Self improvement

I want to revisit and study SAT vocabulary, to expand my lyrical venacular. Suggestions? Does anyone read this?


"I mean, in a world without God, aren't mothers the new god?
The last sacred unassailable position. Isn't motherhood the last perfect magical miracle? But a miracle that's impossible for men.
And maybe me say they're glad not to give birth, all the pain and blood, but really thats just so much sour grapes. For sure, men can't do anytning near as incredible. Upper body strength, abstract thoguht, phalluses--any advantages men appear to have are pretty token.
You can't even hammer a nail with a phallus.
Women are already born so far ahead ability-wise. The day men can give birth, that's when we can start talking about equal rights."

Chuck Palahniuk, Choke. pp. 118-119


So ingenious!

Random thought #213568904

Why do you never see baby pigeons?


How come we turn away so quickly when our eyes meet the gaze of another, but we can stare at babies for hours on end and not get initimdated?


Why are stereotypes and preconceptions so natural?


Why do friends stop caring?

Rekindle

Motivation. Inspiration. I need to rekindle it all. I haven't blogged in ages.




So what's new with me:
Dog (Lhasa Apso)















Camera (Nikon D40)





























I've also revisited reading for recreation, and to my pleasant surprise our reunion was a joyous one. I've read a couple books by Arthur Nersesian, Mark Acito, and Chuck Palahniuk. I feel like I get too immersed in these fictional worlds though. But i suppose that's just the author doing a good job like they should. Anyone wanna read with me? I like to have alone time, with other people. I'm pretty sure it's the extrover in me, but there's something about being able to act independently in the presence of other people that leaves me fulfilled. Actually, that sounds like the bi-polar Gemini quality in me.







Anyway. I'm about halfway through Palahniuk's Lullaby, and it's insanely good. Another favorite of mine is Nersesian's Chinese Takeout. Read it or I'll kill you. Just kidding. But really, I'll kill you.
Well.. I guess thats all I have for now. Being sick sucks, by the way. And does anyone wanna go to the MOCA with me?
