This might sound a little weird, but...Can I go back to school now?
Macy's here and we hang out, but other than that I'm serving little to no purpose in life. Can I go do something with my life now? I'm tired of sitting around.

I need to get my ass moving day.

The new year provokes many thoughts about one's life and the direction in which it is moving. As we divide the time in our lives into these divisions called "years" to better keep track of our experiences and accomplishments, we note that we have come to the end of one of these divisions, these chronological categories with which we chronologically classify out achievements. And that leads us in to thinking, "Uhh what exactly did I DO this past year? Was it enough? Did I accomplish every one of the dreams and goals that I'd laid out for myself, or at least a sufficient number of them?"
Now if you're a thinker and a dreamer like me, chances are that the answer is "no." I still want to visit the remaining 28 states I have never set foot in. I want to finish getting my degree. I want to still go on an African safari. I want to do something for the world through which I can prove my worth to humanity, in whatever way this will be, or, in short, I want to fulfill my purpose in life.
Now compare what you've accomplished to what you want to accomplish. Was it enough? Did you come any closer to fulfilling this purpose? Are you still going to have sufficient time and resources to accomplish all of your dreams by the time you won't have the chance to anymore?
I can tell you my answer: ...no. And I think this is a commonality with most people. It seems that for a lot of people, the New Year is a time when people say, "Shit! I've gotta get my ass moving!" This, in my opinion, is where the idea of New Year's resolutions comes from- because people are thinking, "Hmm, I was going to accomplish something or improve some facet of my life but I never got around to it. So now, this year, I'm going to focus and get my ass moving."
They should just rename New Year's Day to "I need to get my ass moving" Day.
And while they're at it rename New Year's Eve as "stay up late and get drunk off your ass" Day...but that's off-topic.
So I've got a question for you all. Are you someone who thinks, "I should really get my ass moving" this holiday season? If so, what is it that you want to accomplish in 2009? Leave a comment below, or if you're feeling especially passionate, record a video response.
HAPPY INTGMAM Day everyone, and I will talk to you later! BAHH

Happy new year!
More in-depth entry tomorrow when it's not 4am and I can actually process all of the thoughts that a new year brings, like "shit, another year. Maybe I should actually start doing something with my life."

See you when I wake up.

Ohhhh bajeebers. What am I to do?

So I'm sitting here in my bed.
Like I have been for the past week or so.
What am I going to do in this town?
The suburbs are so restrictive. You have to drive to go anywhere. If I was back in Chambana I could walk down to Noodles, or walk to get a haircut (I need to do that), or walk down to Green Street and try one of the 7 Asian restaurants within the length of one block (it really exists).

Ohhhh bajeebers. Look at the time.

I haven't been really paying attention to the time. All I know is that I need it to pass. I'd much rather be away from this place.

Ohhhh bajeebers. I need to get out more.

But every day so far with the exception of today, I was unable to go out because it was either a holiday or snowing like mad. I think Mother Nature has been forgetting to take her meds lately. On the day after Christmas, it started to warm up. The day after that, it was 55 degrees with a big rainstorm that dumped about an inch of rain. Mind you, this is December we're talking about. Then, it turned 30 degrees colder.
A week ago, it snowed like mad, and it snowed before that, too. So that's three storm systems in a little over a week.


Today I walked the dogs and worked a bit on the Club 10 game.

Wtf is that?

My friends on the 10th floor in my dorm building (which is basically a tower: 10 floors, and only 6 rooms on each floor) decided to make a club called "Club 10," sort of jokingly. We got our other friends on the top half of the "tower" in on it too. So a bunch of us got together one night and stayed up until 3 AM laughing our asses of trying to come up with phrases and events in the game, like "Bill uses disguise. Dave asks Bill if he's seen Bill," and "Meagan uses preposterone. Meagan grows beard. Enemy is now confused." There were a ton of other ones based on inside jokes that you all wouldn't understand. But believe me, I hadn't laughed so much in such a long time. Probably since we saw the performance of the Second City comedy troupe in September (this was December).

Thoughts. People should have them.

Paul: NOOOO! Care about things! Don't stop caring about things!
Zexi: Lmao.

So for Christmas I got a new phone, a watch with a built-in flash drive (that's weird, right? In a good way.), and a bunch of clothes that I specifically mentioned I didn't want. It all had some branding of the University of Illinois on it. I'm extremely individualist and I don't like to identify myself as part of a group.

Why am I still awake?

I'M DONE BITCHES!!! F**K YEAH!!!
And now, some continua that people lie on.
Hard working, lazy
Searching for purpose, wasting time.
Self-indulgent, Self-restraining.
Thoughtful, focusing on instinct
Open, closed
Shy, outgoing

I shouldn't.
Ahhhh....but I should.
What's up guys. I just can't keep up with this regular youtube stuff. I've just now finished my homework for tomorrow, just in time for the new opportunity to say I had finished it for today. In other words, it's right around midnight. But this is what I get for putting it all off over Thanksgiving break, over which I did next to nothing. I am really glad I got to see a lot of my friends from high school then, though! Hoorayayayayayayayayazns.
I really enjoy people who have things going for them and actually have the drive to achieve in life, unlike the Hedonists in this world. There's more to life than self-pleasure. There is also serving a purpose.
I just don't understand how some people can be satisfied without contributing to the good of all society. And it may sound like I'm talking about stuff that a superhero would do. But I'm not.
People all contribute a small bit to the mix. You don't have to be a celebrity. But everyone does something! It's just a good thing to continually think about what it is you are contributing- how are you being productive.
My bed here is so much more comfortable than the one at home. The one at home has an older, harder, mattress.

This is Day 4 of being sick. Son of a bitch.
