I'm enjoying my life a great deal right now. It feels really good to actually say it and mean it too.

Because of all the rain here in the Northwest these little guys(sprinklers) aren’t really as widespread as they were back in So cal. Needless to say I freaking love kicking them down when they fail to retract into their tubing. A light tap of the foot sends them sliding down at light speed accompanied by a “WHOOSH” which sends any bystander wondering what made the mysterious “WHOOSH”. I’ve loved doing that since I was a little kid :)

I'm 23 and I don't know how to drive. Upon learning this fact most people look at me with disbelief and say something like "REALLY!?" or "WHAT?!". The surprise is followed by a story of how they learned to drive at 14 or 15. I don't really understand why they are so shocked. I really honestly don't know how to and as I get older and older I kind of don't want to. Cars are increasingly becoming what I view in my mind a major nuisance. They are extremely loud in the morning and afternoon during rush hours. They kill small animals and human beings. They also happen to kill the planet earth along with peoples cardiovascular systems during a fit of road rage. It is a huge turn off when a guy I'm interested in picks me up for a date and amid friendly conversation SLAMS on the breaks and starts yelling and cursing at something as silly as a slow car or an elderly person crossing the road. Cars allow people to dehumanize anybody and use their fossil fuel empowered vehicle to do whatever they choose in any emotional state. I don't find that way of life very attractive and if I happened to own a car, it'd only be to look at because I find Bmw's and Vw's to be super cute. I don't foresee a license in the near future so in the meantime I'll gladly count my change and board my bus.

This entry is only an opinion of mine. I do not think about this 24/7 or hold this against folks who are friends of mine and do what I'm about to vent about.

Twitter. Okay. I get it. You like to post silly updates and infect people with inside jokes that begin with @ and end with someone else being totally confused. It's not my thing. Livejournal on the other hand is more stimulating to me. I've been writing in this thing since 2001 and I love the friends and entries I've cultivated over the years. But seriously can people stop linking their twitter to their damn livejournals? If I wanted to "follow" the @'s I'd subscribe to your twitter page. That is all.

Something completely fantastic happened to me this evening. Wanna know what? STAR TREK THE MOTHERFUCKING MOVIE! WOAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
--sorry--I'm a closeted Trekkie and this film has revived my inner cadet.

This movie is like the freshest and most expensive line of cocaine you'll ever snort up. The acting was flawless and the modern take on the classic story totally surprised me! Please please please go see this movie! It must be done justice and viewed on the big screen. There's too many beautiful shots that you need to see in GIGANTOR VISION! I'm definitely going to see it at IMAX next. Whew!

wooooo

HEEEEY

 

Sixteen clumsy and shy. I went to London and died.

After 7 years of my journal being mostly public I have decided to make it friends only. This was a hard choice as I see my livejournal as a tool to share stories and experiences with the world. Unfortunately the world doesn't always have something positive or fulfilling to share back. If you think you'd like to be apart of this journal and the many others that I enjoy reading every day, please do drop me a comment and I'll add you. Thanks for stopping by!
