you know you've been spending too much time on a computer when while hand-writing a word you're not sure how to spell you just give it your best shot and wait for a red squiggly line underneath if its wrong.

last nights daily show is the exact reason i dont follow the news to the tee or listen to the media. no one knows what the fuck they are talking about. i'm sick of people jumping to any conclusion they can think of.

Governmentium

2008-12-17T01:36:01Z

***NEW CHEMICAL ELEMENT***

Lawrence Livermore Laboratories has discovered the heaviest element
yet known to science. The new element, Governmentium (symbol=Gv),

has one neutron, 25 assistant neutrons, 88 deputy neutrons, and 198
assistant deputy neutrons, giving it an atomic mass of 312.

These 312 particles are held together by forces called morons, which
are surrounded by vast quantities of lepton-like particles called
peons. Since Governmentium has no electrons, it is inert. However, it
can be detected, because it impedes every reaction with which it comes
into contact.

A tiny amount of Governmentium can cause a reaction that would
normally take less than a second, to take from 4 days to 4 years to
complete. Governmentium has a normal half-life of 2 to 6 years. It
does not decay, but instead undergoes a reorganization in which a
portion of the assistant neutrons and deputy neutrons exchange places.

In fact, Governmentium's mass will actually increase over time, since
each reorganization will cause more morons to become neutrons, forming
isodopes. This characteristic of moron promotion leads some scientists
to believe that Governmentium is formed whenever morons reach a
critical concentration.

This hypothetical quantity is referred to as critical morass. When
catalyzed with money, Governmentium becomes Administratium
(symbol=Ad), an element that radiates just as much energy as
Governmentium, since it has half as many peons but twice as many
morons.

one of those days.

"kathy, Im lost, I said, though I knew she was sleeping
Im empty and aching and I dont know why
Counting the cars on the new jersey turnpike
Theyve all gone to look for america
All gone to look for america
All gone to look for america"

My brother and I are starting a comic some time in the near future. He is writing and I'm illustrating. I will be posting and creating a new feed for it upon its invention. Keep an eye out bitches.

In the mean time I have created a flickr page with some pics of me and pictures of my sketches. Hopefully I'll be working on bigger projects soon, like poster size :D

I'm getting heavily back into art. I am sketching daily and working on a sculpting project, bought some oven back clay that is *very* forgiving. If i'm happy with the outcome of the model i'm going to create a mold for it and then cast it out of resin. I really missed art. I realized how much better I feel with a creative outlet, which is probably why I liked guitar so much. It offered me a medium just not one i was used to.

thats all for now.

Surgery went well. Been kinda wiped out for the past few days but there were no complications from the actual procedure and pain is minimal. Bren, Zac and my folks did an awesome job of taking care of me. Felt incredibly loved :)

I'll be so happy when this month is over. My health has been a disaster and I've been stressed about money and haven't been able to find work. I owed T-Mobile money from a couple months ago so that sucked me dry for the most part. School is horrible. Enjoying only one class at this point and have dropped the other two, I'm at three units now. I have never had such a sense of loss of direction in my life. I don't know what I'm doing or where I'm going or what will make me happy. RIght now its about making ends meet, finishing this one class I'm still in and finding a new job. My parents don't know yet that I have dropped all but one class though I dont think they will be shocked. I highly doubt I'll be in school this spring. Dont know where I will be living either or what I'll be doing for work. Given my current health situation though I need to do my best and find somewhere what will offer me decent coverage. My surgery is in a week. I wont be able to have sex for six weeks after that date or go surfing for four weeks. Dont know about soccer yet cause I forgot to ask. Will be in LA this weekend, coming up on thursday I believe and driving back down on Monday with my mom. Interested to see what the weekend will hold. Ev will be getting her gift a couple weeks late however, probably when I'm up for the art show.

I'm unhappy. Havent been happy for a while. And at this point I dont know what to do to fix it.

I'm tired of words. Tired of catchphrases. Maverick. Hope. Change. Joe 6-pack. Experience.
Our government can't do anything for us, can't do anything for you. We are a mass. Easily manipulated, distorted and toyed with.
I'm tired of the media, liberal, conservative, biased. I'm exhausted by this all. It honestly doesn't really matter who we elect as president, what we are told as a nation will be done during the term of office won't happen.
I'm tired of debates. Shallow, hollow debates in which the contestants spend more time shooting the other person down. The only specifics on any topic that can be offered by either party are on the fuckups of their opponent. Don't tell me why I should not vote for the other guy, tell me why I want you to be my leader you patronizing fuck.
I'm tired of humanity. Tired of the relentless cycle of repetition. I do think that we as a species have reached our boundaries of a learning curve. This is not to say we won't progress intellectually or technologically but we have ceased learning from our mistakes.
I take too much of what I hear and see in the news and around me seriously. Too much to heart. I know I'm not the only one but I think others who do are activists, they try and right the wrongs and better the situation. I don't see any of this as repairable, humanity will continue as it has and it depresses me. And since I won't do anything for betterment, because I see all attempts as futile, I am no better than the uneducated man. And this is why I fail.
I'm 20 and disillusioned with my world already. This is my first presidential election that I will be able to participate in and I probably won't be voting. And this is because it doesn't matter, and neither candidate has convinced me it ever will.
Fuck hope.

