"Hold your tongue, sir, or loose it"

So this weekend has been a bit of a lazy weekend. I did some rather productive work on the grad school front, editing my personal statement and seriously rearranging certain elements that were sub-par to say the least. It is better than it was, as it should be, but still is rather a wretched piece of work and will take much more revising, especially since I need three different versions. I think once I have the framework down then altering it in respects to the specific program will not be quite as difficult.

Since my last blog, members of my non-reading public have advised against me writing anything too serious in this publication. It has been suggested that I "not write anything that I would not wish to see published on the front page of the Wall Street Journal or New York Times." This I think is very good advice and since I have been known to make wild and obscene remarks about everything. I will try my very hardest to refrain from making any remarks, here forth, that will or would be objectionable to my person six or sixty years in the future. ;0) Although I would like to point out that I am not sure where the idea that I would ever say anything outrageous enough, important enough, to offend anyone or that I would be noteworthy enough to ever have anyone take note of me, came from but, I thank the suggesting party for their concern and conclude that I am pleased that they love me enough to be concerned for the me of the distant future. lol Now is anyone confused? I thought you might be ;0) The condensed version is that I should hold my tongue and not say anything of great consequence in the unlikely event that I am a media darling in the future and the press gets a hold of what I have written in this blog.

With that in mind I will say that I have watched this weeks political debates and am no closer to a decision, in fact I might be further from one. Moving right along, to the right of this screen you will see I have made a poll for you to vote which grad school you think that I should attend, in the event that I get into any of them. :) I am still waiting on comments from my previous question, see blog below, so I am not going to put up another one until at least one of you all decides to waste the time and reply lol. For now that is about all. If anyone knows of a good movie for me to rent, make suggestions. Since I have no cable I rent movies from Netflix and am always looking for new movies. I will put up a list of movies that I would suggest you check out in one of the tool bars to the right. Hope everyone had a great weekend, and I know its just sad that it is over.

P.S. E the Picture above is for you. lol I thought you would enjoy it.

Adams Country Avenue

Erin and I went to the Adam's Avenue Street Fair today, and of course I forgot the sunblock, nothing too surprising about that really but you think that I would have learnt by now. It was quite the interesting event to be truthful. I am no sure when I have seen so many, lets go with inventive, hairstyles and clothing selections. At one point I felt like I was stuck in the fifties with greasers all over the place with their slick hair and cuffed jeans and all stars. At other times I felt like we were a monster truck rally and then at a metal concert with the spike mohawks and silver appendages coming out of the surround audiences faces. I guess it just goes to show that San Diego has a very diverse populous.

E just started working at a local based coffee shop, which means that she is working quite a bit and her going to work reminds me that I really should be looking for a job and trying to pull in some cash while I am down here. I just don't know where I would want to work because anywhere that I might actually wanna get a job would be a full time gig and I, at least for now, still have an obligation to go the Museum three times a week. I guess that I could take Erin up on her advice and just apply at the same place that she is working at.

Here is a random question for all you to contemplate in any spare time that you might have:

What do you think killed chivalry? I have a quite extensive theory on that subject that I will write about some time after I hear some of your opinions. Right now I have some pressing engagements to attend to which is why I am going to hold off on that, in addition to not wanting to influence the opinions of those who might decided to comment. That is all for now hope that you all are no falling asleep reading this, if you are I am sorry and will attempt to be more entertaining in future postings.

oh goodness the randomness

Ok so this is really sad lol but you have to check out this video that i found on a website that I used to go to for entertainment all the time when I was a Freshmen in college.

And yeah i know I should be doing other things, but hey whatev.

Life, the Universe, and Everything

So i am avoiding reading through mounds of grad school crap and writing my personal statement, which i should just do and get it over with already but apparently I like to drag out the agony of having to write it to the longest possible extent.....masochist i suppose. Anyhoo, does anyone know how to get sharpy off of skin....'cuz I made a mess of my hands at the museum today labeling boxes that are going into the freezer tomorrow and the crap just wont seem to come off. Not like I am going anywhere tonight so it doesn't really matter but I was going to go and line up my references for grad school tomorrow, even though I am not entirely sure which 5 I am going to apply to, I have three "for sures" and about 10 "maybes" but that is what I was going to sort out tonight, and make a calendar, and study for the GRE's, and, wow is it 5:30 already, cocktail hour please hold.........................................ah better to continue. I have a lot of stuff that I need to do I just don't really have the motivation. I know that I should but, I just feel like sleeping and waking up and having all this crap already finished and have a mini pile of grad school acceptance letters waiting for me in my mail box. Instead I have get AT&T bills and crap. Although I did get a really nice post card from Kristin, my sister if you didn't know that already, and her husband Aaron. It's about an ice cream shop, as if I needed the temptation. ;0)

I think that I am going to try to convince Erin that she wants to go hiking this weekend up in Poway, I have gas for it and other than that it doesn't cost anything. Hmmm.... that would give me Saturday or Sunday off from running since I totally skipped out this morning and slept in instead, I know bad kid right?

On a random note, since that is sort of what this blog is about, do you ever wonder what the meaning of life really is? Not the Monty Python crazy movie which is essentially some of the skits from their Flying Circus series put together, but the real meaning to life and everything that goes along with it?

I personally think that life really isn't about what everyone thinks it is. i don't believe that its just about living and dying or any of that crap. I think it's about chances and taking them when they come. it's about finding out what it takes and doing it regardless. It's about finding within yourself the strength that you always knew was there but people and circumstances made you forget; Or perhaps that is what I want my version of life to look like, because in truth I am the person whose life and circumstances and experiences have stolen all the components inside my being that would make me strong, bold and willing to take chances. All I am left with now is the desire to be all those things once again, and I am trying, desperately, but when battling oneself the wins are less often won quickly and more often take far longer and have many more failures than they should.
