I've Been Thinking

This past month, especially these past couple days, I have been thinking about a lot of stuff. I'm pretty uncertain about a lot of things. I've been asking myself, "am I living it right?" like John Mayer once asked. I know my life is good, but I don't know if I'm living it like I should. There's stuff that I want to have, but I don't know if it's best for me in the long run. But what about carpe diem? Hamlet's tragic flaw of failing to act. I don't want to be a Hamlet. But patience is also important to master. However, there's a fine line between patience and waiting. Do I have patience or am I just waiting too long or too often? The whole career path that I will be forced to walk down soon is still unclear to me. That freaks me out. Not the starting a career part as much as the initial choosing of what I want to do as a profession. Also 'been thinking about what made/makes me happy, what I have and what's missing. Maybe I have all that I need right now. Maybe I need something else in my life. Everything seemed so different one year ago. I've been trying to weigh in on the pros & cons of the present and this time last year. It's weird thinking back and reflecting, but I find myself doing that a lot. Maybe I need to let go of some stuff or ideas. Maybe I already have and don't want to realize it. There's a lot of stuff to think about. So I'm truly hoping that my two and a half week getaway from Irvine will help sort some stuff out. I'm hoping to come back home refreshed and with a new perspective on things. I'll be surrounded by family, people who love me, and I hope that they will inspire something in me that will make me go "a-ha! I get it now." If I still feel the same way when I come back, then maybe I should look more into what's happening or not happening around me. This might not make any sense to anyone but me, but who cares?

Truth

UP

Just saw UP in 3D this morning. It was quite good. Better than Wall-E in my opinion. It was kind of a downer at times though. But Pixar has always done a good job at balancing happy emotions with sad ones. I want an Ellie badge!

Raccoon

I saw a raccoon today. I thought raccoons were nocturnal, but I saw one at 7:00pm when it was still bright outside. It ran across the street while I was pulling up to my friend's house. I almost hit it with my car, but didn't because I was driving at the residential speed limit of 25mph. Once I parked, I went to see where it went so I could take a picture of it with my phone. I then noticed a striped tail and furry animal butt sticking out of the storm drain on the side of the curb. I walked over to it and looked inside the dark entrance to the stanky underground. There it was. Looking back at me with its claws grasping on to the metal steps that lead down to the brown land. It was just chilling there looking at me. I just stood there looking at it. It was cute. I believe it was my first time seeing a wild raccoon. I named him Max. Fin.

I got pulled over

At 11:59pm on Thursday, May 21st.
I was pulled over by a police officer.
It was a male officer.
He was not going for my seductive eyelash fluttering.
No sir, not this officer, not tonight.
He wrote me a ticket.
It took him a while, but he wrote it.
He wrote me a fix-it-ticket.
He said I was cooperative.
He liked that.
I signaled left and drove down Culver.
I drove home.
Sweating in my Kobe jersey.
LAKERS blew it tonight!
WTF!?!?

I usually don't buy hats, but I like this one.
