unhindered and (seemingly) illogical

so, i have done absolutely nothing today. i am not sure if i am proud of it, or ashamed that i am so dang lazy. i just haven't gotten around to doing anything... i am still in my pj's! but, i did finish reading a book, and that was nice. but other than that...? definitely not being a productive member of society today. i am so lazy i don't even care to wonder too much about feeling guilty for being so lazy! oh well.. i will just enjoy this nice quiet day at home with my family...

the preceding post has something to do with the war movie i just watched, i think, but i am not sure in what regard. take it as you will.

driving rain and endless wind
turn away
mud to my knees and sand in my teeth
turn away
blood in my hair and dirt on my face
turn away
up the hill and down the mountain
turn away
blood in my mouth and pain in my chest
turn away
life drones overhead and death whizzes past my ear
turn away

Emerson seems to be on to something, at least in my mind... perhaps we should sit up take notice, at least of the spirit of his message. i think that we get too caught up in "success". hmm...

To laugh often and love much; to win the respect of intelligent persons and the affection of children, to earn the approbation of honest critics; to appreciate beauty; to give of one's self, to leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch or a redeemed social condition; to have played and laughed with enthusiasm and sung with exultation; to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived--that is to have succeeded.

so, i really hate it when i make stupid mistakes, especially when they cost me money. word of advice: be very careful of anything you buy off ebay! i certainly learned that the hard way...

on a better note, i saw the most beautiful sunset tonight... makes me remember what ilove about this place. you just can't beat the sunsets!

if God is up, and hell is down, and life is forwards, where does that leave me to go?
'cause i can't go back.

so, i really dislike call waiting. it has to be one of the most annoying things around. pretty much all it serves to do, 90% of the time, is to completely disrupt your conversation. however, occasionally, very occasionally, it is quite useful. so, do you put up with the annoyance for the occcasional convienence, or just make people put up w/ a busy signal? oh well. just one of those little things about life, i guess.

life around here is slow today, which is kinda nice. nothing going on, just relaxing and trying to get some Christmas shopping done.

wal-mart is awesome!
what can't you get at wal-mart? i don' think there is anything you can't get. i got this sweet phone for only 10 bucks... and it even came with a headset! wal-mart is the all american super hero. now if they only had a 24 hr. super-center near my school... life would be all the better! lol... so there is my ode to wal-mart. made my day.

funny how much brighter my outlook on life is in the morning. sometimes a good sleep is all that is needed to put things back into perspective. today has been a glorious day of doing absolutely nothing. however, life will begin again tomorrow, i am sure of it. for now i am going to revel in this quiet afternoon...
