Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired, signifies,
in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed.
This world in arms is not spending money alone. It is spending the sweat of its laborers, the genius of its scientists, the hopes of its children...
Under the cloud of threatening war, it is humanity hanging from a cross of iron.

Dwight D. Eisenhower
April 16, 1953

I kind of miss taking notes and writing papers and pulling all-nighters

Today Nels and I went to a nice little cafe where the menu had no prices, and at the end of your meal, instead of a bill they ask you to give from your heart whatever amount you wish, and those donations are used to pay for future guests' meals.
Then right before we left, a server gave both me and Nels a five dollar bill, under the condition that we spend the money on someone else.

So #1, the food in front of you is a gift from a complete stranger,
#2 they don't charge you,
#3 they give you money as you're leaving.
Such a beautiful concept of giving, no?

Speaking of beautiful...recently I met someone really cool, someone who asks me--forces me to be bigger than I am, does that make sense? It's an overwhelmingly scary thought, but at the same time I feel like doing cartwheels

EDIT: It's called The Seva Cafe in Long Beach, it's open every Saturday from 5pm-10pm. Definitely worth visiting!

I FIND MYSELF BECOMING INCREASINGLY SHY EACH DAY, MAYBE QUIET IS A BETTER WORD. SOMETIMES I THINK IF I DIDN'T TALK TO MY FAMILY OR TO PEOPLE AT WORK, WOULD I HAVE SPOKEN AT ALL TODAY? AND IF I DIDN'T CATCH MYSELF THINKING THAT, I WOULD PROBABLY GO FOR DAYS WITHOUT SAYING ANYTHING.
TYPING IN ALL CAPS IS AN ILLUSION, IT MAKES ME SEEM LIKE I'M YELLING, BUT REALLY I'M NOT. TYPING DOESN'T COUNT AS TALKING ANYWAY.
GAH, ONLY I WOULD BLOG ABOUT SOMETHING AS TRIVIAL AS BEING QUIET, MAYBE I SHOULD HAVE KEPT THIS TO MYSELF, BUT I THINK MORE THAN ANYTHING I JUST WANT TO BE HEARD

how to be unimpressive.

hypothetically speaking because come on now when was the last time I even talked to a guy?

Situation:
Guy repeatedly references the amount of money he makes and/or the awesomecrazyexpensive car he drives.

What I am thinking:
Why does he feel the need to tell me this?
Is he so insecure that he has to flaunt wealth/material possessions to validate his self-worth? Or is he overcompensating for his incredibly small peepee?

conversely,

Guy: I work at the circus as a parrot trainer.

What I am thinking:
How intriguing! Please tell me more!

moral of the story: who makes a better impression?
arrogant rich guy vs. parrot trainer

Parrot trainer hands down!

i am sitting here looking at my online bank statement and i am laughing to myself because there is barely anything in my account and almost a year ago i had asked you what should i do, should i take it? and you said its a good title, you can finally say you have a "real" job and think of the money. so very practical.

(i am so glad i did not take your advice!* )

*but i still appreciate and value your opinion! heehee

for a long time i wondered if i made a mistake
it took me almost a year to fully understand the repercussions of my decision
but today i breathe a sigh of relief, and i am so happy and grateful to be broke!! huzzah!

I am a pencil

my life

I Open My Eyes
Take The Crusts Out
Stretch Myself And Check (If I Haven’t)
Returned Again And Everything Is Okay
Still There Is Something Missing
Like All The Walls
