Ok that was a pretty lame attempt at making up a “cool, hip” word, but you can’t blame me for being braaain deeead...okay maybe you can, but that’s besides the fact. Anyways, this cool cat pretty much sums up what I want to be doing right now instead of staring at the computer screen engulfed in coding and CAD stuff. ::sigh::

Both separate tasks are for improving their respective projects, so I have to look at it that way. Just like Posterous's "motto":

"Getting better everyday" :)

• #981 Wearing underwear just out of the dryer
• #934 Adrenaline
• #919 Hitting a bunch of green lights in a row
• #918 When you’re really tired and about to fall asleep and someone throws a blanket on you
• #886 High fiving babies

You know what the trouble about real life is? There's no danger music.

The Beach

The only downer is everyones got the same idea, we all travel thousands of miles just to watch tv and check into somewhere with all the comforts of home , and you gotta ask yourself , whats the point of that?

When you develope an infatuation for someone, you always find a reason to believe that this is exactly the person for you. It doesn't need to be a good reason. Taking photographs of the night sky for example. Now in the long run, that's just the kind of dumb, irritating habit that would cause you to split up. But in the haze of infatuation, its just what you've been searching for all these years.

And as for traveling alone... fuckit. If that's the way it has to be, then that's the way it is.

Ocean's Thirteen

The moment you become embarassed of who you are, you lose yourself. I changed my house, the way I dressed, what I ate. For what? For nothing.
