i thought that i should take a minute to point something out.
humberto, upgraded to a hurricane, hit southeast texas this morning, and statements like 'humerto caught us off guard' are already being made.
now it's been down-graded to a tropical storm, but is currently heading into louisiana with no signs of slowing down.
is this reminiscent to anyone else?? i'm just saying...
...*maybe* mother-nature is trying to tell us something.
just a thought. now i'm off to work. later!

rain falls, spirits lift, and mac is snoring away...
it's raining. i *love* rain. it puts me in such a good mood. unfortunately, i'm still sick, so i can't fully enjoy the day, but nonetheless i'm feeling rather at peace.
so why do i love the rain? why is it that the one side of nature that depresses most people actually lift my spirits?
i love the smell of rain in the air before the first drop ever falls. i love waking up on a rainy day, cozy and wrapped up in my blankets in bed with the damp cold air making it even colder in my room. i love sitting in a dark room with just a window open because the light is dim even at noon. i love sitting here on the couch, or in my room on the recliner, with a warm mug of chai as i sit here typing away with the rain as my background music.
then there are the two things i love most about rain. the first being that it cools everything off. i know that i will get to wear long sleeves today, and that makes me so happy. something about the coziness of even a light weight long-sleeved shirt makes me absolutely giddy.
the other thing i love is how everything looks after a good rain. it's the artist in me. colors pop, and everything looks and feels more alive after the rain has finally dwindled, but before the sun returns. even once the sun does shine through the dark sky, everything just takes on a whole new life, and i want to capture it all and soak it in for as long as possible.
on the more, er, perhaps unbelievable side of it all, i am a pisces true and true. water always has a tendancy to make me feel better, so it's no surprise that the rain lifts me up, rather than depressing me. regardless of why, i think i shall go use this time of inspiration wisely and get some homework done, and then maybe work on a painting. it's going to be tough, though, as i have two very cuddly kitties on me, who also love rainy days.
much love to all,

a simple solution...
so what do you do when rocks are uber-boring, and being sick sucks? well...i can't really help with the part about the rocks because let's face it, they are boring. however, as for the sick part, i've decided to ignore it.
that isn't to say that i'm trying to say i'm not sick...no, that would be denial, and there's a big difference between denying something and ignoring it.
what i'm doing is saying, okay, so i'm sick, and being sick really does suck, so instead of dwelling on how much it sucks, i'm just going to ignore it. it's like when you get a papercut and it doesn't hurt until you notice it. once you've noticed this small annoying little cut on your hand, it immediately starts burning and hurting, and becomes all you can think about. but if you hadn't noticed it, or just ignored it once you did notice it, you wouldn't be in so much pain. so that's the idea. i am aware that i'm sick, but i don't want to feel sick, so i'm ignoring that i am sick in order to get stuff done and do what i want to do.
anyway. i'm going to go buy some shoes today because that's what i feel like doing. then i've gotta come home and do some english homework and some psychology death and dying homework. both are online, so it's not a big deal, just a bit time consuming.
so i'm off. enjoy you're weekend everyone.

rocks are boring and being sick sucks...
so i'm sick. the first few days i have off are because i'm not allowed to go to work or class.
work is going good...both jobs actually. class is good too, but geology is a complete bore. it's all keeping me extremely busy, and i only get one full day off a week, but i think it will all be okay. at least, once i get over this sick crap.
anyway. rob's at movie night, and i'm sitting here watching a fag flick so i'm gonna go.
have a good weekend all.