how about we just take tasers away from cops...?

my hair is blue. it was supposed to come out blue/purple but i guess we got the dye ratio wrong. so instead its a midnight blue with some lighter spots, we two toned it. three hours in the salon hanging out with amber and 25 bucks later.

my semester ends in two weeks. i've been stressed and miserable for the past month. i really want it to be over. called into work sick on Friday the day after my birthday to have a day of nothing. caught up of chores and errands, got my nails done, and did just a bit of biology hw. things that had to be done. i had no clean dishes, no clean clothes and hadnt slept well in weeks. it was a bday gift my myself, a less hectic day with no classes and no work, ending with freshly painted nails.

i never heard from yasmin for my birthday or just to return my call. at first i was pissed but at this point i dont really care. i dont think its a secret that the friendship has been on its way out for a few months now.

weekly therapy has been helping. slowly but surely. self realizations are always awkward to take. i am realizing that i am incredibly emotionally sensitive. I wear my emotions on my sleeve and if i am going to cry it cant be stopped. so not only am i very sensitive to the moods and actions of those around me but also to my own emotions. i cant shut down. i considered that normal but apparently not. this doesnt mean i break down over everything and have no spine but rather that everything means something to me. there are no careless actions or feelings.

i get paid Wednesday. saving for something. dont know what. maybe a tattoo. probably not a car, i wont be able to afford that at all on my hours and wages.

thats all. chem exam tomorrow.

20

2008-05-09T05:42:25Z

turned 20 today. was mostly a non event. didnt do anything for it cause i had school all day which included a chem lab final and very stressful calc test.

i'm tired and dont want to work tomorrow. my grandparents called today from florida to say happy bday, and now i think i'm going to save up to visit them. basically just need to save for airfare. i miss them. its been a few years now.

in an effort to better use my time I have for the most part out lawed TV and excessive time on the interwebs. TV is basically limited to Daily Show/Colbert Report or when friends are over and its a social event. Laptop use is more for news than myspace. I'm basically just wasting too much time. I dont think I read enough either so I'm setting a goal of two books a month, thats a new book every other week which I think is very doable. I'm hoping also that by limiting mindless activities i'll be able to draw out some sort of creative energy which i feel has been missing or lacking for a while now.

My next goal is to start exercising. I try to get into it but its hard for me to do on my own, I do best with team sports or activities because it puts more motivation and peer pressure on me. I also hate the gym. For now i'll try to pick up running but overall i'm really tired of being squishy and out of shape.

In books I am reading Thus Spoke Zarathustra by Nietchze which though it took me a bit to get into I am now loving, with the exception of his two page misogynistic rant.... kinda of to be expected from a german man before the 20th century. I am sure however that it will be one of those books that i read more than once and frequently reference. It suits my current mentality and fascinates me.

----

The news depresses me. Better said humanity depresses me, our media and news is a human product obviously. The more I read the more frustrated and angry I become. Initially it was at easy targets, such as Bush. Its easy to hate "the man", hate the system, and I still do. I become increasingly more fond of anarchy with every new article concerning politics, with debates on environment, gun control, immigration, and foreign policy. The seed of my anger was most certainly planted during Bush's presidency though what has grown from it extends to every corner of society. People disgust me. We are of an inefficient careless variety, though are lucky enough to have the saving grace of ingenuity so as to wriggle out of the problems we have created. We lack compassion for our fellow man and tend to not approach problems with a long lasting solutions, especially Americans. It is increasingly becoming more obvious to me how people can go insane within our society.

to be continued later, lost my train of thought for the moment.

very melancholy today. i'm not feeling very bright or capable right now. my intellect is something i have yet to prove to myself and when anyone succeeds in putting it into question or making my feel uneasy about it the feeling tends to stick for a few days. its ridiculous to be talked down to. yes i dropped out of high school and am attending a community college but neither of those dictate my *capacity for knowledge*. its fucking stupid for someone years ahead of me to treat me as thoughtless because all they really have over me is time. in time i too will have a degree and a paying job and I will hopefully be more well read and goal orientated. so for now you fucking jackass take your law degree and shove it.

in other news i got a job, at bread and cie part time. its a higher end bakery/sandwich shop. 9 bucks an hour about 20 hours a week. easy work. tattoos and gauges allowed though no facial piercings. i will be saving up for tattoos and a coche.

enigma, i'm miserable. come be my company.

back to homework.

Nailed the interview, was offered a position as "field manager" on the spot. I go back for training this Friday. I'll only be working 16-24 hours a week and earning around 8 bucks an hour + commission for fundraising done. I'm excited for it. Casual dress and facial piercings/crazy hair is ok. Sounds good to me.

Oh and going to Xile in OC tonight with Isaias. We'll see how that goes.
