Rancho Cucamunga

I think that despite my disdain for dishwashing, it is humourous how it is an issue for almost any group of people living together...
adding to my disdain...
DOWN WITH DISHWASHING! it breeds internal hatred among humanity!
let us go back to plates made of leaves.
think about it:
1. it would be cool.
2. it woul create jobs, because someon would hav to make the leaf plates everyday and note everyone would want to.
3. they'd be biodegradable... you coul jut chuck em out the window when you are done!..
Paradise my friends...

Leave modern plates for decorative purposes only... like those ones that come with teh sign:
WARNING. DECORATIVE ONLY, LEAD PAINT, DO NOT USE TO EAT

why do they need that sign? and the one for hairdryers in showers... WHY?

I also have come to a deeper apprecaition of color...
Color is awsome!
See?
Try to think of a world with no color... none... do it for a while, just live for a few minutes in your head in a world without color and then open your eyes to something crazy like this picture, or flowers, or india, or thailand, and see what you think...

Housework

I have made an objective decision.
There are many many many things I love about life. They make me amazingly happy everyday,, and there are just two things that might be onsidered a blight to mundane but wsome daily human existance:
1. Housework, but really just washing dishes
2. Grading. Who likes grading? NO ONE.
I think every other tedious and daily thing about life. I think some of the most fascinatingly amazing things happen when nothing is going on. It is the time when you can really get to know people and yourself. This is big coming from an adventure junkie. Of course I still want to kayak own rivers, head up to everest base camp, ride a camel in the sahara, and ride a horse up to see some Ecuadorian volcaoes, but in between I think I can really enjoy the details.
I'm trying to let the world adn people get to me less and less. We're just people, and it is just the world. Don't we blow everythign too far out of proportion. I know it is cheezy but global warming is consuming the planet, there are over 100,000 child soldiers in Africa, the tensions between the middle east and the west are strady or increasing, civil wars continue all over the world, and people are using religion to push each other apart instead of bringing each other together just as much today as 2000 yars ago.... so is the broken coffee pot, the insensitive phrase, the small misunderstanding between ways of doign things really worth my stress level rising and my heart going to my head?
My dad apparently had a mild stroke last week. Granted my father is a walking combination of smoking, stress, and age. Yet, we really do think that they'll live forever no matter what...
He's fine... as logn as he lives a more regimented life...
Yet, unnecessary stress is such a huge part of his life, and, as far as I am convinced, of recent medical events. I don't like that path.

This picture I've put up before, but it is the only one I have of the rental units...

My heart is with you dad... every day, even if I can't be there. It always has been. Despite anything.

Hmmm...

Well..

I just have to say.
COMMENT PEOPLE, I'M NEEDY AND WANT OPINIONS!

thanks...

i should post more pictures... I'll start taking them again.

I've watched liek 30 or 40 hours of anime straight because I was really really sick.
I couldn't sleep, so I was saved by Japanese drama and action!
You should really learn to appreciate japanese anime if you already haven't.
It was many hours of Samurai X

That's all I have for now. WHat do you want? I've been sick.
Don't judge me.

Finding ways to communicate

Communication sucks.
It is hard.
But, we all have to do it. SO, we keep trying to find new ways to do it.
We make up whole language systems to have enough in common with other people that we can communicate. Religion, politics, countries, laws, pop music, fashion, sports, brand names... Then we take those simple and basic terms we invented to be abl to identify with each other on a superficial or not, depending, level... and we interpret them and reinterpret them and personally apply them until each person's version is so different that we have to find some other way of identifying with each other and communicating.
So, people in the modern world are running around doing everything just as long as it takes them to "make it their own" but then they are alone with it... alone again... so they pick something else up.
It is like a huge buffet of life choices and ideas....

sometimes it looks like that...
Sometimes though I just wish I could be someone's apprentice... stop trying to "make things my own" and wait until I gt the knowledge personally passed down, and experince has been gained... then, maybe then I could make something my own, after years of having it be shared... but at that time I would probably be ready to pass it on to someone else....
I'm not saying the whole world should work like that... it can't these days... the world is too small... there are too many people.... but... for some things... it would be nice.

Just think of the great combinations... alex the great and aristotle... famous painters and ..other painters... socretes and aristotle... if i were more educated i bet I could name hundreds...
