Indeed I do. What time is it? 4:22 A.M. of course, wouldn’t you know. I swear I’ll go to bed after this. It’s just that lately, no matter how little sleep I get, I haven’t been tired at all. At least right now, my eyes feel heavy, but the yawning has yet to set in. (The yawning is the true indicator for me. )
Since all I’ve been doing on this blog is random things that gives da readers hints about what my life is doing, I guess I’ll do that now.
Since I’ve got back home for the summer, things have been pretty good. I’m still looking for a job, but I think I’m going to get the one that I really want. :) I have been exercising now because I have time. YAY. It’s bad though. I think I’ve been exercising too much. I don’t do it because I’m concerned about getting fat or any of that, but I just do it because I’m bored, and it’s just something enjoyable to waste time. For example, I have been both running and swimming. Last Saturday, I left the house with my Sister Hazel CD and a good (but very worn) pair of running shoes. I didn’t know how far I was going to run, nor did I care. Turns out that I ran 6.6 miles. (Don’t forget that this was in the summer heat at noon.) On Tuesday, I also went for a run, with the same mind set—not really caring how far. This time, I ran 8.5 miles. I think I’m going to go today, and maybe I’ll go 10 miles or something. The world may never know. Heck, I don’t even know.
Also, on Sunday, like any good Catholic, I went to mass, but I partcipated by playing the trumpet. It was really nice—just being able to use a God given gift to serve other people. I liked it. Something that’s really cool though is that Michael De La Garza (the musical director for the church) said that he would like to do a brass quintet. This would be sooooo awesome. Not only do brass quintets rock, but it’s for church. Nothing can get better than that.
Tonight I made a photo chain out of clothespins and a clothesline. Not only am I satisfied with how cool it looks, but it’s also one of my goals that I set for myself this summer. I’m not doing too poorly for the list. Yay. When I have the time, I’ll put up pictures that I took.
Also tongiht, I signed up to be a Swim Angel for the Danskin Triathlon. (I tried to sign up for a relay, but the registration closed). I think this is going to be really fun, and I can hardly wait. It’s such a good cause, and it makes me happy knowing that I can be part of it.
I also saw Osama tonight. He is one of my closest friends, whom I can practically tell anything to. He is also the one person whom I would call a “perfect gentleman.” Sometimes I wonder why I was never attracted to him in that kind of way. The way he treats me is the epitome of what I would want a significant other to be. It’s cute. Even though we’re just friends and stuff, he never lets me pay for anything—although I always stuff money in his wallet. He treats me like an angel, and once in a while, that’s nice. Things aren’t going to be the same without seeing him next year.
Well that’s enough for now.
Ich wünsche, daß ich in den Wolken war, die hoch oben schweben, hat keine Sorgen, wohnend einfach mit den Engeln.
Sounds like your summer is going great so far. I'm looking forward to seeing you at the Danskin - it's awesome that you'll be a swim angel. Makes me wish I was a bit more proactive in finding a relay team this year.
I wish that I was not in the clouds, which float highly above have concerns, living simply with the angels.
Posted by: Jfer on May 27, 2004 06:43 AMDid you make that up, or is it a quotation?
I would have said: Ich wünsche, daß ich in den Wolken wäre, die hoch oben schweben, keine Sorgen hätte, wohnend einfach mit den Engeln.
It's not clear who is having no worries, ich or die Wolken.
Jfer's translation reeks of Babelfish.
Posted by: Uncle Pat on May 27, 2004 01:59 PMBTW, I think it's time to go to a color scheme that's a little more legible. In fact, I think that legibility should be your main criterion, then beauty or whatever
Posted by: Uncle Pat on May 27, 2004 02:00 PMI changed the color scheme after comments were made that people couldn't read it. Not like I'm trying to be rude, but what part of it is hard to read. Blame it on only being 19 years old, but I can read it perfectly fine, and so I don't know how to fix the problem.
Posted by: Courtney on May 27, 2004 02:16 PMIts not too difficult to read. Since you are using blue letters on a blue background, you might try making the font bold for a better contrast. Pat, would that help solve the readability problem?
Posted by: Theresa on May 27, 2004 03:05 PMThe main problem is not with the primary text, but with the signatures, which seem to be brown. Of all the comments here, the only word I can distinguish is "Jfer" in the first comment. I wonder why everyone else's name isn't yellow like Jfer's.
Posted by: Pat on May 27, 2004 08:59 PMI find the new color scheme much better. This page is now 99.9% legible; the only problem I have is with the 3rd line on the page, the one that says: "
Posted by: Pat on May 28, 2004 07:00 AMYes, I actually did know that, but I didn't have much time to fix it, nor did I know what it was called actually. So, if you know what sub group it is in, that would be much help to me.
