So, of course you all know how lazy I am by now. My biggest weakness. However, there are certain things that I go above and beyond to do and you know what? Most of the time it involves my friends. If there is one thing that I have gotten from college, net working is definitely it. The more people you know and are on good terms with, the more opportunities you are exposed to. Just remember that, if not anything else. Because ultimately, when it comes to a job where the employer knows and likes someone versus a job where the person is a blank face, well, I think you know who will get the job.
Oh, by the way, I took Hortense back last Tuesday, it was very sad, but I think that she will do okay. I don't think that I could get another Kitty anytime soon because she was the very best cat that I've ever known. I would take her, but I cannot assume responsibility for a living thing at this unstable time in my life. Who knows where I'll be in a year from now.

Strange Human Behaviors
The other day, Animal Refuge Center in Muncie, IN flooded. They lost electricity, the furnace went out, animals were dangerously deep in this water, etc. Within a couple of hours, all the dogs had foster homes. A few more hours and all of the cats had foster homes.
My question
Why do we not feel sympathetic for our fellow man/woman when they are on the streets? Why would we take in a stray animal before letting a human stranger stay in our home?
And yes, my roommate and I are part of this statistic.
This is Hortence; also known as Kitty or Sabrina.
She is our foster cat until her home is fixed.

Procrastination At Its Finest
Here I am at 5:43 AM, I woke up around 9 AM yesterday morning and have yet to go to sleep. Usually I would blame this on my insomnia, but about two or three times a semester I have another excuse: too much homework. Of course, this is all my fault, I could have easily prevented this by buying the book at least a few weeks ago instead of ordering it last Friday and receiving it Tuesday. Not to mention actually working on something or studying for something ahead of time. After 4 years of college, you would think that I would learn this shit, but no. I'm alive off of uppers and plan on being alive on uppers until around 8 pm this evening. I guess every action has a consequence. I just know that if they had a major in procrastination I would have my Doctorate by this point in time.

Summer
How many times can I come
back to this place?
And how much it changes over time.
How this music made tears flow from my face.
Now, it is a different feeling;
A different vision.
I used to see you and your chameleon irises.
I used to see a veil over my face.
What used to be white has turned to yellow and green
and blue.
Bright blue.
I now see a brilliant day.
A gorgeous day.
A day when my bare skin can touch the air
and feel wonderful.
A day when the lilies are in full bloom.
What used to be winter
is now summer
What used to be dead
is now alive.

Planned Parenthood Shenanigans
"Planned Parenthood Federation of America is the nation's leading sexual and reproductive health care provider and advocate".
So, let me ask and pardon my French in doing so; Why the fuck are they trying to getting rid of it?
I watched news casts from both conservative and liberal stations, go figure, they are polar opposites on the subject, just like political parties are with pretty much everything. I have to go left for this one. Fox News argues that they're telling young girls to get rid of their problems with abortion and they want to hear as little about their situations as possible... For instance, if they were raped by some 40 year old man, they should keep that to themselves. Do I agree that this is wrong? Yes. Obviously, whether you are young or old, it is important for you to get your story out, but in the same token, that's not what Planned Parenthood is about. You go to Planned Parenthood with a problem, they will give you a solution, they won't give you therapy. Instead of getting rid of Planned Parenthood altogether, why not just get rid of the people that act so rudely in these situations? And, if this organization no longer has the funding, where are these women going to go?
I remember one time I went with my friend to this "Women's Center" place. She was pregnant. She wanted to make sure. She was, but the option of abortion was not brought up one single time. Instead, they gave her a bag with baby cloths in it and some Christian quotes over life and children. Bullshit, bullshit, bullshit. She was very young at the time and was not financially or emotionally ready for a child.
The last time that I checked, this was a nation founded on diverse religions, so why are we advocating places like this instead of places like Planned Parenthood. Planned Parenthood is the place to go for underage kids with genuine concerns that they do not want to reveal to their parents. Perhaps, instead of cutting the funding, they should look for ways to improve a much needed program.
Come on America, let's think about the ladies too. Maybe they should start cutting the funding to some of these political leaders that have their heads so far up their asses that they can't even be remotely down to earth and know 'real-life' situations.

Dreamin On a Grey Afternoon
Dreams have always intrigued me, I suppose because when I do remember my dreams they are so damn vivid to the point where I can remember them years down the line.
Last night I had a dream that I was in one of the buildings on campus, when all of a sudden about a hundred cops were outside and I could hear my name come from their lips. Apparently, they had accused me of murder because I happened to be in the same building around the same time as someone was murdered or perhaps committed suicide. Instead of confronting them and admitting that I played no part in the death, I ran. I don't know why, it is something that I would never do. Family and friends were helping me hide, but only for short periods of time because, in dream world, the cops were all over the crime and in high pursuit of finding me. Posters were up, pictures on the television. News reports. Finally, I found refuge in a cottage that my brother and sister in law had just recently moved out of, but had not sold. This is when I woke up.
According to dream interpretation, the dream represents that I am failing in honoring my commitments and obligations. It also implies that I'm being overwhelmed, shocked, and disappointed. It also says that I may be getting a sense of rejection from people around me and that I harbor inspirational emotions. It also talks about internal battles with myself and anxiety over the future. It says that the cottage may represent an altered sense of reality and escaping responsibilities.
It's funny because I think that these dream interpreters look way too deep into dreams, but for once, the interpretation is pretty accurate. My laziness has really peaked to an all time high and I want to change this so badly.

Longing to Leave
There is such a big big world and I don't get out of the town I'm in nearly as much as I should. You probably don't either. Be spontaneous and go somewhere. Right now. You only live once, why not?
