| "Hey let's try to get on bench by March =]"
"Hahaha you think so?"
"If we work hard enough we can do it I bet."
"Why March though?"
"Well, Spring kinda starts in March doesn't it? So that means change is going to happen."
"Oh good one Sir Poet."
Change happened indeed.

| It seems the only time I use this is really late at night. Sometimes I think it'd be nice if you could just open up someone's brain and read them like a book. Imagine how much easier life would be. Actually, sometimes I wish I didn't think so much either. Seems like all the problems that come about are a result of thinking too much anyways. The more I think, the more questions I end up having. Of course, it's not as if these questions had answers to them anyways.
I think there are some questions that you can only ask once. It's as if you had just one chance to ask and if you asked at the wrong time, you'd never be able to ask again. What are you supposed to do with these kinds of question? Better yet, what do you do when you know that you can't ask them anymore?
I think this is a result of having too much relaxation time. I mean, if I spent all day worrying about school work and college and life etc etc, I wouldn't have time to come up with things like this. I've noticed that the more relaxing time I have, the more I think about things like this. Maybe that's why our society always needs to be doing something. We call it "being productive," but sometimes I think it's just running away. Running away from wanting to understand ourselves and the world we live in. I don't think it's possible to even begin to try to understand anything if we spend all day being "productive."
I find that when I blog like this, I'm doing the whole "stop and smell the flowers" kinda thing. It's like a reflection time almost. I think everyone needs a reflection time...some more than others.
Put the work away and look at yourself in the mirror. Start by asking yourself who's that person looking back at me.

| An owl once told me to stop thinking and just go with the flow.
I think that owl had a point.
Thanks owl.

| On the way back home from LA, I realized something as I looked out the airplane window at night. As eerie as it is, human technology is quite amazing. From high above, city lights look almost like Halloween all over again. Like a giant lit up pumpkin, it's really quite an amazing thing to see. It might be true that all the lights we have in the city really do block out the stars, but I don't think we give the city lights enough credit for their own beauty. When we were flying over San Jose, I thought it was the most beautiful thing that I've ever seen in my life. For miles and miles, the city glowed with its orange street lights. It made me wonder, what else am I missing out there? If I didn't notice the simple beauty of the street lights that I see everyday, imagine all the things I'm really missing. Makes me want to just slow life down even more, take some time to really smell the flowers in a sense.
On top of that, I think I'll start putting aside an hour a day to just read. My English Professor once said that reading is a dying art. I think he's right. In today's world, who has time to sit down and enjoy a book? In fact, how many author's can say they write a book for the joy of making a good story instead of the amount of money they'd bring in? Settling down in front of the fireplace as the weather gets colder with a good book...now that's a really nice way to spend a day no? Makes playing games and watching tv seem obsolete...it's a shame that things are the other way around.
Life is hard. Sometimes we just need a little time to leave it all behind. I think I'll start by opening a book.
