Coincidence

I just finished watching United 93 again and then when i finished watching it i went to the computer room and the song "The color of love"was randomly playing on the computer, and this is the song that Boyz II Men released not too long after 9/11 and had a brief image of the light in place of the twin towers... mad coincidence.

I just dont understand how people can hate each other so much to kill each other...and i am not only talking about what happened on that day, but what happens everyday... i just dont understand how a person could intentionally put a knife, a bullet etc. into another person... seriously... it is so depressing sometimes when i turn the tv on to the news...

I was reading an article about a little girl who was named "Baby Grace" by the police while attempting to identify her and after properly identifying her, they found out that the 2 year old had been grabbed by the hair, thrown across a room, pushed underwater and belted, amongst other things. How can anyone...any mother do this to her own child... how can anyone do this to another human being?

I just dont understand people sometimes... sometimes i think that we are worse than animals, at least animals do it for survival reasons, we just do it because of pure evil.

It's just sick.

Aint it interesting?!

i think it is so interesting how people lose touch by as soon they are reminded by facebook or myspace that it is someones birthday or someone is engaged, people start writing you! It is as if people can't be bothered to drop in coz they want to but only at a moment when they know people wont be requiring a further conversational reply. I mean on my birthday i received over 20 facebook messages wishing me a happy birthday, half of them being from people i havent talked to in years, some even as long as over a decade! I know people move on and get new friends and it is hard to keep in touch with everyone but sometimes i feel like "thanks for thinking about me but do you really mean what you are saying or just being polite?"

Why is it weddings, birthdays, and funerals and sometimes new years the moments that people contact each other... is it our slack way of feeling like we have made an initiative to stay in touch with a long lost friend or in some cases a friend by association?!

I changed my status once on facebook from being single to engaged and people started writing to me, people who were from way back and people i didnt really talk to anymore...

why is that?

Sparkle Stick listening to Aimee Mann's "Two of us"

Two of us riding nowhere
Spending someone's hard earned pay
You and me Sunday driving
Not arriving on our way back home
We're on our way back home
We're on our way home
We're going home

Two of us sending postcards
Writing letters on my wall
You and me burning matches
Lifting latches on our way back home
We're on our way home
We're on our way home
We're going home

You and I have memories
Longer than the road
That stretches out ahead

Two of us wearing raincoats
Standing solo in the sun
You and me chasing paper
Getting nowhere on our way back home
We're on our way back home
We're on our way home
We're going home

You and I have memories
Longer than the road
That stretches out ahead

Two of us wearing raincoats
Standing solo in the sun
You and me chasing paper
Getting nowhere on our way back home
We're on our way back home
We're on our way home
We're going home
We're going home

So happy

Don't know what is happening to me but lately I have been so happy... not happy as in me usually being happy but REALLY happy... and for NO good reason at all... like absolutely nothing has been bringing me down... maybe it is because i have been running again and it is releasing all the stress, and I come home to a hot meal and watch tv and then have a laugh or two with my pops... and my mamasita when she calls... it is just great... no stress... not even my little annoying brother Anesu (Gwanti) can bring me down with his issues... it is great... I mean yesterday my older brother woke me up at 2am and kept calling 'til like 4am and despite having only 1.5 hours of sleep I still got up for him and not get cranky for him calling me up continously asking me for me to pay for his chinese food that he had ordered with my ex classmate from Russia, while in Kansas... hahaha... so random... I dont know I was too happy to talk to him to even care about a thing in the world... but he is still an idiot! HAHAHA! I think that also the thought of the family finally being ALL together for the 1st time since the end of 2004! Moms, Pops, The 3 Boys, Me, the whole shibang! I am so excited!

My life feels so full and no longer empty... I used to worry that the deep loneliness that I felt after breaking up with my man would last for ages... and it did... but eventually everything started to be ok... I no longer needed to be in someones arm to feel complete or not alone... and that was awesome... I could be alone with me and enjoy it... or what Katie called me being Anti Social... hahaha... it is the greatest feeling when you can be with you and not have a care in the world and not wish you were some where else or with some one else... I realized you can't be happy with someone if you are not happy with or within yourself...

I feel like I am finally at the point where im confident again and am enjoying my own company...

Its a great feeling!

Sparkle stick's song of the moment:

Justin Timberlake's : "(Another Song) All over again" (his last performed song at the JT concert)


You've been alone, you've been afraid
I've been a fool
In so many ways
but I would change my life
If you thought you, might try to love me
So please give me another chance
To write you another song
And take back those things I've done
Cause I'll give you my heart
If you would let me start all over,
Again

Been a while

It has been a while since my last post and things have been crazy these past couple of months have been crazy... I dont know I have been living my life, making mistakes along the way but still living my life and learning things along the way... It has been great and sad and lonely at moments trying to get over a relationship which i cant say im totally over to be honest. But i feel like we are both accepting that we are not meant to be together at this time... and after receiving a letter from him the other day I felt so HAPPY that he was doing good and living his life... We have been through lots of shit together and have been on an emotional roller coaster but im glad that friendship wise, we will be ok... his optimistic letter brightened my day even more because i still care for him and what is in the past is in the past and I dont see the point in letting past issues get the best of me now... I dont know right now as I am sitting on this computer i feel soooo happy... everything is falling into place and my relationship with my parents has NEVER been so GREAT! They know that when I have sorted myself out, I will take care of them the way they have taken care of me since my birth. I also think our relationship has been fantastic because these past few months I have been kicked in the face with how all the things they used to yell at me for was so true... I used to think they were just having aging issues but they were so right. And as I learned each lesson it made me love them even more and made me realize what great people they are. I used to also get annoyed at all the family secrets that unbeknownst to my parents i was uncovering... but i then I realized everyone has baggage and everyone has done things that they are not too proud of because we are not perfect and as long as we learn from our mistakes...eventually... or god helps you understand the error of your ways
then good for you... i realized their secrets were from then, and this is NOW so no need to hold on to them... They are great people now and that is all that matters to me... and on the friendship section i feel like i have made new friends and have had so much fun chilling with people and have caught up with old friends. I feel like things are looking up and i hope my last semester will help prepare me for the next chapter of my life... can't wait!
