annoyed

saving some lovely ladies from ranting on the phone by writing this all down. sigh.

let's take a second to talk about my favorite (slash least favorite) subject in life - fake people.
man, do i hate fake people.
its sad when you know people are fake, and even worse when you know people that used to be "real" and then turned to the dark side. tsk tsk. you were warned.

specifically when i'd like to be dealing with people that really care, i hate when you fake people show up. i could spot you from a mile away. you wreak of fakeness, like that kid in school who bathed in cologne to cover up his horrible B.O. its disgusting.

i'd love if you would just get called out for exactly what you are. you're the person that walks into the room and couldn't care less about the discussion - you just wanna get in on the action. you're the person who really could care less about the cause, and are probably using the campaign to make more facebook friends. you're the person who wants to make a name for yourself, a legacy, and feel important for even a short time. you're absolutely pathetic. and you annoy the shit out of me.

stop smiling like you really care about the person you're talking to. stop nodding like you agree with the point being made, when you're secretly not listening at all. stop latching on to every possible opportunity to get your name and face out there, because life shouldn't be a constant photo-op. don't call yourself a conversationalist - what that really means is that you're usually full of shit (that wasn't directed at anyone in particular. though there's a few that come to mind.)

sighhhhhhhhhhh.

On that note, crazy humanitarian in me is going nuts with ideas and campus collabs.
Keeps me going on the NGO career path in life (pleaseeeeeee.)

it's all in the (hanging) hand

lady luck, thanks for following me around a bit more lately. i feel like after first semester, i fucking deserve it.
two new classes, two new amazing profs, two new (but not new) topics i absolutely adore. so much background info i could burst at the seams, and for once i actually enjoy the readings (let's be honest, i'd read that book in my spare time, no question). enjoying school for the first time in a long time. studious colleen is a shocker to some (lucia!) but hey, it's about time.

heart to hearts with my lovely girl (you dont know me at all though LOL. start investing that quality time, captain flakes!) point to latest revelation: do what makes you happy. and thats it. my heart hurts when friends suffer, pointing again to that one simple conclusion. sitting on the subway with unstoppable tears of empathy - a sombre thing. knock on wood for all y'all.

LIFE IS SHORT. make the most of it.

bullshit

Wise man once said, "Life is like a box of chocolates." mmmm... not exactly.

Life's more like a chalkboard in a world without water. You can wipe it with the brush and say its "clean", but the dust and markings and smudges from whatever you were writing before are technically still there.  The chalkboard can be blank, but never clean. And the longer you go without actually washing it, the dirtier it gets. So people, stop searching for that clean slate, that fresh start, cuz its a waste of time. Just cuz its a new week, or a new month, or a new year, doesnt mean everything suddenly changed from the day before.

after that stupid analogy, a few random thoughts...
1. to be cut-throat, or not to be? watched so many people at this stupid school pull the most ridic shit over the years. never wanted a class so bad in my life. MY TURN.
2. ROSI, you know i hate you. in fact... everyone does. but you semi redeemed yourself late this week and for that, we can be cordial. at best.
3. games night = triple high fives LOL
4. like high school... juniors are so into it and seniors are so over it. and half the school couldnt care less. but the SAC loves it. (guess the topic)
5. go suck a big d, ROGERS. ya, that's right. instead of 80 bux a month, i now have free cable. life is good.

throw aways and better days

some people literally make me sit back and go "WHAT THE FUCK?!". i just don't get it.

hard to have fresh starts when the hard-forgotten past continues to creep back into life, time and again.

new years is supposed to be time for reflecting on the past year (omg, don't even get me started), and look ahead to the year to come. better to do A LOT of the latter and as little as possible of the former. highs WAY too high, lows WAY too low. i already reminisce a little too often.

solution? take this year to do things for me - and for fun. focus, focus, focus! the end is way too close for comfort, and there's so much to think about. its jan 2, and already trying to load up the schedule with adventures out of this school, this city, and even this country. and i just got back a few days ago... LOL.

a few words of wisdom for 2010:
1. over-investment in fairweather friends is never a good policy
2. there is no #2 (if you're reading this, you'll get it.)
3. there is always something more important to think about
4. f-o-c-u-s. spell it out.
5. when people care, they'll show it. and if they don't, you can't force it. that's life.

au revoir 2009. pics say it all.

rant

stupidest thing ever = people who clap when the pilot lands the airplane.
think about it.
i'm pretty sure you just clapped for someone... because they did their job.
do you see me clapping for the guy who's making my subway sandwich?
NOPE.
sigh.
