Last post

This will be my last post before moving to my new home: www.ilikesky.com

Hopefully I will treasure my new home and use it as a motivation to improve my writing. I’m pretty excited. So today is the first day of my summer break and I went back to school for half a day and wiped about 50 whiteboards and stacked many more books. I wonder if those smelly white board cleaners are any bad for your health, because I definitely sat for several hours in the midst of its stinging aroma, or rather, odor.

Time to make my summer goals and start doing work…

3 more finals

Let me express my sincere appreciation for the level of elegance and organization required to make a website. Although anything website/blog related does serve to be a major distraction for me, I just can’t pull myself away from it. Just 3 more finals to go. I should start setting my goals and organizing my time for the summer.. Ahh.. I just can’t wait. (note the sarcasm)

New Camera

It’s brilliant.

Long Range

Zoomed in on the flowers. (See previous picture)

Notice the beautiful zoom.

Camera

I think I am getting too greedy. Is it lust? Is it the desire to “own stuff”? I think it could be the modern enticements, the want for newer, cooler stuff. I’ve never gotten over my anxiety with spending other people’s money. The problem is, I have no way or time to earn the money myself. Perhaps I should just be patient and endure the anxiety for a little something that will satisfy my wishes. The camera isn’t going to be like the microphone. Because I will love it. The many hours I have spent posting photos and blogging were all done out of love for these two things. Maybe I actually did them because of vanity and ego, for some self delusional sense of accomplishment, or just the appreciation of beauty. But I like it. Is there anything wrong with that? Maybe.

I Wish I Was the Moon

Neko Case – I Wish I Was the Moon

Chimney falls and lovers blaze
Thought that I was young
Now I’ve freezing hands and bloodless veins
As numb as I’ve become

I’m so tired
I wish I was the moon tonight

Last night I dreamt I had forgotten my name
‘Cause I had sold my soul but awoke just the same
I’m so lonely
I wish I was the moon tonight

God blessed me, I’m a free man
With no place free to go
I’m paralyzed and collared-tight
No pills for what I fear

This is crazy
I wish I was the moon tonight

Chimney falls and lovers blaze
Thought that I was young
Now I’ve freezing hands & bloodless veins
As numb as I’ve become

I’m so tired,
I wish I was the moon tonight

How will you know if you found me at least
‘Cause I’ll be the one, be the one, be the one
With my heart in my lap
I’m so tired, I’m so tired
I wish I was the moon tonight

Beauty

Perhaps there’s no such thing as not fair or fair. Maybe those jealous people are the only ones who are unsatisfied with the status quo. Beauty is mighty and great. It’s something we cannot control. Maybe that’s why it’s so valuable. After all, human will is always going to loose before what we have no control over. The intrinsic qualities are supposedly God sent. They are destined. They are transcendental. They are like gold, simply the rarity of it can determines its value. Of course in this case, it’s much more than rarity. It’s beauty. What more can I say? Just accept yourself and get over it.

Summer

It’s almost. It’s so close. I think I will start some serious blogging after school gets out. I don’t know how long that will last though. But I believe things will get more interesting after I get my new camera. Anyway, WordPress is still awesome. I just wished it wasn’t blocked in China.
