Two Left

Five down and two to go. Oh please, physics and philosophy can you go smoothly tomorrow. That would be great if it isn't too much to ask. Well, back to studying I must go.

Sunday Morning, Every Morning

Sunday is such a calm day, slow day, my “grow” day. Some of the happiest things that have ever happened to me were all on a Sunday. When I think about the word “Sunday” it’s like a flood gate is opened in my mind. It’s just a crazy, mixed feelings kind of happiness. I get this funny look on my face and I look up to the left and just relive it all. Don’t get me wrong- with good comes the bad. I have very happy memories that are immediately tied to very bad memories. In my opinion that is just a sub definition of being human. Good with the bad to make a whole, that you just so happen to consider on the positive side. Never really realize how that works, do we? To me it’s in that category where you just don’t have to explain it. It is because it is and so is the opposite. Bad days are just good days in disguise. They make you look a little closer, think a little deeper, but in the end behind it all each day has the same potential as the next.


Sunday is a shy day, a fly day, my "hay" day.

I guess it never really matters how each day is if you just choose for it to be one way despite every possible thing that thinks it should be this other way. Only you can change your attitude so you can't just give into chance. Let your heart decide how to feel it out with whatever your head decides. Memories are memories and they stay with us for different reasons but you have the power to influence these types of memories.

Act out of love with your heart- it uses more consideration than your head.

And so it begins!

In the words of little Nemo, "First day of school! Wake up! Wake up! First day of School! C'mon!"

Well, it is the first day of school once again and the flood gate of excitement is open. I literally have a pep in my step. I have been bouncing all over the place today and my first class has not even happened yet. Today is a somewhat easy day considering I only have two classes and work the desk only one short hour.

I am wearing my new Dr. Seuss shirt today. "Un pez, dos peces. Pez rojo, pez azul." One fish, two fish. Red fish, blue fish. This shirt has had my eye for a bit of the summer-- thank you to Target for still having it in my size even after the back-to-school rush.

Philosophy and Physics, my two p's, are the classes for today. I'm most excited for Philosophy because I have a a good teacher, although I don't know if I have that class with anyone. Now Physics is a little different story- I have heard some discomforting things about the teacher but on the flip side I do know several people that I have that class with. Still a win-win situation in my mind because if it turns out bad at least we're all in there together!

Not to mention how could any day be bad when I have already talked to some lovely people to start the day off right. One of which I get to see later today-- MARSHA! I am so excited that she is teaching here now. Boy was I sad at just the thought of her not being on campus anymore. Whew!

It can't be said any better than this, "Today is a great day to be a Bobcat!"

"Chócomataco" by Riley Nix

From high school spanish my sophomore year, I think.


Chócomataco vive en la ciudad en un arbol
Ella come frutas y vegetales y algunos carne,
pero...
Chócomataco favorita comida es tacos!
Ella raja diccionarios en dos.

"For you, I care" by Riley Nix

Thursday, 22 March 2007
When I look at you across the room
At church it doesn't seem so bad.
And then I think of your smile,
The rest just fades away.
It's like the rest doesn't matter anymore.
I can't help but to smile back
Even though it was the whole reason I looked.
Your look calms me down
Slows me to a stop
For a second all is still.
You matter most
And I get the joy to see it.
Goodbye I'm forced to say each time
When my heart screams not to do so.
You're the world to a lot of people
Dont' let the facade fool you.
I always hope for our next moment to share
Yes you are the one of whom I care.

"I'm giving in. You win." by Riley Nix

My heart is racing.
My head is spinning.
I am about to burst out in tears.
I want to get up and run till I collapse.
I'm tired of caring so much always to get nothing in return.
To feel washed up, used up.
And no one cares.
Seriously I just dont know what to do
I hate to be sad or feel mad over this
But I am through pretending it's not bothering me.
I'm giving in. You win.

"Miss the taste of wanting you?" by Riley Nix

"...They'll miss the taste of wanting you, Call out your name like I still do..."
-Matt Nathanson


My eyes are clouded with pain.
My heart hurts it's so low in my chest.
Why do I let everything cut me so deep?
My head throbs from holding back tears.
I'm that sad lonely shade of blue even when I'm happy.
I don't know why you got to me
Or why I shiver with the fear of losing you.
I know you'll be alright
But that's not what the world shows my eyes.

Ten Rules for Being Human by Cherie Carter-ScottShare

Found this and thought it was worth a little chuckle..


1. You will receive a body. You may like it or hate it, but it's yours to keep for the entire period.


2. You will learn lessons. You are enrolled in a full-time informal school called, "life."


3. There are no mistakes, only lessons. Growth is a process of trial, error, and experimentation. The "failed" experiments are as much a part of the process as the experiments that ultimately "work."

4. Lessons are repeated until they are learned. A lesson will be presented to you in various forms until you have learned it. When you have learned it, you can go on to the next lesson.

5. Learning lessons does not end. There's no part of life that doesn't contain its lessons. If you're alive, that means there are still lessons to be learned.

6. "There" is no better a place than "here." When your "there" has become a "here", you will simply obtain another "there" that will again look better than "here."


7. Other people are merely mirrors of you. You cannot love or hate something about another person unless it reflects to you something you love or hate about yourself.


8. What you make of your life is up to you. You have all the tools and resources you need. What you do with them is up to you. The choice is yours.

9. Your answers lie within you. The answers to life's questions lie within you. All you need to do is look, listen, and trust.

