When the hell did I become better at handling stress than some of the people I'm surrounded by?
Things just keep getting stranger and stranger. I can't remember the last time I've felt this removed from the world, and for once in my life, it's a completely welcome feeling.
I do love you all though.

When you can't even carry your issues long enough to make it through a car ride home, feel confused and empty.
When you get severly pissed at the humanity for being insincere and uncaring, then realizes what a pointless thought process you're caring on, make yourself a midnight snack.
When you lose the drive to write a journal entry about it all before you walk in the door, give up and go to bed.

NCAA Tourney Picks
I'm not going to list all of my picks, but I am going to give you my Sweet 16, Final Four, and Championship selections:
Sweet 16 - Kentucky, Kansas, GA Tech, Gonzaga, St. Joe's, Manhattan, Pitt, OK State, Duke, Illinois, Air Force, Miss. St., Stanford, Maryland, WMU, and UConn
Final Four - Gonzaga, OK State, Duke, Maryland
Championship - OK State over Duke (151 total points)
Incidentially, I have Western Michigan going all the way to the Elite Eight, beating Vandy, NC State, and UConn(!) before finally losing to a hot Maryland team.

Life slowed down threefold somewhere during the evening yesterday. All my actions were slow and deliberate. It hasn't regained its prior velocity as of it, so I'm just relishing it while it lasts.

Drivel from yesterday/today
3:13pm - 3/15/04
Maybe the best way to have others and life not demand as much out of me (not that they really do) is to demand less out of others and of life. Double standards aren't cool.
3:53pm - 3/15/04
I want to share my happiness and my perspective with others. Perhaps the easiest way to do this is to smile as much as I can... and mean it.
10:13pm - 3/15/04
I just had the most wickedly great idea. It'll never happen though.
I don't say "you're welcome" at work (either). I say "no problem" or "have a good one/day." I don't know if I should be concerned with that or not. I tried saying it last night, managed to say it three times by the end of the day.
It's time to simplify. I tried to throw too much on my plate at the beginning of the year to get my mind off my problems, and now that I'm feeling better, I've just got a bunch of stuff that I'm not sure I want to do. I just want to go out with some friends, maybe some new faces for a change of pace, and have a good time; funny how somehow I want the same things I did before I started this major overhaul of my personality.
I also want to watch an obscenely large amount of college basketball this weekend.

I swear, I'm so done for a while after these. I'm getting sick of staring at them on my friends page, but it's better than no updates at all.
Things just seem to be getting progressively weirder as the days go on. I'm trying to just take it all in with a cool detachment.
Watching myself on video has always been very unnerving, especially when I'm acting like a weirdo. I have no problem with my picture being taken, but video captures my actions and words and allows me to see how others view me.
Time to make my bracket choices. Go Broncos!
Reincarnation: You are nice enough to go to heaven,
but Earth won't be as fun without you. So you
shall come back as someone or something else.
As a real optimist and lighthearted person, you
always see the good in things. People probably
respect you for your wonderful personality and
love for life. People like you make the world a
happier place (please rate my quiz)

you are aqua
#00FFFF |
Your dominant hues are green and blue. You're smart and you know it, and want to use your power to help people and relate to others. Even though you tend to battle with yourself, you solve other people's conflicts well.
Your saturation level is very high - you are all about getting things done. The world may think you work too hard but you have a lot to show for it, and it keeps you going. You shouldn't be afraid to lead people, because if you're doing it, it'll be done right.
Your outlook on life is very bright. You are sunny and optimistic about life and others find it very encouraging, but remember to tone it down if you sense irritation.

YES!! Beat THAT!!
You are the grammar Fuhrer. All bow to your
authority. You will crush all the inferior
people under the soles of your jackboots, and
any who question your motives will be
eliminated. Your punishment is being the bane
of every other person's existence, because
you're constantly contradicting stupidity.
Everyone will be gunning for you. Your dreams
of a master race of spellers and grammarians
frighten the masses. You must always watch your
back. If only your power could be used for good
instead of evil.
What is your grammar aptitude?

