[excerpt from “Finish to Starting Line”]
I often tell myself that, “I’m not good enough” for other people. I’ve convinced myself of that and have my reasons to justify that statement.
But I realized that it’s not that I’m not “good enough” for them, I’m just not “good enough” for me.

I Love You
I love you. Pure and simple. Not in a “hey, let’s get freaky” kind of way. Not even in a “I want to spend the rest of my life with you” kind of way, though I do want to do that, just not in matrimony. Don’t get me wrong, I’m certain you’ll be a great wife someday, just not mine. The love I...

[excerpt from “Politics and Perversion”]
On a perverted note, the other night I got a “really weird” phone call. Working the overnight shift, from what the others have warned me, I’m more susceptible to getting perverts on my line.
And so, it turns out that on this particular phone call, the guy started out by telling me that I “had a really beautiful voice” in a very soft tone. I...
May 3, 1999 (first online journal post!)
You know, I have this nasty habit of looking for something that’s not there. I think it all started my freshman year when I went out with Justin.
I used to come early to school—earlier than he. I always used to look for him—used to turn my head left and right to look down the halls hoping he’d be there. He would come. He’d come as soon as he got off the bus. Soon...

Recycled
Last weekend, I was trying to clean out an old desk of mine and came across print outs of entries from my first online journal (9 and half years ago), as well as many other handwritten old journals/diaries.
Since I haven’t had much to say lately, I’m going to post some.

Polaroid: R.I.P. in 14 Days →
Although, I’m pleased that Fuji’s Instax is now available in the US.
Rainy Days
I know I shouldn’t be saying this, as it only rains in San Diego so seldomly (conveniently and annoyingly, only when I’m about to get my car washed, or shortly thereafter. For those of you who don’t know, I almost never get my car washed, save for the complimentary one I get with my oil change. It’s like the San Diego rain dance, me washing my car). But, I have to say...
New Year's
If there is one holiday a year that holds more personal “significance” than others, I would have to say it would be New Year’s.
I just like the feeling of starting over or starting fresh. Yeah, I know I could “start” anything at anytime and I don’t necessarily have to wait until a certain date and time. But, it’s at this time of year that the general...

MIA
So I’ve been MIA lately partly because I promised (even though it wasn’t explicitly asked) that I wouldn’t reblog for the entire month of December (which is why I’ve been “liking” a whole lot). Believe me, it’s been very tempting and there are so many awesome things in my Tumblr Dashboard!
It’s not that I haven’t had a lot to say—or at...
To Do
It’s very odd to me the sudden rush and pressure I feel about what to do with my life.
I’m realizing that all of a sudden everything that I wanted to do this next year really should have been done a year ago. Now, I find this sudden rush to cram everything in such a short amount of time to make way for something new.
Everything just seems to be coming at me all at once, is all. ...

Blackwater Guards Indicted For Iraq Deaths →
“Starting Jan. 1, 2009, the Status of Forces Agreement with Iraq says U.S. citizens who are contractors in Iraq will be subject to the jurisdiction of Iraqi criminal courts and civil courts.”
Years too late for me. And for the families who lost their loved ones.
Better late than never?
I Need a Mental Snow Day
It may sound dorky, but I used to take my indoor cats out for walks. On a leash. Well, technically, Frankie was so big (not fat, per se, but thick), I had to buy him a medium-sized dog harness.
Anyway, it was almost futile—trying to take them out for walks. We tried to take them out for walks in the middle of the night, when no one was around. Most of the time, they would only go ten...

I Believe Our Children Are Our Future
In response to my post, my friend Shi told me that she seriously considered not having kids because she told me she didn’t want to bring her children into this kind of world.
While I can understand her concern, I told her, “I guess I view it differently.”
Yes, I think it’s a shitty world we’re living in, and I forsee things getting a bit worse over the next 20 years...
So, there!
So, this post is for Jer who thinks I reblog too much (there are just too many interesting and funny things on my Dashboard not to!). He doesn’t/didn’t really understand the concept of Tumblr. He said, “I don’t know what’s yours anymore.”
So, I told him I’d post one of my own entries just for his sake.
Here it is.
