Films About Ghosts

Just returned from Kentucky today. My grandfather has a German Shepard puppy to keep him occupied.

It was in the 20s-30s the entire time. No sun. Mostly gray and cloudy with some occasional rain. Felt like a Tim Burton film.

He personally showed me where my grandmother was. There's a glass casing in the living room with her urn and it is surrounded by some of her favorite things.

Saw Bob, Sandra, Glen, Betty, and Mitch while I was there. Played pool. Played several other games. Ha, Bob, my father, and myself sang an entire Counting Crows CD together while we were playing games. Almost sad that we all knew the lyrics to everything.




Heh, I always thought he had a striking resemblance to Pablo Picasso.

May Your Organs Fail Before Your Dreams Fail You

Catechumenation ceremony today at Saint Mary's. One of the Sponsors, Mort, explained the origin of the ceremony. During a time of persecution by Romans, the Christians had to meet in the catacombs and initiated people down there to make sure there were no Roman spies. Anyway, now if I die I get Catholic burial and I'm closer to getting confirmed.

This entire semester has been a blur. By credit hours, I believe, I will be a junior. I'm happy with that, but I was disappointed with me and my Organic. Need to work harder.

It kills me to see people who don't care about college or people who are given scholarships and just waste them.

Even worse, people who get jobs that don't help others. Yes, I know any job can help better the world for others in some way. But are you really content staying in retail the rest of your life? Will that help peace negotiations? Will that cure cancer? Ergh... maybe I just expect too much. I want degree because I want my job and I want my job because I want help others.

'What man is a man who does not make the world better?'

I wish everyone were more passionate about their future professions for the shear purpose that it may one day help someone else.

All is Well in Hell

Keep having those dreams again. Twice this week, actually... She's always coming back... She's always apologizing and telling me how much she still loves me... I don't understand why I'm still dreaming like this... I know she's happier... And I'm glad...

Heh... on one of my late night drives I saw a doe... Made me think that maybe God hasn't forgotten about me... I can't describe how I felt. The fact that it was a doe kinda reminded me about Severus and Lily... Stupid reference, yes, but stilll...

I Remember Halloween

Yesterday was nice.

Went as a Slytherin student complete with Dark Mark on forearm for my classes.

At night I switched costumes to my Victorian vampire costume. I added a silver domino mask and my Cavelier hat and made it more of a masquarade attire.

Leigh and I traversed the campus at night and then went to the U.C. for the event.

Cemetery Drive

Wow, I haven't updated since Big Spring Jam. I've been slacking.

Let's see...

I guess just this past month has gone by quickly. I love October. It is my favorite month of the year.

Anyway, went to the American Diabetes Association's 'Step Out' Walk.

Mom's birthday was yesterday, my grandmother's was today.

Been REALLY busy with school.

Went to the Renaissance Faire today. Saw many of my pirate brethren! It was great.

Personally though... I finally have an indescribable clarity about everything...

It is finally all making sense now, and I know what I need to do.

Accomplish goals first. Protect. Richard Cory. It's all so simple.

Relief

Today was great!

First day of Big Spring Jam and the weather was perfect.

Got to see Soul Asylum and Joan Jett and the Blackhearts.

I'm glad things are finally winding down and giving me a break.

Thank you, God.

Two more days of Big Spring Jam and they should be great too.

I honestly can't wait.

Heart of Glass

I don't know why I'm listening to this tbh.

I was never much of a Blondie fan, but it's a good song.

Ergh, so it would've been out five year anniversary today.

Still in shock that she got married last week... Her life. Not mine.

Biotech seminar today was amazing.

Dr. Allan S. Hoffman from the University of Washington presented it.

I am so glad to get September out of the way after this weekend.

Big Spring Jam is going to rock.
