The Time Is Always Now...

Messed up sleep schedules...must...regulate...for...exam studying...bah well, that can come later...

I've really missed being home this year...MUCH moreso than any other year I've been here...I've gone out significantly less, but that's not totally it...

I wouldn't say I'm homesick though...I don't have that strong desire to specifically be Home...I just don't so much wanna be here...things are just so much easier at home...and despite how much I love it here at school, I want that get away place...

Which is odd...considering the fact that for the past 3 years, this school which I've come to love has been that place of escape...even at my saddest and most troubled times, I would have prefered to be here than home...

That whole concept of home...I don't know if I quite get it yet? I don't think I've ever truly felt homesick...why is it that some people have that desire to constantly be on the move? I don't think it always has to do with maturity...some people just feel the need to constantly broaden their horizons...and there's nothing wrong with that...I don't so much think of it as never being able to find a home...but being able to adapt and feel comfortable in many homes...

And that ability to feel home anywhere is important...crazy twists are going to be thrown our ways in the coming years...ones that will more than likely separate us from not only those we care about, but also the known and the familiar...and in being so, this adaptability will probably come in handy...so I don't know...I guess this little home away from home is starting to feel a little less than homely...

But it's still as fun and carefree as it ever was...

wheeeeeeeeeee

PS, read the lyric...hahahaha

B...B...B...BBBBAAACCCCKKKK!!

I've become a monthly blogger! the most dreaded of bloggers who've crept slowly away from the daily writings and banterings to the general public...but enough about my lack of entries, you don't wanna hear about that...explaining myself is soooo done...so it's time to stop apologizing, and time to start abusing the fact that you'll read every damned word I type...

To what extent is someone shallow? I mean, c'mon...you've got to recognize that some people are just physically unattractive...and to deny that fact is simply stupid...you can't simply accept everyone as being the same, cuz they're not...I don't understand what's wrong with identifying the ugly people as ugly??

Now, I'm not saying I'm the dead sexiest...I've got my flaws...everyone has theirs...but is it so bad to say that some people are more physically flawed than others?? Don't think I'm making such judgments in a demeaning fashion...

Don't get me wrong, everyone is beautiful in their own way...yadda yadda yadda...but that doesn't mean everyone is physically beautiful...you get what I'm saying? you shouldn't discount people as important or whatnot if they're not physically attractive, nor should you think they're at some form of a handicap...people just are the way they are...and whether they accept themselves or not, doesn't change the fact that they look the way they do...

All I'm saying, is that regardless of what people look on the inside, it's still covered by an outside...one has nothing to do with the other...to some extent, people are aware of how attractive they are...and they don't want to be looked down upon, but they certainly don't want to be the next model of perfection...

People rarely want to be made to believe something they themselves don't hold to be true...you can't lie to someone if they're not willing to be lied to...

Hmm...I can think of at least 3 people who are going to yell at me for this post...

Bah well...at least I'll have stirred the proverbial shit...

The Prodigal Son Returns...

Wow...it's been 2 1/2 weeks since I've written...I feel bad that I'm neglecting this whole writing business...that I haven't been putting anything down, cuz life is oh SO exciting right now...

I lie, I've done nothing...cept study! yeah!!

So, things are a changin...not with me, per se...but in general...

I don't get this whole "I'm getting old" feeling very often, I guess it moreso comes when something big is going down...I don't think I've really felt this nervous and excited since I came to university...but so much is going to be happening in the next year, and it's a bit overwhelming...it's just so much to wrap your head around...

People are really moving on with their lives, literally...Hildrey's coming to London? I'm hopefully going to Japan? Joel's moving out to BC?

Others are going into graduate school...some are going to be entering the work force...just so much is going on, and it's just such an exciting time...

Work needs to be done...
Plans should be checked...
Decisions have to be made...
Hello's lie in wait around corners...
Goodbye's are on the tips of our tongues...

So while it's amazing that so much is going on...it's all accompanied by a hint of sadness...and shock...I mean, these were the years we were meant to grow...arguably, these are the people we're going to be for the rest of our lives barring any major happenings...we've changed and developed into so much more in the past few years...we've established our lives and the identities we hold...

So the question is, do you press forth and try to keep changing yourself or do you get comfortable with the idea that this is you? We're apparently supposed to have a relatively stable personality between now and until we're about 60ish (I'm good at personality psych)...so, I guess it's time to start thinking about who you are...and if you can look in the mirror and finally begin to see who you've become...

This whole life thing, it's kinda funny, huh?

- Lyric of the Moment -

Updated (06|14|05)

"There's a moment in my mind,
I scribbled and erased a thousand times,
Like a letter never written or sent,
These conversations with the dead,
I used to be a sentimental guy,
Now I'm haunted by the left unsaid."

Ben Folds - Sentimental Guy
