to China and I still haven’t packed. I’m too excited, lazy and tired !
I absolutely cannot wait.
“When we were five, they asked us what we wanted to be when we grew up. Our things were answers like astronaut, president, or in my case, princess… When we were ten, they asked us again. We answered - rock star, cowboy, or in my case, gold medalist… But now that we’ve grown up, they want a more serious answer. Well, how about this… Who the hell knows? This isn’t a time to make hard and fast decisions. This is the time to make mistakes. Take the wrong train and get stuck somewhere chill. Fall in love - a lot. Major in philosophy because there’s no way to make a career out of that. Change your mind. Then change it again because nothing is permanent. So make as many mistakes as you can. That way, someday, when they ask again what we want to be… We won’t have to guess. We’ll know.”
And that’s my favorite quote from the movie.
Today was the Oscar Grant trial, and all the shops and libraries had to close early (at around 3:00 PM). A little boy saw the “closed” sign at Asian Branch Library and started screaming his eyes out.
It was so sad, but cute at the same time. It seemed like the library meant the world to him.
Maybe it is?
Noah and the Whale / Blue Skies
This is the last song that I write
While still in love with you
This is the last song that I write
While you’re even on my mind
‘Cause it’s time to leave those feelings behind
Oh, ‘cause blue skies are coming
But I know it’s hard
I feel like I am going to get fired soon, because there were a slew of unfortunate events that all attribute to making me look like a bad employee.
Why does the world hate me so?
Maybe its meant to be.
Sigh. Shit happens. There’s nothing I can do. What’s done is done, and now I just have to move forward and make the best out of the situation.
