"Remember, the mind likes to assume it "know what it knows" but often its perceptions are just not accurate. Yet strong judgments are made all the time based on limited information...When we judge someone and then adopt an attitude toward them, that shuts down other possibilities and locks us away from the insight of our hearts." - Doc Childre and Howard Martin

There are times when things are not going great that one tries to deal with them by cutting out everyone who is important in their life. That way, all you have left is you and the problems not associated with the people that have the greatest impact on you. It is a lonely way to approach the problem, but sometimes you feel like you have no choice. Sometimes people force you to do this and others its your own choice because you know what hurts now is probably better than what will hurt a little for a very long time. Then again, it might always hurt a little, so it just a way of feeling like you have some control over your life.

Check out my horoscope: Be happy with yourself and everyone around you, dear Capricorn. Stop trying to find fault with everyone you interact with. By criticizing everyone's habits, what they do, and how they do it, you may wake up one morning and you find that you have no more friends. By only seeing the bad in people, you may inevitably talk yourself out of a relationship with them. Be careful of coming across as always knowing the solution to everything. It is not your job to dictate or judge.

I am working this weekend. I probably need with money, but I don't really mind working, probably because it keeps my mind off of other things. Too bad it was raining, but the bad weather is sometimes nice, maybe because I don't feel as bad about not being outside doing stuff.

Mia, my cat, cut my pinkie open last night. This comes after I almost broke my nose the day before. Not been too much on the side of luck lately. So she was doing her normal thing of annoying the hell out of me in the morning and stratching and pawing my face so I can get up and feed her when I just covered my entire body with my blanket. Well I move my hand under the blanket and she sees it as a toy and from the outside she slashes at it with her nails that she would normally use to slash at a rats stomach to split open its guts (I actually read this somewhere)....well the nail goes through the blanket and digs into my pinky and she pulls. That pain woke me up, but I just decided to sleep on it instead of putting a bandaid on it. It wasn't until later that I see blood on my sheets and and notice she cut in pretty damn good. Not like stiches good, but like, stings like hell good.

I know this will make me sound like the coolest kid on the block, but I just finished watching the Star Trek: Deep Space Nine series. I think I saw that last few seasons, but it is nice to know how it finally ended. They show two episodes on Spike each day and I had been recording them.

You can judge a person by their inactions as well as their actions.

How far?

"Americans should select and prefer Christians as their rulers." - email from Aunt

So I got this forward email from an aunt. It was full of the country was founded on Christianity, so why do we need to remove it from government. The oppressed majority argument that upsets me. It was full of a lot of things I didn't agree with, but the quote I put up was the one that really hit me. I guess there are two ways of looking at it...but I seriously, rulers...They rule everything and they are so non-christian it drives me insane. Why have we let this type of people hijack Christianity. I'm Christian, but these people make worry that the message of Jesus doesn't mean as much as their hate.

Today I had a negotiation in class. It went well. The girl I worked with was really nice and it wasn't as bad as I expected. Now I have two papers left in this class and then I'll be done. Finals are so damn close.

Daylight Savings I enjoy becuase now when I get out of class, it isn't pitch dark. There is just something about not feeling like your entire day is over. I miss the sun, yet I'm not an outside person so many I should stop complaining about that.

Florida

"Love all, trust a few. Do wrong to none." - William Shakespeare

Florida won the NCAA tournament. I lost 7 dollars. I could of won 55 or lost up to 100. I bet in a way to win 8 bucks no matter who won...and then decided to press my luck and put more money on UCLA hoping for a comeback and resell, and that did not happen...hence, I lost 7 bucks at the end of it all.

My plan is to get through my day. I feel like that that is always my plan.

I hate spam, but worse, I hate forwards. Mainly people that forward. What bothers me more is that you get them from people who you thought were somewhat intelligent, yet they send you crap about resending or else you'll die or other stupid stuff. I have talked about this subject before with all my opinions on the topic. Well all my ranting and responses to people's emails (especially when sharing false information they say is fact), has gotten me off most people's forwards lists. I am happy for that. Well guess what? MySpace has made this problem even worse. At least they all go to bulletins that I can choose to visit or not, but it shows me how stupid people can be. I don't hate all forwards, but fuck, some of these are really stupid. I don't know how people are not embarrassed for sending that crap out...maybe the fear of being single for the next 45 years (most recent threat) is enough.

Today I noticed the cherry blossoms for the first time this year, which is fitting, especially since it is spring. Too bad we got a stint of cold weather.

just another day of another year

End of the Road

"Don't use a big word where a diminutive one will suffice." - Unknown

Well Mason is now at the end of the tournament. We lost a not too well played game against Florida. I would feel bad about their play, but LSU played so terribly, that it almost made Mason look good. I almost lost a lot of money on the game, and when I say a lot, I mean a lot. Long story short, a sure thing is not always a sure thing. You have to obey that feeling that tells you that too good to be true is probably too good to be true. Betting both sides of a game can win you money, but only if you pay attention to the details of your bets. In the end it all worked out and I broke even.

The part of my laptop that turns the screen off broke this weekend. It broke when I first got my laptop and when I sent it in to get fixed, I have always been very careful not to let it break. Well it is now broken and that is fustrating. I guess there is nothing I can do now, except make sure to turn my computer to standby before closing it. What can you do.

I had two friends come into town this weekend, but I only got to see one, Sam. Cynthia, I did not get to see. She was here for a friend's bday party and since I didn't attend the bday party, I didn't get to see her. I don't blame her for being upset at me for not being able to join them in whatever activities they were doing, but I have to admit, I was very fustrated with how the whole thing turned out and how things were. Either someone is my guest and I take responsibility for what is going on or they are someone else's guest and I can't control where they go, but you would think they would leave for a bit to go hang out with a friend instead of being at their disposal the entire time.

Sam came into town. I picked him up Friday. We didn't do anything too exciting, but there was a lot of drinking and poker, gambling and Madden. We all watched the Final Four on Saturday and even got to see V for Vendetta on Sunday. I had a good time, but now I have a lot of work I should be getting to since I wasn't too productive. That was probably my last weekend of fun.

Allergy season is now started and I am really feeling it. We have the windows open at our house because it is nice outside, but this is making me sneeze like no other. I have a love hate relationship with this part of the year.

many things on the mind
