Super Bowl

I didn't enjoy the super bowl this year... at all. I loved seeing friends, being with them, talking, and hanging out. But, I couldn't get into the game.


It's probably because the Steelers weren't in it.


Oh well. better luck next time.

Happy Christmas, Happy Communication

I have over 500 contacts in my phone. I speak to, maybe, 10-15 of these a week. Half of these are family members, one I live with, the rest are the chosen few that I don't avoid. I have more "interactios" on Facebook and instant messenger than I do over the phone, and definately in person...

WTF?

What exaclty are we doing? I realize that the world is a scary place, and that it is so easy to simply avoid everything that is going on in our lives. But, lately, I have found myself somewhat disgusted with myself in regards to my electronic communication outweighing my verbal communication. I feel that avoidance, my own in particular, is beginning to tire me out.
Does anyone hear me? Agree?

I know that each one of us has our own experiences that have caused us to withdraw from society. But, how can we, as a culture, get back to circles around firepits, evenings in the park, random spur-of-the-moment desicions to hang out, etc. etc.? I know plenty of people who are already somewhat communal in interaction, but I feel that our society as a whole is pretty wrapped up in the idea of communication (insert social network name here______), but not actually the act of communicating (Myself included).

I know several people who have aattempted to leave the internet scene alltogether. While that may be necessary for some people (wondering that for myself...) I wonder what integration would be like? Is it possible? Or will I have to tweet about my new blog after typing, ignore you when you call me, and then text you back instead? Hi! Sorry. Busy right now. What's up?

Avoidance leads to Isolation.
Isolation is the death of relationship.
Thus, death to the soul.

Bus 41

On my way to Northgate. I once traveled this bus weekly after work. Now, only on occasion.

Mount Rainier was amazing on the way up. I love The Mountain in the winter. I still can't believe its winter...

11.27.09

I can't believe it is almost December (my favorite month). It feels like only a few weeks ago Autumn and I were in Florida visiting with her family over Christmas break... and yet, it is that time again.

This year we will be in SC for Christmas. I have mixed feelings about it, honestly. i miss my family, but find myself being sucked into the old familiar places. Slightly difficult to explain over the medium of 'blog', but I'm sure you can imagine. Sometimes I wish I could join a group, 'Learning How To Be My Own Person'. Oh wait, I did. It's called MHGS.

Genius and random tidbits because I can't concentrate enough to actually write a real blog...

I love the genius feature in iTunes. Though, I feel that any band that I 'genius' always brings me the same playlist. Oh well...

I am currently writing my last paper of Season II at MHGS.
Season III is almost upon us.
This is very exciting to me.
Do you know what else is exciting? My family is coming out to visit this weekend.

I love family.
And, I hope for a family.
Present repair, and
future preparation.

i don't blog anymore...

well... not really. But, it would appear that way.

MyLife... I hate that website.

I received an email from a friend inviting me to his MyLife.
Clicked on his page, and then made my own profile thinking this was pretty harmless...
Next thing I know I get emails and texts and postings on my blog about the stupid thing.
I fixed it though.

I forgot all about it until I looked at my blog for the first time in months, and there they were.

completely off topic...

Whatever man... 

I can't believe they canceled Life on Mars. AND, to top it off, the ending was horrible. Absolutely horrible, I tell you. 

I have just finished a paper that is due in a week and a half.

This may sound as though I am 'ahead', but, do not be deceived. This is one of 5 things that I have due in the next 2 weeks.

The Open Door...

This should be good, thE cliPs on iTunes sound lovely. 

:)

pull yourself together, man...

Sorry, sometimes, I just can't.

I really hope they don't cancel Life on Mars. 

If they do... 

it would be tragic.
