a little freestyle

Riff raff, the cats are back.
These cats are cool but they try to sack
and ruin and raze all that I've raised
all my parents have gave
all my soul has for today

they rip up and burrow
deep into my life
digging up all my matters
of flesh, heart, and vice
oh vice, and vice, like mice they just come
in a swarm of reverse thievery,
like donating some...

a big sum, but it's all none, nothing I want
they come to give me death in a bag
little by little, they drop it off by my door
and sometimes I accept, sometimes I refuse
but little by little those cats become huge

and now I'm here fighting, with nary a sword
nary a map, navigation's gone so I'm sore
my core is shaking but I know to stand tall
and defeat these demons now, hence later I fall

nontrivial & uninteresting 1-4

I have showered already before 10 PM so I can sleep earlier than usual today

It's incredibly useful, but Pengfei's bike has one flaw above all: bike seat makes your rear feel like both cheeks will be smooshed into one major unicheek

Rascal's cheeseburger special was pretty alright

I've been telling myself that I need to eat more

I bought a beautiful Venetian ceramic mask while in Venice for my orchestra's 2009 Europe trip that occurred these past two weeks. This morning at the airport I dropped the bag it was in.

Part of the top broke off.

After a Nap

I was waking from a nap and waiting for food to be set up at my grandpa's house for Father's Day yesterday when I thought of these:

"One negative aspect of having short legs is the outwardly downward slope of my thighs when sitting in a chair. I can't write on a clipboard in my lap because it slides down to my knees. Similarly I cannot keep things in my lap as is. i have to hold on to them with my hands or go the alternative route, which requires my heels to stay up for the duration of the activity.

I've heard about clothes that 'breathe.' Apparently the clothes are made of synthetic fibers that wick away sweat from the body to the outer surface of said clothes. I'd like to invest in a pair of underwear with this amazing technology. Too many times when sitting i've realized that my butt is sweating."

Pre-Summer

Before summer can rear its head (I love that idiom) I wondered how it'd be to set up a goals list for summer o' 09. I consider summer to officially begin after my high school graduation festivities, and such a designation would place summer's entrance on Thursday, 18 June 2009. In previous summers, I did a couple major things but never really kept a to-do on the more smaller chunks in life.

Samples from Summers Past:
MAJOR
Short-term summer missions
Trip to Europe
SAT Prep class
Student research
MINOR
not much... go swimming?

See what I mean?
So this year, in addition to the major things that I already have, such as that college book-reading assignment and going to Europe (more of southern and central Europe this time around!), I'll be keeping a "Summer's Resolutions" kinda deal. I typically tell myself that I won't start something until everything is in its perfect place. As a result I usually don't start that thing :(. To remedy such a character flaw I shall begin with an alpha of my Minor Summer List.

MINOR SUMMER LIST alpha 1
(in no particular order)
  1. Sleep
  2. Eat
  3. Learn
  4. Sustain
Alright. I admit my list's a bit on the general side. I expect to expand number 3 to encompass reading and learning pinyin, but as of now I'm not sure of which route to take. Shall I put down every little thing to create a monstrous list? Then that'll make for a pretty major minor list. How weird. Or else it stays pretty simple, and I like simple. I also like the complicated, if I can understand despite the complexity.

Man, trying to categorize everything is むずかしいです。 I want to include everything from daily plans of reading the Korean Bible and こどもバイブル to regular 'ol summer things such as completing a summer book list. I really want to try and keep this up because this sort of thing has been a part of my life until recently.

I have lists upon lists of goals I wish I completed. Many of those goals haven't even been touched in years. Kinda sad. A large portion of those lists came from when I was in middle school. This list-making frenzy continued into high school, but slowly the fire died. This past year, with my increased load of commitments, was a SeaWorld's Shamu's splash-zone worth of water to quench the twinkling flame that remained. Now the fire's back, ready to set my LIFE ON FIRE. Ow, third-degree burns. from bad metaphors.

This makes me think about the bigger goals I have in life. But I'm getting tired, *yawn*. Still gotta go to school tomorrow.

Graduation practice.
