I vs. Me





hey
so i think i'm guna tone it down for now. for this post anyways. with the capitalization at least. i mean its much too far for me right now. gads.

so yeahhhhhhhhh. my boredom has brought me here. i hate this. the whole day i've felt like i had just woken up and my day hadn't even begun. then i glance at the clock in the bottom right hand of the screen (as i spend most of my time on the computer nowadays) and groan as the time is much too close to darkness once again. my days are now like that one glorious scene in The Matrix: Revolutions. its my favorite part in the whole movie. where Neo and Trinity are being chased by those spider-droids in the Machine City near the end, and the whole time the pollution and smog blots out the sun so completely and hopelessly. and then, suddenly, they go up higher and higher to escape the robots that are right on their tail till FINALLY they break free of the clouds of filth and see the sun fleetingly for the first time in their lives. the real, true, natural, beautiful, ethereal sun. not the computer-generated circle of light they see in the matrix. i always tear up.

yeah. so. i feel like most of my time is in darkness. the darkness of sleep, dreams, evening; that i only catch a fleeting glimpse at the warm summer sun before being plunged into darkness again. le sigh. i'll change. i've got to.

hmm what else...learned a lot more grammar today! that's one little thing about me: i really like learning about grammar and do it in my spare time when a question arises. i like being proper about it and i find it fascinating. they're like little sacred secrets. English teachers swear by them (O for the love of the Merriam-Webster Dictionary...), and it seems like none but them know of all the secrets. i mean...how can you not be awed? its beautiful.
okay, maybe that's a bit toooo far.
I also like being incredulous. hah. but I've found that if you do it verbally, people think you have a problem.

I think that's all for now. Hrrmm. Looks like toning it down went out the window. This post has clearly cheered me up. Thanks, post.

i couldn't agree with you more about feeling that the day has completely vanquished while we are either asleep or on the computer. sometimes i feel like my day has been a waste, but then i remember that school starts again soon and i wont have as much down time.

your writing is really good. i always enjoy reading it ;]
