Leaving tomorrow

So I'm leaving with my dad tomorrow morning - catching a 7:00 flight.

My sister gave me a picture frame to put a picture of the four of us to take with me to college, but that involved having a picture of the four of us. So we were going to take one today (but it was rainy) so fail. We ended up taking like an hour to get a decent shot sitting on our couch at home (20min to figure out the right settings to use - 40 to get everyone to smile).

Say cheese :)

Seeyall,

Update?

I haven't posted much in a while - and I apologize for that.

I had an amazing time working at camp my colleagues, mentors and employers were great. As if there was any way they wouldn't be.

Since then I've been spending a lot of time doing nothing. I've been packing. Everyone's gone :(

Oh! - I got a new camera - panasonic dmc-fz100

So i'll post some pictures if I take nice ones

Sleep Paralysis

Hey all,

I wrote about having the experience of feeling paralyzed in a half-sleep state. I seemed to have been wrong however in calling it a form of lucid dream. I recently found that this is something that is relatively common - termed sleep paralysis. Here's a link if any of you are interested in what Wikipedia has to say about it.

Cheers,

Story Snippets #2:

Dust settles on the floor in carpets. Next to the couch stands the worn-out, diminutive, chest of doors like a testament to the owner's pack-rat-ish tendancies. There was a spiderweb hanging like a curtain from the bottom of the table, blocking the passage of the curious hand. The television was an old SONY, a big boxy thing that took up a fair amount of space on the wall-unit.

The family that lived there weren't as old as the place made it seem. They had a kid off to college, one starting high school. They had no time to clean. None of them did.

Sup bro?

I grew to detest the 'bro.'

Grace à urbandictionary:
noun
An alpha male idiot. This is the derogatory sense of the word (common usage in the western US): white, 16-25 years old, inarticulate, belligerent, wife beaters, shitty music, talks about nothing but chicks and beer.

I am so sick of guys who think that it's going to get them somewhere to be complete asses around other people. Frankly it takes just as much effort if not less to be a decent human being.

Anyway,
I got so disheartened by the fact that the non bro (or bro equivalent) was so hard to come by that I cringed away from spending time with people that were supposed to be my friends.

So thank you to the people I am with right now. It is wonderful and enlightening to be around so many guys who don't see it as their life mission to be a jerk. It makes it easier to smile.

P.S.
Here's an alternate definition of bro: (again thanks to urbandictionary)

noun
A version of a bra specifically designed for men
[rofl - gotta love urbandictionary]

P.P.S.
A more complete definition of bro: (is it even worth mentioning at this point)

Bros ruin everything they touch. They are deeply racist, yet vulture-ize black culture with attempts to be "down", while living as far from any ghetto as humanly possible. It's because they seek danger, or the illusion of it.

Bros have also brought the concept of homophobia to a new level. You see, they love play fighting, tackling their mates, and joke incessantly about each other's wieners. But they will claim that there is no connection whatsoever between their overuse of the term "f****", their intense desires for close physical kinship with their pals, and their own closeted Bromosexuality. "No homo" is a phase that is commonly heard when saying saying something that sounded gay to show that you aren't gay after all.

*Bro's also pride themselves in their "im such a dick!" attitude. It's kind of a way of setting themselvs apart from the rest of us who might actually have some respect for traffic laws, women, and the general public. *
