Yay, it is almost time for me to leave work.. Unfortunately today that does not equal it is time for me to go home,, , but that's OK< it's another step in the right direction. I have nothing to say again, just some time to kill at work. about 3 minutes anyway. Blanca tried to explain something philisophical in Translation class today. Thanks to Kamran I got what she was trying to explain, but most of us were bewildered and mainly confused. She is not a philosopher, so she can't be blamed! Ah, anyway. I see in front of me tons of work to do this week again. it wouldn't be so much if I weren't going places on the weekend (I don't have to explain this to Julie G, do I!?) Oh well, I will get it done. It always seems to end up that way. I'm gonna go now. Have a good day. Keep being yourself, unles you don't like that person; then do what you can to change!
Sólo cuando te amas puedes amar el mundo.
(just smile and nod,,, and agree)

whole lot of not much

Um, I'm compelled to write, but I have nothing to say. Is that weird? That's OK so am I! I have recently had to shift my workout/day schedule plans,,, that sort of sucks, cuz I liked how it was. But i'll make it work. now maybe Julie and I can go together.. That wouldn't suck. I had my first art history 2 test. I'm not gonna say I nailed it by any means, but I think i did OK. And I should have after all the darn studying i did.. Julie G, you know how it is! I think I even did more than I did last year. That's a lot. We need to go to a coffee shop again and do homework (or not) again sometime soon. Especially when it's nice enough to walk. That was a good time. My sister and Jeremy got back from their honeymoon,, she said it was awesome (how could it not be, right?) This weekend I think we're going to go help them move into their new house! Yay exciting. It all deepends on the physical and mental state of my husband.. He is in San Antonio this week, he traveled to Illinios last week, and Monday he has to be in Wisconsin Rapids. . . I'm a little concerned over his health. . traveling can really wear ya out! The next weekend we have a wedding. It should be better than the last because we have a room in the hotel, so if I am not having fun, I am not stuck there sober like last time. Not the last as in my sister's , that was obviously awesome... . the last as in the other one of his friends'!!! Anyway, that was all just what I thought up when I felt like writing. Whatever. Have a bright and cheery day!

Last I heard, America had claimed independence from its king, no?

You hide behind your screen
Tell and say and shout and scream
Lies aren't real if you don't know
So you don't find out and
Say it so. . . S...L...O...W..
Slow and sincere are not the same
But we let you play your stupid game
King of the mountain there you are
Climb us higher to fall so far
You get no thanks you've got no mind
For truth and justice just for the kind
Of moral values gone to hell
While you try to rule us with your spell
We've terror in our hearts
It's in our ears and in our eyes
But all we fear is just the blind
Not those whose eyes can't see
But those who turn from misery
So they don't notice in front of them
That the real problem comes from within
Their cold hearts and ignorant minds
But you don't care cuz now's YOUR time
Well our time's comin and you better flee
Cuz watch what happens, yes you'll see
The world and it's people TRULY free.

part of a bright eyes song

This is part of a Bright Eyes song.. sorry, i don't know the singer's name or the title of the song, but i agree w/ it! ::

Well my teachers they build this retaining wall memory
All those multiple choices I answered so quickly
And got my grades back and forgot just as easily
But at least I got an "A," so I don't have them to blame.
Well I should stop pointing fingers--reserve my judgement
Of all those public action figures--the cowboy presidents
So loud behind the bull horn, so proud they can't admit
When they've made a mistake.
Well poison, it spews from a speach writer's pen
He knows he don't have to say it so it...it don't bother him
Honesty Accuracy it's just popular opinion
And the approval rating's high
So someone's gonna die.
Well ABC NBC CBS bullshit! They give us fact or fiction
I guess an even split.
And each new act of war is tonight's entertainment
We're still the pawns in their game
as they take eye for an eye until no one can see
And we must stumble blindly forward repeating history
Well I guess we all fit into your slogan on that fastfood marquee
Red blood and white skin, oh and the blues
Oh and the blues I got the blues,
That's me!

happiest ever

Last weekend was the happiest time in my life (for another person). I mean I've been happy before, but this was just different and amazing. My sister got married for those who didn't know. I actually got teary at the ceremony. I don't know why, it was just so moving or something. You know what it was.... when they lit their unity candle they had "It's time to say good-bye" and then they each gave a white rose to the mothers. and it was the violin, I love violin! Isn't it funny that they had "It's time to say goodbye" as their song at that time,,, it was so beautiful though! Perfect. That's how the whole day was... PERFECT. I couldn't have had a better time, I swear. It was so awesome and I got to spend time with Kari, one of my bridesmaids that I never see hardly cuz she lives in Grand Forks.. and that was good too, but just the atmosphere and the grandness of the whole affair was so awesome. If you don't know how my wedding was, it was quite tiny.. a little chapel in the woods and then a pretty small reception at the country club. It was perfect too, but just to contrast the two... They had almost 400 people at their wedding and more at the reception. The ceremony was in a big, beautiful church in Fargo, and their reception was in the Crystal Ballroom in the Ramada. I won't tell you how much it cost for just the room for that night, but it was more than my whole wedding cost (I'm pretty sure) and that includes the dress! It was SPLENDID. Haha, I used splendid. OK, now I'll quite bragging for my sister and brag for myself.. I had to give a toast! Holy cow that's a lot of people to give a toast in front of! But I did a good job! Thank God,,, i was SO nervous. OK< I will shut up I am sure you're all bored!

A song for the rights

You know how I'm always talking about my left brain eating time away from my right brain? Well, let's give our left brains a break for a while and write a song. or just sing a song. Or draw or paint or dream (not in the logical way, like, what is the meaning of life, because it's gotta be logic) That doesn't really work I don't think, although I shouldn't say that because I've spent such little time doing it. Haha.. maybe i should try, but then I think I'd get my head all hurting and all imbalanced. Whatever.. let's write or sing, or both :) How 'bout tonight
