Lust

Her name is Lust
Passion and urge ready to
Mingle and combust
When release is a must
The contours of her bust
Clouds the clarity of thought that once was
Into a primal necessity
Just because.

Instants

If I were able to live my life anew,
In the next I would try to commit more errors.
I would not try to be so perfect, I would relax more.
I would be more foolish than I've been,
In fact, I would take few things seriously.
I would be less hygienic.
I would run more risks,
take more vacations,
contemplate more sunsets,
climb more mountains, swim more rivers.
I would go to more places where I've never been,
I would eat more ice cream and fewer beans,
I would have more real problems and less imaginary ones.(Read More)

Busy Week

Last week was an extremely busy week, both for work and family life. A side note: thus far I've attempted to compose this entry 3 times. Each time, I was unable to press the apostrophe button for some stupid reason. Every time I tried to press ' it would bring up a word search.  Finally I had to switch out of firefox to IE in order to get it working.

So at work I had to make 33 binders. Why 33? I don't know. It just so happened that's how many binders I had at the office. I ordered 12 boxes of sheet protectors. That's 200 sheet protectors per box, over 2000 sheet protectors in total. Putting sheets of paper in protectors is hard work. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise. I think I pulled a muscle in my back doing it. So that's what I spent the whole week doing, the sales manager wanted it done before August, and I wanted it done because I was sick of doing it. I got it done ahead of time and everything was gravy.

My aunt+1 friend and 4 kids took a bus down to DC on Tuesday. My parents took a short vacation to DC Tues-Sat and drove my aunt and her 4 kids down to Charlotte. I must've worked a total of over 70 hours last week. Boy were my arms tired. And working one night, this little girl and her parents dined in at Cherry Blossom and she started crying for some reason. She didn't look well at all. Her parents told her to eat up. After they finished their dinner, standing outside my restaurant, the little girl threw up in front of our front door. It was ridiculous. Immediately after that, 5 customers came in, one after the other. It had been so slow the whole night, and of course as soon as little ms. chub chucks up some lomein, everyone all of a sudden craved chinese food.

This weekend Nelson came back as well. Sun and Han also came to Charlotte for some Halo 3 and free delicious Chinese Food. That's all we did this weekend. We'd planned to play tennis, but Halo was much more appealing as it required no physical exertion, although the mental exertion did take its toll on us. Sunday we went BBQing, and I was finally able to catch up on some much needed sleep in the afternoon. Nelson's girlfriend also challenged Han to an eating contest. I don't know what the hell that girl was thinking. She's going to lose out on 100 dollars. They will feast on raw oysters at an unspecified seafood buffet at some time in the near future.

I had more thoughts I wanted to share, but I'm tired. Perhaps tomorrow.

Every day is a good day.

At Cherry Blossom last night, one of my old cross country assistant coach's husband came in to pick up food. I asked the usual, "How are you today?" He looked at me, smiled, and with his charming British accent warmly said, "Every day-- is a good day." There was a slight pause after "every day". He absolutely meant it. I found myself thinking... Yes, every day is a good day. Why not?

Little Gidding

An excerpt from Eliot's No. 4 of the 4 Quartets, section V of Little Gidding


V.

...

With the drawing of this Love and the voice of this
     Calling

We shall not cease from exploration
And the end of all our exploring
Will be to arrive where we started
And know the place for the first time.
Through the unknown, unremembered gate
When the last of earth left to discover
Is that which was the beginning;
At the source of the longest river
The voice of the hidden waterfall
And the children in the apple-tree
Not known, because not looked for
But heard, half-heard, in the stillness
Between two waves of the sea.
Quick now, here, now, always—
A condition of complete simplicity
(Costing not less than everything)
And all shall be well and
All manner of thing shall be well
When the tongues of flame are in-folded
Into the crowned knot of fire
And the fire and the rose are one.

Dream

What a strange dream I had last night. Steve Buscemi was in it acting all weird as usual. I was in NY and he was a volunteer fireman giving instructions to some women who were burning stuff in their apartment. Not really instructions, but telling them not to do it. I would like to meet him one day.

Dreamed

I was a little girl alone in my little world who dreamed of a little home for me.


That was then... I am a little girl no longer. But I still dream of things.

Aprender a Aprender

Aprender a Aprender

Después de un tiempo, uno aprende la sutil diferencia
entre sostener una mano o encadenar un alma,
y uno aprende que el amor no significa recostarse,
y que una compañía no significa seguridad,
y uno empieza a aprender.

Que los besos no son contratos,
y los regalos no son promesas
y uno empieza a aceptar sus derrotas
con la cabeza alta y los ojos abiertos

Uno aprende a construir todo su camino en el hoy
porque el terreno de mañana es demasiado inseguro para planes,
y los futuros tienen una forma de caerse a la mitad.

Después de un tiempo uno aprende que “sí” es demasiado,
y hasta el calorcito del sol quema.
así que uno planta su propio jardín,
y decora su propia alma,
en lugar de esperar que alguien le traiga flores.

Y uno aprende que realmente puede aguantar
que uno realmente es fuerte,
que uno realmente vale,
y uno aprende y aprende…
y con cada adiós… uno aprende.

-Jorge Luis Borges


---(translation below)

Learn to learn

After some time, one learns the subtle difference
between holding a hand and chaining a soul,
one learns that love does not mean sleeping with someone,
and that company does not signify security,
and one begins to learn.

That kisses are not contracts,
and that presents are not promises
and one learns to accept their defeats
with head held high and open eyes.

One learns to make their own way in the now
because tomorrow’s terrain is too insecure for plans,
and the future has a way of falling apart in half.

After a time one learns that “yes” is too much,
and even the warmth from the sun burns.
so one plants their own garden,
and decorates their soul,
instead of waiting for someone to bring them flowers.

And one learns that they really can hold on
that one really is strong,
that one is really worth something,
and one learns and learns…
and with every goodbye… one learns.

-Jorge Luis Borges

Found the translation online...What a beautiful poem...

Exemplary Stool

"A bowel movement should be soft and easy to pass, though some people may have harder or softer stools than others. Stool should be brown or golden brown, be formed, have a texture similar to peanut butter, and have a size and shape similar to a sausage." -Accredited Scientists

By scientific definition, I pass exemplary stools. Although these scientists should clarify whether this peanut butter is of a crunchy or smooth texture.

greetings

"'It doesn't happen all at once,' said the Skin Horse. 'You become. It takes a long time. That's why it doesn't happen often to people who break easily, or have sharp edges, or who have to be carefully kept. Generally, by the time you are Real, most of your hair has been loved off, and your eyes drop out and you get loose in the joints and very shabby. But these things don't matter at all, because once you are Real you can't be ugly, except to people who don't understand.'
