02:25 pm - Unparalleled Beauty
I've been to the top of Half Dome and gazed down at the glory of Yosemite.
I've visited the peaceful Floridian wonders.
I've walked through the majestic trees, ponds, and meadows of British Columbia.
I've boated on beautiful Lake Shasta and been to its namesake, the towering Mount Shasta.
I've relaxed at numerous beaches, bays, lakes, ponds, and ocean fronts in Canada, Mexico and the U.S.
I currently reside in Santa Cruz, attending UCSC, allegedly one of the most beautiful campuses in America.
I've vacationed on two islands of Hawaii, and even flown over Hawaii in a helicopter sightseeing expedition.
I've experienced some of the most greatly acclaimed beauties of this entire continent.
Despite this overwhelming exposure to "beauty," I saw TRUE beauty today for the first time.
I saw true beauty in my frozen mocha today. It seems preposterous, but I assure you it's true. Allow me to attempt to convey this beauty. The dense amorphous syrup slowly sinking collectively at varying velocities to the bottom where it gradually gathered in chocolate community. The light whip cream, mostly floating at the top, but also inter-mingling with the drink. The perfect temperature suspending certain particles and letting others fall down through the icy pseudo-liquid. All these things came together to form the most beautiful monochromatic gradient I had ever seen. The paradoxical subject and color of the beauty only added to the aesthetic pleasure. The occasional movements of the straw supplied the perfect degree of imperfection to the wondrous patterns and structures of the artwork. I wanted to take a picture knowing my words would never do it justice. But photographs are fading and would never be able to convey this marvelous beauty either. I knew I had to somehow capture and apply this awesome work of art to my life, and so I did what any individual enlightened by his frozen mocha would do. I drank it.

03:10 pm - "Oh crap, he's back"
That's right, non-existent people that read my lj. I'm back for more. I apologize to my three-quarters of a loyal fan for such a long absense... also for not being as cool as you. Anyways...
Here's why I haven't updated lately:
1. Last quarter, I took 25 credits out of some delusionally naive glorification of schooling. I actually ended up withdrawing from 10 of the credits, but I don't know to be proud or upset about that. Go Figure.
2. I've never been very good at keeping up with things like this. I have many a week-to-month long projects that now lie unfinished and piled up chronologically in the corner of the garage behind the box of ratty old clothes that all of us semi-self-righteously were planning on giving to the salvation army.
3. I'm lazy.
Here's why none of you care:
1. Um... you just don't. I don't know why. You should. It would make me feel like an extra special guy [said a little coyly with a somewhat disturbing fluttering of the eyes].
See you soon.
Happy to be alive but not necessarily doing anything about it,

I finally figured out how to do that Current Mood/Music thing without going through the horrible trouble of actually typing it all out. I thought you all should know. I am indeed satisfied and looking forward to future posts. I started all four of these sentences with the word "I" showing that I should now go to bed.

satisfied05:31 am - I'm hungry
Earlier tonight/this morning, I opened our freezer to find 5 cartons of ice cream, 3 of which were vanilla -- french to be exact. If we have 3 cartons of the same flavor at the same time, they'd better be from different continents. On the plus side, one of them was of a different brand, and still one of the others had a christmas themed carton.
It's getting late. I've had enough game theory research for the night. I'm going to bed, maybe even sleep. G'night.

06:06 am - Home, in a manner of speaking.
Coming and staying home is one of the most surrealistic events I can recall without trying to remember others that could probably easily surpass this one. In a way, it's like coming back to work the day after you may or may not have humiliated yourself in front of everybody at the office party last night (you're not sure whether or not you did because it suffices to say that you had a sip or two).
My grades are in... A+, B+, F =) The F was in "core" class which can hardly be considered a university level class. In fact, I'd say it's more at the level of a junior higher waxing intellectual. Mostly hollow liberalism followed by disturbing conservativism. I'd rather learn about intelligent politics and writing, but I guess that comes later... when I transfer. I still can't figure out why I stupidly listened to my Academic Advisor's academic advice. It's just not logical. Oh well. Lesson learned.
The A+ was interestingly enough in a class where I tried for a perfect zero on the final. I'm still waiting on those results, but he appears to have at least been amuzed because I only actually earned an "A" at the most. I can only assume that he threw the + on either out of amuzement or boredom (even though the latter makes little to no sense).
Okay, well there's probably some reason for me to go to sleep before I have to start another grueling day =) so I'm gonna split. Maybe I'll write later on something a little deeper than grades... like unrequited love. Try to figure out what that semi-sarcasmism means. Meanwhile, I'll sleep a couple hours.

04:43 am - I have a final tomorrow?!?
Okay, so I guess technically my final is today... in 7 and 1/4 hours. Yea, late night/early morning! Boo, sleep.

01:45 am - This just in...
About seventeen seconds ago, I realized how cool I am... and I just thought you all should know.
Isn't it great when people talk out of total disregard for the fact that they have absolutely nothing to say?
Okay, well I obviously have nothing to say and I also have what I'm told is a big test in ten hours... I think they call it a "finale" or something. Um, yeah, bye.

11:29 pm - Lack of Creativity
My titles rule the underworld... and your pet iguana, named . This is the earliest part of the day I have posted. That's weird. Or maybe it's just me... you know, that's weird. Oh well. My internet was fiendishly stolen from me by the man after I uploaded approximately 2 gig's. I'm getting back at them by ironically updating my lj. How pugnacious of me. Indeed. Indubitably... or something.

11:31 pm - A Tasty Meal
If you ever get hungry, you should know that a really good meal is Cheez-it® cheese crackers and Skippy® peanut butter at a 2:1 ratio by volume.

02:28 am - Be gentle. It's my first time.
Okay, so I just set this up a few hours ago, and after some long-winded tangents, I thought that it would be a good idea to do something productive before going to bed (and I'm sure as hell not going to do any homework). Anyways, lj, consider yourself christened [breaks bottle of fine merlot over computer monitor]. Hopefully, I'll get addicted to this stuff, and I'll eventually have the best journal on this side of Uzbekistan. <-- Sorry if I misspelled it, but I'm lazy and it's still a funny sounding name. Say it aloud with me, class... err... I should get some rest. Maybe then, I'll get something done before class. And by "maybe" I mean definitely not. Good night, moon. Good night, cow jumping over the moon.
