12:31 am	Twas no happy birthday...but a hungry one When you get a day that sends you racing about campus (3 clases back to back) you don't get much in break, save for a snack outta snack machine (Twix). Cause I woke up at 930 or so, and having a 10am doc appt, I thought I'd be spared time for lunch..but when I got back in at 1030, I had to make some phone calls...blah But did I take the chance to go to lunch before my noon class? Nope I did the next worst thing I thought I'd make a nice "post" in RIT only I did it in a bit of a rush and didn't revise before I left..so that didn't excatly go as I planned. So I miss out on lunch, and breakfast, but when I got to class I see one of the Cprint (ask me if you wanna know what is) surprised me by brining in ice cream...guess that was the only treat for the day. I rushed myself back across campus to 'tend to photo class and tried my hand at pinhole camera again.Although I got 2 "snapshots" down, I think the first one looked better than the 2nd (if you can try coutning to 1 min o 2 ins without a watch, don't...get a watch) So I still need to perfect the pinhole camera. Least I can setup the film without seeing so much in the darkroom (they don't call it a darkroom for being dark..It's DARK in there! I didn't get much of a dinner, hell I ate alone for bday again...How..expected I swear my 30th bday better not be much fof a repeat, I hear turning 30 s a big deal...just hope it ain't no bloody surprise party...I hate them things Current Mood: hungry (5 Comments |Comment on this)

11:12 am	Is this day really worth it? Honestly, since nobody knows offhand what today is (other than date) I'm not sure if I should make it known the big deal of it all...it's NOT a big deal, it's just a fucking AGE! I men, when I turn (cough) next year, that's a different story for 2 reasons, it's a big # to some people and it's the year I'm due to graduate...Graudating at (cough) isn't excatly thrilling Sometimes I wish this day'll go faster so I can get it over with. ANd if you think, just for one second to go on and say those godforsaken words, I will seriously hurt you. It's NOT a ahppy day, happy days died when the show canceled Current Mood: annoyed (3 Comments |Comment on this)

4:02 pm	People dying left and right This year is being a bringer of Death among us. Cochrane, John Paul II, Hunter Thomas...but when it comes to someone I actually know (who I never met personally) it's a strange realization. I found out today that my conselor in FL has passed away. Well, at least someone thought to tell me that I'm getting a new one this time. The problem with Div. of Blind Services in FL, they make changes in conselors and not mention it to me. Least I'm prepared for the new one, Just have to explain my strory to them all over again. Wonder who'll die next, Pope Benedict XIV I'm guessing...I'll give him no more than 6 months (16 Comments |Comment on this)

10:08 pm	I swear clocks are out to get me I'm having a start of a wierd week with clcosk and watches lately. It all started back in the fall with a clock I got in summer I thought was "broken" the LED #'s weren't displaying but the alarm was still going off...thinking it was dead, I went ahead to buy a new one..I call it backup in case I had to send this "broken" ne back to company to get fixed. Turns out, it wasn't "broken" just had the power plug pulled outta the clock..here's a tip people, check ALL the plugs. Thing is, it finally appeared broken when I realized... "Oh hell no, it was on battery!" D'oh! Now over the weekend, it looked like the backup was "broken" too...only when I thought..checking plugs in clock, they're all in, checked the extention cord ..that's in..but what I didn't check..was the cord to wall outlet...loose! D'oh! Thing is, I thought it was "broken" and tried to use the one I started with again. When I got it plugged ain and tried to set time and alarm, something was fishy...the LED time was flashing like the alarm was going off...Hmmm, so I go to sleep to wake up nearly late for class yesterday, so last night I thought to play with alarm again to "test" it out..only I opted to do that when I was going to bed rather than earlier in the night..figured I have time in wolrld cause it takes a bit to fall asleep. Only I just realized..it still was NOT working right...WTF? See, I got them clocks with shaker, see? the 2 clocks seem to have shaker but when I took shaker from new clock (one I bought in Fall) and pulleg into older lock (Summer) the LED died...D'oh! I suspect I just shorted the clock out when I was using the shaker not meant for this clock What the hell is this, cocks not wanna work lately? I thought I remembered how to set the alarm and time (t's different way of setting up than the older one) and go to sleep...to wake up at 4am to realize..it was set wrong...I didn't believe what time it was I even got my watch...that didn't look right either (either watch was reading quarter after 10 or 10 to 3..I still can't read them apart with the face watches) Oh wait...battery's dead Duh So now I get clock back to work now I gotta figure what's the deal with the older one, if I really did fuck it up this time I swear, this week is getting wierder by the day, I'm thinking all hell's gonna break lose come Th (5 Comments |Comment on this)