So, I'm here crashing at the dorms as I have no car until Sunday and I have to be on campus in the morning anyway. Feels so weird to do literally nothing for a few hours.
Finally, caught my tic in the mirror today... it was pretty interesting.
Three credits this summer and fourteen in the fall, and Jason's out of this bitch. Let's hope it works out.
I agree with Meruan though. I do need a fresh start. I need to leave everything but the bare esssentials behind. Grab 100 CDs I can't live without and skip this joint. Life is good, in a general sense, but it's become too predictable, and the weather in this place has become torturous. But I do have a lot going for me here in West Michigan, so if I do end up staying, it won't be the end of the world.

:: Music: U2 - I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For
Last night was needed. The concert was really great. I went in expecting little, and the man still has it. It was very soothing to just go to a concert and just sit and take it in... it was very laidback but he still rocked. Seeing him sing and the old song standards in the second half was still a little unnerving, but for me, the first half was a noglastic trip, taking me back to a previous time in my life, and the second was a reminder that everything changes in time. I went back in time last night in many ways, and it was nice to revisit some old feelings.
I also received one of the most beautiful sentiments ever from a friend last night. The more I think about it, the more I am touched. I started to disagree with the person, to say I wasn't deserving of such a statement, and then I scaled my defenses back and just let it in. It felt good. I thank you for what you said, it was much needed.
But as always, the moment ends, and I'm once again faced with added pressures and mounting money problems. One day at a time... babysteps...
Is it so hard to see me as that? Someone does, and to me that makes a difference.

You are one of the few out there whose wings are
truly ANGELIC. Selfless, powerful, and
divine, you are one blessed with a certain
cosmic grace. You are unequalled in
peacefulness, love, and beauty. As a Being of
Light your wings are massive and a soft white
or silver. Countless feathers grace them and
radiate the light within you for all the world
to see. You are a defender, protector, and
caretaker. Comforter of the weak and forgiver
of the wrong, chances are you are taken
advantage of once in awhile, maybe quite often.
But your innocence and wisdom sees the good in
everyone and so this mistreatment does not make
you colder. Merciful to the extreme, you will
try to help misguided souls find themselves and
peace. However not all Angelics allow
themselves to be gotten the better of - the
Seraphim for example will be driven to fighting
for the sake of Justice and protection of those
less powerful. Congratulations - and don't ever
change - the world needs more people like you.

The Rule of Three
Examining my behavior in terms of my behaviorist background, I've came to the conclusion that it takes more instances of punishment to deter me from a behavior than it does most folks. I'm kind of like the rat who goes for the water, receives a shock, then goes back for more water, because that dipper has something he wants. It takes a longer punishment history to get me to stop doing something, because I somehow believe that the outcome will be different despite the circumstances being the same. I've come up with an average of three based on my recent fun with automobiles, i.e. it takes me three totaled cars because it totally and completely sinks in. Interestingly enough, I need a much shorter reinforcement history to institute a pretty set pattern of behavior. I don't know if that means I'm just an eternal optimist or what. Anyway, excuse my behavioral mumbo-jumbo, I just found it interesting.
In other news, one good piece of news has arrived in the past couple of days. Turns out Menards gave me Team Member of the Week for all the hard work I put in covering for all the spring-breakers, so that's cool. Big win for the home team!

Yours are DEMON wings, possibly resembling
those of a bat - huge, black, and clawed. You
are cold and impure, and a born Creature of the
Night. Possibly with an interest in those of a
vampyric nature, or possibly one yourself. You
have little sympathy or care for humanity and
see them as existing for no real purpose -
thus, you can be very manipulative and bend
them to fit YOUR purpose. And you do have a
purpose, to everything you do. Nine times out
of ten it will be strictly for your own self
gratification or perhaps merely amusement. As
soon as a person or situation is no longer
productive or pleasurable in your life, you
will rid yourself of it or them. You could very
well have just a touch of superiority complex
(or perhaps more than a touch?). Despite all of
this, you are capable of love so intense that
you place that person's wishes even above your
own - the only time that you will do so.
Chances are you are attracted to people in
which you see...yourself. Though many hate you
for your carelessness and evil...Sexy, fierce,
sinful, and mysterious...you turn me on.
