging Molly one, freaking inSANE. Being st. patty's, it's understandable that the mosh pit went nuts, but I forgot. Yeah, I forgot. And when the band came out to Blitzkrieg Bop, my friend and sister and I got thrown around like a bag of potatoes. CRAZY. I wouldn't have minded if I wasn't wearing glasses, but I always have been...yeesh.

Good concert, though. Very lively. my third FM one so far. :) I got to say hi to Dennis, the guitarist. :D And saw their accordionist, Matt Hensley, up close with my eyes for the first time (So thankful he's still touring with them.)

Anyways, geez after reading my posts the whole "i'm going to MEtallica thing", uh, yeah that was like four months ago. oh geez....well I wrote a concert review of them for my college newspaper, which never got printed. Let's just say in a nutshell seeing Kirk Hammett being able to fit in tight jeans was WORTH it (as well as the tear-jerking harmonies between him and James....mmm!) Beautiful. Just beautiful. And to eat them up with my eyes. (I've loved Metallica ever since my uncle gave me the Black Album when I was like....13? 14?)

Ermkay, and so next update is that I got tickets for Depeche mode this summer!!! Super special, since I think Depeche Mode's the only band I listen to that have super sexy songs, and a super sexy frontman (sorry I'm into older guys, they usually look better....) As a youtuber commented on a video, Dave has matured into a fucking awesome frontman. I couldn't agree less....

Not to mention I've never even been to a live dj set, so seeing as how they synth things up it'll be the closest thing to it. I had to walk past a poster of ATB many times at the Congress Theater when I was seeing Flogging MOlly.....this Saturday the man will be dj-ing.....super sad face. :((

After Depeche Mode I will be all set for my top 5 bands, having Rammstein and Daft Punk left. (For Rammstein, getting them over here will be a hassle, and getting over to Germany will be one. Same for Daft Punk, not to mention they won't be using the light pyramid no more. NOOOO)

Buuutt.......seeing gorgeous Dave dance it out will be totally worth it......so excited.


Let's just pass chemistry and physics this summer and I'll be okay.

My aunt gave me an early birthday present, which included an Ipod shuffle.

WHHAAAT?! i feel a ton more pressure now, geeez.....but thanks. :) She's so nice. Her kids are cute, but sometimes (okay usually) really brattish.....oh well hoping for the best.

I also made my first snailarium with snails that came with a bunch of Vietnamese long collianders that my mom bought. We got around 16 tiny snails in a huge glass jar. i can't tell which is which, but one tried to escape and we temporarily named it Speed Racer.

I also visited my old high school, it was weird but good, seeing my underclassmen friends. Seeing old teachers was fun, too. I'm still glad I'm not going there anymore, though....but I'm not happy to go back to school next week. Ew.

well....DEPECHE MODE.

pictures later when the computer isn't freezing up. -_-

I don't feel like I have anything to write when I get to the blog page.

Other than at the moment I really, really, passionately, like 80's New Wave.

I was listening to New Order's "True Faith" (I fell in love), and I just realized that it was played during American Psycho.

HA. That movie was so messed up. Yet entertaining. (Say it in the Bateman fake-enthusiastic voice.)

By the way, feed me a stray cat.

I also thought Pete Burns was wildly entertaining back when Dead or Alive was around. (He looked better, too.)


I also admire people who age gracefully (*cough* Pete Burns didn't *cough*)


I think that's like a "HOLY SHIT WTF HAPPENED" moment.

...David Sterry from Real Life looks normally old.


Not too bad.

What surprised me was that Axl Rose doesn't look that old. 46, yeah...he was a cutie back then though. I agree with what someone said online. Now he looks like a "ginger Ali G"...haha.

And on the topic of New Wave, how about David Gorgeous Gahan from Depeche Mode.....



Now that's a concert I would go psycho at. Like, nuts. Insane. Even more so than for the

METALLICA



concert this Monday. Pretty excited...this'll be my first time hearing their songs live. The tickets were ghastly, but seeing as how they might not play much longer (Lars said it all depended on his drumming's stamina....*tear*). I'm sitting by the runway so I can get me some yummy Kirk goodness.

