I see dead people Well, I didn't actually see them, but I'm sure they were there. I was driving back home from D&B about 20 mintues ago, and then there's a traffic jam. I'm thinking I hope it's not a roadblock, and they're stopping all the people that were drinking. A few seconds later, I look in my reaerview, and see a red&blue zoom by. A few seconds later, another one flys by. I see cars ahead of me switching lanes, and I realize it's cuz there's a pickup in our lane with his hazards on, and a few feet away, what was left of his bumper. so I change lanes, and drive past. There's broken glass strewn across five lanes of traffic. Up ahead I see the remains of what used to be a car. It's flipped completely upside down, and the hood is crushed all the way down to the door. It was like god just decided to take the car in his hand and crush it like a used dixie cup. Right next to it is a big white tarp, covering about 2 lanes.

Under this tarp, I'm guessing, are the remains of the driver and passengers of the vehicle. In a ditch nearby is another car, with serious damage to its side door panel. I pass by an ambulance with it's rear doors open, but I don't see anyone inside.

I think I missed the accident by about 5 minutes. Had I left 5 minutes earlier, it could have happened to me. In the movie final destination, the theme is that they cheated fate, and now fate is catching up to them. Perhaps fate is telling me to savor life, cuz I could have been part of the crash. I have forgotten that I should treat everyday as my last day. Make the most of what I have, so that if I die tomorrow, I can't say "There were some things I wish I could have done, but I wasted the chance." What is important in life? School? Friends? Family? A job? Spiritual peace? Helping others? Not having regret?

I feel when I find out, I can be truly happy.

Holy shit. I've always wondered about this and wasted many hours arguing otherwise.

Calling soda a "pop" really is a midwest thing.

It's scientifically proven.

And some more things you've always wondered about....

This happens almost every night.

At around two in the morning, I'm sitting at my desk, trying to study, with some trance music playing quietly in the background. I hear a door open outside in the hallway. Then I hear the bathroom door directly across from my room close. The toilet flushes. The faucet runs. The bathroom door opens again, and the other door closes. The same scenario is repeated, without fail, a few minutes later.

Now that could be one of two things :

1. My cousin, who sleeps in the next room, wakes up each night to go to the bathroom. He is known to have a small bladder, so this would keep him from wetting the bed at night. His girlfriend, who also sleeps in the next room at least 3 nights a week, is woken up by him moving around and getting out of bed. After relieving himself, she then follows suite, because since she's already awake, she might as well go too.
Or.......

2. They just had sex.


Gross me out.

Gross you out.

From different perspectives I either have the coolest or the lamest dvd collection ever. Popular opinion will probably support the latter, but since I live in my own little world ( where peer pressure's not a bitch), I'd rather buy stuff you usually can't rent at blockbuster.

i spent $40 today purchasing :

- ringu - this is the japanese version of the ring, supposedly scarier than the version that was released in the theatres in the states. i hope so.

- american street dance championships 1 - "this is the most exciting and professional street dance competition in the world. the dancers are brilliantly inspiring. the american street dance championship is not just an event, it's a movement" - ben higa, freelance writer, xxl and rap pages. looks like a bunch of breakers strutting their stuff. should be good. i useta have another breaking video, but i lent it to someone, and he left the state. never again......my precious....

- bruce lee , jeet kune do - it says on the back that it's the first and only training film on jeet kune do ever created by bruce lee himself. could be really cool. could be just a bunch of crap pieced together to make some money. who knows. that's the beauty of buying stuff like this i guess.

other mentionables include -

- the freshest kids - history of the b-boy
- mischief 3000
- dogtown and the z-boys
- happy tree friends volume 1 : first blood
- killer klowns from outer space
- reefer madness

I think buying media is just a great big waste of money. I guess it's a status thing. having a well stocked media center is the modern day equivalent of having a room, called a study, will shelves that house back-to-back books covering every wall of the room. like that shelf area from my fair lady, or any other movie from that era.

paint me status-ized.
