Sidenote...

booger... You'll notice that I tend to use words or make up my own new words to describe how I am feeling or emphasize the feeling, frequently. I go through phases of words, so if you see me frequently use a word, expect to hear me say it too.

Anywho, I have to admit, patience is not one of my stronger qualities. In fact, I would say I am bad at it. Much like my inability to give good phone, I am terrible at being patient. Seriously, if I want it, why can't I have it now?

Unfortunately, the world does not cater to me. (I wish it did though!) So... I shall sit here and be patient. I will wait for all the things and people my heart yearns for. It brings to mind a poem that was given to me by an old friend. I will post it and maybe someone else can gain something from reading it.

“Have patience with everything that remains unsolved in your heart. Try to love the questions themselves, like locked rooms and like books written in a foreign language. Do not now look for the answers. They cannot now be given to you because you could not live them. It is a question of experiencing everything. At present you need to live the question. Perhaps you will gradually, without even noticing it, find yourself experiencing the answer, some distant day.”
-Rainer Maria Rilke

Summer Vacation is ova....

Summer vacation is over. Sad face. So you want to know what's been going on in the world/USA/local in 1000 words or less. Okay, go...

World: Iran is a hot mess (clearly, I am somewhat obsessed). Ahmadinejad is president, shocker. Then he chose someone as his VP that the real leaders of Iran didn't like and so there is some chick-fight worthy drama there. Israel is up in arms (pun intended) about Iran's possessions of nuclear arms or the ingredients to make nuclear arms. Fair enough, they can be worried, since they are the kid that everyone picks on over there.

USA: I might poke my eye out if I have to listen to anymore jank about health care reform. The teenybopper crush on Obama is diminishing. I could have told you forever ago that Obama was going to be a rebound fling. Nothing worthy of keeping around, but at the time you think you want it and now we are stuck because we can't break up with this fling for another 3.5 years. Awesome.

Local: Well... truth, I don't keep up with local news. I do keep up with local college football. Pardon me, I keep up with HOKIE football. This weekend, we take on Miami. Nuff said. I'll let you know how it goes down.

I am not sure if this was 1000 words or less, but it works for me, so I hope it works for you too.

Till next time.
