tumbling.

2011-03-06T17:49:00.002-05:00

Here is my tubmlr.I've been doing a lot more tumbling. That's really the place you'd want to go if you wanted to hear about my life, or about random stuff I care about. It occasionally gets kinda political, but I try to break it up.One thing that I've done is to create hashtag serieses, where I try to make a bunch of posts about random topics. Here are the ones I've done so far:#guitarsiwant -

If you could look into the future, how far ahead would you want to see, and why?

2011-02-15T16:43:00.001-05:00

I wouldn't want to. Ask me questions.

dream jobs...

2011-01-31T10:31:00.002-05:00

In case you haven't noticed, I don't really have any idea what I want to do with my life right now. I don't know what I want to do college-wise, major-wise, or job-wise.So, to relieve some of the stress, I decided it would be fun to start coming up with "dream jobs" - fantasy ideas that would be really fun, but are, for various reasons, completely impractical.Since I'd like to embed photos/videos

If you remember, a while ago I wrote a poem.You can read it here:http://rabidcentipede.blogspot.com/2009/05/poem-currently-untitled.htmlAnyway, I recently used wordle, this cool internet thingee, to make a picture out of the words from the poem.Look at it:---...it wears you out...

Would you rather be rich or famous?

I thought I knew what I wanted to do, but I guess I don't.I'm on a leave of absence from Carnegie Mellon right now, and am planning to switch schools for next fall. Oh, and I'll be switching majors too. I don't think I want to major in computer science anymore. I don't really know what I want to do instead. Maybe philosophy? Psychology? Religious studies? Sociology? Probably something like that.

2010-02-15T14:35:00.001-05:00

I can hear his footsteps squelching softly in the mud. It must be Friday. Greg comes by every Friday, before work. I guess these visits help him.I can see him now, enveloped in the fog. He’s bringing flowers, again. I wish he knew that they really aren’t necessary; all that matters is that he still comes by. He’s already done more than enough. Does he think I still blame him?He’s wearing a thick

I stared out at the moonlight bouncing off the choppy water. The small waves distorted the reflection, ripping and tearing it into millions of shimmering pieces. I blinked once, and then twice, trying to hold back my tears. I couldn’t let him see me cry. I couldn’t seem weak, or needy. I leaned up against the wooden railing, sticking my face out into the breeze. The cool wind felt nice

He could see shapes in the trees. Patterns in the wind-blown leaves. The moonlight flickering between the branches danced on the ground, shifting like a kaleidoscope as he walked. Shadows tugged at the edges of his vision, trying to steal his attention. Every bush, every tree looked like someone hiding, waiting, watching. But there wasn’t anybody else out here. There couldn’t be. David had been

surrounded by the lounging crowd,in formal dress and fancy suits,I sit awkwardly on a couch,as unfamiliar faces loom."enough!" I cry inside my head,as relatives unknown discussthe newly married bride and groom."I'll have no more of this", I think,and wander off to find a spaceaway from all this wretched noise.I come upon the snack table -a veritable feast of food.more types of cheese did reside

You walk away, and a few minutes later are still trying to figure out what obscure 80's band it was talking about.

Things have been going too fast lately.===I'm actually enjoying school now. I mean, I did before, but... I don't know, it's different now. I love basically all of my classes (except for English, but eh, that's okay). I have more friends than I ever have before (even though only like four of them are actually in my grade, haha). And I feel like things will only get better from here. There's some

2009-08-20T20:42:00.002-04:00

School has started, yay. A bit of confusion caused the year to get off to a rough start, but things are better now. Well... as good as they will get, I guess. Most of my classes range from ok to good. I seem to have a relatively good number of friends. However. Our lunch group seems to be fracturing, and our band is in need of some serious help. Meh, whatever.***One of my favorite classes so far

Hmm. It's the last day of summer. This is both good and bad. I wish summer had been a bit longer. Well, parts of it. Not other parts. Oh well. The ending hasn't been as good as I had hoped, but whatever. School brings things to look forwards(british spelling) to.

two songs/listen to them

2009-08-10T10:28:00.002-04:00

These two songs are most excellent, and I've recently had them stuck in my head.First, Handlebars by Flobots. The music video is here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AuK2A1ZqoWsI like the way the lyrics and the music video work together to tell a message. Neither of them would be as effective without the other, in my opinion. I think the moral is interesting - as individuals, we have incredible

Hey, Cannon peoples - how long are your responses to the "Who Moved My Cheese" questions? I figured I should finally get around to doing my summer work, haha. Oh, and while I'm randomly questioning you - for rising seniors: how long are your response(s) to the common app essay?---I see what you are doing. And don't worry, I will get you. You can run, you can hide, but it won't last. Not for long.

So, yeah. I haven't written a blog entry in a while. But I have an excuse! Sorta. I was away all of last week at a camp, and then for the past few days at a family reunion. The camp was fun, but the reunion only served to remind me of how extremely southern most of my dad's family is. At least I got to hang out with my cousins Louis and Sam, ages 7 and 4, who provided constant entertainment. I

Ha, so much for being productive this summer. My sister and I got The Sims 3, which has been wo(nd)e(r)fully addicting, and has basically taken up the past few days of my life. Aside from its habit of randomly crashing every now and then, it's a pretty good game. As expected, if you liked The Sims 2, you'll like this one.In other news, YAYYY! Over the past week or two, I'd been working on

yay. so. It's summer.There's a whole bunch of stuff I've been wanting to do for a while now, and I figured summer would be a good time to try to get them all done. I mean, I don't have school anymore, so it should all just be free time, right? Well, somehow, I can never get around to finishing anything. Ah well. Hopefully my work ethic will return soon.My sister recently got me re-addicted to The

I figure I should write again. Hmm.... haha, well, I'm sorry my life isn't as angst- and drama-filled as some of the other bloggers out there (just kidding guys, you know I love reading your blogs). But anyway, I guess it's my turn to indulge in some random ranting.Sooo... it's almost the end of the school year. Usually, I'd be looking forward to this. However... this year feels different. I've

Okay, so anyone who showed up to the last symposium got to hear our band play an original song, A Flat B Flat. For a long time, it didn't have any lyrics (hence the name, which just describes the two main chords). However, I really liked this song, and decided it needed lyrics, and wrote them.Here they are:(piano intro)(small drum roll)(a)Driving down the interstate at (b) 60 miles per hour(a)The

I’m an analytical person. I like to understand things, to be able to see how and why they work. Because of this, I want to understand life.

Fear and Uncertainty are crippling emotions.There are things that I should do, want to do, or need to do, and yet... I don't. Why? I'm afraid.What am I afraid of?It depends on the situation. But most of the time, I am afraid of failure. I afraid of failing publicly, and being embarrassed or humiliated in front of an untold number of people. I am afraid of failing privately, and having to live

Silence, pt. 2

2009-04-17T06:09:00.003-04:00

It is interesting to observe how people deal with silence. I don't really mean while they are alone - I mean being in a group of people when it suddenly falls quiet.Some people can't stand it, and feel terribly awkward during any long pause. They search frantically for something to say, and won't be comfortable again until the conversation gets going. These people need to talk, they need the

Now, let me explain something. I do not sing. Nope. Never. Singing is

2009-04-13T00:16:00.002-04:00

So yeah... Amazon is actually a pretty bad company.A little while ago, they started removing books that they thought had "adult" content from their listings and bestseller lists. However, they did not remove all books with "adult" content... mainly just books relating to LGBT issues, even if there was hardly any other "adult" content involved.Do you know what this is? Censorship.And even worse...
