I know about half of this won't show up, but the important stuff is on the left side of the chart anyway.

19 hours, should be fun. Two of the courses are Air Force courses, and I am really glad I didn't have to drop chemistry or math. I would have had to, but the school added a new class time to trigonometry at the last minute.

Another One Bites the Dust . . . Another Exam that Is

Alright, so I just got back after finishing my biology exam, which was relatively easy. There were about three, maybe four questions I might have gotten wrong (out of sixty-five), and I knew all of the bonus questions except 1/4 of a listing question that was worth one bonus point total. So I am definitely hoping for an A.

I have a Yoga teaching audition at two o' clock this afternoon in the gym (the Payne Center, if you can believe it). I am starting to get nervous, but I am confident things will work out as they are meant to be. I still have something on the order of 30 questions to answer for the English self-evaluation project. I am thankful I have already completed my revisions and I hope to have the rest of the questions done by this evening. My applications for employment are all filled out and all I need to do is print the class schedule for next fall.

I already talked about the flood, right? Everyone I've talked to so far has insurance, so I think we're alright as a community. Enjoy your day.

Blessings.

A Strange Fact

The manatee is the elephants closest living relative.

Yep, the sea cow is more like a sea elephant.

How weird is that, bro?

Natural Disasters, a lot to Write, and Life to Study

Today in Hattiesburg we had what the weather service define as a "Flash Flood." I understand why. I got caught in it on my way home from running errands . . . (bank, library, post office) . . . and it was, well, amazing. The water was up to my knees at least in some places, and well up past the wheel wells of some cars. I was running through it trying to get out of these huge pools of water before a Flash of lightning came down and gave me a real nice toast. Anyway, I feel very sad for everyone whose cars got flooded. I know some of them probably won't work anymore. I hope everyone has flood insurance.

I don't have a car, so I avoided catastrophe. However, I was at a much higher risk of getting struck by lightning than most people, except Monica, who ventured out into the storm to driver her car away and save it. If Monica could do it, everyone else should have been able to do it to! She is by no means lithe and agile, and yet she managed to do it.

See what I mean? There are always two sides to every position.

Other than that, I LOVE the folks at IEs4Linux for being awesome enough to make IE available for, well, Linux.

Anyway, I have to get back to studying now.

I downloaded a bunch of music creation software today (free software, linux software, done right) so I'll be creating some music in the future. It will be good, or it will be bad, but either way, I will see that it is good.

Blessings all,
Matthew

Recycled Plastics Shining Out of Endless Seas of Waste

So I just wanted to post this really quickly because I came here to the computer lab to print out a few marketing things and bulletin board notices when I sat down at this Apple iMac. I cut my fingernails recently (for those of you who didn't know, I was letting them grow until one of them broke, and they got really really long) and so I am now able to use this keyboard in a way that I never have before. For those of you who are not sure about the iMac keyboard, it is white, flat, incredibly tactile, and it boasts a really solid and easy to type on feel when compared with traditional keyboards. The buttons give just the right about.

Anyway, I am going to go now and finish what I was doing. May you all be blessed throughout this eternity and here is to seeing you again in the next.

With Sincere Love, Prayer, and Meditation,
Matthew

Filtered Rays of Light Streaming through a Stained Window

Cracks traverse the dirt stained floor as the light plays on a chair left unattended.
Outside the sun beats down on grass going brown from the dry summer.
A playground swing stirs in the face of a soft wind.
Inside, the people pray.

Pioneers of new art forms - fools are geniuses.

Things are good here. I perhaps overstated my case, but I believe it is a case worth stating. Perhaps I should just get a button or provide a link to an essay.

Here we go again
There beyond the shores of yesterdays dreams
Lies a world that the eyes of men has never seen

Would you mind if instead of talking I just take your hand?

Piles of Leaves Littering Autumn Strewn Walkways

Okay, so I felt like writing a note, and don't have a whole lot to write about. I wrote a paper over the past few days about not procrastinating and developing meaningful relationships. In the spirit of not procrastinating, I'll use this space to put today's Self Procrastination Evaluation:

Homework:
None past due, all done for tomorrow

Quizzes:
Done

Notes:
Taken, ready for tomorrow

Projects:
One done, working on another (due Friday)

Alright then. That's that. The self evaluation is completed.

A song, what?

Pouring out over the waters of elder days
We walk along the paths we used to know
There was a little place that we could sit
And now the darkness is all you know

I stay beside you all this long while
While you cast about in darkness
Looking for the splendor of
The life we've always shared

Very well.

So who has signed up for EagleAlert? I know I did. I signed up for e-mail messages and phone messages. That way when something goes on, there is a chance I might know about it.

So here's the thought of the day:

We will never live in a truly free world until every person realizes that a minute or a dollar spent on self-destruction is unjustifiable while there are members of our own species dying of hunger every day.

What can we do about it? Donate time, donate money, play silly Facebook games and sign petitions. Maybe. Maybe some of it works. Maybe none of it works. It's best to try. Pray.

Gosh, on a lighter note, kids, we've got a million reasons to get up every morning.

Give yourself a pat on the back. Be as honest as possible. Don't be afraid to sound like yourself. Love the little things you do that no one seems to notice. Live in the moment. Feel your life.

Blessings to you all, and may you have fabulous days for all your existence.

That was posted in Facebook on a note. It'll go here and on Xanga. My blessings to you all, and to all those who are connected to you, for now and for all time. May your existence be as eternal as you wish it to be.