Well time to start some homework like I was supposed to...then I'll watch me a Denzel movie. Also another yummy...
to think he's just 53.....

Oh, and a list after my own heart: GILFy Pleasures (Grandpa/Granda I'd Like to.....:D :D)

My own insignificance disturbs me

Haha, no I'm not going to go on a tirade of my worthlessness. More of an analysis.....yet again.

I was at the beach, not swimming, but rather trying to be silly and digging a trench in the sand towards my sister who was trying to brainstorm a few feet into shore.

well time was running out for my trench, since we were about to leave. So I discarded the idea of trench and connected my hole to the water.

What was interesting was that the abandoned trench provided the perfect spot for me to put myself in while I dug the trench to the beach. And it amused me in how that was great evidence for that idea of "when things don't work out it isn't always for the worse". Haha.

And when I finished my "lake-capture device" (I'll try to post a pic up), I knew it would be washed away anyway.

But it got me thinking about the Butterfly Effect, and I was wondering: What exactly did my trench hole thing cause? Would it actually change waves or something? And influence something offshore?

Now that I think of it, perhaps the effect wasn't necessarily water-related. As I remember there were people around me, did I inspire a train of thought that would eventually combine to be the force behind an action?

See, I'm a writer, and I keep tabs on my environment a lot, finding inspiration and etc. So I always wonder if something I did or someone else did served as inspiration. Interesting!

And the title of this post has got me, in that yes if considering the big picture we seem insignificant, but like a picture or anything, we are PIXELS, and alone we are insignificant and unimportant, but together....together we MAKE the picture. Amazing.

And that's a fact. I influence the people and environment around me in the most beneficial way possible, and hope that the effect carries on. That's all we can do, since we ourselves can't really "see" the big picture, we just hope.

Sweet.

Freaky

Being the thought-rambler that I am, a few nights ago I was thinking of the whole "We are made in God's image" deal. (This idea also explains gender in heaven, or so at least I think that's what we talked about in religion class).

Anyway, so I was thinking about that, and I was mulling over how we humans are so diverse, so unique, everyone is different. DNA, experiences, everything.

And that God was all of that.

I was like "WHOA MAN".

So out of this world.

Makes sense then, that God's everything. He must have had a looottt of love to split himself up like that. But don't they say "God's infinite love" or something?

Tough love too, some of His pieces self-destruct. Too bad.

And while we're on the subject of people and their uniqueness....

I wish I knew everyone's life history. I'm pretty much a knowledge junkie, and it's not gossip that makes me want to know about people. Because it's their pasts that show me what they are like and what might have influenced them (I'll never for sure, just speculation based on the evidence provided).

That's when I wish I was God, so I could know everything.

But that comes at a sacrifice, doesn't it, knowing everything means you have to bear the weight of the troubles that come from it. Tough, tough.

But yeah.....I would love to know about people. They are so interesting....

Interesting!

So yesterday my mom spilled shrimp broth in the fridge, went ballistic and I had to go help clean it up with Lysol. Unfortunately she demanded the rag be wrung dry almost, and so I proceeded to do so to avoid having her explode again. So I did that. For about 10 times. Probably around 3 wrings a go.

It was all done in good nature. Then I went to church to practice organ (it's a blast), and for some reason I was just tired! Not the lethargy that I usually get around 3, but...my wrists were aching, it was odd for someone who's been playing piano for 15 years.

The way I lay it out now in this post it seems logical to why it ached. But I really had no clue. I thought it was because I had practiced a ton on the piano the night before (it was nice).

Then I thought of the explanation about last night or this morning. (That explained my strange bicep cramp, which I haven't been getting since school ended.)

Weird, how my mind didn't really connect things. But I love connecting, nonetheless.

It got me thinking, of how in the bigger picture it takes us time to digest information, to connect. And stuff that happens now, like break ups or something equally drastic.....the effects, beneficial or not....can only be realized after some time has passed.

I guess it's not possible for us to see the bigger picture until we distance ourselves from the past. I keep thinking we see life as if through a tube, and only when we pass something we can stop and look behind to study it, since we're moving most of the time.

Time.....reminds of those Tramlafordians or whatever they were in Slaughterhouse-Five. HAhahaa.....
