Buddha said: "I consider the positions of kings and rulers as that of dust motes. I observe treasures of gold and gems as so many bricks and pebbles. I look upon the finest silken robes as tattered rags. I see myriad worlds of the universe as small seeds of fruit, and the greatest lake in India as a drop of oil on my foot. I perceive the teachings of the world to be the illusion of magicians. I discern the highest conception of emancipation as a golden brocade in a dream, and view the holy path of the illuminated ones as flowers appearing in one's eyes. I see meditation as a pillar of a mountain, Nirvana as a nightmare of daytime. I look upon the judgment of right and wrong as the serpentine dance of a dragon, and the rise and fall of beliefs as but traces left by the four seasons."

Starting off in 2009, I'm listening to the Juno soundtrack to a point of obsession.

I speak like a sailor. You'll just have to deal with that.
Who I'd like to meet: People that don't suck. I'm into meeting new people from all over the place, but you've gotta be real for me to appreciate your existance.
Generally, I can't stand people, especially "yuppies". The exception to this 'rule' are the people located directly below.
Those ones, I love dearly.
"You are very sweet. You're like the emotional equivalent of a Dr. Pepper." ~Tim in Vegas
"Love is that condition in which the happiness of another person is essential to your own."
--Robert Heinlein
I don't care if you even watch - you can turn on your TV and walk away for all I care. But we need ratings! The chapel I work at may in fact get a TV show. The pilot airs this Friday!
good luck with that. it's a nice place to live at first but after a while there's just too much shit. i lived there about 3 years until we moved up here by my mom to have more space, and my neighbors across the hall were totally drug dealers, people going in and out at all hours of the night and fighting in the halls, slamming doors. i couldn't stand it anymore. i dunno what it's like living in the 2-bedrooms though, it might be better.
myspace is the only way i keep up with alot of people anymore. i didn't know you were living in town, where at? i'm up in southside, actually 2 houses down from aaron lol.

I have an ultra sound next friday and a regular doctor appointment the following tuesday...i will be about 18 weeks so they should be able to tell the sex...I cant believe i am almost half way through! It is going so fast this time. I hope everything is going well....let me know whats good.

I realize I just said this via email... But I just felt the need to say it again. I LOVE YOU.
Also... I want to let you know that I think pregnant chicks are really sexy and if you need me to look at you naked at any point.. I am willing. I'm here for you. :)
