My work days are getting better - that is - I am now working morning shifts. For those of you who are very close to me and are familiar with my talks about my workplace - well, pray to God that I will be able to hold onto morning shifts for good until I quit my job (or vacation leave as I would tell my boss)...because honestly - being able to spend some quality time at home alone after work is great...but alas! Sometimes I just don't have a lot to say other than about how my schedule has changed in my favour...which is good. No - which is awesome...!
I have been so busy with miscellaneous stuff like buying groceries and everything these days that it is quite hard to get my imagination rolling - but I think I can make it happen again once I get some more time off...so stressed out these few days I could barely think up of a topic to write for my Xanga entries lol...now, that is not funny. Oh, whatever - it is just frustrating that I don't seem to update so much these days...wish I have more to say...I probably need to do more reading and other fun stuff besides work and all my, "usual" activities - which is just lame...and considering I hardly see my gf - well, times are tough, and tough times require tough action - both internally and extenally...
I probably need to do more reading and also more art...that way I can give my imagination some rebirth and at least a chance to catch up before I totally lose my sense of imagination - which I hope to God will not happen...

After reading The Hedgehog Dilemma entry - well, what do I have to say? Well, this is my point - on's life does not depend fully on one's past - your past does not - does not define you as a person COMPLETELY - because it can not. It is merely a segment of one's personalities and character - there is way more to a person than just the past. The past does not define - it influences. It does not need to be considered at every twist and turn of life - because life does not require that of us. All that life requires from us the will to live for today and tomorrow and to reminisce and cherish the past but not to live for it. The past did teach us lessons about our past - but the present and the future will teach us all many more lessons. Not all our life lessons and values come from the past just like not all lessons can come from the present. Everything in life goes at its own pace - it is not a tsunami of lessons that we are expected to learn overnight - it is too idealistic and too much to learn in one moment of our lives.
It is vital therefore - to move on with one's life - to take risks, to dream up of the impossible and to forge your own path - no matter how silly or stupid one may think it is. It may sound stupid - but it does not make it stupid. It is may sound arrogant for one person to make predictions or to make things happen for themselves against the flow of life - that is because one may not and it is counter-intuitive to imagine that the flow is always right just as it is impossible to believe that our own freewill is always right - but with a good balance of both extremes one can live for oneself and at the same time - serve others and, "go with the flow." But, "going with the flow" is not always the same as, "conformity." There is a huge inuitive difference there - because conformity requires obedience while going with the flow means you may also make your own little spring separated from the mainstream but at least you are connected to it - a little bit at certain moments here and there.
Today - I, personally live in the NOW, the present, and focus on a prosperous future but at the same time - I do get mad about certain past memories or people - but aside from a few anger spasms once in a while considerng my psat I do not actually go out there and do whatever the hell with it. I let it be and just let them continue living their lives (whether miserable or destructive is not for me to judge - but to commentate/criticize- sure, why not?).
I am happy with my present - although I do need to improve on certain areas and change in some ways or another - but aside from that - it is no big deal. I can handle a relationship along with work and family issues (I think) and take care of myself all at the same time...so - everything seems to be going well. I just need to improve my imagination skills once again...art/left hand writing/reading???
So much to do - yet so tired...oh well, I'll wait until my summer break to actually do more art and such...for now - I'll see other people's art lol - it might actually give me some ideas!

I miss you a lot babe and really want to see you tomorrow...our first formal date! I am excited.
Yours, love and anxious
