Freaking awesome dolphins. Shows not only a sense of play and art, but also mastery of a skill not necessary for survival. Dolphins are sweet :)

Moblog in the Hizog~
Current mood:  blah
Category: Blogging
Not sure why, but I've stumbled into the world of "Moblogging" - which just means an excuse to take pictures of crap throughout the day, postin' it live!
Not usre if it's gonna be entertaining, but it gave me a good excuse to drink after each final this week! And who couldn't use an excuse to drink after a test?
Updated a few times daily'ish so far'ish, and it's a weekend of parties, so who knows what'l show up, eh?
Eh?

Mo’ NaNoWriMo, Yo.
Current mood:  chipper
Category: Writing and Poetry
Word. November is NaNoWriMo month!
Not only am I trying to do this novel-in-a-month thing again, I somehow talked Ginger into doing it with me. She even thinks it's some super stupid thing, but deep down she knows what's up ;-) I'm even more stoked for it this year with her going crazy by my side.
Thought I'd give you guys a heads'up - just incase y'know, you wanted to give it a shot, and to spoil your plans for hanging out with us in November ;-)
It's super fun, if you have ever had Any thoughts of writing or were looking for some sort of creative outlet? Go here, and sign up:
www.nanowrimo.org
I'm freaking dealing with school, full-time work, marriage plans, and STILL going to try and tackle this thing. How cool does something have to be to put your self through that, right?
We may be crazy, but if you're my friend, then I know that you are, too :-p So stop pretending to be sane and come embrace your craziness like I know y'all can.

The Importance of People Going to Space
Current mood:  indescribable
Category: Religion and Philosophy
Quotes From: http://www.space.com/news/070421_astronauts_earthday.html
---- "It was the only color we could see in the universe. ... "We're living on a tiny little dust mote in left field on a rather insignificant galaxy. And basically this it for humans. It strikes me that it's a shame that we're squabbling over oil and borders.'' -- Bill Anders, Apollo 8, whose photos of Earth became famous. ---- "It's hard to appreciate the Earth when you're down right upon it because it's so huge. "It gives you in an instant, just at a position 240,000 miles away from it, (an idea of) how insignificant we are, how fragile we are, and how fortunate we are to have a body that will allow us to enjoy the sky and the trees and the water ... It's something that many people take for granted when they're born and they grow up within the environment. But they don't realize what they have. And I didn't till I left it.'' -- Jim Lovell, Apollo 8 and 13. ---- "The sheer beauty of it just brought tears to my eyes. "If people can see Earth from up here, see it without those borders, see it without any differences in race or religion, they would have a completely different perspective. Because when you see it from that angle, you cannot think of your home or your country. All you can see is one Earth....'' -- Anousheh Ansari, Iranian-American space tourist who flew last year to the International Space Station. ---- 'Up in space when you see a sunset or sunrise, the light is coming to you from the sun through that little shell of the Earth's atmosphere and back out to the spacecraft you're in. The atmosphere acts like a prism. So for a short period of time you see not only the reds, oranges and yellows, the luminous quality like you see on Earth, but you see the whole spectrum red-orange-yellow-blue-green-indigo-violet. "You come back impressed, once you've been up there, with how thin our little atmosphere is that supports all life here on Earth. So if we foul it up, there's no coming back from something like that.'' -- John Glenn, first American to orbit the Earth (1962) and former U.S. senator. ---- "I think you can't go to space and not be changed, in many ways .... "All of the teachings of the Bible that talk about the creator and his creation take on new meaning when you can view the details of the Earth from that perspective. So it didn't change my faith per se, the content of it, but it just enhanced it, it made it even more real.'' -- Jeff Williams, spent six months on the space station and set a record for most Earth photos taken. ---- "Earth has gone through great transitions and volcanic impacts and all sorts of traumatic things. But it has survived ... I'm not referring to human conflicts. I'm referring to the physical appearance of the Earth at a great distance. That it generally is mostly very peaceful (when) looked at from a distance.'' -- Buzz Aldrin, second man to walk on the moon. ---- "I see the deep black of space and this just brilliantly gorgeous blue and white arc of the earth and totally unconsciously, not at all able to help myself, I said, 'Wow, look at that.''' -- Kathy Sullivan, first American woman to spacewalk, recalling what she said when she saw Earth in 1984. ---- "...From up there, it looks finite and it looks fragile and it really looks like just a tiny little place on which we live in a vast expanse of space. It gave me the feeling of really wanting us all to take care of the Earth. I got more of a sense of Earth as home, a place where we live. And of course you want to take care of your home. You want it clean. You want it safe.'' -- Winston Scott, two-time shuttle astronaut who wrote a book, "Reflections From Earth Orbit.'' ---- "You change because you see your life differently than when you live on the surface everyday. ... We are so involved in our own little lives and our own little concerns and problems. I don't think the average person realizes the global environment that we really live in. I certainly am more aware of how fragile our Earth is, and, frankly, I think that I care more about our Earth because of the experiences I've had traveling in space.'' -- Eileen Collins, first female space shuttle commander. ---- "You can see what a small little atmosphere is protecting us. "You realize there's not much protecting this planet particularly when you see the view from the side. That's something I'd like to share with everybody so people would realize we need to protect it.'' -- Sunita Williams, who has been living on the International Space Station since Dec. 11, 2006. ---- "I left Earth three times. I found no place else to go. Please take care of Spaceship Earth.'' -- Wally Schirra, who flew around Earth on Mercury, Gemini and Apollo missions in the 1960s.

