five hours of sleep per night has taken its toll. eye baggage is yuck. when did this start happening? i suppose knockin' on thirty has something to do with it... wonderful.
upload, that is.
i'm not going to front. it's enjoyable in the sense that none of the words need extra brain time to comprehend. love stories are great... love triangles, even greater, with their tugging and pulling, team edward versus team jacob, really tan and muscular guy versus pale and toned rock of a person. it's no harry potter, for sure, but it's good reading, and in my case for the past week, listening. today i finished the audio for eclipse and i must say, there were plenty of times when i found myself rolling my eyes or tsk-tsk-ing due to my annoyance at bella... then i remembered that she's supposed to be in high school, and then everything made sense. what girl wouldn't love two guys fighting over her? it would be great to have A guy, period. but two guys? despite this girl's consistent stupidity, guys still want to get in her pants. guys will be guys and girls will be... secretly rejoicing at the thought of being the object of their desires. women in swarms read these books because its awesome cheesiness. and with everything going on in the world today, we can afford some cheesiness in our lives.
go ahead and vomit. i started the audio for breaking dawn and it is definitely a much better accompaniment to my nine to five.
the body is weary
the eyes are tired
curled into a ball under the covers
waiting.
sleep eludes me.
shut.
up.
brain.
make some changes.
i've been wanting to change my methods. chris and i have talked about getting to work on something right away, like with school work, instead of constantly chasing minutes in a day/night. yeah, i know, that was just a long sentence that pretty much can be narrowed down to one word -- procrastination. may i interject that it's not quite that in this case. the past few months have really made me look at what my daily goings-on are and i noticed that my day is blocked off as such: 8:30 am - 6 pm: work, 6:15 pm - 6:50 pm: commute, 7:00 pm - 7:15: dinner, 7:30 to xx:xx: either Photoshop-ing or Illustrator-ing. and throughout the week, when i give myself a break from media arts, there is always CI stuff that need attention.
it doesn't bother me that i live a scheduled life, but what disturbs me are phone calls i've had to ignore, voicemails left unresponded, invitations to go out declined and more trivially, missing tv shows i actually like watching. change is definitely needed.
today's op-ed piece on nytimes.com from thomas friedman had a quote that stuck with me:
"People do not change when we tell them they should; they change when their context tells them they must."
it was about the war in afghanistan, but i thought the quote fit well with my current situation. i'm thankful for the energy and drive to keep myself busy and strive for new goals, but i also am grateful for the realization of the need to improve my "get it done" (not today, but tomorrow) mentality.
sometimes it's better not to know.... or to just play stupid.
This morning's commute was interesting. The woman who sat next to me seemed flustered. I didn't really look up to look at her face but her body language and breathing suggested she was frustrated about something...
And then she got on her phone.
"HELLO????? YES! I've been on hold! My account was closed and I just wanted to know why."
She wasn't mad but her voice was so loud that it made everyone in the car look up to see where the sound was coming from.
And then she started giving out her account information.
Woah. Totally audible and if I was shady, I'd have keyed those numbers in my iPhone notepad for future purchases. Cuhrazy. Everything from the card's number to her address and social security number.
And people wonder how identity theft happens.
Yikes.
i know, i gush about it too much... but for someone who works for something like there's no tomorrow, every bit of success is sweet.
T's design is featured on counterkicks.com. give it a look-see!
what will be left of you? what will be your legacy? i thought about those questions tonight and it made me think of the many ways we disrespect each other, the earth and life in general, so easily, so deliberately... all done without a second thought or at times, even remorse, as if we get to have unlimited second chances to get it right.
What? It's funny! Better than slutty costumes for sure!
i think. for guys out there who just can't seem to win with the ladies... this is all you need.