1:44 am	Silence is often deafening... Now, I don't take silence well. I don't take it kindly when I'm left alone with no one to talk to. It's possible that the long periods of being alone, in silent world I got to talking to myself. DOes it mean I'm crazy? Could be..but I do it because I got no one else to talk to. I have been doing this online bit for just over 10 yrs now and I notice that at best, communicating with people online seems easier than in person (due to my limited hearing and sight) But I also notice people don't want to let me into some conversations because I tend to jump into it too much (online I mean). Honestly, I'm starting to grow weary of just chatting with people online. The difference with online communication and that in person, I know the person is busy and is there to talk to (in person) but I can't tell if someone is distracted when I'm IMing them . People might imagine that I shouldn't take communication online so seriously. But these people don't realize that this (waves to the Net) is the most communication I get than I do in real life. Sad, but it's true WIth so much on my mind, it's hard to find someone I really enjoy talking to that I can touch base with on so many levels. I would imagine, if I ever should...marry someone, we would have to be active in communicating; whether it be restricted to online or in person, is irrelevant, it's just to talk to someone about anything and everything. Current Mood: sad (2 Comments |Comment on this)

7:52 am	How the hell am I awake OK, this can't be right, I must've feel asleep sometime after 2 and I'm waking up just close to 730...and when I take a closer look at my alarm..I notice something wierd...it's NOT set..WTF? THis is like the 3rd time or something I woke up early and the alarm turned itself off...I mean I know I can't go back to sleep with a 10am class, but still...alarms like this should wake you up, not the other way around... I suspect it'll be the start of a wierd day Current Mood: confused (4 Comments |Comment on this)
12:23 am	Cat hunting? Ok...I know it was big in US to hunt some mountain lions at some point, and tigers and lions in Africa and Asia at another, but...wild cats, or domestic cats who hang around outside? http://www.cnn.com/2005/TECH/science/04/12/killing.wildcats.ap/index.html I mean, I'm a big on cats but not as a hunting prize. Doesn't this seem a bit...cruel to hunt cats that aren't big like cougars and panthers, these are feral or house cats who like to be outside...man, Wiscousin's suppose to be a liberal state..oh, I forgot as of '04, it's a red state (1 Comment |Comment on this)

11:27 pm	Easiest class/teacher I took a social work class last quarter (Winter Quarter for you nonRIT people) and I think I can tell you, we had one professor, who is an adjunct. That is, she teaches part time and full time social worker in upstate NY. I should point out this was a Social Work Advocacy Policy class, and I bet you that the entire class got A's. To make it intersting..our final exam was easy at best, we just had to go to Nazareth College and sit through a LEAD leacture...I mean, whoever said we had to stay awake or pay attention! To make it fun, I got the same teacher again for Spring Quarter and she's like, "Y'know, I could give you all A's if you all do a good paper/presentation" Well, that's it, I got an A, I just gotta do the presentation (Comment on this)

1:31 pm	Life's a lonely road... We may not realize it, but life is often a journey of discovery. We discover ourselves and things about people along the way. You could say we don't have any maps to follow when we take this trek down into life. We often wish we had maps to help guide us when we find ourselves lost. We often wish we have guides, sto stand with us along the way to assure us that this is the right path to take. I believe there are 2 types of journeys: Journey were we phyiscally travel around the world discovering new people, ideas, and learn something about ourselves. There is also the mental journey, where we look back and ahead in our mind's eye trying to imagine what lies ahead, or what could've been done different in the past travels. Where I may not have seen as much of the world as I would've liked, but I can say I have taken a grand journey of the mind that has sharpened my insight and understanding of some things, but nothing is ever certain, for all things change in meaning and everything is always open to interpretation. So as I start this here journal into a journey that is far from over...I invite you to bear an open mind, for nothing is ever certain. Some journeys are meant to be walked alone, but they are also meant to be shared. Let's look down the road and back the way from where hence I came and take on an adventure that is life.
