i love davey. PUPPETS just click. you know you want to. don't get bogged down by the beginning. just keep watching. the second character is pretty good!
I know this may sound strange but I am really worried about the fact that I don't enjoy learning anymore. I am sure that I am supposed to love it, and that it is a command from God that we continue learning all our lives, but I don't relish in my youth, I don't seize the day in opportune situations. I don't take advantage of where I am and what I have at my fingertips.
For this reason I think I am going to begin documenting my journey of learning. I am going to start a blog all about things I am learning, not only trite, funny things I run across, that can be for this blog.
So long, keep your eyes peeled, soon you can read where I am and how far behind I am.
I COULD EAT THIS UP thanks, korres natural products, for being so good to me. courtesy of heleneprablanc I LOVE THIS MOVIE!!!! seriously. gimme some drew barlow-type skaight!
I LOVE THIS GUY, seriously. This is a pen attached to a balloon that moves within the confines of it's cage and allows the wind to express itself (finally) on paper! It makes me want to do more experiments of art over a period of time. It's an art experiment!
I'm trying to have no regrets in anything that i do in my life. it's pretty hard, but i have to learn and love what i do. i can't have horrible feelings about myself. it's just not right w/ me. So i wish that i designed this:
For lack of motivation, this is all i will write for now.
Hello falafel. I've tried, I've tasted. I took the exciting plunge and somewhere deep in the pit of my stomach it screams "PARSLEY IS MEANT TO BE A GARNISH AND NOT A SALAD!" and I am sick all day long after 1/2 a pita.
whatever. i guess i don't like mediterranean food... or i don't like being cultured enough to force-feed myself something "ethnic".
thank you, india, thank you shoarma....but to your parsley i say nay.
SERIOUSLY. if you are asian and between the ages of 17 and 24 and good looking, please take a high res. picture of yourself and email it to me!!!!!!!!!!!
I think that it was interesting on sunday how our bishopric at church read the letter stating that we should strive to be as involved as we can to help fight against the bill to change the ca constitution to allow gay marriage. It is really hard for me as I love and respect all people of all beliefs, moral views and walks of life. I however, as a latter-day saint, believe that marriage is a sacred religious ritual, not a formality of law, but a symbol unto god and that matrimony was meant by God to be between a man and a woman. This is a very troubling and interesting time we live in. I just know that it will get harder and harder to live in harmony and the latter-day saints will continue to be forced to stand alone, in holy places. we will be a strange people, but I believe that God will protect us and that if the country will hold fast to these values that our society will be blessed. I have a testimony that society changes, but God does not. I know that his laws are eternal and that they bring happiness. I know he has a prophet be his conduit here on earth and they have spoken..... so be it. I just wonder if it will make a difference.
so i have come to the realization that i am now a weird blogger because i now love to update regardless of the lack of comments on my blog... yes. i know... no one looks at it. I'm going to start to try to design it better and add some of my own work to it besides my lame-a poems, too have a great day! I love paul rand! steve jobs!
so i'm doing lots of research for astro on marketing ideas and more stuff for the website. i get to look at cool websites for hours and hours... check out this one.
i wrote this poem on the train yesterday: I know i am selfish to write these things at all It is truly painful to recall every touch ing sentence uttered in the beginning 1st 2nd and 3rd bases traces of those thoughts hold fast in memory but not in action I love the man you want to be the man i want you to want to be the man I want this becomes the man i want oh how can i explain it different oh you got it. oh. so wait it doesn't really matter what i want, does it? people do lots of pretty things to each other when they're in love i'm looking for something else i guess so wait you mean you know i'm looking for something else or that you just don't want me? oh yeah. I guess it doesn't matter what you want because we don't want anything
I'm REALLY not as emo as i seem...

