Life Goes on...

While taking a break from studying at work i ran across this poem.

The mind never stops wandering, wondering...
About the complexities, mysteries of life.
A pain that is sweet,
A storm that is still... about to...!
It never explains,
Just reflects; the vastness...
What is it?
Unanswered, but still... hopeful am I?... probably... I am.
Struggling in its every moment, every step,
However, whatever, but never ever disappointed, life goes on...

-Shashank Nakate

This poem is so true. Whatever happens everyday, with people, the world, our friends and family. That was yesterday. Today is a new day. Don't fret about disappointments, failures, or the what ifs of yesterday. Life goes on...live it.

My name is Garfield

Man there is nothing like having a weekend filled with hmwk, friends, good times, studying, a little exercise.....and then a monday. It kills me just a little bit every sunday evening when i realize the next day is monday. A little dread if i may say..that i new week of work, school work, and lack of sleep is coming. This is where i wish i had some lasagna, a blanket, and a box where i could curl up and just pretend monday isnt here.
The weekend was fun tho, went to disneyland on friday..in the rain and waited no longer than 5 minutes to get on anyone ride. Finished that night off with some good old fashioned chicken at Guppies with the jk, eric, h.achhoooa, and kent. (sorry kent no nickname). Saturday did homework, essay and then it was off to hang out with friends in LA! That was pretty fun, randomly ran into one of my danish classmates. random. Also saw a lady almost tear these two guys apart at a dennys...for what we will never know. And sunday was just filled with hmwk. boo hoo. And 1/2 a spinkles cupcake. So it ended just perfect.

Devil

Charles Baudelaire
"Le Joueur généreux," pub. February 7, 1864

-Most people think this quote was made for "The Usual Suspects", but it actually came to be almost 200 years ago..

"Usual Suspects Quote"; The greatest trick the Devil ever pulled was convincing the world he didn't exist.

...the actual story and quote...

He did not complain in any way about the bad reputation he enjoyed all over the world, assured me that he himself was the person the most interested in the destruction of superstition, and admitted to me that he had only been afraid for his own power one time, and that was the day when he had heard a preacher, more subtle than his colleagues, shout out from the pulpit:

"My dear brothers, never forget, when you hear the progress of enlightenment vaunted, that the devil's best trick is to persuade you that he doesn't exist!"

Just thought this was interesting

E-Week

Ah its that time of the year again. National engineering week...basically when all around the country all the nerds get together and eat lots of food, build lots of creative contraptions and enter them into competitions. Its just an all around great week. I think this is literaly my favorite week of the school year because normally most engineers you don't see outside the classroom. They all have things to do, or just when done with class they dont want to be at school. This is the one week where people actually come to hang out, talk with the professors, have some fun, eat some food, and enjoy all their hard work throughout the year. Usually every year i do the egg drop competition, but didnt have time this year to build a contraption. Little disappointed, but its okay, i still have one more year after this to at least get top 3, haha. Two attempts so far; first was a asteroid into the ground, the second hit a tree...would have it the target zone and been counted but had to get caught in the branch. One more shot next year! High school shadow day tomorrow, well see if any of those minions ask me a question i dont know and make me look stupid! xp

Life

Sometimes life gives us lemons...make some lemonade.
Other times life opens its door...and i start to think life is just about to get better. Its not often that i wake up and look forward to the day coming with my eyes wide open. Theres a lot of homework, class, worries about jobs, projects, bills, work, friends, and the world falling apart. But every once in awhile someone special comes along that brings a spark to the world around me. Those type of lights are far and few between. Its always a privilege when a spark comes along and decides to come through your door and spend some time with you leaving a mark for time to come.

We can do marvelous things

This is proof that we humans are capable of turning our dreams and imaginations into reality. Proof that we are capable of creating not only masterpieces of art, but also of science.

My coming peacenessness

Next weekend, after this hell bitten week coming up is over...i just want to go on a hike or something. I think i might just turn my phone off, not touch a computer, and free myself. Constant messaging over products, research, notes, hmwk, typing typing typing. I just want to actually feel the sun on my face instead of sitting in the comp lab all day. Next weekend is going to be my weekend. Free of everything that is making me so dam old.

Its official. If theres a god; he is either challenging me...or he plain just don't want me to get a good nights sleep. (sigh...)

LA and the best dance show on earth!! VIBE XV

Well i always have thought of LA as a trash dump. I just kinda look at it and think...that city needs to go. But last friday went down to UCLA to hang and we got lost and saw most of the city...JTown, Little Armenia, Bell Air, Hollywood, China Town, UCLA, and Westwood. It is actually a really diverse and beautiful city. I like how you never see the same restaurant twice...ever. :) Im a food person, and that is so special to have little mom-pop restaurants. Not like Irvine...all franchise. When you look at the city from the roof tops, its really pretty and not noisy like i thought.
Went to VIBE XV....Choreo Cookies won!! Hell yea!! All the teams did so good. But of all the teams, Mike Song's team Abnu Blackops was about the best performance i have ever seen by a dance team. Totally original with spirit. Now its down to buisiness for the next two weeks...labs...tests...and more homework.... :x
