The best thing to...
What a way to start the new year.
Hello.
So this is it, huh? 2009 is about to draw to a close and here we are bracing ourselves for the impact of the new year. We set up goals and resolutions to better ourselves and hope to stick to those resolutions. More often than not, we fail. However that does not disfigure the human spirit to stay optimistic, to set goals and to aim for the better. If only we can apply these hopelessly...
Where are things going?
Is it better to cross the line and suffer the consequences than to just stare at the line for the rest of your life?

What She Doesn't Know Will Kill You →
I read this article yester-years ago, circa 2004. I still can’t get it out of my head. For your reading pleasure.
My Sassy Girl.
Charlie Bellow: On the reasons to stop seeing her side we have: One, on going physical danger. Two, high likely-hood of a broken heart. Three, uh career sabotage. Four, she is clinically insane. Five, she seems to enjoy my pain. Six, fourteen piece matched set of Louis Vuitton emotional baggage. Seven, I haven't even kissed her yet, for God's sakes. Uh eight, she's ruining my life.
Leo: And the reasons to keep seeing her?
Charlie Bellow: I'm in love with her.

Latter Days.
Christian: You want revelations engraved in gold and angels trumpeting down from heaven. What if this is it instead? Me telling you I love you, right here in the snow? I think that is pretty miraculous.

Everyone needs a friend like her...
Vassi: So, as expected, I've been ruminating about what we were chatting about earlier. Like you said, the choices we make are what matter. By choosing something (i.e. going to med school in NYC versus somewhere else), am I unknowingly losing my chance to find "the one"? Am I going to be going through the rest of my life as half of a whole I'll never encounter?! OR do the choices we make simply lead us to the right type of person, not an individual? That I can believe. That's why I'm so wary of believing in soul mates. I really want to, but it's that fear that this whole concept has such a small success rate in actually bringing so-called soul mates together. I sometimes treat it as if it's a force of nature, that it can somehow control our actions and choices--thus making it ridiculously hard to trust.
So what are we logical, realistic gals supposed to do? Just hoping something organically happens without doing anything seems to good to be true.
My rant about absolutely nothing is over. Just something I've been pondering.
skype chat soon.

My buried life.
Not too long ago I posted a link to The Buried Life website. If you haven’t checked it out, I suggest you do so right now. At this very moment. Stop reading and scroll down and click the words “When crazy is wrapped in beautiful, it’s hard to look the other way.” If you’ve already checked it out, I was wondering what’s on your list?
