the uber fun pre-Christmas post
I can't think of a better title, can you? So I worked the last three days and I can not honestly remember what all I did. I'm just tired of talking to people now. So much Christmas spirit in the air... lol.

moodz
I don't know why I've been so angry lately. I have some assumptions. Perhaps I can not wait until this blasted semester is over. Actually I think that is about it. I have two more finals that I do not plan to study too hard for. I just want them to be over, that is it. Ok yeah. Fun.
I was happy tonight. I bought a TV for the dining room. Yeah I know. Another TV. I don't even watch TV anymore. I only have it on for the news. It's constantly on CNN. Yeah that's what I got it for. We mounted it on the wall. I got some of the cables figured out. I need to get a couple more sets tomorrow and we're set. It looks great though. I'm surprised at how good it looks. Considering it is one of our house brands. LOL.... I BELIEVE!!!! =p

some things to mull over
I lost my voice. I caught something last weekend, didn't really turn into anything major, and now a part of my throat hurts and my vocal chord decides to take a break. Which is fine, until somebody who refuses to use the advent of texting, go as far as to block them, try to call me over and over. No, you dumb shit, I lost my voice, and I strained my voice even more to try to tell you that so you'd stop calling and waking me up from my drug induced coma.
There is one major reason why I don't like talking to people over the phone. They insist on calling you but they never actually listen to what you are saying. It peeves me that I am wasting my time and energy trying to explain something to you and you are not actually listening.
I actually don't mind it if I were mute. That way I would stop and think before I communicate with people. With well thought out words instead of the randomness coming out of my mouth.
Resolution #1: Talk less. Unless I have something substantial to say.
Ah yes, I came up with some resolution type stuff the other night when I was scribbling in my notebook. I hate resolutions. Nobody ever keeps them and they are so cliche. I don't want to keep them as resolutions because they have a start date and it's a bit of a jinx.
I went to Borders the other day because I had a coupon. Why else would I go there? I had a 50% off coupon for a particular book I have wanted for a few months. So I went to pick it up. I fell into the Oprah trap and got her latest book club selection. It's because it's a historical thriller. Who doesn't like that idea? Anyway. I was looking through the clearance section and they had a book journal. What a good idea, I thought to myself. I got something else for it, because the one I saw was ugly. Something to log down what I have read and what I need to read. I like that idea.
Good idea #2: Read more books via a book journal. Title, author, year, genre, thesis, and check for read. Simple as that.
I am in love with the Moleskine journals Borders sells. Simple and not flashy. Very portable. I got the journals that are a pack of three. It works out really well because I don't have to carry around a big journal. Each section is 80 pages and I can write roughly a page a day. Unless I'm sitting at a Starbucks with a peppermint mocha and Christmas music in my ear then maybe I can generate about four pages. Which I did. In the last few months I found writing to be very important to me.
Good idea #3: Write more via journals, blog, or whatever scrap of paper I can find.
I have been so lazy lately. I had so many excuses to not exercise. I haven't gained any weight lately but I'm starting to feel heavy. My schedule for next semester is more flexible and I can certainly exercise more. I had a daily checklist I used for the beginning of the semester and I have sort of abandoned it. I plan to revive and revise it.
Good idea #4: Exercise more, eat smarter, and crate a routine with daily checklist.
I finally received my official half marathon finisher t-shirt and key chain about a week ago. I'm proud to show it off. Not to mention the t-shirt is one of the new Nike essentials and it's incredibly comfortable. Not that I would pay 30 bucks for it myself. Anyway, I will most likely make the run again next year. The thing is, I need to train for it, which brings back the regular exercise thing.
Good idea #5: Run at least one half-marathon and try not to die from it. Aim for a full marathon the year after.
One of the final things on my mind lately is about school. I have two more finals left and I think I will do fine in them. I'm not too worried. I have the next semester to look forward to. Then I should be done. People are asking me if I'm excited and all. I'm sort of 'eh' about it. I've gone through this once before, and I'll believe it when I hold that diploma in my hand.
Great idea #6: Finally graduate.