10. You will forget all this.

So close to the cactus..

I went on my mission finally to find one of those little cacti at King Feed. Although, much to my dissapointment there were only sad little patheric ones. So instead I went on a giant adventure taking pictures of all the lovely flowers that were there. It was fun to look at all the bright colors now that everyone is gearing up for spring.

After that I went out to say hello to Ariel and head back. I sat by the side of the road and talked to Adena for a bit and then ended up going out to her place to tag along for her trip to Arnosky's. We took the Miata and drop with the top down. I never realized there were so many types of tomatoes but by golly there are a ton! We picked out lots of tomatoes for her garden.

When we were done with that we decided to go to Blanco-- aka Adena decided sheerly on the fact that I had never really been there, just driven through like most people. We went to her favorite little bakery to get a cookie and sat outside to eat them.  From there we went to this store down town, I think. She goes there all the time. It's the place she gets her scrunchies from (now I have one too!). I got a teal one, I love it!

It was a great day. Being outside and just enjoying life was so nice and relaxing.

I shutter that you have to ask...

..If there is a God. Yes there is, the world (and Satan) are just clouding your sight. And pain is a part of life I don't care what you do or don't believe.

A lot of the pain is to bring us together. And the pain is self- inflicted usually but also, Satan trying to knock us down. He ran from God and he wants us to do the same. Society is sure helping him do so. Pain is a part of life, for a Christian Earth is supposed to be the only Hell we ever experience. I love the fact that making it through this silly life fullfilling my purpose for God and then never having to hurt again, is so worth every bit of it. I'm not perfect so I know I will do things to trip up all the time and those will lead to pain. But with cancer, it's hard to explain why and it sucks most of all. Especially when you don't get to say goodbye to the person and they don't get to say goodbye to anyone. But the truth is no one gets out of life alive so worrying about how/when we die does nothing for us. You are the only one who feels the things you do. That is something special in and of itself. You will be able to relate differently to someone because you know how they feel. When someone understands me on something like that it makes a world of difference.

Let's learn some Physics, shall we?

Newton's First Law:
"An object's velocity remains constant unless the object is acted upon by and external net force."

translation/break down:
velocity is the rate  of diplacement or the rate of change of position. Key thought, "How fast and in what direction."
constant can say the object is stationary or moving. This is at zero (continuing in a state of rest) or not zero (uniform motion in a straight line).
external net force is the total force acting upon it. This changes when the object is not at zero.

terms:
reference frame- it is those things we say are not moving, to which we refer when describing the motions of other things.
inertia- is an intrinsic property of motion; the state of an object staying in motion or not in motion.
mass- is a measure of inertia (in kilograms).
weight- is the force due to gravity (in newtons).

clicker question findings:
motion is not an intrinsic property of motion.
an object at rest will remain at rest.
an object in motion will remain in motion.
motion is uniform, constant in both speed and direction.
equilibrium is the name for "the net external force equals zero."
1 liter of water (which is it's measure in volume) has a mass of 1 kilogram (of inertia) and 10 Newtons of force (due to gravity).


This is just a little bit of the stuff to know for the first test. I feel confident because I have been able to explain it to others. A lot of those times with out having to read it. Little Joey, I hope you are on my side- let's do some physics!

"I can't hear your voice." by Riley Nix [written January 20, 2010]

When I read things you wrote or retell things you said I don't hear your voice anymore. I'm scared that I'm forgetting what you sound like all together. I find it hard to handle missing you so much. I don't get to talk about you because people just don't care anymore. It's almost like you're fading away. I hate that more than anything. I miss you.

"(fivehundred)" by Riley Nix [written January 18, 2010]

It sucked but end up kinda with all things well. I just hope movies finally have their place with the world and anything that means anything is what wins the day in the end. Knowledge changes everything. I don't think I knew this but I had never truly to that degree walked in someone else's shoes and got it. I don't think I've ever gotten it like this.




I still don't know what I am supposed to be for you. I am quite sure I will never know but am resting assured that I will never give up. No matter how much time and space squeeze their way in between. When your heart hurts mine does too. I can feel it get heavy in my chest and all I can do is let the tears slid from my eys. This is the reason I know all is meant to be, eventually. Sometimes I wish, I really do, that I could better help keep the pain from people I love dearly. I wish it for perfect strangers.

Cactus

Friday's advie from Tarrot.com
"Rid your life of unwanted people by putting a cactus plant in the center portion of the back part of your home or office."

Ok, well the fact that I already have been direly wanting a cactus is now getting it's button pushed. I tell you when I get that sucker it's goin' exactly there in the middle of the back of my room, withing reason due to my sharing a room with another person. I might just have to hange what is considered to be the front of my room to match up with the front of the building as a whole and then setting it on my desk will do just fine. ={D

Blog, 2010

Well 2009 you bid us farewell and we said our goodbyes on the toes of high hopes for the new and exciting things the yet unfloded 2010 brings. Day one of the new adventure has begun, so I ask should I walk or should I run? First I'll just put one foot in front of the other and I'll see where that leads me.

"Blog" in and of itself has inspired many things to find on Google(tm) and below are a few. My best thoughts ome out of the last one because it give the best argument for the inventive hand sign of the year in my book. I'd say it is much better than the typical gang signs that have been around mostly doing no one any good. This is a new light in use of our hands, out of literal use with things like actual sign language.
