happiness in a jar

I think everyone can agree with this. We all need to see, hear, ect. something that would make us smile like a child. Especially with this year, my friends and I want to beat each other and what not, but all we need is a little something that will make are lips curl upwards into a delightful smile.
Gentle Giant - Clazziquai Project
This song is so sweet and mellow and that gentle giant is like happiness in a jar. Songs like this are what people really need. When one is having a really bad day, just listen to a simple song that makes your heart smile. That's what I do. Everyday I listen to a song that just makes me smile, no matter how upset I am because, frankly, I refuse to let sadness dictate the rest of my high school career. I am going to have fun because I deserve it. Happy music reminds me that my goal this year is to actually enjoy my life and enjoy the presence of others because I have the right to.

I was discussing with the lovely empressck and we were discussing all of the little things we wanted to get done before our graduation. We wanted to do those little things with our friends that will make all the difference in the world. For example, we want to make a three-course meal together, we want to go trick-or-treating, ect. Such trivial things will make us so much closer and this is all we need. This song reminds me to be happy and to be happy with my friends. Let's have fun. That's all I ask for.

anatomy of a robot

I feel like the "great" Christopher Columbus. Minus the fact that my discovery was actually what I was searching for opposed to good old Chris who just sailed to a random ass continent. Today I discovered this underground korean band called Dear Cloud. I was somewhat skeptical, however, their music really makes me feel like I'm floating above the clouds. The smooth, peaceful melodies really put my mind and body to rest.
얼음요새 - 디어 클라우드
"the ice fortress of which i walk upon
thankfully made me forget
grasping the path of whom i become
being held by your warmth
this is the winter path i chose

i was in the center of winter
letting courage take my place
your beauty is cruel
you left my eternal love for you
coldly pushing me away
...
the words i can't speak
when my heart is sad"
i think everyone can relate to those words whether they like it or not. that congested feeling that you can't escape because of the burden of your emotions. why can't we all be robots? i like robots. they're fun to draw. really, if we were all robots we would not have to suffer through regular human hardships. no love, no war, just complex simplicity if that makes any sense. the makings of a robot are complex, but the intent of a robot is simple. of course there are also negative results from everyone being a robot. robots need love too. naturally this thought of mine is completely irrational and i'm digressing from the real point of this blog.

Dear Cloud, i appreciate your music. and i also appreciate that your music inspires me to think about robots.

them young kids

Well I am a little bit late on this, but this past friday was the best day of my life. Here are the reasons.

1) Friday was senior BBQ and because I'm a senior (woot woot) I of course attended and had a blast. There was not so great, free food, free drinks and free popcorn. But the best part were taking pictures and the inflatable playgrounds, or rides, or whatever they are. Some friends decided to not join me in my need to play on the jumpy thingys, but none of us objected to taking pictures.








Now there isn't really much to say about senior BBQ, except that it was fun. Also, everyone was in a pelvic thrusting frenzy.

2)Peter, Tyler, Brandon and Maggie came over after the BBQ. I had to play nurse and fix Tyler who was bleeding while Peter takes off his shirt because it was too hot. Now I am not one to complain about guys taking off their shirts, but it is just weird when your white friend takes his shirt off in an ASIAN household. Tyler realizing that Peter's inappropriateness made me squirm decided to take his shirt off as well. I was uncomfortable because they were my friends and because their bodies were so hot, that I had to stare. Then the boys left to do some sportsy stuff and Maggie and I decided to watch the Lion King. I love that movie, but I fell asleep throughout the whole entire thing.

3) My friends and I decided to attend the first home football game of the year. Of course we lost, but that is not the point. My awesome Mexidorean friend, Karina, and I were thirsty and left to go purchase a soda. While we were waiting in line, this little White kid started talking to us. His first question to Karina was "How old are you?" Whoa this kid moves fast doesn't he? Karina answered to play along with his games. He kept asking us questions like what grade we were in, what are classes were and telling us how Butler Elementary food was nasty compared to Smedberg food. During this time we found out his name was Patrick and he was in seventh grade. Basically a seventh grader was hitting on us and was extremely straightforward. It was super cute and in the end he said that it was cool Sheldon girls were talking to him.

love/hate

My computer and I have a love/hate relationship. Well if anything, we have a one-sided love/hate relationship.

Two weeks ago the blue screen of death came to visit me and a very tech savvy geek took my computer away to fix it. Of course only my computer would do that to me because it hates me. I hated my computer (aka daniel or nigel. I never really settled on a name) for two weeks straight. I got daniel/nigel back yesterday and I had really high hopes that I would be a indestructible pc user in 24 hours. I had such love for daniel/nigel, but obviously I was not loved back. Apparently, daniel/nigel hates me and is being all ridiculous. The monitor settings aren't being the way I want them to be, I can't download any programs, and I HAVE NO ITUNES! I think I need to purchase a pocket asian who can jazz up my computer in an instant.

By the way, for your information I am watching the republican convention and I saw two black people. I thought the blogspot nation should know.
