A lot of people, they just talk, but they don't really do things. - Marat Safin

When life tells me no and I want to tell it to fuck off. I come up with Ideas in my head on how to tell it to fuck off. Here are my recent fuck-off-life schemes:
1. Pierce My Lip
2. Get a Job in another state (any state) teaching tennis
3. Go with my original major; professional tennis management
4. Get a kitten
5. Get any job in any state
6. Drop out of college and become a stunt driver for movies
Which one do you think I should choose? I'm a fan of #1 in particular.

Thoughts on Harry Potter (I won't give anything away):
I went to see the new movie last night. I have yet to read the half blood prince and so I wasn't really sure about what was going to happen. There was a few lines about light and dark that I found interesting. They stated that light is what gets rid of darkness. After those lines I was more keyed into the battle between light and dark. Lord Voldemort and his crew being the dark and Harry with his crew being the light. I thought they displayed the difference between light and dark very well it was almost creepy how well it was. Also the whole movie was dark and dreary in general. The tone of the characters were dark the sky was always dark in the movie and the colors of the movie were just very dull for the most part. They kept talking about how everyone was fearing Lord Voldemort. The fear was taking over their lives. It was almost morbidly depressing. I thought it was stunningly similar to our lives today. We are in a recession, our unemployment is at an all time high, our troops are still going over to Iraq and Afghanistan, our families are terrified that we'll lose our homes, jobs and cars, our lives are coming to a dead halt after years of bliss. Today we are living in fear. We have our own voldemorts to deal with. I was watching that movie and couldn't help but feeling like it was an obvious parallel to our lives today.

Update on my life:
-I moved into a house with a family and several thousand mosquitos. I live out in BFE. I never thought I would live in BFE before the age of 40. But it's ok. It's better than where I was living before.
- I started work this week. I really like teaching tennis and the people who I work with.
- I have seen Dane Cook Live!
- I went to California and had a fabulous fucking time!
- I rode on a motorcycle
- I play ping-pong almost on a daily basis

The other day I went to meijer and when I was coming back out I saw a guy push his cart into the cart corral. Instead of making sure of it actually going in he just gave it a big push and it missed the cart corral. Instead it was rolling away and down the parking lot. I thought it was just going to run into a curb at worst and not hit any car because it wasn't heading to any cars. Then it all of sudden took almost a u-turn and started straight towards my car. I freaked out and started running after it even though I was all the way across the parking lot. I was probably about 30 ft. or so behind it and the cart was about 5ish ft away from hitting my car. Then all of a sudden a guy runs out from no where (not the guy who pushed the cart in the first place) and grabs the cart from hitting my car. Awesome! I said thank you and took the cart and actually put it away. This is one of those things that give me faith in people. I know it sounds dumb but the guy didn't see me before he grabbed the cart. He just ran to it so it didn't hit anyone's car. I really like catching people doing good things when no one else is watching. Even if it is just stopping a cart from dinging a car.

I know this is old but this has entertained me so many times. I thought I would blog it.
One day I would like to wear a banana costume and sing this song and do the dance to it.

I am sitting at LCC and I finished my History of Art Exam about a 1/2 hr. ago. Now I know eavesdropping probably isn't the most honorable thing to do but I love watching people. They amaze me. I even love it more when someone does something great for someone else when no one is watching. I am sitting here with my head phones on and I was listening to my spanish when a teacher and student stepped out of a classroom that I am sitting nearby. I turned my sound off and kept my headphones in. I'm not sure what happened with the student but something has gone terribly wrong for him and he didn't show up for his exam on time. He was to the point of tears and was trying to hold it back when he was just talking with his professor "I stayed up all night and I don't know what's going on. I don't know if I have been having panic attacks or what. I'm sorry I didn't show up. . . " The professor responded "Hey. It's alright. Don't apologize. These things happen. I have had so many times when unexplainable things happen to me. A lot of people don't understand it but it happens. Why don't you go get some sleep and maybe a bite to eat and come back and take the exam this afternoon or tomorrow." Then they set up a time for him to take his exam later. To me that is awesome that the professor did that for his student. I have had so many times when the shit has hit the Fan for me this past year and a professor just wouldn't have it. It is like professor's lose their humanness. They forget that life gets in the way and everyone's life doesn't revolve solely around school. I have had a couple of professors who understand but I can think of only a couple. It's awesome to see these kinds of things from people, especially professors.
