to remind myself when it gets hard

subject: marathon?

Hey Akash
Sukh tells me you're kind of a "bad" runner.... not in those words.
i just want to let you know that i suck! i'm a HORRIBLE runner!
as bad as this sounds, knowing that you're just as bad a runner as i am is comforting to me.
You're doing this, right???
if you're not, LIE TO ME!!!
mentally i need to know that you have the same doubts i have, and that this is just as hard for me as it is for you.
in my head i need you to run with me, even if we never train together
ok? no pressure or anything :)
sorry you don't even know me..i think that's why i'm writing to you.
i think i can do this.
Christine


re: marathon?
Good morning Christine! Of course I remember you! Yes, a bad runner would probably be the best words to describe it... considering I've never really attempted any type of long distance running before... yes, I'm doing this... my current lifestyle is far from what I'd ideally like it to be... our health involves the mind, body and soul, and if we don't start taking care of ourselves now, we will def deal with the consequences in our future... I figure this would be a perfect opportunity to transition into the lifestyle I've always envisioned myself to have... with all the love and support we provide for each other, it will be a very positive experience... you're absolutely right, we can do this... looking forward to training with everyone soon... thanks for writing, as yourself, motivation is key, and your words, along with Sukh's, have inspired me to do this... and I know we'll be successful at anything we put our mind to...
Akash


we're doing it...

Look at the sky.
Ask yourselves: Has the sheep eaten the flower, yes or no?
And you will see how everything changes...
- The Little Prince, Antoine de Saint-Exupery

science considers space to be a fundamental quantity, a quantity which can not be defined via other quantities because other quantities are already defined via space.
source: wikipedia

hmm what does that mean?

space is one of those weird things. by its nature, its an emptiness, a nothing. its always there but most of the time i don't even notice it. doyounoticethespacesherenowthattheyaregone?

then there's the space that's a placeholder for something else.
the same nothingness, but all up in my face. it's there, like when i'm driving and i feel the absence in the passenger seat next to me

i need a nap

A great silence overcomes me
and I wonder why I ever thought
to use language.
-Rumi

i keep getting called out at meetings
for being quiet.

i wish...

if i could change just one thing about myself,
i wish i could articulate
and be articulate
out loud

9 months and 4 days have passed since i quit my job.
time. well. spent.

as much as i would love to put it off forever,
its time for me to go back to work
...a month from now :)

this will be my One Last Glorious Month aka O.L.G.M.

during my O.L.G.M i will:
- relish every morning i get to sleep in. how i will miss thee
- cook at least one meal every single day so by the end i'll know how to make 30 dishes.
- learn how to swim, dammit
- read a buttload of books (surprisingly i've been good at this lately)
- run. today sukh and i agreed that we will do a marathon together next year. so this one is actually a year long commitment... eeek this is a big thing and i think i will chicken out. please hold me accountable Kuo
- btc, balls out

3 reasons why i enjoy jogging as of late:

- brian points out every KFC and gelato place on our route
- when i'm tired, he yells out phrases like "apple bottom jeans!"
- feels like i am laughing non-stop. i get an ab workout at the same time

thank you brian :)

When there's nothing left to burn

You have to set yourself on fire
- lyric from some song Kuo sent me

oh geez i'm having a crisis

i would love to blame this on my period

my whole life is just one major case of PMS.

i want to find a breaking point
i want to break my legs (but not really, knock on wood)
i want to break down
i want to crack
i want it to be hard. i want a challenge
i want it to hurt. is that weird?

am i crazy?

the best way for me to explain it is to compare it to my goryo
which was not even that hardcore
but i will never forget the morning of the seventh day when I broke my fast
i took a bite of my peanut butter and jelly sandwich and the damage was done -
from that moment on, the way i looked at food was different.
i could actually taste the difference.

and that taste has stayed in my mouth
it's not the food, the food is exactly the same. it's me
you know what i mean?

i want that
i want things to taste differently

shots of the engagement taken by genessee




my sister is ridiculously beautiful.

i can't see myself in a relationship anytime soon
and marriage (my own) is the farthest thing from my mind right now,
but knowing the two of them are beginning a life together
makes me genuinely authentically happy...
i almost (ALMOST! says my cold black heart) feel like i'm in love too

we're growing up yo

i looked out my plane window and i had a front row seat to the Northern Lights!
i would describe it as a ballet of one part sea kelp, one part cloud mobile, one part 300 (the movie), and one part main street electrical parade.

but onto more important news...

last night Aldrich proposed to my sister!! in front of about 50 friends and family :)
Drich's family and friends even flew down from Frisco

CONGRATULATIONS NANET & ALDY!

-Last words of Pancho Villa

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
