Futurama

//dusers.drexel.edu/~revelasians/jamie/08282002.jpg Thought for the day… It’s laughable sometimes how people delude themselves into believing they’re more than they are. I see it everyday. It’s like a darkness that clouds the facade people try to present. I see it and I want to spit. I’m afraid they might spit right back. I wonder if what I […]

Sometimes after your best efforts, you come so close to your goal. You get stuck, and you take a chance, and it seems like it’s all going to be okay. You think you’re on the right track, but you fail miserably. Some would give up at this point, but passion, motivation, and determination are keys […]

Since I haven’t felt like thinking about anything important recently, I’ve taken to playing video games more often. They provide an escape from the drugery and tension of normal life. Maybe that’s why I rarely play video games. I don’t get stressed and I love all the little details of life. Well, since I have […]

There’s only a week of school left. After about three weeks of vacation, I’ll start working. I can’t wait. I bet you’re all wondering what I’ve been doing the past few days and why I’ve been too busy to update. I would love to tell you all, but I don’t want to bore those who […]

I got two job interviews today. One at Sunguard and the other at Ace. I’m not too enthusiastic about either, but I’m not picky. I miss Xanga… Don’t worry more entries and nice nice pics to come….

I got some bad news today. I hope you’re alright dude, if you need to talk, I’m not too busy to help. In other news, although I wasn’t seriously considering trying to get with her, I know I can’t get with her now. Sad sad sad. More later …

creation is god

“The artist, like the God of creation, remains within or behind or beyond or above his handiwork, invisible, refined out of existence, indifferent, paring his fingernails.” James Joyce Look at the picture … Can you see the difference between the hands? Which hand commands? Which is subservient? Which is docile? Which is powerful? Which is […]

On Happiness

Thanks Adscion for the comment! Everyone go visit her page and enjoy her humor and intelligence! Ok … enough kissing arse–let’s get to the meat. I’m tired. I’m depressed. I’m loving it.

A Prayer for the Friend

“Friendship is a serious affection; the most sublime of all affections, because it is founded on principle, and cemented by time. The very reverse may be said of love. In a great degree, love and friendship cannot subsist in the same bosom; even when inspired by different objects they weaken or destroy each other, and […]

“The best friend will probably get the best spouse, because a good marriage is based on the talent for friendship.” Friedrich Nietzsche I asked Annie today whether she’d marry me. It was a spur-of-the-moment kind of thing, but I didn’t hesitate one bit. As I typed the words to my proposal, my fingers started to […]

*start theme music* Spider-Man, Spider-Man, does whatever a spider can… *end theme music* When I was a kid, I dreamed of being a super-hero. I always thought it’d be totally cool to have super powers like super strength, flying, or *drum roll* X-ray vision . By now, such idle and childish dreams have left me, […]

“Every man feels that perception gives him an invincible belief of the existence of that which he perceives; and that this belief is not the effect of reasoning, but the immediate consequence of perception. When philosophers have wearied themselves and their readers with their speculations upon this subject, they can neither strengthen this belief, nor […]
