I am writing this yesterday,, spooky. I am preparing this in advance as I hope to be in Disneyland when I would ordinarily be posting this. I hope to keep writing here after this trip. It is amazing the things I can get up to when don’t have video games to distract me. I do have a pretty damn good book with me. I got it for my birthday and it is really good so far and so far is page 180 of 312.

Okay so since the traveling is done,,, does this even count as a ‘travel’ log? Whatever.

okay so Assassins Creed was a lot of fun. I am happy I finished it before I left for Costa Mesa. Though playing it for three hours Sunday before I left may not have been the greatest idea ever. I arrived here around 4pm on Sunday and I wanted to walk around to scout out places to eat and see what the place looked like. It was kind of cool and over cast, I only brought one warm layer, a hoodie, medium gray. I also brought a knife,, why? Because I always have a knife,, or almost always.

There is a book called ‘The Phantom Tollbooth‘ it’s one of those books that I read that redefined my personality. There was demon in that looked like le fils de l’homme only he actually didn’t have a face. He went on all the time about change being bad. This was also the book that made me love math and language. It was dark in places and demonstrated that just because you were a child you could still deal with tough decisions. Indeed it really emphasized that when you are a child your lack of experiance makes MANY things a tough decision.

The one thing that really stuck out in my mind though was a house with a door on each of its four walls. Each door was labled differently. There was ‘The Giant’, ‘The Midget’, ‘The Fat Man’ and ‘the Thin Man’ as you may have guessed each door was answered by the same perfectly average man. The reasoning was that from a thin perspective, he was fat, tall he was short etc.

We’ll be right back

Everyone follows a path. There are as many paths as there are people. We all travel a path toward a goal, often the goal is not attainable, this makes it no less appealing nor any less a worthwhile journey. Indeed in the end it becomes the path and the act of traveling which is the worthier part. In the end finding the goal would cause the traveling to end. I have crafted my own path, one of honor and respect. one of hard work and study. I have, unbeknown to myself, begun traveling the path of zazen.

Unfortunately this path of honor has prevented me from taking chances that would have not caused me to bat an eye some years ago. In the end I hope that this path causes me to clean some of the tarnish from my soul and my belief in karma means that I hope it pays off in the end, but if not, at least I made the world a little better for others. I would say it has also caused me to “regret not doing things instead of regretting doing them” but regret, like gloating, is a waste of time. (15 points to the first one to get the quotes)

Okay site update: there is a new section: Stories have a gander, read the stories then tell me what you think! Please! There is a link to that page in the header.

edit: comments will have to go here because I can’t get them to work on the page.

other things, I am still feeling all weird I think it is simply the lack of stuff to do. If I don’t hear from that one guy by like say, Wednesday, I am going to start applying for jobs at other places. Because

1. The money would be nice
2. I am bored
3. Work is a good place to meet people
4. It will get me out of the house
5. It will get me out of this funk

It has been just over a fortnight since my last posting. By the time I am done with this it will be a nice even 16 days I am sure. In those two weeks I have taken two tests, written 30+ pages of papers and reports, given two presentations earned one bachelors degree gone on one date and gotten an average of 5.2 hours of sleep a night and sat in my chair in front of my computer for probably a solid 5 days if not more.

So there is about to be a lot of complaining and random ramblings. Do not follow the link if ya don’t wanna read it. =-) (more…)