urban dictionary
I don't think anyone is going to believe me, but I know the guy who created urban dictionary. In fact I had two classes with him when I was in Poly. I did some group projects with him in those classes on user interface stuff. I was one of the first hand full of people who played around with urban dictionary and sorta nicely brushed it off as one of those useless stupid things.
How wrong I was.
He is not the type of guy you would go and point out as the creator of a cultural phenomenon. I guess that's what happen with nerds. When I was still down there we would say hi and chat for a few minutes every time we run into each other. I don't think he remembers me now.

last day of class
I had my last day of class for the semester today. I will not be taking the final on Wednesday, so that leaves me two days off and 4 finals left. Not too bad. It's weird to think the hardest part is over when finals week just started. But that is the case for me this time. This whole semester was full of challenge, mainly time constraint. I think I learned a lot about myself. The writing class was arguably most beneficial since I place so much weight on my writing of late. I learned to write with a purpose. To find an audience. To have a defined voice. Anyhow, I should sleep. I should rest while I can. Winter vacation is coming.
p.s. My graduation documents have been processed from the college of business, it just has to go through administration now. I should be walking at the end of next semester.

windows of opportunity
I was looking through the different shows I can watch tonight and a new show intrigued me. New Amsterdam was a show I was fairly interested in at the beginning of the summer. It never appeared because the big wigs at Fox decided to shelf it. From what I gathered they only produced seven episodes and probably won't go for any more. So why did I get to see it tonight? The writer's strike. They simply ran out of things to show. I guess even Fox can't get enough dumb people to go on their reality shows. But you know what, I'm glad I got to watch it. I liked it. There were some humor in there that I find quirky. How does this guy know so much? Well he's been living for 300 years for one... and went to a few educational institutions. I would too if I lived for that long. Anyway, I hope they air the rest of it. Possibly make more since 24 is getting push to lord knows when. Not that I've watched that for a while now.
Oh the other thing I liked was they used Your Heart is an Empty Room as the end credits for the pilot. How fitting. That got me to listen to my sappy folk songs. Had some Death Cab, now I'm back on David Gray. I used to say I have a soundtrack to my life. I think I lost track of that for a while. I don't know what it can be now. I'm not in any particular mood for any prolonged period of time. I have a tendency to go back to things that takes me back. It's a mental connection thing. I'm looking through my collection again. It's the experience factor. What music do to me so that it draws out emotions and make me recall events and link them all together. Is that how memory works? I know that's how a romantic comedy works.
I told my friend to remind me of what I said if I ever express an interest in teaching English. Reading other people's papers are frustrating. Most of the papers I read were fine, but some of them are real gems. I can't understand how muddle people's thoughts can be. I honestly think some of my free writes are more organized then what I read. I don't know what's going on with people. Anyway, school is almost done for the year and I really need a break. I need to stop and really think about what I want to do. There's still so much to do. I feel like I'm sort of drowning a bit. I know I'm not, because I know what it's like when it is worse. Everything seem so much easier after I have hit bottom. I have that "could be worse" attitude.
I don't really want to leave the job I have right now. But I'm also not too keen on some of the many changes also. I think I need to make some hard choices fairly soon. The last few weeks have been pretty demoralizing at work. I'm tired of fighting about my schedule. I'm tired of people taking my work for granted. I'm doing things at work that's not even part of my job and they are some how expected of me. Even worse, they don't give me the time and resource to do it. I do wonder about why I'm still there and not look for something better. I think I'm too comfortable.

December
December crept up on me last night. I wasn't expecting it, then BAM! it was here. It has been exceptionally cold the last few nights. It's freezing in the afternoon. I must have printed about 60 pages of stuff today. I was thinking about what to do with all that paper. I can use them as scrap paper... Or something a little more interesting. I was thinking I can use it for sketching and stuff, much like what I'm doing with that paper journal thing I've been posting. Think of it like a B-side release. I've printed way too many articles this semester. I'm sure there will be more for the next. So yeah, something. No I'm not eager to look for a "real job", but I suppose I should be. It looks like I'm almost done with school. So yeah... *sigh*
