Give me a break, it’s been a LONG weekend.

*in best Comic Book Guy voice* “Longest move ever.”

Holy crap. So from about 3:00 PM yesterday (or whenever we got back from St. Marie’s, Matt, I can’t remember) to approximately 5:00 this afternoon, I’ve been moving out/helping Sean move to his new apartment. No sleep. Mashed potatoes break for both of us around midnight, but that was it.

But damn, I got that kitchen clean. 

What’s worse is the fact that I have to go work a 22-hour shift in two hours. Please kill me now.

So can we all say that we’ve witnessed the day that pigs flu?

Oh…life is strange, isn’t it?

Sometimes you want something and work on trying to suppress the want before finally giving up and going after it deliberately.

And then you get it, but only for a little while, until you realize it’s not meant to be and you might as well forget about it, no matter how hard it is (but you secretly still hope for it).

And then a bunch of new developments arise and you realize you’ll most likely never get what you want, and at the same time it also comes into light that you could have had what you now want way back at the start, before you even knew that’s what you wanted…but that’s all in the past so why bother with it anyway?

And then time passes, you try to forget about the thing you wanted, passing it off as something that will never happen in a million years. And you start to actually believe it and actually start to forget.

And then it happens, completely out of the blue, completely in a way that was unanticipated.

And you’re happy about it.

Cryptic? Who cares, it’s my blog.

Man, this house looks WEIRD without DA COLE TRAIN sitting in the middle of the living room. It also looks weird when it’s clean.

Yay.

A question for you fine ladies and gentlemen

Why do a lot of us automatically see doing something “because of love” as a bad thing? Like suppose a person decided to abandon their current job (or whatever) and move across the country to follow someone they love. Why do we tend to look down on that, especially in comparison to someone who abandoned their current job and moved across the country to follow some other passion, like a passion to become a photographer or something?

I mean, I understand the fickleness of humanity, so I guess that’s part of it. Your passion for photography will not change its mind—the only reason it wouldn’t be important to you would be if you decided it wasn’t. Your boyfriend/girlfriend, on the other hand…

But still, when you think about it, a lot of our unhappiness comes from love-/relationship-related stuff, doesn’t it? So doesn’t that indicate that it is at least somewhat important for the human condition? I say yes. So I also say we should stop looking down on love.

Sorry, it’s like 5 AM and this is coming out of nowhere.

Oh god, it’s me in sea creature form

Ostentatious little thingies, aren’t they?

Another beautiful iTunes single

Here is this week’s stunning iTunes single. Get it before it costs money! Or get it after that, even, it’s that good.

This is how slow electronic SHOULD sound.

Vaio on life support!

So…uh…

Vaio’s screen kinda bit it. I was sitting there listening to music and moved the screen to adjust its tilt, and it instantly cracked and spider-webbed from the point of contact. So I now can see nothing but this beautiful spider web pattern on the main screen, and have an external Dell (ewww!) monitor hooked up so I can actually use it.

So yeah. Vaio’s on monitor dialysis. Other than that (and its lack of hard drive space and 400 db fan), it works fine still. But I guess I can’t really use it as a laptop if I have to hook it to an external monitor (even though it was already tethered via power supply and internet).

Man, Sony makes some durable computers.
