Yes, it's Thursday, which means only 2 more days until Sunday. Score! Here's some interesting news:

Business is hectic, but I like it. Many things are coming, and I can't wait to see what happens, good or bad. Change is good. I love change. I feel death coming on. Not to me, but I have a bad feeling that I will have my first experience with dealing with death soon. I hope I'm wrong.

Education Can Be Fun

Here is a nice article in Wikipedia (a free-content encyclopedia) about the word Fuck. It is a very exhaustive and thorough article, although very readable, if I may say so myself.

In other news:
"A Malaysian man shot and killed his wife after he mistook her for a monkey picking fruit in a tree behind their house"

First, a news clipping:
"A Spanish man tried to have his wife charged with domestic abuse because she refused to have sex with him on five consecutive days, Spanish newspaper El Sur reported on Friday"

Ah those Spaniards! Anyways, life has been soooo hectic recently, which is evident from my lack of recent posts. What can I say, work is going well, with quite a lot waiting to happen. Family is good (saw Angela yesterday - jannnn), friends I don't see much (blame that on the work!), and love is definetly in the air.

Now if I could only fix my phone so that it takes a little less than 12 hours to get a text message...

Haven't posted pictures in a while huh? This one is actually by an Armenian: Garik Avanesian. It's great seeing Armenians doing something beautiful for once.

Belle de Jour

Remember a while back I posted a blog about a weblog by a London call girl? Well, she's calling it quits, and she even made the news about it:

That's the blog, and the Yahoo! News article is here

Very interesting, I must admit.


I haven't had a chance to post here in a while. Life is going fast, with love, death, and work. The first being my most treasured. I can't wait to see where it takes us.

September 11 - 3 years later

I wrote this September 2002 and, sadly, it still is so true today:

rivers of flags
oceans of flowers
materializing the event of
the attack on the twin towers

our peace suddently stolen
on the 11th of september
a tragic flashback
pearl harbor, 7th of december

but all we see is the red, white, blue
blind to what our government has turned this country into
individual rights are no longer a priority
free speech on hold without our authority

Do You Realize...

Well a week ago or so I met someone new. I had known her for years (apparently she knew me 2 years longer than I knew her) but we never really knew eachother. Long story short, sparks flew (either because of us or someone was welding behind us). I didn't look at her the same way, and she didn't look at me the same way. Let's see where it takes us. What a wonderful feeling.

Sweet as Honey

That she is.

Odd but True

I have always had a thing with words. Some words I absolutely hated, others I loved. They had nothing to do with what they meant, just the way they sounded and looked. Here are the ones I can think of at the moment:

Music - I think it is hopelessly disgusting. That starting "mu" just gets on my nerves. But actual music I love, I couldn't live without it. Here are the other words I hate:
Travel - I think it's the ending "vel" that pisses me off. I'm not sure why. I, as is evident, love to travel though.
Outdoors - Ah, sick! Probably because it makes me think of sticky skin, no place to sit, and no air to breathe. However, by my very nature, I love to be outdoors. There are no indoor activities that I like.
Family - Could it be the "fam"? Most likely. Family means everything to me, but you will rarely hear me say that because I hate the word so much.
Water - This comes from my OCD. If I'm dry, I can't stand having any part of me being wet (keep your minds out of the gutter for 5 minutes damnit!). But once I am actually in the water, good luck getting me out.

Does anyone else have this weird negative emotional attachment to words, abstract from their meaning?

In other news, I can't wait to jump again. I did 1,000x better on my AFF2 than my AFF1. I was able to keep my body in the proper position and had no problem with turns (which are so damn fun!) and altitude awareness. My parachute opened up perfectly this time and there were no winds. I didn't quite land on my feet, but that was by choice since I wanted to avoid the bush I would have inevitably walked into if I had stood up. I would love to make my AFF9 jump one day before my birthday, so I need to get 6 more jumps in before November 7. Ah shucks ;-) If any of you want to come with me (you can do a tandem, it's very fun and there is no long training involved) let me know.

In other other news, my home computer is completely empty now, other than Windows, AIM, and PokerStars. Don't play with PartitionMagic through pcAnywhere from work, kids! Just say no!
