Timeless

Which one is better (or sappier)?

In truth, I didn't even know the English one existed...

Derek and Sarah

Jon, Phebe, and Derek

Derek + Travis

Derek + Phebe (the night we won the NCAA!)

Amber and Sarah (who is smiling with her eyes)

Went out with Amber and Sarah tonight, and it was nice. We went to Carrboro Crossing and had rum and cokes, gin and tonics, amaretto sours, and good conversation with pictures to boot! With our language skills, I determined we can conquer Asia since we each have our own specialty. Unfortunately, China gets no love, but then again, it really doesn't need it since it's the SHIT!

I'm not drunk, I promise.

Man, ppl in front of Caribou. There're a lot of assholes who hang out in front of there, and when I'm around them I feel as though it's their mission to suck my energy out so they can replace it all with hate. Just like a dialysis machine, only instead of dirty blood for clean blood, it's positivity for negativity, and the whole affair makes me want to wash my hands of the coffee affair. At least drunks like to go to sleep--those psedo-coffee drinks are so hyped up on coffee that they ain't even scared of the po-po. Word? Just the other day one of them let the air out of Bosslady's tires, and when I parked Bertha-Nellie in front of the shop today, I made the sign over the cross over the old girl. She made it through ^_^

I'm graduating soon, but I realize that if this whole going to China thing doesn't work out like I want it to, I don't have any other recourse, really, accept to work like the average college student. I'm still operating on the school calendar, so I'd have to wait until next August or something before I could land a new gig. Wow, could I really work in an office? Or, maybe I'd be to scared to leave and I'd try to land a gig at the CAC or in the Study Abroad Office. I coudl work at the SAO, though...Imagine me, sending kids off to China, making sure they'd stop off at sketchy ass places like Kunming, Shenzhen, Chongqing, and Macao (Aomen). Then they'd see the real China.

Incest

"Incest"

Richard Bruce Nugent

I have seen the tense length of my mother’s lover--
White with strain near the body of her child;
Damp with passion beside ivory softness;
Hot with desire to be cooled with soft coolings--
Had felt hot breath breathe short on the soft lips of me.
Felt taut muscles flinch at the feel of cool softness;
Sensed damp, curly hair brush with tremors my forehead;
Felt dry lips that fumbled in pained passion searching;
Felt hard whiteness damp with thin-lipped desire
For the soft satiation of the smooth cooling ivory
Of the body of the Child of my mother and her lover

Future Plans

I cannot fancy myself a world-traveler. I've been abroad, for extended periods of time even, yet in regards to the world, I'm still very short-sighted.

Places I want to go:
2010 - Japan (Tokyo, Fukuoka)
2010 - Sichuan/Xizang/Shenyang/etc
2010 - SE Asia (Singapore, Indonesia, Vietnam, Thailand) or S. Korea!
2011 - West Coast America (San Francisco, Los Angeles, Seattle)
2011 - Canada
2011 - Mexico (years in the making!)
2012 - Paris, the Netherlands, Italy, London-town
2013 - Africa (depending on political climate) Senegal, Botswana, Nigeria, South Africa, Rwanda, Somalia, Ethiopia, Congo, and hopefully, a newly democratic Zimbabwe.

Without scholarships, though, I better be making some maaaaaad money to get all this done.

Anyone wanna come with me? We can start making plans. I've already reserved Jon for Paris, so anything is possible.

Thanks Brittney

Warning 三部!

I woke up this morning, and my first thoughts were of studying for my Chinese quiz, going to work this evening, and pulling an all nighter for my CR class.

And entire 13 minutes passed before the thought of a cigarette went through my mind.

I'm down to two cigarettes a day that I bum from friends, and if I can't bum, then not a cig I smoke. I haven't bought a pack since Saturday, and I never will again (until August...maybe).

GLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW--RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY!

The Purpose

A very rough idea for something I want to do. It's shabby, but I'm too sleepy and drunk with tea and incense to refine it just yet.

Art for the sake of poverty;
Poverty for the sake of art.
Hungering to know humanity;
Wond'ring how they could part.
Digits beginning with zeros;
Hope fills his grocery cart.
Only from within of the Struggle,
Does he come to know he's smart.