Job Decisions...
Current mood:  contemplative
Category: Jobs, Work, Careers
Interesting decision to make this week: Should I accept a cool full-time job and try to go to school through night classes, or do I take a ho-hum summer job just to save up enough money to dedicate my time to school next semester?
This mobile phone PoRn company is looking for a web developer! www.brickhousemobile.com and I think I could really help them out. I gotta let them know by Friday if I'd like to take the position or not...Full time during school, but working for a freaking Porn company!
My old company's looking for osmebody to fill in a help desk position for the months over summer; it'd be alright, be over in august, but wouldn't be a porn company.
So what to do? Ginger'd be happier if i had a job while going to school instead of worrying about money, but as far as careers go school is my #1 priority and it'd be nice to keep dedicating my time to that (i've got a 4.0!).
So I dunno, i dunno... Porn and stability, or ho-hum and a bit of worry?
Oy!

Naw...Not Hostile At All (China)
Current mood: Shrug
Category: Shrug News and Politics
http://www.space.com/news/070124_china_asat_spacearms.html
The Chinese government confirmed Jan. 23 that it had sent a missile to destroy one of its own satellites but insisted the test should not be viewed as a hostile act.
In a press briefing in Beijing, Liu Jianchao, spokesman for the Chinese Foreign Ministry, reiterated that China "has never participated and will never participate in any arms race in outer space," Liu said, according to excerpts of his remarks provided by China's Xinhua News Agency. "This test was not directed at any country and does not pose a threat to any country."
Liu also said China had informed the United States and Japan of the anti-satellite test after the fact.
U.S. State Department spokesman Sean McCormack said Jan 22 that the Chinese Foreign Ministry had discussed the anti-satellite test in Beijing with Christopher R. Hill, assistant State Department secretary for East Asian and Pacific affairs, who is on a previously scheduled trip in East Asia.
But McCormack said the Chinese have yet to fully explain their intentions in performing the maneuver, which U.S. officials say occurred Jan. 11, when China destroyed a retired weather satellite, which was in its operating orbit about 537 miles (865 kilometers) in altitude, with a ground-launched missile.

Buhrrrrr-rrrrrrr-birurrrr...
Current mood: indescribable
That's how I spell the sound made by shifting gears - High gear, that be.
This novel thing's tougher than you'd think! Er...well...maybe just as tough as you'd think, cause like...everyone seems to think it's a little crazier than I thought, and...well, what do you want? Want to hear that you're right? That you were right all along?? HUH? would that make you happy??!?
Well nyaaa to you, i'm rockin' the wrimo, and this week is catch-up week. School's appropriately juggled and i just got back from bagua camp, so now I can seriously focus my chi, convert it to jin, and whip out some shit.
I'm almost half way done with the wrimo, got a few full days to work on it, then a few more days...No problem-o. Little more red than green on my progressometer, but no worries; just makes it a little more festive.
Thanks for the feedback on those following along! I think my story's horrible, and apparently they say that's a good sign too, so...shrug.
Anyway, new chapters headin' up this week:

Doin' the WriMo
Category: Writing and Poetry
Well, started off on NaNoWriMo, got 3700 words so far. Kinda stalling lately, though, but hopefully it'll only turn out 80% campy at the Most, and have maybe 10% lame, and the leftover 10% will be a'ight.
UPDATE: I dunno where I'm gonna host it, but instead of the link that was here a bit ago, I'm playing with publishing it here:
http://docs.google.com/View?docid=d4c8g94_2ccvvg3
It's actually a link to the live version of the document - Who knows, maybe be able to hit refresh and see all the ramblings get rewritten, edited, and added to And, uh...that's it :) i'll let'cha know if i think of anywhere bett'a.
UPDATE UPDATE:
Playing around with a blogging site... This might not actually be too bad, broken into chapters and stuff:
http://i-the-novel.blogspot.com It supports comments!

NaNoWriMo!!! - Who's With Me?
Current mood: chipper
Category: Writing and Poetry
Dude, it's NaNoWriMo time coming up really soon!! Who's gonna Wri a No with me during the Mo??
www.nanowrimo.org
Oh? It's National Novel Writing Month, is what it is, and it happens in November.
The Challenge: Write a 50,000 word novel in one month flat - can ya dig it??
Some'a you might remember the thing I did a few years ago, where I wrote this whole long thing in this weird unintelligible secret hick-code...I'm hoping for something a little more readable this year.
So are you up for it? Don't matter if you don't think you know how to write! Especially doesn't matter if you don't think you'd write anything "good" - It's SUPPOSED to be bad! Supposed to be horrible, supposed to be the craziest (and most constructive?) reason you've ever chained yourself to a computer for! It's all about the Excuse to force y'selves to accomplish something. Mmmm...accomplishment.
What are the hardest parts of writing? Starting and finishing. The philosophy of NaNoWriMo is to force your self to pound out some crazy non-sensical story with as little thought as possible! Write write write! Then? Afterwards? Well, then you have a nice skeleton of a story - alll the hard parts done. Then you have the rest of the time to play around with it all you want, if you think there's something worth playing around with, at least. Most of all, it's FUN. Well...kinda. If it's fun to go crazy...but I know most of my friends like to be crazy...don'cha!
So everybody - GO SIGN UP at:
www.nanowrimo.org
And lets be stupid, chaining ourselves to our computers and writing out some wacky shit. Lot more constructive than surfing MySpace..ain't it?
Who's with me!!!
