Because without thoughts we would be Automatons

The most touching lyrics, obviously touching when accompanied by the music:

title: "Undo"
"Far away… our feelings lie far away
If we could only return to when the two were able to laugh with innocence
It was broken into pieces
It's like a work of glass
I am collecting the shards of my memories
You only realize what is important to you…
After you lose it
Please… please stop the time
Please carve your image into my chest
If… if it is allowed…
I can sacrifice everything
To see that smile again"


oh god, if childhood and its innocence could be back...

let it be innovative, responsible but fun!

So today, I will just post the lyrics of a song I liked for such a long long time. I heard it again 2 days ago. More than just memories, application of just everything maybe, or even thoughts of the present itself. A bit of "high density" sensations, if such could be its properties. These are the lyrics:

"Quien dice que no duelen las huellas en la arena,
tu huella el mar se la llevó,
pero la luna sigue allí
pero esa luna es mi condena

Despacio en la mañana, Ajitos por la noche
Las voces vivas del recuerdo se disfrazan de intuición
Y en una voz tu voz se esconde

Y en una voz tu voz se esconde Y yo se que tal vez
Tu nunca escuches mi canción, yo se
Y yo se que tal vez Te siga usando así
Robándote mi inspiración

Mientras siga viendo tu cara en la cara de la luna
Mientras siga escuchando tu voz
Entre las olas entre la espuma

Mientras tenga que cambiar la radio de estación
Porque cada canción me hable de ti, de ti, de ti
Me hable de ti"

The song is "caraluna" (face of the moon) by "Bacilos". I loved this song long ago and still like it now. Strangely enough, it never reminded me of any girl, though. I just like the lyrics. I may translate upon request :P

some are times and sometimes we time some others

Everything in its place. everything, they say. Nothing easier than say stuff. How hard it is to do it, but we must strive for excellence all the time.

Ah I dont want to work on JCPenny!!!! Ahhhhh!!!! oh well, stop complaining and look ahead, at least it ends in early august. Let me do my best to make it through. *was talking to himself*

anyways, here goes some disguised fiction:
The young boy, already 5 years old, gazed at his father as he was walking to board the airplane. His mother's tears were loud and her screams wavering disturbances of a loose heart. He was just a bystander. When the boy reached the end of the beholders platform, where individuals see their most precious souls go by, he was about to break into tears, those that mark life forever. However, at that instant, an older kid, about 10 years old, gently poked his back. "I have gone through the same. They come and go. It is not worth crying". The younger boy looked in shock. His embryonic tears vaporized. He had learned a lot about life in an instant.

life, oh life. Anyways, let me stop this sentimentalism. idk, sometimes is overpowering. At any rate, I am glad I am where I am in life right now...makes me smile at the prospect of the future.

about a thought-refreshing movie

I finished this movie on thursday and here is one of the reviews:
"Amanda, a divorced photographer, finds herself in a fantastic Alice-in-Wonderland experience when her daily, uninspired life literally begins to unravel, revealing the cellular, molecular and even quantum worlds which lie beneath. Guided by a Greek Chorus of leading scientists and mystics, she finds that if reality itself is not questionable, her notion of it certainly is. Stunning special effects plunge you into a world where quantum uncertainty is demonstrated - where Amanda's neurological processes, and perceptual shifts are engaged and lived - where everything is alive, and reality is changed by every thought. This film gives voice to the modern day radical souls of science, making them the true heroes of our day as they conquer and map the greatest uncharted territory yet - man's consciousness itself."

This is an attack on intellectual materialism. I believe there is something more to the mind than the brain indeed, but I disagree on all such extremism. I am a mind functionalist, which is the mainstream mind theory on the 21st century materialist view. I loved the video's message, which can be summarized in a quote: "if thought can do that to water, imagine what it can do to us". Oh, by the way, the movie is called "What the Bleep Do We know?"

First day at JcPenny and worked basically from 9am to 6pm. Yeah I told myself I should be in bed by 2am oh well. Bed, a bit late, but here I go! xD

1 unexpected one

So I decided to look around proverbs on a website that has approximately 100+ proverbs, some of which I may disagree with, but there are a few ones I think are THE thing to keep in mind at all times.
To summarize let me list the top 10 as I see the world:
1. Knowledge is Power
2. If at first you don’t succeed, try, try again
3. Actions speak louder than words
4. All’s fair in love and war
5. Carpe diem
6. Where there’s a will, there’s a way
7(/1). A place for everything and everything in its place
8. Laugh, and the world laughs with you; weep, and you weep alone
9. Eat, drink, and be merry, for tomorrow we die
10. *censored* (too many candidates xDDDD )

Now, the deceptively simple number 7. Ha. I should make it number 1. Just ponder about that for a while to understand its deep implications.

I must say I had to disagree with the implications(not necessarily the proverbs themselves) of the following ones:
1. East is East, and West is West, and never the twain shall meet
BS!: they do all the time
2. Frailty, thy name is woman!
BS!: women are no weaker than man (other than fit for physical fights maybe)
3. Finders keepers, losers weepers
BS!: I agree with the website: "this proverb is of dubious ethical merit"

ok...time to cut post, too long for those I usually write xD
last update: E&M reading 60/550

Time is a painful enzyme - deceptively fast but looking so slow

A biology metaphor xDDDD oh god damn bio 105 for majors, my lowest grade ever.

anyways, stuff following its pace I suppose.

Just accepted the job offer as a JcPenny cashier. They are supposed to call me in a few days while it is processed, I suppose Monday-ish.

Just read 15 pages of E&M and that puts me in 40 pages out of 550 xDDD.
Bah, I will try to read 15 pages tomorrow and the day after maybe O.o

WORLD CUP STARTED AND GUESS WHAT!!!? I slept through all the matches xDDDD
bah, there should be a world cup: vampires edition xDDD

On another note, whats the longest I have been without writing a post? Whoever wins, wins a cookie, "A small text file of information that certain Web sites attach to a user's hard drive while the user is browsing the Web site."

online puns roxors xD

just for the sake of it xD

Too many days without a post. I swear this thing is addictive xD

I dream that someday I will look at all my posts and reflect on my thoughts of yore.

4 things to keep in mind:

1.why is the question to ask at all times.
2.carpe diem is the key attitude to happiness but only the attitude.
3.what fails to kill you makes you stronger not stranger O.o
4.everything in excess slaughters success.

4 things in my mind:

1. cake and its implications
2. must get a summer job (aka must keep applying)
3. must read E&M book (only read 25 out of a goal of 550 pages)
4. must stop going to sleep late (late for a vampire is later than for you *sigh*)
5. to be random evacuates painful thoughts out of your mind: indeed.

Yipee!

So Looking back through the semester, I see I got a better gpa than last time. I also got my first A+ ever! wheee!!!!

Oh so happy not just because of that, but rather cause I had a social semester. I did lots of things that werent even planned. I am just so happy in general! I succeeded in my goal of dual improvement-GPA and social life. =D it is all possible!

Oh successful semester. Now off to an unsuccessful summer and hopefully a successful next semester. Counting the days already. And not counting how many days left but always how many days have passed. Ah, I miss Cornell (as of my life there, my friends, etc).

Bling Bling Bling

Still happy. Oh well, some news are bad but all good news always bring a smile out of you :)
