New Goal

The goal: Learn about the stock market, learn about investing, learn how to read the Money section of the newspaper, and finally invest in a corporation/company.

I was inspired by this blog: http://undergroundvalue.blogspot.com/.

I’m no business major and I rarely read about investing, so this should be interesting …just like my creations on photoshop. (eek!)

Small Talk 2

Lets go into hiding
Hibernate our two worlds
And continue on
We can go back any time
Come and find me

My life has been rather “sequential,” and I only use that word since in every subject that I’ve studied, we’ve learned one step leads to another therefore a sequence, hence my life, a sequence of events. I have four exams this week, which is not as fun as it sounds. Actually, it sounds worse when you write it out. Four is such an icky number, whoever decided for that number to exist should rethink its necessity. It makes more sense to have the number five, since I’m not taking five classes. =)

Why hasn’t blogger inserted a set of smileys in their editing area? I guess it makes it less myspacey, or xangay…and yes the ‘y’ at the end of both of those sites was necessary.

I want to be more creative again because there was a time were I was a crafty young girl, and knew my way around the pencil box and scissors. And I doubt this is JUST a phase, since I’ve been good at keeping up with “artsy” things… And that’s also called procrastination. Anyways, so the new interests include Photoshop cs3 (taken from the lovely dc++, I don’t know where I would be without that hub), deviantart.com (http://marian8720.deviantart.com) scrapbooking (I will admit the thought has only crossed my mind, I haven’t really done anything with it yet), learning Spanish (and yes I do have Spanish-tutorials on my mp3 player, asta manyana?), and I’m sure there’s more, but none that are beyond their developmental stages in my head.

Another random thought, why is everyone getting married? I look on facebook, and I question the “engaged” statuses because I mean it is quite possible that those two weren’t kidding when they decided to change their status. Have we come to that age where people are ready to commit themselves for the rest of their lives? I can’t be one of them yet because there are some changes that I need to make as an individual first. Virtue changes, read about all the different ones here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virtue. Anyways, that’s life, everyone needs to grow up at some point. But I’d to rebuttal that since, in many ways I feel grown up. OK, I think it’s time to get going, since studying never gets done itself…unfortunately *mutters to self*

Small Talk

I used to keep a diary and it lasted from 6th grade to my senior year in high school. There was never anything too deep or dramatic about each entry, I just went through how my day had gone and the boys that tickled my fancy (heh which weren’t many at the time) Later on, I began to write poetry which has always been something I’ve loved. I like the poetry written with soul and feeling, the kind that doesn’t rhyme every line, but has a distinct parallelism all throughout. The romantic and solemn, the magical and mysterious, the deep and intellectual. Lines that aren’t just telling me how you feel, but how you FEEL at that instant.

The marker snapped and i yelled “quiet on the set”
And then called “action!”
And i kissed you in a style that clark gable would have admired

And just like that, I know how you feel- the perfect wording for the perfect poem.
So this diary of mine became filled with poetry that soon filled in a petite salmon colored notebook. The reason why I bring up all of this diary/journal stuff up is because I recently read an article, and here’s the link to it: http://zenhabits.net/2008/02/20-things-i-wish-i-had-known-when-starting-out-in-life/

It has a list of various things this guy wish he had known when he was 18, things that he wish he had known when starting off. Although, I believe in learning as you go along, he gives many helpful tips. This is what he wrote about keeping a journal,

Speaking of which, keep a journal. Seriously. Your memory is extremely faulty. I forget things really easily. Not short-term stuff, but long-term. I don’t remember things about my kids’ early years, because I didn’t record any of it. I don’t remember things about my life. It’s like a lot of foggy memories that I’ll never have access to. I wish I had kept a journal.

I love looking back at all my past entries and seeing how different I’ve become. Although many people don’t think they’ve changed, based on what you write, you have even if it’s very small.

Pleasure

I would never replace pleasure for pain
Pain comes close to that feeling though
Because their roots are similar, but they branch into different directions

I now know what it feels like to be ignored. Who will be the bigger man and speak? I know that she won’t, and it doesn’t make sense. I’ll probably be the first to say something.

I also know what it feels like to tell a person how you feel promptly. I didn’t keep it bottled up and I just told her how I felt.

She doesn’t understand.
