one man two hands

Firstly, I’ll put some additional likes and dislikes, this time a little more quirky…

I dislike when an auto-toilet flushes when you are still on the seat.

I like walking out into cold air after a hot shower.

I like it when people (girls) wear boots.

I like watching sad commercials.

I dislike rushing to class.

I like playing guitar.

I dislike bugs.

I like pies.

So I thought I would really have a lot more things to remember since last post. Oh well. I didn’t even realize that it looked kind of stagger-y until now.

Anyhoo, a lot has happened in just a few months at school. I have the most sweet and beautiful girl by my side and I’m still having an engaging (for the most part) time during class. Although, I can’t even remember the last time I went running or done anything active in general, but hopefully I can get back into shape. I’ve just been eating a lot and watching Youtube a lot and not being as productive as I want. Hmm… I’m guessing there are other people in the same boat as me.

In other news… my brother and his wife are expecting!!!!! (yes, a baby). I’m so excited to see a new generation of my family pop into this world, and it’s really made me think of just how lucky I am to be here at all. I mean, we’re only here for a couple years, and I’m pretty sure I waste a good deal of it on nothing at all. Whether its the internet, food, games, or sleep, I just feel kind of guilty that I’m not making the most of it. What bothers me most are the arguments or grudges I  hold just because of a few differences in opinion. For serious. My own pettiness will seem so insignificant when I look back at my life in the future. Anyway, I just feel blessed that I’m going to be an uncle soon and I don’t want these flaws to rub off on my nephew/niece; I just really want him/her to wake up with a bold, loving attitude every single day.

And that’s how the cookie crumbles.

Toodles.

So I haven’t had a chance to update in a while due to not wanting to, though I would like to say that its because I’ve had no time. Anyway, life is good. Move-in was not stressful at all, classes are thankfully interesting, and the freshmen are delightfully excited for anything.

I really don’t have anything else to say (I’m super boring) so I’ll make a list of the small things I like (and dislike):

1. I like genuine people

2. I dislike adults who act like children

3. I dislike children who act like adults

4. I like waking up really early in the summer, just so I can enjoy the cold, crisp, renewing air

5. I like trying outrageous foods without any thought to consequences

6. I dislike being praised for things I do well

7. I dislike creepy, pushy, or elitist people

8. I like to laugh at creepy, pushy, or elitist people

9. I like to sacrifice for my friends

10. I like the feeling of getting into a really hot car knowing that the A/C will come on soon

11. I like running until my whole body gives out

12. I dislike having to think about what to eat everyday

13. I dislike missing people

14. I like wasting away the night with tennis, monopoly, or food in good company

15. I like the smell of my sweat after good physical activity

16. I dislike people who don’t appreciate life’s worth

That’s all I can care to think about for now, doesn’t feel as satisfying as I imagined. Hmm. Maybe next time then.

This is going to be short.

So I can’t get over the fact that I did not have the balls to shave my head earlier in my life (say, in high school). My hair has been an issue to me for such a long time. The way it falls on my neck, the way I feel it in my eyes, the way I have to wait freakishly long for it to air dry- the list goes on. I don’t know if this is an issue for other people, but it has been bothering me to the point of insanity. I guess I was scared of what people might think of bald head, but now I believe that how I feel is more important than what others think. Oh, it feels great by the way, and I am not going to grow it out anytime soon. Sure, I’ve gotten stares and everything, but so be it. It’s so liberating and I can’t stop rubbing my head because that prickly sensation is really satisfying. It feels like I’m petting a friendly cactus.

Anyway, I’m not putting up a picture of my glorious Krillin head (boohoo) because I actually don’t have a camera, so I’ll put up something else instead:

I’m not even going to begin to try to make sense of why I’m putting that there. I guess I feel like I’m funny.

On a different note, I kept watching the ABC show What Would You Do? on Hulu this weekend and I ended up watching all the seasons available. The show is basically a hidden camera show that presents a tricky situation (racism, abuse, stigma, etc) and sees how the average person reacts to that. For instance, if you saw a store clerk refusing service to and calling a woman a terrorist just because she is Muslim, would you do something about it? Well, some of the other scenarios were stupid, but there were a lot that really struck a chord with me. I hear way too many people saying “don’t get involved” or “it’s not my business” or something of the sort when they see or hear something wrong. I have to admit that this has been my attitude at times, and I feel really guilty about being nonchalant toward things that really matter. Sure, the situation might be too dangerous or maybe I just don’t have the time, but looking the other way is really just me letting it continue- it’s basically like I’m encouraging it. People need to grow up and fight for what is right in the world instead of just letting “someone else do it”. Anyway, I was amazed (for good or bad) at some of the peoples’ reactions. Please, at least watch one of the clips to know what I’m talking about: http://www.hulu.com/what-would-you-do .

I lied about this being short, kind of. Hope you can forgive me.
