Good morning, my fine friends! It’s 2:32AM, and I’m halfway through my day.

I’ve decided technology is a strange and powerful tool. As if it weren’t already obvious. I just find it amazing that today I was sending and receiving emails with many people who went on the trip to Guatemala. So emails came and went from Colorado, Oregon, Guatemala, Washington, and Indiana. It amazes me, really.

Plus, w/ the new Gmail chat feature, I was able to talk to Daniela (she was at work) online for a bit this (Thursday) morning before I watched LOST and went to bed. Yup, only a distance of about 2000 miles between where I live and Guatemala City.

I talked to Pizzo a bit on the chat, too. His wedding is coming up and I’m looking forward to seeing that happen. Plus, bonus feature, I get to visit other friends ’cause it’s one of those long weekends.

So who wants to host the party this time? Just kidding. I’m actually gonna try to plan ahead for once.

Oh, and as for the title of this post, don’t fear too much. It’s a line from a song I found quite intriguing. The whole quote is in my facebook profile if you’re interested.

Anyway, this’ll suffice for today. I hope I’m not boring you to death by posting so much recently, but I’m trying to do this ’cause I feel like it’s good for me to write. Later!

Sometimes I feel like I know myself too well. I’ve gotten quite used to my response in given situations. It’s nice to know how I’m likely to respond, but also frustrating at times where I want something better. Or maybe it’s not hope for something better… it could just be I’d like to be left with something other than the questions-the same questions-my typical response brings about.

Enough of that! I can’t explain what I mean on here without saying too much or too little, so I’m gonna stop rambling.

Things I did to pass the time tonight:
• shopping at Borders — bought the album Chroma by Cartel. I would’ve walked away with a lot more, but a lot of the music I like is so obscure it’s not on sale anywhere other than the internet.
• went w/ Benjamin to a new Japanese restaurant in town — we split 16 pieces of sushi and a sushi roll
• pool at Shorty’s — I played terribly like usual
• searched through my music selection for a song to make a music video to — we’re just hoping to do this for fun
• bet Benjamin $10 he couldn’t get a girl we know from work to dress like a punk chick for a photo and/or the music video
• tried to fix a printer
• talked, talked, & did more talking about life issues related to women
• went to Wal-Mart to buy a chess set
• played chess and lost — it’s alright, my men + queen fought and died valiantly; if only they’d been more valiant…
• now I’m here posting this junk for you to sort through and hopefully take some appreciable meaning from

I’d like to see you find a better use for the time you spend between 8PM & 7AM every day. Sleep? Bah! I’m gonna go eat dinner and go to bed now.

“God created all of us. He’s not a God of the United States, he’s a God of the world.” – Malissa Greer

From “Immigration Rallies Draw Thousands Nationwide” article.

Right on. I’m not gonna say I understand every complex aspect of the issue and there needs to be some type of immigration reform, but some of the ideas people are talking about are retarded. A fence? Felony charges? That’s not going to “fix” anything. I’m not sure there is a way to fix the problem, but arresting people and kicking them back out of the country isn’t going to help anything.

Turn off your lights ’cause I’d rather look at the sky! This must be one of those aftereffects of leaving my city for a brief time. I’m still wishing to see the sky and to eat good-tasting corn tortillas. I bought some little corn tortillas here at home and they taste terrible compared to freshly made ones.

Hmm. I’m listening to a podcast now. The guy called his wife on the phone and is recording it. Basically, he’s publically embarassing her by telling a story. So what I’m thinking… I need to figure out a way to record phone calls so I can embarass people on this website. Wahaha.

Not that I’m any good at embarassing people anyway.

The pile of broken hearts keeps piling up this year. Originally I thought this would be a year of a multitude of weddings, but already three guys I know have had them called off completely or indefinitely postponed. What is up w/ that!?

Rise Against – Everchanging:

in the face of change
is when she turned to me and said,
“i’m not sure anymore…”
and there amidst the waves
and the cloudless skies
that blanket the year before
i watch my life wash ashore

have you ever been a part of something
that you thought would never end?
and then of course it did
have you ever felt the weight inside you
pulling away inside your skin?
and then something had to give
…

Y’know, Proverbs is a really good book. It’s good to get some wise advice. I love getting advice from my friends, and while I listen and factor it into my decisions, none of them are quite as wise as Solomon.

A few verses I noticed most when I was reading before work — Proverbs 4:25-27:

Let your eyes look directly forward,
and your gaze be straight before you.
Ponder the path of your feet;
then all your ways will be sure.
Do not swerve to the right or to the left;
turn your foot away from evil.

Walk, walk, walk, and keep on walking without deviating from the trajectory set before you.

I just realized I’ve got a lot of disparate content in this post and a lack of transitions. Sorry!

Pocky is delicious! Woo!
