A few songs from my current study playlist :)

Tragic

Very sad news. Jonathan, the teddy bear you see above, is currently bouncing like mad marble in the washing machine.

Slightly Nostalgic

Reading old conversations with you make me realize how much has changed. I miss you, or at least the person I knew.

Just get on with it!

Lectures are making me want to rip my brains out, freeze time and sleep the next one year of my life away.

I should be studying more.
I should try harder to keep to my resolutions.
I should stop wasting time.
I should stop taking naps in the evening.
I should make an effort to stay up beyond 12am
I should stop being lazy.
I should stop pointing out that i'm lazy and actually DO SOMETHING about it.

There are many things I should be doing. And I will soon. REALLY REALLY SOON.

Instead, I want something to munch on now. I should really not eat that much even with the amount of exercise I do. Which is about; zilch?It'ss not thatI'mm hungry but rather eating to stay awake.

So I eat.

Get fat or be stupid. Take a pick.

I believe that the very act of believing in something causes us to distance ourselves from that thing, thus a duality is created: oneself and the thing in which one believes. Now since we all know that in order to fully understand a thing one must be that thing - walk a mile in its shoes so to speak - it seems obvious that the state of believing in something inevitably causes us to not truly understand that thing in which we believe. This noncomprehension leads to all sorts of difficulties. "I believe in love" has a better than even chance of leading to divorce, while "I believe in God" seems to end in variations on the Spanish Inquisition. But -- and it's a big but -- if one were love, one couldn't help but be affectionate and caring towards oneself and others. If one were God, one would act toward all beings and all things as if they were one's own creations.

— Chuck Lorre

What doesn't kill us makes us bitter. I used to believe that to be both funny and true. Years later I learned that pain could also be the touchstone for personal growth, which of course points back to the original saying, "what doesn't kill us makes us better." Not funny, but perhaps closer to the truth. Or at least the truth I choose to believe in these days. So, having recently experienced a bit of pain, am I better?

Well, let's review: I think I'm fairly immune to name-calling now. I'm not sure I could have made that claim a few months ago. I've also come to see that the things I used to think were big deals, are not. Problems appear to be relative. If you have a big one, it makes all the others seem almost charming in comparison. And finally, when your life takes a path you could never have foreseen, it's humbling. In a good way. It's kind of like a friendly reminder from the universe that while you may think you have the starring role in the movie of your life, you're actually just a bit player trying to grab a quesadilla off the craft services table when no one's looking.

So, to sum up: I now have a thicker skin, I'm less likely to sweat the small stuff, and, perhaps most importantly, I have a renewed sense of humility. All in all, better. That being said, I still try to stay reasonably bitter in order to maintain my eligibility in the Writers Guild of America.

I Will Run

Dear world wide web, I tell you this because I want to be held accountable for the words that fall out of my mouth. 

I’m going to start some form of exercise regime which i haven't given much thought about. But i will, soon :)

A Fact About Time

is that it doesn't wait for anyone. Or slows down in a crisis. It's all in the head. And how you manage it.

Where has June gone?

Oh wait, i know. Countless nights was spent with my books, hunting down my eraser, keeping up with classes, and recalling when's the last meal i ate. So there you go, June in a nutshell.
