Good evening, Alrighty, So I'm promising that todays entry wil not be as long or as tangentful as yesterday's. I really don't know what got into me - I apologize for getting slightly carried away, seriously, I didn't mean to. So what are you up to? Personally, I didn't think that I'd be able to make it on here due to the fact that things are just the way the are, but I think I may have found away around my bloody computer and such. It's simple, but it works well enough to get me what I want and then I'm off Sounds like a plan, right? Awesome! I love it when we agree on these kinds of things. So today in the class of mathematics we had to do this thing and the group I was in... well.. we lagged, big time. I mean, we'll pass and everytihng - I just think that we'll only get somewhere in and about the 75ish. We'll be lucky to get an 82- yea, that's how bad it was. I swear if I could, I would have just done it all by myself and just handed in whatever I had. Ever heard the saying "too many cooks spoil the pot,"? Come on now, you've heard sometihng like that before. Or at least "One head is better than four," as opposed to "four heads are better than one." I assure you that sometimes it's not always the more the merrier. Have you ever... have you ever wondered about the future, like what's going to happen in the long run? Not the worrying that's associated with whatever you're trying to plan or make happen within the next couple of weeks, months or even a year - but I mean really long term. Has it ever happened where you start thinking about yourself in relation to that, and then you start to wonder about some of your friends, where they'll end up - what's going to happen to them, all of them? I guess with some people it's easier to tell then with others. Like some of my friends. I can see that one'll probably be a housewife, her maybe a teacher, he'll end up working for the city... stuff like that. Or maybe you're thinking he'll stay single for the rest of his life, she'll have about five kids, they'll get married and so on and so forth. It's slightly presumptuous to be thinking things like that - I know it is, but in a sense it can provide a sense of comfort, as well as a sense of expectations. Both can be good or bad. But what's more then that is the fact that I find myself somewhat... distant with thoughts of the future, both immediate and distant. It has yet to effect my work and/or my focus but I suspect that it will eventually, as with many things, start to take over my mind and result in some not so good situations. I got another Fortune in my Jones. It almost seems like I'll be getting one of these per friday, which is nice because I really don't want to buy chinese food just for the fortune cookie. But here's what my cap fortune says "To reach distant places, one has to take the first step." So true, I suppose the first step in a set of movement would be to stop thinking so much about certain things and just go with the flow of things eh? Always been one of my downfalls - thinking things through, not trust my own instincts- trying to rationalize every detail so that thigns go on w/o a hitch. And what has it gotten me this far? Not much really. My highest level of accomplishments, my proudest achievement would probably have to be me keeping all of you as friends. And by "all of you" I mean both the friends that are reading this, and the ones who are not. The friends from around the corner, the friends from afar - all of you mean something to me and all of you hold a special place in my life... in my heart. No matter what anyone tells you, know this one thing - you are irreplaceable to at least one person. That person is me. Now, I'm not the sappiest guy in the world, lord knows that I culd be a little nicer, a little more personal with a lot more people - even I know that I'd like to get to know certain people better, close in gaps and maybe even make a few connections on a different level but I guess the lack of that ties into the whole thinking too much thing. No one to blame but thyself eh? I wish there was more I could do, but maybe I shouldn't be talking about this for I know not what the future holds. *knocks on wood.* Alright, I'm out.
