not alone...

Most certainly I am not...

There are people out there, old friends...new friends...
and they care...and I can talk to them, and i feel ok...

I am surprised and I feel happy about this...

I don't need the relationship ties that I had anymore...
Though they were good while they lasted, I feel better leaving them behind now...
and lol, I am not bitter or anything...I am just at peace :)

There are some Yoga classes at school that I'm thinking in joining, cause it's been hectic lately and some relaxation cannot do harm :)

Starting out new it's always a great new opportunity :)

I'm a bit hurt, though like the bit part says, just a bit... I won't go on with this (I hope) so I'll just let it out now and be done with it...

I never thought I had to cue this song again, but this is one of those times where 'shitty' doesn't fit cause it's too messy a description to capture the organized madness that he's throwing at me...Madness I tell you...

threw you the obvious and you flew
with it on your back, a name in your recollection,
thrown down among a million same.
difficult not to feel a little bit disappointed
and passed over
when i've looked right through
to see you naked and oblivious
and
you don't see me.but i threw you the obvious
just to see if there's more behind the eyes
of a fallen angel,
the eyes of a tragedy.
here i am expecting just a little bit
too much from the wounded.
but i see through it all
and see you.
so i threw you the obvious
to see what occurs behind the eyes of a fallen angel,
eyes of a tragedy.
oh well. apparently nothing.
you don't see me.
you don't see me at all.

Sundays...

The only bad thing about Sundays, is that for sure, I have to read a book for tomorrow :)...

Have a good one!

Oh god...

Oh god...
It's freaking freezing!!!

HA! (How could I be so naive?)

I laugh at that last post...How could I ever think that a 'slow' week would come up in the middle of the semester. Anyway, I've been working my ass off this week, for work and schoolwork...
I'm so looking forward for it to be 8:40 p.m. already.... I can't wait to get home and really relax.

This Saturday I'm going to another football game, as part of my research project for a class, and I think it's going to be fun (the research not the game)...

Laters

this is a nice surprise...

This week readings are not that hard...
a book for today's class,
3 chapters for wednesday's class
4 chapters for Thursday... This looks promising :)

Hello new world...

I'm going to a football game this next Saturday...I'm going with a new friend and I hope to have more fun than the first time. Also, because I will be conducting my research there. College students behavior in football games...

So, I have to finish this half of the exam today!!! I mean it!!!

Asleep

My sleeping patters are fucked up!
I need to fix this, cause I'm having problems staying awake... Cause now I'm very tired, and I still have a lot of work to do.

My iPhone agent18 cover came today...

Indeed they won't love you like I love you...
On another note, I want to do this traveling thing more frequently,
cause I don't know exactly what it is, but it feels great and
liberating!

NYC from NJ side

A pic to go with that last post.

Returning...

I'm on my way back to DC. I went to a concert: Tegan & Sara..and it was awesome!
This was great...who would've thought that a trip to New York (on my own) was going to be so awesome...cause I met a lot of interesting people on the way...I'm liking this nomadic lifestyle. :)

Total incompetence!

I was going to go out today... and I didn't write down the number correctly...So i ended up not going cause the number I wrote was disconnected apparently!!
Next time, Next Friday it will be!!!

Yesterday, the debate... It was amazing! Palin is creeping me out by the minute though, but they prepped her damn good...I'm just care that people believe her bullshit!

---

I'm going to New York Tomorrow!!!

I need to stop going to bed at 5:00 a.m.
Damn papers!!!

more sad readings...

Again, reading for my school project, I found this...

"Can there be a society without sadness? Can there be a culture without menace? Can the flow of experience, no matter how fantastically different is its cultural elaboration of loss or how serene, optimistic, or trivial its historical configuration of that which must be endured, escape suffering?"

Chapter 5 on Writing at the Margin by Arthur Kleinman

Again...como le dije a la strega, este research me va matar...

Suffering...

I am reading this chapter, cause I’m doing something for a class next week, and I’m going to do my paper on suffering/illness experience/ HIV/AIDS; and I found this interesting, among many other things:

“Suffering is voiceless in the metaphorical sense that silence becomes a sign of something ultimately unknowable. It implies an experience not just disturbing or repugnant but inaccessible to understanding. in this sense, suffering encompasses an irreducible nonverbal dimension that we cannot know-not at least in any normal mode of knowing-because it happens in a realm beyond language. The quality of such suffering remains as blank to thought as the void opened up by a scream.”

David D. Morris, in the Chapter About Suffering: Voice, Genre, and Moral Community in Social Suffering.

My research is so uplifting...

did you?

Watch the debate?
I thought it was awesome how Obama slammed Mccain every now and then with his: "That's not true", 'I didn't say that"...

But overall, it wasn't great great...I know the Sarah Palin debate is going to be more awesome!!! I personally want to see what she has to say...

Let's see how the bulldog with lipstick measures up with the big boys...

man i wish, Hillary would've won or something...I mean, at least VP...
