i usually try to avoid writing about any personal malaise. kind of odd since this is my personal weblog… what else should i write about, right? but it seems that venting my frustrations in such a limited public forum is actually more harmful to people around me than helpful to me. i guess that’s because i always try to remain cheerful and optimistic in front of most people, and i try to extend that onto my web persona.

but i just can’t seem to shake this odd feeling as of the past few weeks. maybe it’s because i’m graduating soon? future anxiety? present anxiety? finals anxiety? i don’t know. but there’s been lots of sleepless nights, and it’s not been because of the late-night caffeine.

regardless, as the weather stays pleasant, i’m sure my disposition will change accordingly, as it usually does. but this time, i don’t think sunny days are enough. ok enough depression. it’s not as bad as it sounds, i promise. i don’t even know what’s making me write this right now.

totally switching gears…
sometimes i like turning on the music so loud that you not only hear the music, you literally feel the music. the thumping bassline driving deep into your soul. hearing by feeling. i love it.

off to enjoy the sun since classes are ending left and right.

“there is no such thing as coincidence”

the more i think about this statement, the more i’m inclined to agree with it. based on personal experiences over the past few months, certain events that i would have previously deemed coincidental are in actuality events for which the seeds have been planted earlier.. so is it coincidence that i or someone else unknowingly planned or arranged a certain event that either directly or indirectly led to the so-called ‘coincident’?

we have created the situation the way we felt we should create it. is the end result really that surprising?

all of this thinking has started to muddle my brain. coincidence? i think not.

EDIT 6:53p: perhaps coincidences are abundant around us.. some things are just too strange. again, personal experience. odd. my argument loses validity.

moving on to the greatest-picture-ever category…

spring weekend!

updated my moblog images so they don’t look as pixelated when you click on them.

tonight went to good ol salomon 101 and listened to chris berman ‘77 and special guest bill belichick!!

chris berman was great and had lots to say; belichick was, well, like belichick: quite reserved. nonetheless, it was awesome seeing the coach of the winner of two of the past three super bowls. i especially loved the question from the football player…

enough with this crap weather. it’s time for sun.

i’m so glad it’s time for the nba playoffs. that means i will be getting no work done until the lakers win the championship.

first game is on saturday. come over if you want to laugh at stevie francis, cuttino mobley, and jeff van gundy.
