Valentine's Day

Ok so that doesn't have much to do with Valentine's Day, but I felt like taking it and posting it. :-P There'll be a lot more quizzes being posted on this thing...anyways, onto my Valentine's Day post:

So the one day of the year that's dedicated to that thing we call love. Sure it can be the more general type of love: the love we have for friends, the love we have for family; but our society really makes it out to be the day to celebrate the love with a significant other. Generally I can't stand Valentine's Day (it's also normally on a school day); however I decided today that I need to change how I look at not only Valentine's Day, but how I view love in general. hmmm ....

I realized today that I've been complaining a lot lately about various things due to my overall shitty moods; those moods were especially foul this week. Though I've had the "love" topic on my mind for a while because I think I've also realized that I'm feeling the beginning of love. I mean I've never actually been in love with anyone before this .... they've all been just regular crushes .... but I think this is what it's supposed to be like .... at least in the beginning. It's the kind of thing where you feel like nothing could ever go wrong when you're around that person; you feel a kind of .... euphoria when you're around them. I'm not gonna go into anymore detail, but that's just scratching the surface of the stuff that's been churning inside of me. I think that the idea that I can't celebrate the one day of the year with this person is a little depressing. Normally the idea of not having anyone is depressing in itself; but it's a little different this year, as I explained.

But you know ..... it's really not that bad. I'm feeling fairly good today (amazingly enough), and I've sorta made a mental commitment to try and act a bit more positive about everything I am, everything I have, and everything I do. Negitive attitudes never get you anywhere in life, and that's something I need to stop ... pronto.

And one other thing ... as much as I hate it that I've gone 18 years without any sort of romance, I know that it'll come to me one of these days. Hopfully soon rather than later, but it'll get here. All I need to do is wait; patience is a virtue.

Happy Valentine's Day Everyone

You Learn Something New Every Day



You're Sudan!

Every time you get a headache, you reach for some aspirin, only to
realize that someone destroyed it.  That's just how things are going for you right
now... it's hard to eat, hard to sleep, hard to not have a headache.  You try to
relax, but people always jump on you about something that doesn't make sense.  If
you were a goat, you'd be a Nubian.

You're The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy!

by Douglas Adams

Considered by many to be one of the funniest people around, you are
quite an entertainer. You've also traveled to the far reaches of what you deem possible,
often confused and unsure of yourself. Life continues to jostle you around like a marble,
but it's shown you so much of the world that you don't care. Wacky adventures continue to
lie ahead.Your favorite number is 42.

First Post

Ok ... this really isn't my first post. It's my third; however the first post was just a test to see how things were working, and the second post was absolute shit so I deleted it. hmmm ... well I guess maybe I should say why I switched to this thing instead of keeping with my Xanga:

ok well originally I had a livejournal. I started getting pissed off with all the bullshit annonymous posters there, so I just abandoned that account. Then I switched to the xanga, which I still like, however the blogger gives me a bit more freedom. The actual "blogger" site is really only a server from which this journal is hosted. I mean it's a free service, so they're still basically in charge; though I have pretty much free reign over the way I set this thing up. There's something called a "templete" that contains the code that makes up what you see here. I still don't understand the vast majority of it ... I mean it's not like I could code my own tempete; however I can edit the templete I chose from the site. Things such as chaning the color of the site, the header and little description. I can add a way for ANYONE (not just those registered with blogger) to comment on my posts, and I can even add in a tagboard. Another thing I can do is put in multiple colors in my posts, though I'm still not quite sure how to do it yet. I need to go look up the color names (fancy ones) and the code for them. It's all really ultra spiffy. :-D

To end this first (aka 3rd) post, here's a song by none other than Marvin Gaye:

M:
If I could build my whole world around you, darlin'
First I'd put heaven by your side
Pretty flowers would grow wherever you walk, honey
And over your head would be the bluest sky
And I'd take every drop of rain
And wash all your troubles away
I'd have the whole world built around you
And that would be all right, oh yes it would

T:
If I could build my whole world around you
I'd make your eyes the morning sun
I'd put so much love where there is sorrow
I'd put joy where there's never been love
And I'd give my love to you
To keep for the rest of your life
And happiness would surely be ours
And that would be all right, oh yes it would

BOTH: Doo doo doo doo...

M:
Oh, if I could build my whole world around you
I'd give you the greatest gift any woman could possess

T:
And I'd step into this world you've created
And give you true love and tenderness
And there'd be something new with every tomorrow
To make this world better as days go by


M: If I could build my whole world around you
T: If I could build my whole world around you
BOTH: Then that would be all right, oh yeah