This weekend i may have gotten sick. I felt like i had a sore throat but it was weird because it was like on one side of my mouth.... and then my tongue ached like as if jordan had pulled on it with his bare hands again... (ouch that totally strained my tongue) and then i realized it was actually a pain in my gums and then i felt it in my tooth, so maybe it's worthy of a root canal (or maybe a MINI root canal) which i didn't know existed until abby told me about it. I saw 3 movies this saturday. THey were: Persepolis (**** totally awesome, beautiful and informative) Wanted (2 1/2 ** totally awesome action, maybe best ever action, but story kinda sucked and way too many fbombs) Roman Holiday (oh, how i love that film, and YES i highly reccommend the stanford theatre in downtown palo alto!) Okay, so I think my leg is finally recovering from last thursday's hip hop class where i totally injured myself doing lunge moves. Last night I decided i'm going to buy a car and break down and just take out a loan. I think it will be worth it after all is said and done. and i wont be using it very much, but it will come in handy for when i do need it! Let me know if you know any good sites for buying cars besides autotrader and craigslist and cars.com........

So Iron Man was everything it was said to be. It was awesome and not overdone. I love Robert Downey and of course jeff bridges.. but i really liked his villain persona. not too over the top. RDJ must have done some rad workout for that part and he looks great. sexy as evs. I also went to hip hop class and i'm determined that i'm the best undertrained hip hop dancer, ever. and that even though i don't have all the steps yet, i'm sure when i do that I will get freaky. Love rolling my hips. How about them stanford warders? I think it's time to get the party circuit rollin with some real dance parties up in here. WHY DON'T THEY DO THIS ALREADY!? i don't get it. i really don't believe that people don't like to dance, it's just that they don't like to dance in front of each other. we gotta get things SHAKIN. I am almost done reading the witches and I'm still hot on Emma and my P&P and Jane Austen stint. I love classic english social commentaries. I realized today something really stupid about me. I need to stop being so vehement about subjects that i feel strongly about. I need to feel strongly, and speak succinctly. it's really annoying when i find myself w/o words to express how i feel and then when people don't understand i get really frustrated. or if they don't agree. yeah. I am retarded. But starting today (even though I have known i was like this for a long time), I'm going to be a little more controlled in my conversation. I looked through my old posts and realized i should repost this as a tribute to byu graphic design. Some designers from the class that just graduated worked on this amazing motion piece for the typophile film festival.
So this morning, i was riding the train and i made some goals. i thought maybe it would make them more real if i put them on here and made them available for the world to see and check me on.
1. lose 10 lbs. 2. read the scriptures/church stuff for 30 mins a day 3. serve others more >> look for ways to serve 4. take a hip hop class (well, i just found one... guess it wasn't actually a goal) 5. write in my journal 6. be kinder to everyone (esp. the fam)
this is so rad. i can't tell if it's a guy or a girl. i feel really inadequate at work sometimes. and like i spend too much time doing stupid things like chatting or putting stuff up on this blog.
no big news. just chillin. tired from reading pride and predjudice til almost 1 o'clock. love mr. darcy and his letters. why can't there be more of those mr. darcies in this wide world?
Lately I've been really emo. You know how in movies they have that non-diagetic music that just comes in and makes sense with the mood of the scene? Well, lately I'm just imagining a song for every part of my life. i EVEN catch myself singing them out loud and then i freak and realize that i'm crazy and wonder where my mind just drew that song from, back in the files..... Some songs on the playlist of my brain lately:
Don't worry baby ... The Beach Boys Across the Rio Grande ... Old folk song sung by my grandma California ... Joni Mitchell Sleepy California ... Herspace Holiday I want you to want me ... chick-rock version on the "10 things i hate about you" soundtrack Love me ... The Cardigans Stay up Late ... The Talking Heads
There is this blog I love and i've been looking at it every day. I will probably copy some of their stuff on here, but it's so good! banana
This is this cool thing that the International Fund for Animal Welfare (IFAW) is doing. COOL idea for an ad campaign.
I hate this. Why. WHY does facebook put these ads on the side of my profile and make me feel fat and gross. I dont even have that much fat but it makes me feel fat.
THIS is why I don't buy american. Even though I don't have a car and I don't buy anything anyway.
THIS is why I even saw this article or even started to read the news: ATTENTION ALL YOU WHO WANT TO READ THE NEWS BUT DON'T AND GUILT YOURSELVES ABOUT IT! THIS IS THE SOLUTION! spectra
This chair is totally cool, right? It even has storage underneath! can buy it here.
This is an appropriate mural in a smoker's lounge!
Please don't forget Becca Thomas, my roommate and bff whose band is now making it's way into the blogworld of the intranet. Someday when she's famous, I'll say "I know her. She's one of my best friends. Cool, huh?"
